Royal Dutch Shell Plc is reviewing its holdings in the largest oil field in the U.S., a possible sale that could raise as much as $10 billion, according to Reuters.
The potential sale could include all of Shell’s 260,000 acres in the Permian Basin, Reuters reported citing unidentified people familiar with the matter. Shell declined to comment on Reuters’ report.
The oil and gas behemoth is under pressure to accelerate carbon emissions cuts after a Dutch court ruled last month that the company’s climate plans didn’t go far enough. The order to cut emissions faster and more drastically than planned is likely to have far-reaching consequences on the sector.
