Shell: No plans to cut N.O. jobs, leadership
The reshuffling of leadership within Shell that will eliminate 350 to 450 management positions and thousands of rank-and-file jobs wont affect its New Orleans office, a company spokesman says.
The shakeup comes after the surprise resignation of CEO Linda Cook earlier this year. Incoming Chief Executive Peter Voser announced Wednesday that up to a third of the companys senior management is vulnerable to job cuts along with a significant portion of the Dutch-English companys 24,000-person staff.
But spokesman Bill Tanner said Shells investment and plans in the Gulf of Mexico bode well for its exploration and production offices in New Orleans, and that Frank Glaviano Sr. would remain in charge. The company has about 450 employees at its Poydras Street offices.
Its safe to say the operations based in New Orleans will stay there, Tanner said Monday.
Shell has a 35 percent interest and is the operator of the Perdido project, a deepwater exploration project 200 miles off the Texas coast. Chevron and BP are partners in the project.
The changes Voser outlined last week will combine Shells three upstream businesses exploration and production, gas and power, and oil sands into two regional units: Upstream Americas and Upstream International.
A new projects and technology division will also be created.

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.
