British Petroleum announced an 80% reduction in first quarter profits over last year, dropping from $2.6-billion in 2015 to $532-million this year.
The company said it will likely cut capital spending further from $17-billion this year, down about $2-billion.
In 2015, BP reduced capital spending three times, cut nearly 10% of its 80,000 person workforce, and drastically worked to reduce spending.
