Shell UAE

Shell is a British multinational energy company with a long history in the UAE. It has been involved in the country's energy sector through partnerships with ADNOC, as well as through its trading, lubricants and technology businesses.

Gas has been an important area of cooperation. Shell has taken part in projects connected to Abu Dhabi's gas processing and sour gas development, which involves treating gas that contains high levels of hydrogen sulphide.

Shell's lubricants business supplies engine oils and industrial lubricants in the region, used by motorists, fleet operators and industry.

The company's trading operations buy and sell crude oil, refined products and liquefied natural gas, and the Gulf is an important region for these flows.

Shell has also been involved in lower-carbon initiatives, such as carbon capture, hydrogen and research partnerships, as the energy industry shifts towards cleaner sources.

The UAE remains a major energy producer, and long-term relationships with international companies like Shell help bring technology and access to global markets.

Shell is a British company rather than a UAE startup, and Startups UAE lists its UAE operations among the country's energy companies.
