Overview
Shell is an integrated energy company that aims to meet the world’s growing demand for energy in ways that are economically, environmentally and socially responsible. Shell is a global group of energy and petrochemical companies. Our operations are divided into five businesses: Upstream, Integrated Gas, Unconventional Resources, Downstream, and Projects & Technology.
Upstream spans our worldwide conventional oil and gas businesses. It explores natural gas and crude oil, including in deep water, and produces these by developing onshore and offshore fields.
Integrated Gas cools natural gas to make liquefied natural gas (LNG) for transportation to customers around the world. It also converts natural gas to liquids (GTL). In addition, the business operates the infrastructure needed to deliver oil and gas to market, and it markets and trades crude oil and natural gas (including LNG) in support of the Upstream business.
Unconventional Resources, based in the Americas, produces tight and shale oil and gas. It also extracts bitumen from mined oil sands, which is converted to synthetic crude oil.
Downstream manufactures oil products, biofuels and chemicals, which are then distributed and sold. It also trades Shell’s hydrocarbons and other energy-related products and manages our fleet of natural gas carriers and oil tankers.
Our purpose
We believe that oil and gas will remain a vital part of the global energy mix for many decades to come. Our role is to ensure that we extract and deliver these energy resources profitably and in environmentally and socially responsible ways.
We seek a high standard of performance, maintaining a strong and growing long-term position in the competitive environments in which we operate. We aim to work closely with our customers, partners and policymakers to advance more efficient and sustainable use of energy and natural resources.

Our people
Our people are central to the delivery of our strategy. Working together on some of the most innovative and exciting energy projects in the world, from the world’s deepest offshore oil and gas field to the largest floating liquefied natural gas production facility, we are making an impact on the future of energy.
