Shell to post up to $2 billion in impairments in Q2 results

SINGAPORE (ICIS)–Energy major Shell on Friday said that it expects to book $2 billion in post-tax impairments following the sale of its Singapore assets and the suspension of construction at its biofuels plant in the Netherlands.

The sale of the company’s Singapore Energy and Chemicals Park announced in May will result in a non-cash, post-tax impairment of $600 million to $800 million when it publishes its second-quarter results on 1 August, the company said in a statement.

Shell reached an agreement to sell the assets on Singapore’s Pulau Bukom and Jurong Island to CAPGC, a joint venture between Indonesia’s Chandra Asri Capital and global commodities trader Glencore.

The sale is expected to be finalized by the end of 2024.
