Chevron cut 575 positions in the Houston area after it completed its $55 billion merger with Hess, a Texas Workforce Commission filing revealed on Wednesday.

Chevron is expected to lay off more than 500 employees in Houston this fall as part of its integration with Hess Corporation, the company confirmed Thursday.

The Houston-based energy giant Chevron will lay off 575 employees from the Downtown Hess Tower following its $53 billion acquisition of Hess Corp ., according to the company.

“As part of the integration, we will consolidate or eliminate some positions. As required by the WARN Act, Chevron has provided notice of a planned workforce reduction to appropriate state and local government representatives for Downtown Houston and North Dakota,” the spokesperson went on to state.

Chevron leaders told Hess employees to stay focused on safe operations and that they will hear next week if they will continue to have jobs following the oil producer's acquisition, according to two Hess employees who spoke with Reuters.
