NEW YORK (Reuters) -The Colonial Pipeline Company, operator of the largest U.S. fuel transportation system, informed employees this week that it is planning to cut some jobs, according to two sources familiar with the matter and a company statement.

"We shared with our employees this week that a recent review to ensure our organization is best aligned to continue safely meeting our business strategy and priorities will result in changes to various team structures and some individual roles," the company said in response to Reuters queries about the job cuts.

The scope of the cuts could not be learnt immediately. Colonial Pipeline declined to say how many employees will be impacted by the cuts.
