Shell’s Oil Bet Just Won a Fresh Investor Test as Qatar Deal Extends Reach

Shell’s Oil Bet Just Won a Fresh Investor Test as Qatar Deal Extends Reach

Shell shareholders handed Chief Executive Wael Sawan a strong vote of confidence on Tuesday, rejecting a climate activist resolution by 86.99% to 13.01% and reappointing him with 98.86% support, Shell’s annual meeting results showed. Chairman Andrew Mackenzie won 94.08%, leaving the board with a clear mandate to keep pressing its oil-and-gas-heavy strategy. The timing matters. Brent crude fell $2.97 to $108.31 a barrel on Wednesday after comments from U.S. President Donald Trump pointed to a possible easing of the Iran conflict, but the price remained high enough to keep investors focused on cash generation at the large oil producers.

Shell Shares Jumped While the FTSE Fell — Monday May Be the Real Test

Shell Plc heads into the new week with momentum after its London shares rose on Friday even as the wider UK market sold off.

Shell Plc’s $15 Billion LNG Canada Stake Fight Puts Its Canada Bet in Focus

According to Reuters, citing three sources, Apollo Global Management, Blackstone, and KKR are all in the running for a large stake in Shell Plc’s LNG Canada project, a deal that could fetch more than $10 billion—and possibly hit $15 billion. Shell, along with all three firms, declined Reuters’ requests for comment. Timing matters here: Shell is looking to put capital back to work as it ramps up in Canadian gas. Just this week, the company struck a $16.4 billion deal for ARC Resources—Shell says it expects the acquisition to tack on 370,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day and boost its compound annual production growth rate to 4% through 2030.
