Aberdeen job cuts loom as Shell retrenches in North Sea
Group Business Correspondent
ROYAL Dutch Shell has announced plans to cut around 330 jobs in its UK North Sea oil and gas business which is run from Aberdeen.
The cuts will reduce total employee numbers in the Anglo-Dutch giant’s North Sea business to around 1,000.
It is understood the bulk of the cuts will affect office-based roles in Aberdeen.
The cuts are being made under a programme initiated by Shell amid the oil price plunge that was triggered by the coronavirus crisis.
