Shell plc – Report on Payments to Governments for the year 2024
Basis for preparation – Report on Payments to Governments for the year 2024
This Report provides a consolidated overview of the payments to governments
made by Shell plc and its subsidiary undertakings (hereinafter referred to as
“Shell”) for the year 2024 as required under the UK’s Reports on
Payments to Governments Regulations 2014 (as amended in December 2015). These
UK Regulations enact domestic rules in line with Directive 2013/34/EU (the EU
Accounting Directive (2013)) and apply to large UK incorporated companies like
Shell that are involved in the exploration, prospection, discovery,
development and extraction of minerals, oil, natural gas deposits or other
materials. This Report is also filed with the National Storage Mechanism
(https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism) intended to satisfy
the requirements of the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the
Financial Conduct Authority in the United Kingdom. This Report is also
published pursuant to article 5:25e of the Dutch FMSA (Wft) and is furnished
with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) according to
Section 13(q) under the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
This Report is available for download from www.shell.com/payments.
Legislation
This Report is prepared in accordance with The Reports on Payments to
Governments Regulations 2014 as enacted in the UK in December 2014 and as
amended in December 2015.
Reporting entities
This Report includes payments to governments made by Shell plc and its
subsidiary undertakings (Shell). Payments made by entities where Shell has
joint control are excluded from this Report.
Activities
Payments made by Shell to governments arising from activities involving the
exploration, prospection, discovery, development and extraction of minerals,
oil and natural gas deposits or other materials (extractive activities) are
disclosed in this Report. It excludes payments related to refining, natural
gas liquefaction or gas-to-liquids activities. For a fully integrated project,
which does not have an interim contractual cut-off point where a value can be
attached or ascribed separately to the extractive activities and to other
processing activities, payments to governments are not artificially split but
are disclosed in full.
Government
Government includes any national, regional or local authority of a country,
and includes a department, agency or entity that is a subsidiary of a
government, including a national oil company.
Project
Payments are reported at project level, except those payments that are not
attributable to a specific project which are reported at entity level. Project
is defined as operational activities which are governed by a single contract,
licence, lease, concession or similar legal agreement, and form the basis for
payment liabilities with a government. If such agreements are substantially
interconnected, those agreements are to be treated as a single project.
“Substantially interconnected” means forming a set of operationally and
geographically integrated contracts, licences, leases or concessions or
related agreements with substantially similar terms that are signed with a
government giving rise to payment liabilities. Such agreements can be governed
by a single contract, joint venture, production sharing agreement or other
overarching legal agreement. Indicators of integration include, but are not
limited to, geographic proximity, the use of shared infrastructure and common
operational management.
Payment
The information is reported under the following payment types:
Production entitlements
These are the host government’s share of production in the reporting period
derived from projects operated by Shell. This includes the government’s
share as a sovereign entity or through its participation as an equity or
interest holder in projects within its sovereign jurisdiction (home country).
Production entitlements arising from activities or interests outside of its
home country are excluded.
In certain contractual arrangements, typically a production sharing contract,
a government through its participation interest may contribute funding of
capital and operating expenditure to projects, from which it derives
production entitlement to cover such funding (cost recovery). Such cost
recovery production entitlement is included.
In situations where a government settles Shell’s income tax obligation on
behalf of Shell by utilising its share of production entitlements (typically
under a tax-paid concession), such amount will be deducted from the reported
production entitlement.
Taxes
These are taxes paid by Shell on its income, profits or production (which
include resource severance tax and petroleum resource rent tax), including
those settled by a government on behalf of Shell under a tax-paid concession.
Payments are reported net of refunds. Consumption taxes, personal income
taxes, sales taxes, property and environmental taxes are excluded.
Royalties
These are payments for the rights to extract oil and gas resources, typically
at a set percentage of revenue less any deductions that may be taken.
Dividends
These are dividend payments other than dividends paid to a government as an
ordinary shareholder of an entity unless paid in lieu of production
entitlements or royalties. For the year ended December 31, 2024, there were no
reportable dividend payments to a government.
Bonuses
These are payments for bonuses. These are usually paid upon signing an
agreement or a contract, or when a commercial discovery is declared, or
production has commenced, or production has reached a milestone.
Licence fees, rental fees, entry fees and other considerations for licences
and/or concessions
These are fees and other sums paid as consideration for acquiring a licence
for gaining access to an area where extractive activities are performed.
Administrative government fees that are not specifically related to the
extractive sector, or to access to extractive resources, are excluded. Also
excluded are payments made in return for services provided by a government.
Infrastructure improvements
These are payments which relate to the construction of infrastructure (road,
bridge or rail) not substantially dedicated for the use of extractive
activities. Payments which are a social investment in nature, for example
building of a school or hospital, are excluded.
Other
Operatorship
When Shell makes a payment directly to a government arising from a project,
regardless of whether Shell is the operator, the full amount paid is disclosed
even where Shell as the operator is proportionally reimbursed by its
non-operating venture partners through a partner billing process (cash-call).
When a national oil company is the operator of a project to whom Shell makes a
reportable payment, which is distinguishable in the cash-call, it is included
in this Report.
Cash and in-kind payments
Payments are reported on a cash basis. In-kind payments are converted to an
equivalent cash value based on the most appropriate and relevant valuation
method for each payment, which can be at cost or market value, or such value
as stated in the contract. In-kind payments are reported in both volumes and
the equivalent cash value.
Materiality level
For each payment type, total payments below £86,000 to a government are
excluded from this Report.
Exchange rate
Payments made in currencies other than US dollars are translated for this
Report based on the foreign exchange rate at the relevant quarterly average
rate.
