British oil major BP plans to cut around 700 employees in non-field roles, according to an internal email confirmed by Reuters. The cuts are expected to affect about 8% of the 8,500 non-field staff who make up the production and operations business, with no major changes anticipated for field-based roles. BP is scaling back renewable energy investments and streamlining operations to reduce debt and refocus on its oil and gas business. A spokesperson said the company is building a simpler, stronger, and more valuable BP, but did not comment on the number of job cuts. According to its annual report, BP had 93,700 employees as of 2025, with operations in 61 countries.
