ChevronTexaco to cut 95 jobs in Basin sale of assets planned
ChevronTexaco will shed 95 Permian Basin jobs and sell over 1 billion dollars of oil and gas properties including most of its northern Ector County interests. The move comes as the company consolidates Permian Basin and Mid-continent units after the Chevron Texaco merger. It plans to invest 150 million dollars in Permian drilling this and next year while selling 1.1 billion in non-core North American assets to XTO Energy of Fort Worth. Jim Barnum, Midland based general manager, leads a unit spanning Wyoming to the Rio Grande.
