Shell has completed its $68.2billion merger with BG Group which will now be delisted from the London Stock Exchange.
The oil major said it follows the sanction of scheme at a hearing held four days ago and the delivery of the court order to the Registrar of Companies today.
Shell well issued 1,523,804,425 Shell A shares and 3,745,486,731 Shell B shares.
Chief executive Ben Van Beurden said: “This is an important moment for Shell.
“It significantly boosts our reserves and production and will bring a large injection to our cash flow.
“We have acquired productive oil and gas projects in Brazil and Australia and other key countries.
“We will now be able to shape a simpler, leaner, more competitive company, focusing on our core expertise in deep water and LNG.”

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. 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.
