(Alliance News) - Royal Dutch Shell PLC is reviewing its holdings in the largest US oil field for a potential sale, Reuters reported on Sunday, citing people familiar with the matter.
The move is part of the oil major's shift away from fossil fuels as it faces growing pressure to slash carbon emissions, according to Reuters.
Reuters said the sale could be for part or all of Shell's position in the US Permian Basin, located mostly in Texas, which accounted for around 6% of the Anglo-Dutch company's total oil and gas output last year. The holdings could be worth more than USD10 billion, the people said.
