Shell is expected to make some of the biggest announcements, as it tries to create a leaner structure following the $70 billion acquisition of BG Group.
In fact, The Hague-based group will look to liquidate $30 billion worth of assets once the megadeal is finalized. Shell is already believed to have sold properties worth around $20 billion during the 2014-2015 timeframe. It’s part of the company’s efforts to strengthen its financial position and earn considerable cash flow for the shareholders in the years to come. Toward this goal, Shell has also announced plans to cut 6,500 jobs (or 7% of its global workforce).
