Chevron Corp. will lay off nearly 800 workers at its Midcontinent campus in the Permian Basin, the company’s largest oil-producing region globally, as part of a sweeping operational overhaul.

The cuts, disclosed in a filing with the Texas Workforce Commission, are scheduled to take effect on July 15, 2025. Most of the affected employees are based on the outskirts of Midland, Texas.“Chevron is taking action to simplify our operating model, execute work faster and more effectively,” the company said in a statement.

“This is a difficult decision, and we do not make it lightly.”The move comes as Chevron undergoes one of the biggest restructurings in its modern history.

The company has not yet detailed how the changes will impact its broader U.S. operations, but the layoffs mark a significant shake-up in the Permian Basin, which has been central to Chevron’s production growth strategy.

The company’s filing and comments did not clarify if further layoffs may follow.
