Chevron has completed a jobs consultation process which will see a reduction in headcount by 140 positions from its North Sea operations.
Earlier this week the company said it would be reducing its spending in 2016 by around 24%.
As previously revealed by Energy Voice last month, the oil giant said the move was being made in a bid to streamline costs.
The announcement follows a decision to cut up to 10% of its workforce globally.
A spokesman said: “Chevron North Sea Limited can confirm that it has completed a review of its organisation.
“This has resulted in the reduction of 140 positions from our onshore locations, including Aberdeen, Denmark, Norway, Houston and London.
“We regularly review our business to improve operational effectiveness and efficiency. Chevron is committed to the UK North Sea and the company is focused on safe and reliable operations.”
Earlier this year Chevron said it would be moving to a new combination shift pattern of three weeks on, three weeks off and two weeks on and four weeks off.
The move, which breaks away from the traditional two on, three off will give the workers the chance to supplement the equal time rota with additional field breaks.
Workers will be able to utilise the new two weeks on, four weeks off shift pattern up to three times a year.
Offshore staff members will work an average of 161 days under the move.
Chevron, along with BP and the other partners in Australia’s largest oil and gas venture have today approved a $2billion expansion in the project, which is the fourth major gas development at the North West Shelf in the past seven years.
