Royal Dutch Shell is a member of the six 'Supermajors.' This means that it belongs to a group of six companies which dominate the global market in the private sector where oil exploration, natural gas and petroleum product marketing companies are concerned.

The company began in 1907 when the Royal Dutch Petroleum Company and The Shell Trading and Transport Company merged. The Dutch company and UK company continued to trade under separate structures, based in Holland and the UK, which was successful for a long time. It enabled them to compete within a larger playing field and secure a position in the global market. In 2004, however, the company moved to a single capital structure when it was revealed that Shell had overstated its oil reserves damaging confidence in this company.

Since 2004 the company has made a successful recovery and currently operates in 140 countries. Its main products and services include oils and shops. However, Shell also has a renewable energy sector concerned with the development of solar, wind and hydrogen power as well as ShellChemicals. Recently the company have branched out into the card business and offer both a credit and Shell fuel card. The Shell fuel card is beneficial and popular with relevant businesses and those who need it for personal use. In 2007 Shell also acquired a majority stake in some gas fields owned by Regal Petroleum demonstrating the company is still growing.

It sells both A and Royal Dutch Shell B shares because of the move to a single capital structure. The Class A shares are slightly higher in price and are derived from the Dutch part of the company.

Shell- a company fully fuelled for the future.
