That includes closing offices in Von Ormy and Pleasanton, according to a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act letter sent to the Texas Workforce Commission. About 188 jobs are expected to be cut in mid-January, the majority of which are in the Pleasanton office just south of San Antonio.
The oil field logistics company did not explain in its notice why it decided to close the South Texas operations. The company “periodically reviews and updates its business plans to match our resources with activity demands,” Cassandra Klekar, North America communications manager for Schlumberger, wrote in a recent email.
Product & Logistics Services was founded in 2016 and has more than 500 truck drivers, according to its website. In addition to the South Texas offices and its Sugar Land headquarters, the company also lists locations in West Texas, Wyoming and North Dakota.
Another oilfield services business with local operations cut back this year as well. Houston-based Baker Hughes, A GE Company, informed the Texas Workforce Commission in July that it planned to close its Schertz facility just outside of San Antonio, cutting 266 jobs by the end of the year. The affected jobs were part of BHGE’s Turbomachinery & Process Solutions Gas Processing division.
Schlumberger, the parent company of Product & Logistics Services, and BHGE are two of the largest oil field services companies worldwide. Schlumberger has principal offices in Houston, Paris, London and the Hague.
