The transaction will create the largest independent LNG producer in the world forecast to produce nearly a fifth of global LNG supply in 2017-18. The other major prize for Shell is BG’s Brazilian oil portfolio of mean total reserves and resources amounting to 6 billion boe and gross production expected to peak at 2.6 million boepd.
