The company announced on Tuesday, October 14, that it has agreed to sell its entire interest in Shell Nigeria Gas Group (SNG) to indigenous energy firm Vaaris Energy Limited and the deal was also announced by Shell Petroleum B.V. and is subject to regulatory approvals, though the financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed. The sale covers Shell Nigeria Gas Holding B.V., which holds all but one of the shares in SNG Limited.
