Shell integrated gas projects that came on-stream over the past few years include Pearl GTL, Pluto LNG Train 1 (Woodside), Qatargas 4 and Sakhalin-2. The Prelude floating LNG project as well as the Greater Western Flank Phase 1, Gorgon, North Rankin 2 and Wheatstone projects are currently under construction and are expected to come on-stream within the next few years.

Shell has also started considering GTL and LNG options to monetise natural gas in North America. These would be projects that involve the entire natural gas value chain and so play very much to Shell’s strengths as an integrated player, but they are still in very early stages of assessment.

Integrated gas earnings are part of the Upstream segment and incorporate LNG (including LNG marketing and trading) and GTL operations. In addition, the associated upstream oil and gas production activities from the projects Sakhalin-2, North West Shelf, Pluto LNG Train 1 (Woodside), Qatargas 4 and Pearl GTL are included in integrated gas earnings, as well as power generation and coal gasification activities. In 2011, integrated gas accounted for around 30% of our Upstream earnings.
