Key Takeaways:

Powered by lumidawealth.com

  • Shell reduced its Q1 gas production estimate to 910,000-950,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day, down from 930,000-990,000, due to unplanned maintenance in Australia and other regions.
  • Liquefied natural gas (LNG) liquefaction volumes are now expected to be 6.4-6.8 million metric tons, lower than the previous guidance of 6.6-7.2 million metric tons, impacted by maintenance and cyclones.
  • Upstream production guidance was narrowed to 1.79-1.89 million barrels of oil equivalent per day, compared to the prior range of 1.75-1.95 million.
  • Despite these challenges, Shell expects strong oil trading performance and stable gas trading results, offsetting some of the headwinds.

What Happened?

Shell announced a downward revision to its Q1 gas production and LNG liquefaction guidance due to unplanned maintenance in Australia and weather-related disruptions from cyclones. Gas production is now expected to range between 910,000 and 950,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day, slightly higher than Q4 2024’s 905,000 barrels but below initial estimates.

LNG liquefaction volumes were also revised downward, reflecting the operational challenges. However, Shell noted that oil trading is expected to perform significantly better than in Q4, while gas trading remains stable despite expiring hedge contracts.


Why It Matters?

The updated guidance highlights the operational risks faced by energy companies, particularly in volatile markets and regions prone to weather disruptions. While Shell’s pivot back to oil and gas assets aims to boost shareholder returns and cut costs, the company’s reliance on hydrocarbon production exposes it to maintenance and environmental risks.

Despite the production challenges, Shell’s strong trading performance in oil and gas provides a buffer, demonstrating the resilience of its integrated business model. However, a higher-than-expected tax charge in its upstream business and a projected Q1 corporate adjusted loss of $400-$600 million could weigh on investor sentiment.


What’s Next?

Shell will report its Q1 results on May 2, with investors closely watching for updates on its trading performance and the impact of the revised production guidance on earnings. The company’s recent pivot back to hydrocarbons, along with its cost-cutting measures, will also be under scrutiny as it navigates operational challenges and market pressures.

Analysts expect Shell’s strong trading results to provide some relief, but higher tax charges and production disruptions may lead to modest downgrades in consensus earnings estimates.
