SAN RAMON, Calif. - Chevron Corp. said yesterday it will cut 2,000 jobs this year and sell some overseas operations as it revamps refinery, marketing, and transportation operations.

The job cuts represent just over 3 percent of its overall work force. Executives of the U.S. oil producer are still deciding where and when they will eliminate the jobs, a spokesman said.
