LONDON, Feb 2 (Reuters) - Royal Dutch Shell andAnadarko Petroleum are renegotiating their five-year-oldjoint venture in the Permian shale basin in Texas, Shell ChiefFinancial Officer Simon Henry said on Thursday.
The 50-50 JV in the Delaware basin, which expires this year,will likely see the operatorship of the asset "consolidated in adifferent way", Henry said in an earnings presentation toanalysts.
Henry also said that Shell's position in the Haynesvillebasin to the east of the Permian, which it acquired through itstakeover of BG Group last year, "won't necessarily stay in ourportfolio."
The Anglo-Dutch oil and gas company is in the midst of a $30billion global asset disposal programme and has previously saidit has put up for sale two assets in its U.S. shaleportfolio.
Shell plans to make its shale operations in North Americaand Argentina a major production growth engine in the 2020s.
On Thursday it said it plans to grow its production in thePermian and Fox Creek basin in Canada by some 140,000 barrelsper day of oil equivalent in the near-term.
Oil majors including Exxon Mobil and Statoil have significantly increased their stakes in U.S. shalein recent months as they seek to profit from the relativelyshort time and low spending it takes to ramp up production. (Reporting by Ron Bousso and Karolin Schaps; Editing by AdrianCroft)
