Oil major BP said it will reduce its headcount by 210 positions in Norway in the next two years.
The move comes after 166 job losses last year.
Earlier this month the company said it would be looking to make up to 4,000 redundancies globally as it looks to streamline costs.
A spokesman for BP said the decision was made with a “heavy heart” but there was “no choice” as oil dips below $30.
BP said the positions which will be cut include hired labour, with the redundancies expected this year and in 2017.
The firm currently has five producing fields in Norway, with a total of 13 platforms and one FPSO.
It’s understood staff were told of the decision at a meeting at BP’s headquarters at Forus outside Stavanger on Wednesday morning.
