Shell profits have been under pressure in recent quarters
Sunday, 30 December 2007, 14:41 GMT
Anglo-Dutch oil company Shell has said it is considering the position of a number of workers as part of a long-running review of its operations.
The comments come after reports that the company was looking at offshoring as many as 3,600 posts in its information technology (IT) division.
Shell said it was in talks with firms over the possible move, and was also thinking about other changes.
It added that no decision had yet been made, though that would happen in 2008.
Shell has 108,000 staff worldwide, based in 130 countries.
Since 2005, the company has been reviewing its business in an attempt to cut costs by about £500m a year.
As well as the possible changes in the IT operations, Shell also said it was looking at reducing the number of staff at its finance division, as well as combining other departments and operational centres.
Shell is not alone in trying to cut costs, and rival BP also has announced plans to reduce overheads.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
