BP's upstream operations are made up primarily of its of exploration and production activities for oil and gas, and employs people in at least half a dozen U.S. states, including Texas, Alaska, Colorado, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Wyoming.
"This is part of a move being announced at a number of our offices today," the company said in the statement.
The London-based company declined to comment on how many of the cuts might impact its 17,000 U.S. staff.

Trudeau announces $20M for new cell regeneration research facility - chairman - 01-13-2016
The federal government will contribute $20 million for a new centre being billed as an international hub for stem-cell therapy in Toronto, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced today.
The money will go to the Centre of Commercialization of Regenerative Medicine (CCRM) to establish and create a new Centre for Advanced Therapeutic Cell Technologies.
The facility will be the first to use a collaborative approach between publicly funded research institutions and the private sector.
"We must do more to prevent and treat disease in this country," said Trudeau, who described regenerative medicine as "the future," and a branch of medicine that "Canada and Ontario are quite good at."
A news release from the Prime Minister's Office says regenerative medicine has shown promise in treating and preventing diseases, including using stem cells to repair and replace cells damaged by cancer, heart conditions and other medical disorders.
"We're going to be saving people's lives with this centre," MP Chrystia Freeland, Canada's international trade minister, said Wednesday.
