BG Group said it will cut at least 154 jobs as the company vacates its headquarters in Houston and moves staff to oil major Shell’s offices.
It comes after the company was taken over by Shell in February.
According to reports, BG Group told the Texas Workforce Commission it would be reducing its headcount by 118 positions by the end of August while a further 36 employees would go by the end of September.
It comes after filing from Companies House show former BG boss Helge Lund took a pay packet home of more than £5million.
The former Statoil chief executive was also given more than £9million in shares.
