One of the world’s biggest oil companies plans to cut up to 10% of its workforce. Here are the jobs most at risk.

Shell on Wednesday said it expects to cut up to 9,000 jobs, more than 10% of its workforce. 

The cuts are part of a broader reorganization known as Project Reshape that seeks to transform the European major into an energy business that produces fewer greenhouse-gas emissions. 

Shell will dramatically reduce the number of refineries it operates while focusing on lower-carbon energy sources like biofuel, hydrogen, and wind power. The company will still produce some oil in 2050.
