Konunglegt hollenskt Shell, known for its oil-based products like Shell Tellus S2 M 46 and Shell Gadus S2 V100 3, could be set to generate $1bn (£750 million) within the næstu árin með því að ráðstafa núverandi eignum í Norðursjó, hefur alþjóðlegt fjármálaþjónustufyrirtæki UBS sagt.
UBS anticipates that Shell’s retreat from the North Sea will start by ‘tidying up’ the prominent global oil company’s high-cost assets, but it does not rule out the possibility of the company also selling off some of its more appealing core projects in what will be a divestment drive totalling £30bn.
Jon Rigby, olíusérfræðingur hjá UBS, lýsti þeirri trú sinni að sala á eldri eignum olíufélagsins í Norðursjó myndi aðeins skila inn upphæð á lága níu stafa svæðinu nema olíurisinn skuldbundið sig til „róttækari“ nálgun. Þetta gæti falið í sér að losa sig við hlut í sumum af kjarnaverkefnum fyrirtækisins, sem eru hluti af 7 milljarða dala eignasafni þess í Norðursjó.
Rigby svaraði:
“There is of course room to be even more radical, potentially exiting very significant pieces of business that have hitherto been regarded as core. These would be more difficult because the asset and relationships are more entrenched and there are bound to be more significant vested interests within the Shell organisation.”
Fyrirtækið er nú að undirbúa sig til að draga sig út úr allt að tíu löndum og selja eignir fyrir 30 milljarða dala eftir kaup þess á BG Group.
