This combination brings together two world-class portfolios creating a more competitive company. We have acquired productive oil and gas projects across countries including Brazil and Australia and will be able to shape a simpler, leaner company. Together we will focus on our core expertise in deep water and liquefied natural gas (LNG). PICTURES OF A STRONG STRATEGIC FIT Brazil: The Parque das Conchas project in the Campos Basin helps make Shell a leader in deep-water oil and gas exploration and production. BG’s deep-water interests in the Santos Basin and Barreirinhas Basin complement these fields. Australia: BG’s Queensland Curtis LNG project will help strengthen Shell’s position as a major supplier of liquefied natural gas, the cleanest-burning hydrocarbon, to energy-hungry countries. Australia: Shell is constructing Prelude, the world’s largest floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) project, to operate off the coast of Western Australia, where it will help unlock resources of natural gas offshore. (Image: digital impression of Prelude FLNG) Trinidad and Tobago: A BG platform in the Southern Caribbean sends gas to one of the largest LNG facilities in the world, operated by the Atlantic LNG joint venture, with stakes held by Shell and formerly BG.
