Shell considering selling its Iraq oil assets

 Commodity Picks

LONDON: Royal Dutch Shell is thinking about offering out of its oil fields in Iraq as a major aspect of its worldwide $30 billion resource transfer program, industry sources said on Monday.

Shell is trying to thin down its boundless oil and gas portfolio taking after the $54 billion securing of BG Group in February, which changed it into the world's top melted common gas broker.

With oil costs having drooped since 2014 the organization needs to concentrate on business regions with the most astounding returns, for example, LNG and deepwater oil generation in Brazil and the Gulf of Mexico.

A representative for Shell in London declined to remark.

The Anglo-Dutch organization, which has been available in Iraq for over a century, has discovered just restricted money related advantages as of late from its inclusion in Iraq's oil generation, where it is paid in unrefined petroleum yet has constrained say on creation technique, the sources said.

Be that as it may, Shell keeps on observing worth in building up its gas business in Iraq and is not keen on offering those interests, the sources said. Iraq represented around 4.4% of Shell's aggregate oil and gas generation in 2015, as per its 2015 yearly report.
