“The operational activity of the company was affected by the global economic climate in the oil and gas industry, the determining factor being the drastic decrease in crude oil prices. The effects of the oil price decline – the postponement of major projects for exploration and production of hydrocarbons, conventional or unconventional, investment cut, the severe diminishing in demand for well services – were fully felt in the markets where the company is active. The collapse of the oil barrel price has generated domino effects, the main petroleum operators significantly reducing operational and investment budgets,” the company said in a statement to Bucharest Stock Exchange.
