UK investors should buy the -B- shares as they are not liable to Dutch tax. The acquisition of BG Group makes strategic sense as annual cost synergies are expected to be around $2.5 bn per year and add 25% to Shell's proven oil and gas reserves and 20% to annual production. The group remains on track for $30bn divestments of lower quality assets as part of their restructuring programme. In a sign of returning confidence, management indicated that they would be investing $25bn in high quality, resilient projects. The company continues to look at high potential exploration acreage including shale and deep water fields. The downstream businesses such as refining and petrol sales at the forecourt do better when oil prices are lower. The group generates as much in earnings from natural gas as it does from conventional oil and is expanding its shale and fracking operations.
