Chevron (NYSE: CVX) to Minimize Refining Business

Chevron Corp. (NYSE: CVX) reported Tuesday that the oil conglomerate plans to minimize its refining business in a move that will cut jobs throughout the company, according to Associated Press.

 

The company has yet to decide how many employees will be downsized or if all of the cuts will be concentrated in the U.S. The company will announce more details about how it plans to reorganize in March.

Chevron, the second-largest U.S. oil company, has warned its investors to expect smaller profits in the fourth quarter, primarily because of its refining business.

 

According to an interim report released earlier this month, Chevron said fourth-quarter profit margins were about 39 percent lower than last year for its Gulf Coast refineries. They were 59 percent lower in Singapore and 45 percent lower in Europe.

 

Chevron shares rose 45 cents at $79.68 at Tuesday’s close.
