The transaction is expected to be completed by the end of 2024.

The assets sold by Shell include the 237,000 barrels-per-day refinery and a 1.1 million tonnes-a-year ethylene cracker on Pulau Bukom.

The sale of Shell’s refining facilities to CAPGC, including Singapore’s first oil refinery built in 1961, comes after the London-listed company placed the assets under a strategic review last year to boost its overall profitability and lower its carbon footprint worldwide. Mr Huibert Vigeveno, Shell’s director for its downstream, renewable and energy solutions business, said: “This agreement marks a significant step in Shell’s ongoing efforts to high-grade our chemicals and products business, and is a testament to our commitment to deliver more value with less emissions, as outlined at our capital markets day last year.

Mr Vigeveno said despite the sale of its refining assets, the company will remain committed to its regional hub for marketing and trading businesses in Singapore.
