Shell has released its Q1 2025 outlook update, highlighting several operational adjustments across its business segments. LNG liquefaction volumes are expected to decrease to 6.4-6.8 MT from Q4'24's 7.1 MT due to weather impacts and unplanned maintenance in Australia. The Integrated Gas production is projected at 910-950 kboe/d.
Upstream production is forecasted at 1,790-1,890 kboe/d, with the outlook reflecting the completion of the SPDC divestment in March 2025. In Chemicals and Products, refinery utilization is expected to improve to 83-87% from 76%, while chemicals utilization is projected at 79-83%. The indicative refining margin has increased to $6.2/bbl from $5.5/bbl, though chemicals margin decreased to $126/tonne from $138/tonne.
Trading & Optimization results in Q1'25 are expected to be significantly higher than Q4'24 in the Chemicals and Products segment. The company's net debt will increase by approximately $1.5 billion due to loan facilities related to the SPDC sale and Pavilion acquisition lease additions.
