The dire second quarter also threatened to have a lasting legacy, as reductions in long-term price forecasts will force writedowns of $15bn-$22bn to assets all over the world. Oil-product sales volumes will be 3.5-million to 4.5-million barrels a day in the second quarter, down from 6.6-million a year earlier, driven by a “significant drop” in demand because of the pandemic, the oil major said on Tuesday in a statement ahead of quarterly results on July 30.
