Royal Dutch Shell will axe thousands more jobs as it grapples with the deepest downturn in oil demand for almost three decades.
The oil giant’s new chief executive Peter Voser struck a resoundingly grim tone as he unveiled a 70 per cent crash in secondquarter profits to £1.4billion.
He will hack capital spending by 10 per cent and push through ‘substantial’ cuts to the firm’s 102,000-strong workforce.

The scallop, a generally sedentary mollusc, is given to moments of panic when it flaps around like the wind-up false teeth sold in joke shops. A similar spasm is agitating managers at Royal Dutch Shell, which has the shellfish as its emblem. Incoming chief executive Peter Voser told an analysts meeting on Thursday: We have too many people doing business with each other and not with the outside world. One-fifth of senior executives have already gone.

PETER VOSER: "We are stripping away layers and overlaps that are of no value," he said as he announced half-year results yesterday before going on to accuse staff at the organisation of talking too much amongst themselves and not enough to the outside world.
