Shell PLC

PSE:SHELL

Shell PLC is a global energy company that explores for and produces oil and natural gas, refines crude oil into fuels, and makes and sells products such as gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, and lubricants. It also trades and ships energy commodities and supplies electricity, natural gas, and charging services in some markets. In simple terms, Shell sits in the middle of the energy supply chain: it finds energy, processes it, moves it, and sells it to end users. Its main customers are drivers, airlines, shipping companies, factories, utilities, and other businesses that need fuel, power, or industrial energy products. Shell also sells through wholesale channels and retail stations, where it earns money from fuel sales, trading activity, and service fees tied to energy supply and delivery. A large part of its business depends on long-lived assets such as wells, refineries, pipelines, terminals, tankers, and retail networks. What makes Shell different is the mix of businesses under one roof. Few companies combine oil and gas production, refining, global trading, and consumer-facing fuel distribution at this scale. That gives Shell a role as both a producer and a middleman in the energy market, helping connect energy sources with the customers who use them every day.
