Chris Foote: 1 June 2017
Oil giant Shell is to cut 90 jobs at its Scottish headquarters in Aberdeen.
Shell told staff on Monday that the positions are expected to go by the end of 2017.
The firm said the move is not connected to plans to sell off £3bn of assets to North Sea rival Chrysaor.
Shell is also cutting 380 jobs in Glasgow with the closure of its offices in the city.
Steve Phimister, UK vice-president for upstream operations, 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.”
Shell will pocket an initial £2.3bn from its deal with Chrysaor and could earn millions from future oil discoveries made by the smaller firm.

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.
