The transaction has an effective date of October 1, 2021 and is expected to close in 4Q22.
Zoe Yujnovich, Shell’s Upstream Director said: “This decision supports our strategy to create a resilient and competitive Upstream portfolio by focusing on positions with high growth potential and a strong integrated value chain.”
Headquartered in Bakersfield, California, Aera Energy LLC is operated as an independent company.
While this transaction will end Shell’s Upstream position in California, Shell will remain active in the state through a variety of other assets and projects.
