Shell CEO Wael Sawan said on Tuesday the oil major does not have to buy additional assets anytime soon to deliver on its 2030 targets.
In March, Sawan projected a 100,000 to 200,000 barrels-of-oil-equivalent-per-day gap for the company by 2030, but said last week the company has largely covered that near-term shortfall.
Shell needs an acquisition or exploration breakthrough to make up for an expected production shortage of 350,000 to 800,000 boed by 2035, the company and analysts have said.
