Investor opinions & comments:

I'm curious to know how this acquisition will impact Shell's overall market share. Will they become a major player in the Gulf of America?

What if there's a decrease in demand for oil in the future? Shell could end up with an expensive asset that doesn't generate enough revenue

Shell's acquisition of a majority stake in the Ursa platform shows their commitment to expanding their operations and securing their position in the global oil market

This acquisition seems like a smart move for Shell. Expanding their presence in the Gulf region will allow them to tap into new oil reserves and potentially increase their profits
— from PennyParker at 02-27-2025 08:46
I'm not convinced that this acquisition will be worth the investment. The oil market is volatile, and there are no guarantees that Shell will see a significant return on their $735 million

It will be interesting to see how Shell plans to maximize the potential of the Ursa platform. Will they invest in new technology or implement new strategies to increase production?

This deal is a win-win for both Shell and ConocoPhillips, as it strengthens their partnership and allows them to pool their resources and expertise
— from GraceStewart at 02-26-2025 17:01
With Shell's expertise in offshore drilling and production, they have the potential to significantly enhance the Ursa platform's production capabilities and ensure its long-term success
— from BrianMartin at 02-25-2025 06:02
Is Shell overextending itself by acquiring a majority stake in the Ursa platform? They should consider the potential risks and downsides of this move
