Shell plc SHEL

SHEL Company Overview

Shell plc is a global energy and petrochemical company headquartered in London, United Kingdom, operating across the oil, natural gas, liquefied natural gas (LNG), fuels, chemicals, lubricants, power, and renewable energy industries. The company generates revenue primarily through the exploration and production of hydrocarbons, integrated gas operations, refining and trading activities, retail fuel sales, chemicals manufacturing, and energy marketing. Shell serves a broad customer base that includes governments, industrial firms, airlines, shipping companies, utilities, commercial customers, and retail consumers through one of the world’s largest fuel station networks.

Shell traces its origins to the 1907 merger of Royal Dutch Petroleum and The Shell Transport and Trading Company. The company historically expanded through global upstream oil development and downstream refining infrastructure, later building a major LNG franchise and large-scale energy trading operation. In 2022, the company simplified its share structure and unified under the single parent entity Shell plc following earlier corporate restructuring. Shell’s strategic positioning is supported by its integrated value chain, large LNG portfolio, global trading capabilities, recognized retail brand, and extensive infrastructure across major energy markets.
