OUR BUSINESSES AND HIGHLIGHTS
Our strategy
Our strategy seeks to reinforce our position as a leader in the oil and gas industry in order to provide a competitive shareholder return while helping to meet global energy demand in a responsible way.
Key projects
Upstream production is expected to grow to 3.5 million boe/d in 2012 and reach 3.7 million boe/d in 2014, subject to short-term investment decisions, licence extensions and future divestments.
Downstream
Downstream manages Shell’s manufacturing, distribution and marketing activities for oil products and chemicals. These activities are organised into globally managed classes of business, although some are managed regionally or provided through support units.
Alternative energy
The international market for biofuels is growing, driven largely by the introduction of new energy policies in Europe and the USA that call for more renewable, lower-carbon fuels for transport.
Projects & Technology
Projects & Technology manages the delivery of Shell’s major projects and drives the research and innovation to create technology solutions. It provides technical services and technology capability covering both Upstream and Downstream activities.
