Royal Dutch Shell is to cut at least another 2,200 jobs, with around 475 of those coming from its UK and Ireland oil and gas production business.
The cuts are mainly due to Shell's takeover of oil and gas exploration firm BG Group and prolonged low oil prices, it said.
Shell has announced more than 10,000 job losses over the past two years.
In February, the firm posted its steepest fall in annual earnings for 13 years.
"Despite the improvements that we have made to our business, current market conditions remain challenging," said Shell UK and Ireland vice president Paul Goodfellow.
"Our integration with BG provides an opportunity to accelerate our performance in this 'lower for longer' environment.
"We need to reduce our cost base, improve production efficiency and have an organisation that best fits our combined portfolio and business plans."
Most of the 475 UK job losses will be from Shell's headquarters in Aberdeen. Some posts offshore and at the energy company's plant at Mossmorran in Fife will also be affected.
