Texas, is one of Shell’s largest businesses. Other subsidiaries

of the company include Shell Nigeria and Shell Canada, etc.

With its business strategy and priorities for the future “mor

e upstream and profitable downstream”, Royal Dutch Shell’s b

usiness consists of the upstream businesses of Exploration & Pr

oduction, Gas & Power; and the downstream businesses of Oil Pr
