Shell CEO: The company can capture the value of US LNG without investing large amounts of capital

Gelonghui, February 10th｜Shell (SHEL.US) CEO Ben van Beurden stated that in the US liquefied natural gas sector, Shell believes there is no need to use its own capital for large-scale investments, as there is currently sufficient low-cost funding available for infrastructure construction. Instead, Shell is one of the largest offtakers of US liquefied natural gas—which means it purchases large quantities of LNG under long-term contracts, and many customer contract prices are linked to the Henry Hub natural gas price, effectively managing price risk. Weiswean stated at London International Energy Week that this approach allows Shell to capture attractive value in the LNG industry chain without tying up significant capital.
