The British company will have to agree to the most unprofitable deal in its history. Under the pressure of the UK authorities, Shell will sell all its Lukoilu gas stations. Moreover, much cheaper than their market value. What is due to such a irrational decision, and what it threatens the consequences, we will analyze in more detail.

Perhaps you have already heard that the oil and gas giant is going to leave the Russian market. But does he want it himself?

Under the onslaught of the anti-Russian innovations of the EU, the British-Niderland corporation will have to quickly turn off the business. The British fear that Russia will accept a decree on the nationalization of the production of "unfriendly" countries. And this may well happen in the near future. Therefore, the ambassadors of Britain insist that the antimonopoly service of the Russian Federation approve of the deal.

The domestic IT-startup SFERA on the eve of the release opened the collection of applications for registration. Read the details about the project here.

We should not reproach the British with their intention, because the terms of the contract for the sale, of course, into the hands of the “LUKOIL”. 411 Shell gas stations will be sold at least for half their real price without the right to buy off. This also applies to the plant for the production of lubricants in the Torzhok. The transaction will allow the Russian holding to increase the number of gas stations by 30%.

It is worth noting that most of the gas -recovery complexes of the foreign brand are located in territorially profitable points: in large cities and near the largest road tracks. The transaction will significantly increase the profit of Lukoil. The losses of a foreign company, according to their own estimates, will amount to $ 5 billion.

It is amazing that the departure of Shell from Russia does not mean at all that it will refuse Russian oil. The company contrary to the prohibitions of Europe and, despite economic difficulties, acquires black gold.

To get a resource, the concern has to take various manipulations. For example, to overload oil between tankers at sea. According to unconfirmed reports, about 650,000 barrels per day are exported according to this scheme. In this regard, the “gray trading” begins to flourish in the West.

Does it not seem absurd situation when a foreign state forces its leader in the oil industry to sell assets for nothing? Not only does the most powerful manufacturer carry tremendous financial losses, they also want to deprive him of access to cheap and easily accessible energy resources. Their delivery was established for years, and they cannot be completely abandoned.

Tell me, dear readers, do you see any meaning in this decision of the British civil servants? If so, please share them in the comments. Because we, to be honest, did not find him.
