Shell’s fuel marketing and refining businesses account for most of its sales revenue. Drivers buy fuel through its Shell-branded retail network, while transport and industrial businesses buy commercial fuels and lubricants. Its refineries turn crude oil into products such as gasoline, diesel and aviation fuel, and its chemical plants supply industrial customers. Shell connects these businesses through trading, shipping, storage and distribution, using both its own production and supplies bought from others.
Shell also extracts crude oil and natural gas. It chills gas into liquid for shipment as liquefied natural gas (LNG), then sells cargoes from its own production and third-party purchases. Customers buy under long-term contracts or purchase individual cargoes; Shell can redirect shipments or buy additional supplies to meet their needs. It also sells electricity and pipeline gas to business and residential customers and operates renewable generation and lower-carbon energy businesses.
What Shell earns depends on oil, gas and LNG prices, production volumes, and the margins it makes from refining, chemicals, fuel sales and trading. Sustaining production requires replacing reserves as fields decline. Its operations also face emissions limits and carbon-pricing rules, while fuel-supply regulations can require biofuel blending or the purchase of compliance certificates.
The risk section is the longest, dullest part of the filing. This keeps only what can really hurt you: where it hits, how hard, when it plays out.
Every company claims an edge. Each one is checked against hard numbers like margins and returns: which hold, and which line gives way first.
TotalEnergies shares Shell’s exposure to oil and LNG prices and refining margins, competing to sell oil, gas, fuels, chemicals and power. Watch its LNG earnings and how quickly fuel selling prices adjust to crude costs: those also matter to Shell’s gas and refining businesses.
BP competes with Shell from producing and trading oil and gas to refining crude and selling fuel to motorists, so oil prices and transport-fuel demand matter to both. Changes in BP’s branded fuel network and supply agreements are worth watching alongside Shell’s filling-station business.
ExxonMobil and Shell face the same oil-and-gas price swings and compete worldwide to sell refined fuels, petrochemicals and specialty products. Its fuel and chemical results provide a comparison for Shell’s refineries and chemical plants, rather than just its oil production.
Chevron competes with Shell worldwide in producing oil and gas and selling LNG, refined fuels, lubricants and petrochemicals, linking both to oil prices, LNG demand and refining margins. Its gas processing and LNG transport business is a useful comparison for Shell’s business of bringing gas to buyers.
Eni shares Shell’s exposure to oil and gas prices and LNG demand: both produce and sell oil, gas and LNG and make fuels and chemicals for buyers worldwide. Watch Eni’s oil-and-gas production costs and project development, where it says competition for rights and rising supplier costs can constrain returns.
Woodside and Shell both sell LNG, pipeline gas and crude oil and have substantial Australian gas operations, making Woodside a close comparison for Shell’s gas exposure. Watch its LNG sales revenue separately from crude oil and condensate revenue to distinguish the gas market from the oil market.
ConocoPhillips competes with Shell to supply crude oil, natural gas and LNG to commodity buyers worldwide, so market prices reach both companies’ sales. Watch the prices it actually receives for crude: its contracts adjust market benchmarks for location, quality and transport, distinctions that matter when comparing oil producers.
Equinor competes with Shell for European gas customers and international LNG buyers, tying both to European gas prices and global LNG demand. Watch its gas sales to the UK and mainland Europe, where it delivers Norwegian gas through pipelines on its own behalf and for the Norwegian State.
Petrobras and Shell both have substantial Brazilian offshore oil production, so oil prices and deep-water project performance matter to both. Watch production and costs in Petrobras’s Santos and Campos basins as a regional comparison for Shell’s Brazilian production, which contributed higher-margin volumes in 2025.
Occidental and Shell produce oil and gas in the Gulf of America and the Middle East, exposing their production earnings to similar prices and operating conditions. Occidental’s oil and gas sales volumes help separate changes in output from price swings when comparing its results with Shell’s.
Canadian Natural and Shell earn substantial revenue by producing and selling crude oil and natural gas, making oil-and-gas prices a shared earnings driver. Read Canadian Natural’s results by product: its mix of oil-sands output, heavy crude and gas differs from Shell’s, which no longer had oil-sands activities after its November 2025 swap.
Cenovus and Shell both produce oil, refine it and sell transport fuels, so crude prices and gasoline, diesel and jet-fuel margins affect both. Watch Cenovus’s crude sales separately from gasoline and distillates—diesel and jet fuel—to see which side of the business is changing.
Suncor and Shell combine production, refining and fuel sales, sharing exposure to crude prices and refining margins while selling refinery feedstocks and finished fuels. Suncor’s sales of upgraded crude and bitumen to refineries in North America and Asia offer a feedstock-market comparison, not a match for Shell’s production mix: Shell exited oil-sands activities in November 2025.
ENI S.p.A. earningsE
Eni’s report will show whether production costs and project development are squeezing returns for oil and gas producers, a pressure Shell’s oil and gas businesses also face.
Read Eni’s oil-and-gas production costs alongside its project development. Controlled costs and progress on projects would show producers can still turn resources into economic output; rising costs or stalled development would show supplier bills and project demands are squeezing the economics of oil and gas production, a pressure Shell also faces.
Equinor ASA earningsEQNR
Equinor’s report will show how its gas sales to the UK and mainland Europe are changing, offering a read on the market where Shell competes for gas customers.
Watch Equinor’s gas sales to the UK and mainland Europe. Steady or rising sales would indicate that these markets continue to take pipeline gas, supporting the case for demand in markets Shell serves; falling sales would point to weaker demand or tougher competition, but would not establish Shell’s own sales.
Shell plc earningsThis company
Shell’s report will show how much earnings and cash its gas, oil production and customer-facing businesses generate to fund investment and shareholder returns.
Read Adjusted Earnings for Integrated Gas, Upstream and Marketing alongside cash flow from operating activities. If earnings strengthen across those businesses and cash flow holds up, Shell is turning production and sales into cash for investment and distributions; weaker earnings or cash flow means that support is thinning.
TotalEnergies SE earningsTTE
TotalEnergies’ report will show its LNG earnings and how fuel selling prices adjust to crude costs, a comparison for Shell’s gas and refining businesses.
Read TotalEnergies’ LNG earnings alongside how its fuel selling prices adjust to crude costs. Stronger LNG earnings and fuel prices keeping pace with crude would suggest firmer returns along both paths; weaker LNG earnings or fuel prices lagging crude would signal pressure that could also touch Shell’s gas and refining businesses, without proving the companies’ results are the same.
BP p.l.c. earningsBP
BP’s report will show how its branded fuel network and supply agreements are changing, a read on competition for customers at Shell’s filling stations.
Watch changes in BP’s branded fuel network and how its supply agreements support that network. A stable or expanding network would show BP remains in the contest for motorists, keeping pressure on Shell’s filling stations; a shrinking network or weaker supply arrangements could ease that pressure, but would not show how Shell’s own customer traffic changed.
