Shell is vertically integrated and is active in every area of the oil and gas industry, including exploration, production, refining, transport, distribution and marketing, petrochemicals, power generation, and trading. Shell has operations in over 99 countries, produces around 3.7 million barrels of oil equivalent per day and has around 44,000 service stations worldwide. As of 31 December 2019, Shell had total proved reserves of 11.1 billion barrels (1.76×109 m3) of oil equivalent. Shell USA, its principal subsidiary in the United States, is one of its largest businesses. Shell holds 44% of Raízen, a publicly listed joint venture with Cosan, which is the third-largest Brazil-based energy company. In addition to the main Shell brand, the company also owns the Jiffy Lube, Pennzoil and Quaker State brands.
Shell was formed in 1907 through the merger of Royal Dutch Petroleum Company of the Netherlands and The “Shell” Transport and Trading Company of the United Kingdom. The combined company rapidly became the leading competitor of the American Standard Oil and by 1920 Shell was the largest producer of oil in the world. Shell first entered the chemicals industry in 1929. Shell was one of the “Seven Sisters” which dominated the global petroleum industry from the mid-1940s to the mid-1970s. In 1964 Shell was a partner in the world’s first commercial sea transportation of liquefied natural gas (LNG). In 1970 Shell acquired the mining company Billiton, which it subsequently sold in 1994 and now forms part of BHP. In recent decades gas has become an increasingly important part of Shell’s business and Shell acquired BG Group in 2016.
Shell is a constituent of the FTSE 100 Indexand had a market capitalization of £156 billion at the close of trading on 11 February 2024, by far the largest of any company listed on the LSE. Until its unification in 2005 as Royal Dutch Shell plc, the firm operated as a dual-listed company, whereby the British and Dutch companies maintained their legal existence and separate listings but operated as a single-unit partnership. From 2005 to 2024 the company had its headquarters in The Hague, its registered office in London and had two types of shares (A and B). In January 2024, the firm merged the A and B shares, moved its headquarters to London, and changed its name to Shell plc. The Shell logo is known as the “pecten” after the sea shell Pecten maximus; the current version was designed by Raymond Loewy in 1971.
