SAN RAMON , Calif., Oct. 31 (UPI) -- Chevron Corp. announced Friday it will cut up to 10 percent of its workforce, or about 7,000 workers, as oil prices continue to slump.
Chevron, the second largest energy company by revenue in the United States, said it will make its deepest cuts since the 2001 Texaco merger. At the same time, oil and gas output will rise by up to 15 percent through the end of 2017, rather than the previously forecast 20 percent production growth.
