Oil firms mum on Permian workforce cuts
Pennzoil plans an 8 percent companywide cutback with only about 40 of 7,500 international workers in the Permian Basin. District production manager Paul Bruce says details won’t be known for months and early retirement is offered to workers 55+. Western Company refuses to disclose local layoff counts, noting they have laid off in the Permian but won’t provide numbers. The firm suspended $400 million of debt payments and seeks creditor restructuring of about $582 million as oil slump bites.
