Downstream oil in brief: Shell's acquisition and the Euro Majors' unique retail strategy in the US
Report summary
Shell has finalised the acquisition of a network of around 200 company-owned service stations in Texas, United States. The Oil Majors divested most of their retail assets in North America during the 2000s, focusing instead on refining, supply and distribution. However, BP’s and Shell’s recent acquisitions mark a shift in that strategy. In this report we examine the background to the transactions and how the Euro Majors see their future roles in the US retail market.
