Royal Dutch Shell (LON:RDSA) is considering a sale of part or all of its $3-billion Norwegian business, The Sunday Times has revealed. The disposal would come with the Anglo-Dutch oil giant looking to pay down debt amid growing investor pressure, following the acquisition of former smaller London-listed rival BG Group.

Shell’s share price has been little changed in London this morning, having inched 0.28 percent higher to 1,954.50p as of 10:08 GMT. The stock, however, is underperforming the broader market rally, with the benchmark FTSE 100 index having soared 1.15 percent to stand at 6,807.63 points. The shares have added just under a fifth over the past year, and are up by some 28 percent in the year-to-date. read more

Donald Trump’s views on climate change may provide a boost to oil production in the US. He stated in his campaign that the US was being disadvantaged by rules and regulations aimed to prevent (or at least slow down) climate change. This could signal a more positive attitude from the US government towards oil and gas companies over the medium term.

Although there’s no certainty that Trump will follow through on his campaign policies when he becomes President, it seems likely that he’ll be less positive about battling the effects of climate change than Barack Obama. This could be bad news for Shell(LSE: RDSB). read more

Japanese oil refiner Idemitsu Kosan (5019.T) will again delay its planned purchase of Showa Shell Sekiyu (5002.T) shares from Royal Dutch Shell (RDSa.L) because a review by the Japan Fair Trade Commission is still under way.

Idemitsu said in a statement on Monday it will postpone the purchase to either December or January, from its originally planned closure by this month. The delay is another setback for Idemitsu in its attempt to take over Showa Shell, delayed after stiff opposition from Idemitsu’s founding family. read more
