Shell in the UK

Shell is a vital contributor to the UK, supporting energy security, jobs and economic value. We provide energy to fuel homes, hospitals, schools, vehicles, machinery and factories. Our history here dates back over 125 years. A UK-headquartered global energy leader, and leading FTSE multinational, we are active across the country’s energy system.

Shell UK's business priorities

Our strength in the UK lies in our unique integrated footprint, spanning oil and gas, energy trading and mobility and convenience services for our customers. We are working to strongly position Shell for the future by evolving our businesses, in areas such as electric-vehicle charging and through our Shell Equinor incorporated joint venture in the North Sea. We are confident this will provide value for Shell and ensure we continue to play a central role in UK energy today, and through the next decade of the energy transition.

North Sea investment

As an investor, we will unlock the potential of the North Sea by responsibly making the most of oil and gas resources, helping support UK energy security and contributing significant value for Shell. We will build on strong foundations to enhance energy security through North Sea activities, providing we have a predictable and globally competitive investment climate. Our UK gas plants, pipeline systems and import terminals help supply more than 20% of UK's gas supply.
