  • Downstream

Shell has been active in Denmark since 1913 and has an office in Copenhagen. In July 2019, Shell Overseas Holdings Limited, the UK shareholder of Shell Olie-og Gasudvinding Danmark B.V. (SOGU), completed the sale of its interest in SOGU to Norwegian Energy Company ASA (Noreco) for $1.9 billion. The transaction also included SOGU’s subsidiary Shell Olie-og Gasudvinding Danmark Pipelines ApS, which holds an interest in the pipeline that transports gas from the Danish continental shelf to the European continent. A share purchase agreement for the sale of the entity A/S Dansk Shell including the refining business and local trading activities was signed in January 2021 with PL ESG Denmark Co APS (Postlane Partners) and the transaction was completed in 2021.
