HIGHLIGHTS

  • Shell has been a leading player in the North Sea for several decades, and is also the operator of the NAM joint venture, the largest hydrocarbon producer in the Netherlands.
  • Production in Europe amounted to about 800 thousand boe/d in 2012, and we invested about $3 billion in 2012 for sustainable production in the future.
  • After-tax earnings from the oil and gas exploration and production operations of our subsidiaries and equity-accounted investments in the region were $4.2 billion.
  • We are participating in the development of the Clair Phase 2 and Schiehallion Redevelopment projects in the UK, and the Corrib project in Ireland. We have increased our stakes in the offshore Beryl, Schiehallion and Draugen fields.
