Shell Says It Will Sell More Assets, Increase Capital Spending

Bloomberg: Shell Says It Will Sell More Assets, Increase Capital Spending

“The company settled investigations with the SEC and the U.K.’s Financial Services Authority in July. Probes by the U.S. Justice Department, the Dutch securities regulator and the Euronext stock exchange are continuing.”

Sept. 22 (Bloomberg) — Royal Dutch/Shell Group, the world’s third-largest publicly traded oil company, said it plans to sell $10 billion to $12 billion of assets in the next two years to improve profitability while it raises capital spending.

The oil and gas division of Shell, based in London and The Hague, is targeting $5 billion of divestments, dilutions and other transactions during that time, the company said in a statement on PR Newswire.

Shell Chairman Jeroen Van der Veer, 56, wants to restore investor confidence after the company disclosed in January it had wrongly accounted for a fifth of its oil reserves. That led to the ouster of his predecessor and two other top executives and $150 million in fines from U.S. and U.K. regulators. read more
