Our business in Australia is broadly divided into "Upstream" and "Downstream".
The Upstream business finds, develops and supplies liquefied natural gas (LNG), condensates and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) to overseas markets and natural gas to domestic customers in Western Australia.
Shell's Upstream business in Australia is based in Perth and employs more than 300 staff.
Australia is a growth centre for Shell globally. We are developing large gas resources and maintain a substantial exploration portfolio off the coasts of Western Australia and the Northern Territory, as well as having coal seam gas opportunities in Queensland.
Shell Australia's Downstream operations consist of our refining and marketing businesses. The Downstream business manufactures petroleum products, supplying 25% of Australia's petroleum requirements.
We have thousands of customers throughout the country and supply lubricants and chemicals used by Australians on a daily basis. Our reputation rests on bringing these products to market in a timely, reliable and environmentally responsible manner.
Our Downstream businesses consist of several diverse but interlocking segments: manufacturing, supply, logistics, commercial fuels, lubricants, retail, aviation, bitumen, marine and chemicals.
