Noble Energy Inc. is eliminating 45 positions in the Marcellus Shale region and 180 jobs companywide, the firm announced Tuesday.

It did not say how many jobs, if any, have been affected at its Pittsburgh regional headquarters in Southpointe.

Spokeswoman Reba Reid said in a statement the Houston-based gas and oil developer will “continue to focus capital allocation on activities that best deliver overall returns and value.”

She said the cuts are mostly in the United States and that affected employees were notified Tuesday.

Noble cut about 10 percent of its U.S. workforce of 2,200 in April.
