Report summary
Shell has been active in Nigeria since the 1930s. It’s no exaggeration to say that Nigeria helped transform the company into the supermajor IOC we know today. Now, 63 years after producing its first barrel in Nigeria, it plans to divest all of its operated JV licences held by the Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC). This includes a 30% interest in 19 Oil Mining Leases (OMLs)1. This is a radical step which would have seemed unlikely only 12 months ago, but is highly symbolic of what the Energy Transition means for IOCs in Africa. We analyse the decision to sell, what's available, what will drive value and what it means for Shell's future in Nigeria.
