Shell Trading

The global network of Shell Trading companies encompasses Shell’s trading activities in every major energy market around the world.

Shell is one of the largest and most experienced energy merchants in the world. We can identify and meet a customer’s needs quickly. Our natural positions in energy markets and high equity share of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) give us an unrivalled global position among publically held energy companies.

Shell Trading supports the Shell businesses, in particular Oil Products, Gas and Power and Chemicals, by trading natural gas, electrical power, crude oil, refined products, biofuels, chemical feedstocks, environmental products and freight. We also manage one of the world's largest fleets of LNG carriers and oil tankers and provide maritime expertise to Shell companies and external customers.

Our best resource is the people that work here.

Our global trading network gives us a 24-hour market presence. We are active in most crude oil markets, sourcing from a wide range of suppliers and selling to a wide range of customers both within and outside Shell. The same global coverage applies to refined products and feedstocks, natural gas and power. Our 50 years experience in the natural gas industry makes us one of the world’s most experienced players: our supply portfolio includes access to significant volumes of equity LNG and gas-to-liquids products.
