Weatherford International Ltd.'s (WFT) Chief Financial Officer
Andrew P. Becnel said Monday that the company has cut 3,000 jobs
and closed more than 20 facilities.
"We are not done, we will continue to identify and execute on
improvements to our cost structure," Becnel said during a
conference call to discuss the company's second quarter
earnings.
Weatherford's second-quarter earnings fell 89%, with results
missing analysts' expectations, as international growth failed to
offset a steep drop in North American demand.
Weatherford provides oilfield products and services.
