Chevron reorganizes business structure, reshuffles leadership
Chevron is simplifying its operations through a major restructuring effort that includes laying off up to 20% of its global workforce by the end of 2026. The company's $53 billion acquisition of Hess has been stalled due to an arbitration battle with larger rival Exxon Mobil, and Chevron aims to cut costs of up to $3 billion by leveraging technology, asset sales, and changing work practices. CEO Mike Wirth believes the new organizational structure will improve operational efficiency and position Chevron for sustained growth.

- What implications will this restructuring have on Chevron's ability to navigate the rapidly evolving energy landscape and maintain its competitive edge in the face of growing environmental concerns?
