Shell to axe 90 jobs in Aberdeen
They will all be onshore positions
Last updated 1st Jun 2017
We're just hearing 90 more jobs are to go at Shell's headquarters in Aberdeen.
They'll be half agency staff, half employees of the oil firm.
It's just the latest round of job cuts in the industry as the North Sea struggles with the low price of oil.
The firm made the announcement at a meeting in Aberdeen.
Speaking at this meeting, Steve Phimister, Vice President Upstream UK & Ireland, said:
“We intend to reduce the size of the organisation by approximately 90 onshore positions by the end of 2017. Offshore roles will not be impacted by this decision.
"Our aim is to ensure our organisation is appropriate to support our drive to become the most competitive and resilient oil and gas business in the UK Continental Shelf."
"We are committed to the UK North Sea and see considerable future value and opportunity; we remain a significant employer, and aim to continue to invest significantly in the North Sea in the coming years.”
