Shell Malaysia to cut 250 to 300 upstream jobs over two years


Malaysia is a very important country for the Shell Group. The upstream exploration & production continues to be a critical business for Shell, and the upstream business in Malaysia has been identified as one of Shell’s nine core performance units worldwide.

KUALA LUMPUR: Shell Malaysia plans to reduce the workforce in its upstream business by between 250 and 300 workers over two years as the global group implements measures to thrive through the energy transition and become a simpler organisation.

In a recent statement posted on its website, Shell Malaysia said this was part of the global reshaping of Shell as the energy giant focuses on improving efficiency to become a more streamlined, competitive and collaborative organisation in today’s challenging landscape.
