Shell’s Decision to Stop Purchasing Oil from Russia Comes After TotalEnergies CEO Patrick Pouyanne Said That His Company’s Traders Have Not Received Russian Oil Since the Start of the Invasion of Ukraine. Pouyanne Stated That TotalEnergies Is Not Facing Pressure from European Countries to Reject Russian Gas, While Also Noting That the Russian Gas Producer Novatek – in Which His Company Holds a 19.4% Stake – Is Not Under Sanctions.

Shell Stated That It Will Fully Withdraw from Its Involvement in Crude Oil, Refined Products, Gas, and LNG “Incrementally”, According to New Guidelines from Western Governments. In Addition to the Immediate Suspension of Oil Purchases from Russia in the Spot Market, the Company Stated That It Will Not Renew Futures Contracts. Shell Took 2.18 Million Tons (44,000 b/d) of Maritime Urals Last Year and Was Scheduled to Take 100,000 Tons/Month (24,000 b/d) of Urals Through the Druzhba Pipeline to the Schwedt Refinery in Germany This Year, According to Argus Data.

Shell Says It Will Withdraw from the Russian Oil and Gas Market

The Company Is Changing Its Supply Chain for Oil and Gas to Remove Volumes from Russia. “We Will Do This as Quickly as Possible, but the Physical Location and Availability of Alternatives Mean That This May Take Weeks to Complete and Will Result in Lower Yields at Some of Our Refineries”, Said van Beurden.

Van Beurden Emphasized That Shell’s Gradual Withdrawal from Russian Petroleum Products, Pipeline Gas, and LNG Will Be “a Complex Challenge” That Will Require “Joint Action from Governments, Energy Suppliers, and Customers”. Shell Is Also Closing Its Gas Stations in Russia, Along with Its Aviation Fuels and Lubricants Operations in the Country.

“Our Actions So Far Have Been Guided by Ongoing Discussions with Governments About the Need to Separate Society from Russian Energy Flows While Maintaining Energy Supply”, Said van Beurden.

“Today’s Threats to Disrupt Pipeline Flows to Europe Further Illustrate the Difficult Choices and Possible Consequences We Face in Trying to Do This.”
