Oct 26 (Reuters) – ConocoPhillips has informed its staff of a reduction to ​its workforce in Canada, ‌a spokesperson for the oil and gas producer said on Monday.

The reduction includes employees and contractors and is set to ‌take ​place on Tuesday, the ⁠spokesperson added.

However, the ⁠Houston, Texas-based company did not disclose how many jobs were affected.

ConocoPhillips has about 9,900 employees globally, according ​to its 2025 annual report.

“We routinely review our organization to ⁠align with our ⁠long-term strategy, operate safely and ​efficiently, and remain well-positioned for future ​opportunities,” the spokesperson said.

Last year, ConocoPhillips ‌said it would cut 20% to 25% of its workforce as part of a broader restructuring aimed ⁠at streamlining operations and reducing costs following its acquisition of Marathon Oil.

ConocoPhillips said ⁠at the ‌time that most of ⁠the reductions would be ​made ‌before 2025 and expected the ​reorganization to ⁠be completed in 2026.

Shares of the company were up marginally in afternoon trading.
