Cuts will affect 3% of global workforce as Anglo-Dutch oil giant seeks to cut costs to cope with oil price slump and rationalise operations after £40bn deal
Royal Dutch Shell plans to cut about 2,800 jobs after its takeover of BG Group is completed early next year.
Shell said the cuts, quantified for the first time since the $60bn (£40bn) deal was announced in April, would affect about 3% of the combined company’s permanent workforce. It did not reveal which countries or businesses would be affected.
