LONDON, June 30 (Reuters) - Chevron ( CVX ) will close
its Aberdeen, Scotland office, the U.S. oil producer said on
Monday, ending the company's decades-long presence in the city
as part of its ongoing restructuring.
The closure of its only Scottish office will take place
between December 2025 and December 2026, a Chevron ( CVX ) spokesperson
said in a statement.
Chevron ( CVX ) last year said it planned to sell its remaining UK North
Sea oil and gas assets and exit the aging basin after more than
55 years in a push to focus on more profitable assets. The
company is in the midst of cutting up to $3 billion in costs by
the end of next year, which includes laying off up to 20% of
employees, in order to turn around the business that has lagged
competitors.
Chevron ( CVX ) will maintain its presence in the UK through its
London office. The spokesperson did not immediately respond when
asked how many jobs would be affected by the Aberdeen office
closure.
