BP cuts jobs due to oil price fall

Oil giant BP is accelerating plans to cut hundreds of jobs within its back-office departments - many of them based in the UK and US.
The company, which has been downsizing since the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010, said it had long planned the cuts, but is speeding up the process due to falling oil prices.
Crude prices have fallen by almost 40% this year, reducing oil firms' margins.
BP employs almost 84,000 people worldwide, and some 15,000 in the UK.
In the US, the firm employs 20,000 people, many of whom are based in Texas.

Chevron to cut 225 jobs in North Sea oil operations


(Reuters) - U.S. oil major Chevron Corp. will cut about 225 jobs in its North Sea oil operations after reviewing its business in the region where high costs have undermined some field developments.

The second largest U.S. oil company will reduce by around one fifth its Aberdeen, Scotland-based oil and gas exploration operations headcount, it said in a statement to Reuters. The jobs will include contractors, employees, and expatriates.

Chevron, like many of its peers, has been under heavy pressure from shareholders to cut spending after seeing disappointing earnings and plans to sell about $10 billion of assets in the next three years.

Home loan or Car loan calculator
