Royal Dutch Shell PLC announced plans to slash 6,500 jobs Thursday amid a slump in oil prices that has sent a wave of job cuts rippling through the industry.
Shell’s job reductions came as Chevron Corp. said Wednesday it would cut 1,500 jobs, while U.K. utility Centrica PLC said Thursday it would slash 600 positions and work to shrink its oil-and-gas production division.
Even deeper cuts have emerged this week at oil services firms, which big energy companies are squeezing for savings; Saipem SpA of Italy, for instance, said it would slash 8,800 jobs over the next two years.more on............http://nairametrics.com/see-whos-laying-off-in-the-oil-industry/
