Shell said it had signed a deal to sell its liquified petroleum gas (LPG) businesses in Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Germany, Romania, Spain, and Switzerland to France’s Rubis.
The sale is part of the Anglo-Dutch oil major’s strategy to streamline its downstream activities. Shell did not give financial details.
“The LPG business is making significant progress in simplifying our portfolio, reducing complexity and operating costs,” Erwin Friederich, vice president for Shell’s global LPG business, said in a statement.
“We are consolidating and building our business where we’re already strong, investing and growing in markets with the highest potential, whilst taking strategic decisions to move out others,” he added.
The deal in Romania is subject to approval of Shell’s existing partners in the country, the company said.

Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
