Extraction lays off 62 workers
DENVER — Extraction Oil and Gas Inc. (Nasdaq: XOG), a Denver-based firm with operations in Weld County, will lay off 62 workers, according to a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act notice submitted to the Colorado Department of Employment and Labor.
WARN notices are generally required when a company with more than 100 employees has a mass layoff or closes.
The 62 laid off employees worked at a site in Windsor, the WARN filing said.

WomenGive, a program of United Way of Larimer County, was started in Larimer County in 2006 as an opportunity for women in our community to come together to help other women.
Typically, companies must notify employees and regulators 60 days before a WARN event, but Extraction failed to do that, citing “unforeseeable business circumstances” and “natural disaster” exemptions.
“The dual factors of the spread of COVID-19 and the recent price war between Saudi Arabia and Russia have had, and will continue to have, a drastic impact on the oil and gas market, and therefore the company’s ability to do business,” the WARN filing said.
Extraction had a similarly sized round of layoffs in February.
