Shell's footprint

Shell has been active in Mauritius since 2002. Shell has holding companies in Mauritius, which have investments in India and the Cayman Islands. The Indian oil and gas business was part of the BG Group acquisition in 2016 and is run by BG Exploration and Production India Limited (BGEPIL), an entity established in the Cayman Islands. BGEPIL's production-sharing contract with the Indian government ended in December 2019. BGEPIL is now decommissioning the production facility in India.

Shell Overseas Investment B.V. (SOI B.V.), a wholly owned subsidiary of Shell plc, acquired Solenergi Power Private Limited, Mauritius (SPPL) in 2022 and with it, the Sprng Energy group of companies. Sprng is a leading renewable energy platform in India which develops and manages solar and wind power facilities and infrastructure. SOI B.V. also acquired Daystar Power Group in 2022, which provides renewable power to businesses and consumers across Nigeria and in Mauritius.

Production-sharing contracts or concessions
A production-sharing contract is a contractual arrangement between the holders of a resource, typically a country’s government, and a resource extraction company, concerning how much oil or gas each party would receive. The company bears the mineral and financial risk of the initiative. It explores, develops and, if successful, manages production. Costs are recovered through the sale of oil or gas and what is left over is split depending on the terms of the contract.
