Shell also expects upstream oil production to fall quarter-on-quarter in the second quarter due to scheduled maintenance and the completed sale of the Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC) in Nigeria. The company forecasted upstream production to be between 1.66 million to 1.76 million equivalent barrels a day, down from 1.855 million barrels in the first quarter [3].
The company's integrated gas division is expected to report significantly lower trading results than in the first quarter, driven by a volatile global market [2]. Despite these challenges, Shell remains committed to its long-term targets, aiming for a 4% to 5% annual increase in LNG sales over the next five years and a 1% annual production growth [1].
Shell is set to publish its full second-quarter results on July 31, 2025.
