Chevron to implement around 800 job cuts in Texas
The job cuts, slated for 15 July, are said to be a response to the need for cost-cutting and business simplification.
The lay-offs in Texas, where Chevron holds significant operations in the Permian Basin, the leading US oilfield, underscore the company's strategic adjustments amid challenging industry conditions.
In February, Chevron disclosed its workforce reduction plans, which have since become more pressing due to recent operational setbacks.
The revocation of Chevron's licence in Venezuela and the uncertain future of its $53bn acquisition of Hess due to an arbitration dispute have added to the company's pressures.
Chevron had also previously announced the lay-off of at least 600 employees in California, effective 1 June, as reported in a March filing.
Despite these challenges, Chevron remains proactive in seeking new opportunities.
This month, the company expressed its intent to explore and develop significant oil and gas assets in Indonesia, targeting blocks with potential reserves of around 15 trillion cubic feet (tcf) of gas.
Djoko Siswanto, the chairman of Indonesia's upstream oil and gas regulator, SKK Migas, confirmed Chevron's interest.
However, Chevron, along with other multinational oil and gas companies, recently exited its Red Sea oil and gas concession blocks in Egypt after failing to locate any discoveries.
The Egyptian Petroleum Ministry has stated that these companies are reallocating their resources to other areas within Egypt, particularly the Mediterranean.
Chevron was awarded its first oil and gas exploration concessions in the Red Sea alongside Shell and Mubadala Investment Company in 2019.

Qatar urges a Gaza ceasefire after ‘positive response' from Hamas
JERUSALEM — A key mediator on Tuesday stressed the urgency of brokering a ceasefire in Gaza after Hamas showed a 'positive response' to a proposal, but Israel has yet to weigh in as its military prepares an offensive on some of the territory's most populated areas. The prospect of an expanded assault on areas sheltering hundreds of thousands of civilians has sparked condemnation inside Israel and abroad. Most war-weary Palestinians see no place in Gaza as safe, not even declared humanitarian zones, after 22 months of war. Many Israelis, who rallied in the hundreds of thousands on Sunday, fear the offensive will further endanger the remaining hostages in Gaza. Just 20 of the 50 remaining are thought to be alive. 'If this (ceasefire) proposal fails, the crisis will exacerbate,' Majed al-Ansari, a spokesperson for Qatar's foreign ministry, told journalists, adding they have yet to hear from Israel on it. Al-Ansari said Hamas had agreed to terms under discussion. He declined to provide details but said the proposal was 'almost identical' to one previously advanced by U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff. That U.S. proposal was for a 60-day ceasefire, during which some of the remaining hostages would be released and the sides would negotiate a lasting ceasefire and the return of the rest. 'If we get to a deal, it shouldn't be expected that it would be instantaneously implemented,' al-Ansari said. 'We're not there yet.' That cautious assessment came a day after the foreign minister of Egypt, the other Arab country mediating the talks, said they were were pushing for a phased deal and noted that Qatar's prime minister had joined negotiations between Hamas leaders and Arab mediators. Witkoff has been invited to rejoin the talks, Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty told The Associated Press. Witkoff pulled out of negotiations less than a month ago, accusing Hamas of not acting in good faith. It was not clear how Witkoff has responded to the invitation. A senior Israeli official said Tuesday that the country's position on a ceasefire 'is consistent and has not changed.' 'Israel demands the release of all 50 hostages in accordance with the guidelines set by the Cabinet to end the war,' said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak with the media. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said a final push is needed to 'complete the defeat of Hamas.' He has vowed to continue the war until all the hostages are returned and Hamas has been disarmed. Hospitals in Gaza said they had received the bodies of 28 Palestinians killed Tuesday, including women and children, as Israeli strikes continued across the territory. Among them were nine people killed while seeking aid, officials at two hospitals told The Associated Press. The deaths were recorded across Gaza, including in central Deir al Balah, southern Khan Younis and near aid distribution points, hospital officials said. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, an Israeli-backed private American contractor that has become the primary distributor of aid in Gaza since May, operates those sites. Nasser Hospital also said an airstrike killed a mother, father and three children in their tent overnight in Muwasi, a camp for hundreds of thousands of civilians. 'An entire family was gone in an instant. What was their fault?' the children's grandfather, Majed al-Mashwakhi, said, sobbing. Neither the GHF nor Israel's military immediately responded to questions about the casualties reported by Nasser, Awda and al-Aqsa hospitals. The Palestinian death toll in the war surpassed 62,000 on Monday, according to Gaza's Health Ministry, which is part of the Hamas-run government and staffed by medical professionals. The ministry does not say how many of the dead were civilians or combatants, but says women and children make up around half of them. In addition to that toll, other Palestinians have died from malnutrition and starvation, including three reported in the past 24 hours, the ministry said Tuesday. It says 154 adults have died of malnutrition-related causes since late June, when it began counting such deaths, and 112 children have died of malnutrition-related causes since the war began with the Hamas-led attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. Aid groups continue to struggle to deliver supplies to Gaza, where most of the population is displaced, large swaths are in ruins and experts say the 'worst-case scenario of famine is currently playing out.' Israel imposed a full blockade in March, then allowed limited aid to resume two and a half months later. The Israeli military body in charge of humanitarian aid to Gaza, COGAT, said 370 trucks of aid entered Tuesday — still below the 600 per day that the United Nations and partners say is needed. Israel has controlled all Gaza border crossings since seizing the Palestinian side of Rafah in May 2024. With land routes restricted, some countries have attempted to deliver supplies by air and sea. Aid workers face mounting danger, the U.N. warned Tuesday. Its humanitarian office said a record 383 aid workers were killed worldwide in 2024, nearly half of them in Gaza. COGAT said Tuesday that 180 pallets of aid were airdropped into Gaza with help from countries including Jordan, the United Arab Emirates and France. The U.N. and partners have called airdrops expensive, inefficient and even dangerous for people on the ground. A ship carrying 1,200 tons of food left Cyprus on Tuesday for the Israeli port of Ashdod loaded with pasta, rice, baby food and canned goods that were pre-screened in Cyprus.

Senior mediator spells out Gaza ceasefire proposal agreed to by Hamas, Israel yet to respond
NEW ADMINISTRATIVE CAPITAL, Egypt — There was a muted response from Israel after Hamas said it had agreed to the latest proposal from Arab mediators for a ceasefire in Gaza and to free the remaining hostages. Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty told NBC News Tuesday that the deal was based on a proposal by President Donald Trump's Middle East envoy, Steve Witkoff, for a 60-day ceasefire, during which some of the remaining 50 hostages would be released and the sides would negotiate a lasting ceasefire and the return of the rest. He added that the proposals would allow for 'the flow of humanitarian and medical aid into Gaza as soon as possible to address the ongoing starvation there.' 'The ball is now in Israel's court. We would like a positive response from them as soon as possible in order to deal with the disastrous situation in Gaza, especially the starvation and the killing of civilians,' he said. 'Even if it is only a 60-day truce, it provides a window of opportunity. We must apply maximum pressure on both sides to move forward,' he added. Hamas said in a statement Monday that the militant group and other Palestinian factions had approved the proposals which were put forward by Egyptian and Qatari mediators. Asked about that announcement, a spokesperson for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office shared a statement he made on Monday, suggesting a determinedness to push ahead a military campaign to assume full control of Gaza City in the north of the enclave. They also noted that Hamas appeared to be 'under immense pressure.' His office did not respond when asked for a further response about the proposals. Netanyahu's ultranationalist Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich condemned the development in a statement Monday. 'We fight only to win! In no way to stop in the middle, with a partial deal that will abandon half of the hostages and could lead to the war being stopped in defeat,' he said. And President Donald Trump also appeared to dampen hopes for a truce, in a post on Truth Social on Monday. 'We will only see the return of the remaining hostages when Hamas is confronted and destroyed!!! The sooner this takes place, the better the chances of success will be,' he wrote. His envoy, Witkoff, pulled out of negotiations less than a month ago, accusing Hamas of not acting in good faith. The proposals came as Palestinians in Gaza continue to grapple with a devastating hunger crisis, with humanitarian groups warning that the aid entering the enclave in recent days will not be enough to curb a rise in deaths from starvation. Israel banned the entry of food, medicine and other vital supplies into Gaza on March 2, in the midst of its ceasefire with Hamas. After lifting the blockade in May, it allowed of trickle of aid in for weeks. But amid an international backlash and accusations of using starvation as a weapon of war, it eventually increased the amount it allowed in. Israel has defended the blockade by saying enough aid is entering the Strip, while accusing Hamas of diverting aid, a charge Hamas and aid groups have denied. An internal U.S. government analysis found no evidence of systematic theft of aid supplies by Hamas. The Israeli military dismissed that report as 'biased.' The Palestinian health ministry in Gaza said on Monday it had recorded three new adult deaths 'due to famine and malnutrition' within a 24-hour period, bringing the total death toll from starvation to 266 people, including 112 children. With entrance by road under restrictions, some countries have carried out air drops, although they are widely considered largely ineffective and dangerous. A ship carrying 1,200 tons of food for Gaza was approaching the Israeli port of Ashdod on Tuesday in a bid to help address the crisis, according to The Associated Press. Israel launched its offensive in Gaza following the Hamas-led Oct. 7, 2023 attacks in which some 1,200 people were killed and around 250 taken hostage, marking a major escalation in a decadeslong conflict. Since then, more than 62,000 people have been killed in Gaza, including thousands of children, according to the Palestinian health ministry in the enclave, while much of the territory has been destroyed.
