Net income attributable to Shell plc shareholders declined to&nbsp;$928 million&nbsp;from&nbsp;$4.29&nbsp;billion&nbsp;in the third quarter of 2024.
This decline was due to increased exploration well write-offs, reduced margins in crude and oil products trading and optimization, lower Marketing margins and volumes, decreased LNG trading and optimization margins, lower realized oil prices, and adverse tax impacts.
Adjusted earnings per ADS for the quarter was&nbsp;$1.20,&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">missing the consensus of&nbsp;$1.49</a>.

The program is expected to be completed prior to the&nbsp;first-quarter&nbsp;2025 results announcement, scheduled for May 2, 2025.
Shell plc Chief Executive Officer, Wael Sawan stated, &#8220;2024 was another year of strong financial performance across Shell. Despite the lower earnings this quarter, cash delivery remained solid and we generated free cash flow of $40 billion across the year, higher than 2023, in a lower price environment.&#8221;
&#8221;Our continued focus on simplification helped to deliver over $3 billion in structural cost reductions since 2022, meeting our target ahead of schedule, whilst also making significant progress against all our other financial targets.&#8221;
Guidance: The company expects 2025 cash capital&nbsp;expenditure&nbsp;to be lower than $21 billion in 2024.
For the&nbsp;first quarter, it expects&nbsp;production at Integrated Gas of approximately&nbsp;930 &#8211; 990 thousand boe/d and Upstream of about 1,750 &#8211; 1,950 thousand boe/d.

Shell & CNOOC Greenlight Major Petrochemical Expansion In Southern China

Shell PLC (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHEL#NYSE">SHEL</a>) shares are trading higher on Friday after the company&#8217;s subsidiary, Shell Offshore Inc., started production at the Whale floating production facility <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42900932/chevrons-whale-platform-achieves-first-oil-aiming-for-300000-boeday-by-2026">in the Gulf of Mexico</a>.
The Whale project utilizes a streamlined, cost-effective design modeled after the Vito platform, which launched operations in early 2023.
The development is a joint venture between Shell Offshore, holding a 60% operating stake, and Chevron U.S.A. Inc., which owns the remaining 40%.

The Whale facility is expected to produce up to 100,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day. That includes an estimated 480 million barrels of oil equivalent in recoverable resources.
Whale claims to operate with 30% lower greenhouse gas intensity than Vito.

The company also expects fourth-quarter results in its Integrated Gas division to be significantly lower sequentially, driven by the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/guidance/25/01/42870812/shell-lowers-integrated-gas-production-outlook-shares-slide" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">impact of expiring hedging contracts</a>.

BHP Group Limited (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BHP#NYSE">BHP</a>) faced a class action filed in Australia&#8217;s Federal <a target="_blank" href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/811809/000119312524280788/d839550d6k.htm" rel="noreferrer noopener">Court </a>alleging sexual harassment and sex discrimination.
The claim represents all women who worked at BHP&#8217;s Australian workplaces between November 12, 2003, and March 11, 2024, and were affected by the alleged conduct.
The case is in its early stages, with no specified damages sought. BHP emphasizes its zero-tolerance policy for harassment and prioritizes the safety and well-being of its people.
This claim against BHP follows a recent report from rival Rio Tinto, which revealed an increase in employee reports of attempted sexual assault or rape at its operations over the past two years, despite measures to address such behavior, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.ft.com/content/b09156c9-6e9e-4a9c-ad9a-8a0d7d6ad220" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported </a>Financial Times.
A 2022 Rio Tinto report revealed that 21 women had reported experiencing actual or attempted rape or sexual assault over five years.
According to the report, BHP disclosed in 2021 during a parliamentary inquiry in Western Australia that it had terminated 48 employees for sexual harassment at its &#8220;fly-in, fly-out&#8221; mines since 2019, including six confirmed cases of sexual assault.

BHP Accused of Workplace Harassment and Discrimination in Australia In Class Action Lawsuit

Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>) shares are trading relatively flat in the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/premarket" rel="noreferrer noopener">premarket session on Wednesday.</a>
The company announced today that it renewed its multi-year enterprise agreement with the mining giant Rio Tinto Plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIO#NYSE">RIO</a>), extending the partnership <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/b41933059/palantir-and-rio-tinto-renew-enterprise-contract-and-extend-access-to-palantirs-ai-platform" rel="noreferrer noopener">for an additional four years</a>.
This agreement ensures Rio Tinto&#8217;s continued access to Palantir&#8217;s Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP), further enhancing the company&#8217;s operational efficiency and AI capabilities.
As an early adopter of Palantir Foundry, Rio Tinto has already built a robust digital twin, or &#8220;Ontology,&#8221; which serves as a unified data model for critical operations.

The Ontology enables Rio Tinto to leverage AIP to rapidly develop, test, and deploy AI-driven solutions, addressing challenges in areas like plant operations, geotechnical risk management, and the coordination of unmanned trains.
&#8220;The Foundry Ontology has made our structured data accessible, and AIP is doing the same for our unstructured data while enabling us to attack with pace problems previously deemed too complex,&#8221;&nbsp;said Bold Bataar, Rio Tinto&#8217;s Chief Commercial Officer.
According to&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>, RIO stock has lost over 6% in the past year.

For instance, in Western Australia&#8217;s Pilbara region, Foundry integrates real-time data from hundreds of systems, allowing operators to optimize the routing of 53 driverless trains transporting iron ore. This has led to improved safety and throughput on the rail network.
Meanwhile, in Mongolia&#8217;s Oyu Tolgoi mine, the Ontology provides dynamic risk management for one of the world&#8217;s most challenging mining environments.
Palantir&#8217;s AIP will enhance Rio Tinto&#8217;s ability to manage complex workflows and accelerate innovation across its operations. Both companies expect the AI platform to drive continued improvements in performance, safety, and decision-making in Rio Tinto&#8217;s high-stakes environments.
Ted Mabrey, Palantir&#8217;s Head of Commercial, highlighted the potential of AIP to address Rio Tinto&#8217;s most pressing challenges, including risk identification and asset management, ensuring safe and efficient AI deployment.
PLTR stock has gained over 200% in the past year. Investors can gain exposure to the stock via REX AI Equity Premium Income ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AIPI#NASDAQ">AIPI</a>) and Global X Funds Global X Defense Tech ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHLD#NYSE">SHLD</a>).

Shell Braces For Tropical Storm 35: Prepares Major Gulf Of Mexico Oil Fields For Shut Down

Shell PLC (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHEL#NYSE">SHEL</a>) is reportedly facing claims from Nigerian communities for 505 billion naira ($310 million) in damages.
The communities are alleging that the company violated a court order by agreeing to sell its onshore assets in the Niger Delta, reported Reuters.
Also Read:&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/04/38299595/shell-defends-climate-goals-rejects-shareholder-resolution-as-damaging" rel="noreferrer noopener">Shell Defends Climate Goals, Rejects Shareholder Resolution As Damaging</a>
However, over 1,200 representatives from Ilaje communities in the Niger Delta have petitioned the Federal High Court in Abuja to halt the deal, arguing that Shell is violating a December 2023 ruling that suspended any asset sales until a compensation lawsuit is resolved.
The community has a pending lawsuit against Shell, accusing the company of causing an oil spill that damaged waterways and farms.
In January 2024, the company agreed to sell its Nigerian onshore subsidiary, The Shell Petroleum Development Company of Nigeria Limited (SPDC),<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/36642310" rel="noreferrer noopener"> to Renaissance, a consortium of five companies.</a>
The consideration payable to Shell as part of the transaction is $1.3 billion, and the buyer will make additional cash payments of up to $1.1 billion, mainly related to prior receivables and cash balances in the business.
In the court papers, the community said Shell should be penalised for going ahead with asset sale &#8220;when the plaintiffs and the host of their community members have remained in perpetual suffering over the failure of the defendants to obey the preservative orders of a competent court.&#8221;

Nigerian Communities Seek Compensation From Shell: Report

Shell PLC (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHEL#NYSE">SHEL</a>), along with ENI S.p.A. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/E#NYSE">E</a>), reportedly have spearheaded an initial funding round for Boston-based climate technology start-up Mantel Capture.
Mantel Capture is developing a method to use molten salts to capture carbon dioxide emissions from refineries, factories, and other industrial sites, reported Reuters.
Mantel aims to extract 95% of carbon from smokestack emissions using molten salts.
The company claims this method is particularly cost-effective, leveraging the high temperatures within industrial furnaces and boilers to minimize the additional energy needed compared to other capture technologies.
As per the report, the $30 million secured in the Series A round will enable Mantel to construct a demonstration project at a paper mill capable of capturing 1,800 metric tons of emissions annually—about ten times the half ton per day achieved in their laboratory tests.
The report quoted Mantel CEO Cameron Halliday saying in an interview, &#8220;This is a technology that could radically change the energy industry, but there is still risk to what we&#8217;re doing.&#8221;
Halliday added, &#8220;At a scale of hundreds of thousands to millions of tons, Mantel could theoretically capture carbon at about $30 to $50 a ton, making it economically viable in many countries offering either incentives for carbon capture or taxing emissions, and far below competing systems.&#8221;
As per the report, Hector MacQuarrie, a principal at Shell Ventures, noted that Shell will monitor pilot projects before fully committing to the technology.
However, he also mentioned that this technology could significantly advance carbon capture for industries that are difficult to decarbonize.

Shell Backs Climate Technology Start-up for Emissions Reduction: Report

Talos Energy, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TALO#NYSE">TALO</a>) shares are trading lower on Thursday. The company disclosed that its Ewing Bank 953 well has successfully discovered commercial <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/09/n40726122/talos-energy-announces-new-discovery-and-adds-additional-2024-prospect-in-the-gulf-of-mexico" rel="noreferrer noopener">quantities of oil and natural gas</a>.
Additionally, Talos has agreed to participate in the Sebastian prospect, which is currently being drilled in the Mississippi Canyon Block 387 of the U.S. Gulf of Mexico.
Talos holds a 33.3% working interest, with Walter Oil &amp; Gas Corp. holding 56.7% and Gordy Oil Company 10%.
The EW 953 well has discovered approximately 127 feet of net pay at 19,000 feet TVD, with an estimated gross recoverable potential of 15–25 million barrels of oil equivalent (MMBoe).
Initial production is expected at 8–10 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day (MBoe/d) by mid-2026. The well will be tied back to the South Timbalier 311 Megalodon platform.
Drilling at the Sebastian prospect, started in late August 2024, targets the Upper Miocene K-1 reservoir at about 12,000 feet TVD. It is estimated to hold 9–16 MMBoe, with an initial production rate of 6–10 MBoe/d. Results are expected by the late fourth quarter of 2024.
Talos Interim President and Chief Executive Officer&nbsp;Joe Mills&nbsp;said, &#8220;This discovery follows a series of successful single-well subsea exploitation wells tied back to Talos-owned existing infrastructure, like&nbsp;Venice&nbsp;and Lime Rock, Sunspear, and Claiborne sidetrack.&#8221;
&#8220;Additionally, we were able to include the Sebastian prospect in our second-half 2024 drilling portfolio without requiring updates to our capital expenditures guidance for the year.&#8221;
Last month, Talos Energy announced that Tim Duncan has resigned as President and Chief Executive Officer,&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/08/40653266/why-talos-energy-shares-are-falling-today" rel="noreferrer noopener">effective August 29, 2024</a>.

Talos Energy's Major Offshore Discovery: Oil And Gas Found In Gulf Of Mexico

Shell plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHEL#NYSE">SHEL</a>) shares are trading lower premarket Tuesday. The company inked a 10-year LNG agreement with Turkey&#8217;s Petrol Taşıma AŞ (BOTAŞ).
As per the deal, Shell will supply BOTAŞ with up to 4 billion cubic meters of liquefied natural gas (<a target="_blank" href="https://www.botas.gov.tr/Icerik/botas-and-shell-sign-long-term/1008" rel="noreferrer noopener">LNG</a>) annually from its U.S. and global portfolios, starting in 2027.
The agreement will enable BOTAŞ to broaden its LNG access and leverage its extensive terminal and pipeline infrastructure, aiding Türkiye in diversifying its gas resources and positioning itself as a significant regional gas hub.

Alparslan BAYRAKTAR, the Republic of Türkiye's Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, said, &#8220;Our goal in natural gas, 99% of which we imported until the discovery of Black Sea Gas, is to diversify the supply side and offer natural gas to our citizens and industry in a more competitive and affordable rate. In this context, we have strengthened our infrastructure with international pipelines, LNG terminals and underground storage projects.&#8221;
According to Reuters calculations, Turkey has the flexibility to meet a significant portion of its national gas consumption with liquefied natural gas (LNG) instead of pipeline gas, thanks to a gasification capacity of approximately 0.16 bcm per day.
Notably, Shell&nbsp;is committed to expanding its LNG capacity by 20-30% by 2030 from its 2022 levels, which is in line with its outlined targets <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/06/39372721/shell-secures-major-lng-deal-with-temaseks-pavilion-energy-details" rel="noreferrer noopener">during the 2023 Capital Markets Day</a>.
Last month, Shell USA, Inc. subsidiaries agreed to sell their 100% stake in the Sinco pipeline system and Colex terminal to a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.shell.us/media/2024-media-releases/shell-to-sell-sinco-pipeline-system-and-colex-terminal-to-edgewater-midstream.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">subsidiary</a> of Edgewater Midstream LLC, pending regulatory approval.
Shell stock has gained&nbsp;around&nbsp;16% in the last 12 months. Investors can gain exposure to the stock via&nbsp;Macquarie ETF Trust Macquarie Energy Transition ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PWER#NYSE">PWER</a>)&nbsp;and&nbsp;VanEck Natural Resources ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HAP#NYSE">HAP</a>).

What's Going On With Shell Shares Premarket Tuesday?

Shell plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHEL#NYSE">SHEL</a>) reportedly plans to reduce its oil and gas exploration and development workforce by 20%.
This move follows significant reductions in the renewables and low-carbon businesses, reported Reuters.
As per the report, the proposed 20% reduction is contingent upon consultations with employee representative bodies.
The restructuring of Shell&#8217;s exploration, wells development, and subsurface units will result in hundreds of job cuts globally, with notable impacts on its offices in Houston, The Hague, and, to a lesser extent, Britain.
The report quoted Shell as saying, &#8220;Shell aims to create more value with less emissions by focusing on performance, discipline, and simplification across the business. That includes delivering structural operating cost reductions of $2-3 billion by the end of 2025.&#8221;&nbsp;
Recently, Shell has reduced operations in offshore wind, solar, and hydrogen, and has sold off retail power businesses, refineries, and certain oil and gas production assets, including those in Nigeria.
Shell and&nbsp;PetroChina joint venture, Arrow Energy, recently revealed plans to develop&nbsp;Phase&nbsp;2 of the Surat <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/08/40307821/shell-and-petrochina-to-develop-phase-2-of-surat-gas-project-details" rel="noreferrer noopener">Gas Project in Queensland, Australia</a>.
This month, the company reported second-quarter revenue of $74.46 billion, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/08/40098587/shells-mixed-bag-q2-revenue-beats-expectations-but-profit-and-production-decline-sequentially" rel="noreferrer noopener">beating consensus of $61.33 billion.</a>

Shell's Mixed Bag: Q2 Revenue Beats Expectations, But Profit and Production Decline Sequentially

BHP Group Limited (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BHP#NYSE">BHP</a>) shares are trading lower today. The company and Lundin Mining Corp. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUNMF#OTC">LUNMF</a>) have agreed to jointly acquire all outstanding shares of Filo Corp. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FLMMF#OTC">FLMMF</a>) for a total consideration of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/40026058">about C$4.1 billion, or C$33.00 per Filo share. </a>
The offer represents a 32.2% premium over Filo Corp.&#8217;s 30-day volume-weighted average price on the TSX as of July 11, 2024, the day before transaction rumors surfaced, and a 12.2% premium over the company&#8217;s last closing price on July 29, 2024.
BHP&#8217;s total cash payment for the proposed transaction is projected to be around $2.1 billion.
As part of the Filo acquisition, BHP and Lundin Mining will also purchase 3.48 million common shares of Filo at C$33.00 per share, totaling C$115 million in gross proceeds. This share placement is intended to provide interim financing to Filo.
Upon completion of the acquisition, BHP and Lundin Mining will each hold a 50% stake in Filo Corp. and the FDS project.
Filo shareholders can elect to receive cash, Lundin Mining shares, or a combination of both. BHP will contribute approximately C$1.908 billion ($1.377 billion) in cash, while Lundin Mining will provide around C$859 million in cash and C$1.289 billion in Lundin Mining shares.
BHP and Lundin Mining will also establish a 50/50 joint venture to manage the FDS and Josemaria projects in the Vicuña district of Argentina and Chile. Lundin Mining owns 100% of the Josemaria project.
Additionally, BHP will buy a 50% stake in the Josemaria project from Lundin Mining for around $690 million, subject to adjustments.
The company anticipates closing the deal in the first quarter of 2025, pending satisfaction of all closing conditions.

Mike Henry, BHP&#8217;s&nbsp;Chief Executive Officer, said, &#8220;This transaction aligns with BHP&#8217;s strategy to acquire attractive early-stage copper projects and enter into strategic partnerships with parties where complementary skills and experience can deliver long-term economic and social value.&#8221;
&#8220;The joint venture with Lundin Mining will advance the development of the Vicuña district, which offers the potential to become a major contributor to the economy of Argentina for decades to come. At the same time, by partnering with Lundin Mining, BHP is continuing to invest in the growth of a robust mining sector in Canada.&#8221;&nbsp;

BHP To Unlock South American Copper Riches: Partners With Lundin For Filo Acquisition

The union at BHP Group Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BHP#NYSE">BHP</a>) Escondida mine in Chile, the largest copper mine globally, has reportedly urged its approximately 2,400 members to reject the company&#8217;s final contract offer and prepare for a potential strike.
Union President Patricio Tapia said that workers will cast their votes from Monday to Thursday, reported Reuters.
The union&#8217;s stance on the contract offer had not been previously reported. If the workers reject the deal, a strike could commence immediately, the report added.
However, Chilean law allows either party to request five days of government mediation, extendable by another five days if both parties agree.
Tapia mentioned that if the union members strike, the company would be unable to produce copper since replacement workers are not permitted by law.
The union represents 98.5% of frontline operational workers at Escondida. The report further noted that the last significant strike at the mine occurred in 2017, involving more than 2,300 union members for 44 days, which severely impacted production and increased global copper prices.

Tapia stated, &#8220;We are much better prepared [for a strike] than before. We have a significant strike logistics fund, four times larger than the one from 2017. And we also have credit agreements to meet the basic needs of workers and their families for a long time.&#8221;
For fiscal 2023, BHP reported paying out $8.6 billion in dividends, which would translate to approximately $36,000 for each of Escondida&#8217;s 2,390 workers.
Details on BHP&#8217;s contract offer include a proposed 20 million Chilean peso ($21,044) bonus per worker. BHP stated that its offer would enhance existing benefits and introduce new ones.
The union is also seeking to improve conditions for workers affected by outsourcing and automation, in addition to enhanced health benefits and bonuses.
The ongoing disputes between the union and BHP have often resulted in work stoppages and complaints about worker safety.
Recently, the company reported copper production of 504.9 Kt (+6% Y/Y), led by growth at Escondida (+6% Y/Y), <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/07/39816439/bhp-shares-trade-higher-as-mining-giant-confirms-record-outputs-for-copper-iron-ore" rel="noreferrer noopener">Copper South Australia (+17% Y/Y), and Antamina (+5% Y/Y).</a>
