ConocoPhillips is offering impacted employees 60 days of advance notice, severance and outplacement assistance, Nuss told Reuters.

Employment end dates are anticipated to occur beginning the week of Dec. 1 of 2025, according to a document sent to employees and seen by Reuters.

ConocoPhillips has not yet determined which individuals will be let go, the document said, adding that the moves will be permanent.

The company has about 13,000 employees globally, meaning between 2,600 and 3,250 employees could be affected.

Employees attended a town hall meeting at the Houston office this morning at 9 a.m. Central Time, hosted by CEO Ryan Lance.

Shares of the third-largest U.S. oil producer edged up 1% to $95.70, having fallen around 4% on Wednesday.
