Summary

  • The new Shell plc CEO, Wael Sawan, has taken a more realistic approach to the energy transition, acknowledging the ongoing need for oil and gas.
  • Shell's focus on gas and deepwater markets, as well as its low breakeven costs, position the company well for future success.
  • Shell's presence in EV charging and potential offshore reserves in Namibia could serve as catalysts for growth.

Introduction

One of the first articles I authored in Seeking Alpha was on Shell plc (NYSE:SHEL, OTCPK:RYDAF). It was a natural for me to cover the company, as I had worked closely with them

And this means working with our customers address the emissions that are produced when they use the energy products that buy from Shell. That effort includes working with broad coalitions of businesses with government

"The reality is, the energy system of today continues to desperately need oil and gas," Sawan said. "And before we are able to let go of that, we need to make sure that we have developed the energy systems of the future - and we are not yet, collectively, moving at the pace (required for) that to happen."
