受世界经济增长放缓、石油供应大幅增加、美元升值及地缘政治等因素影响,国际油价大幅下挫,给大型跨国油企带来了巨大的财务压力,许多大型油企发生严重亏损。其中,BP2015年亏损64.8亿美元,为近20年来最差表现;壳牌2015年利润仅有38亿美元,比上年下降80%。此外,近3年的油价暴跌也导致油企净债务水平大幅增加。 Affected by the slowdown in world economic growth, the substantial increase in oil supply, the appreciation of the U.S. dollar and geopolitics, the international oil prices plunged dramatically. This has brought tremendous financial pressure on large multinational oil companies and caused serious losses on many large oil companies. Among them, BP2015 $ 64.8 billion in sales, the worst performance in nearly 20 years; Shell profit in 2015 was only 3.8 billion US dollars, down 80% over the previous year. In addition, the plunge in oil prices in the past three years also led to a substantial increase in the net debt level of oil companies.
