The company manufactures and sells a wide array of products including crude oil, natural gas, liquefied natural gas (LNG), refined petroleum products, lubricants, and chemicals.

The company is a leader in the global energy sector, producing around 3.7 million barrels of oil equivalent per day. Recent strategic shifts include a focused transition towards lower-carbon energy solutions, aiming to reduce operational emissions by 50% by 2030 compared to 2016 levels, with continued investment in renewables and energy transition technologies. In 2024 and 2025, Shell announced leadership restructuring to streamline operations around its three primary business areas: Integrated Gas; Upstream; and Downstream, Renewables and Energy Solutions, while elevating Trading and Supply as an organizational priority.

The company also reallocated wholesale commercial fuels from its Chemicals & Products segment to the Marketing segment, reflecting a strategic emphasis on customer-facing energy solutions. In recent years, Shell expanded its electric vehicle charging network with acquisitions like NewMotion and increased investments in wind farms in the United States and the Netherlands. The company also completed the transition of its Canadian oil sands assets and increased holdings in related upgrading and carbon capture projects.
