据油价网2021年7月6日报道，据报道，荷兰皇家壳牌公司正计划退出其与同行美国埃克森美孚公司在美国加利福尼亚州的合资企业，以加速其从化石燃料转型。
四位消息人士对路透社表示，富时指数蓝筹股已告知埃克森美孚公司，壳牌公司打算退出旗下Aera 能源公司，壳牌公司持有Aera 能源公司52%的股权。 壳牌公司没有回应置评请求。
如果壳牌公司这样做了，这将是这家英荷石油巨头在不断增加的压力下，在今年做出的一系列撤资中最新的一次撤资。
壳牌公司已经出售了位于华盛顿州和休斯敦的炼油厂，同时也在考虑剥离其在二叠纪盆地页岩探区中的资产。
Aera能源公司是加州最大的石油和天然气生产商之一，雇佣了大约1100名员工。
Aera能源公司日产量约为12.5万桶石油和3200万立方英尺天然气，约占加州油气产量的25%。
出售Aera能源公司将再次表明，壳牌公司坚定地履行其减少运营过程中排放的承诺。
6月份，壳牌公司被一家荷兰法庭训斥，荷兰法庭在世界首个决定中裁定壳牌公司需要加快推进其减排计划。到2030年前，壳牌公司必须在2019年的基础上减排45%，而不是其最初计划的2035年前。
在判决之后，壳牌公司表示将上诉。壳牌公司首席执行官范伯登表示将加快其净零排放计划。 然而，这并不意味着壳牌公司的石油业务就此结束。壳牌公司在全球仍有大量石油项目在实施中。

Shell To Bow Out Of California Joint Venture With Exxon
Shell is reportedly planning to quit its California-based joint venture with fellow oil supermajor ExxonMobil as it looks to accelerate its transition away from fossil fuels.
Four sources told Reuters that the FTSE blue chip had informed Exxon that it intended to exit subsidiary Aera Energy, in which it holds a 52 percent stake. The firm did not respond to a request for comment.
If it does so, it will be the latest in a number of divestments the Anglo-Dutch giant has made this year amid growing pressure to up its climate commitments.
Shell has already sold refineries in Washington State and Houston, and is also mulling getting rid of its assets on shale shelf the Permian Basin.
Aera is one of the Golden State’s biggest oil and gas producers, and employs around 1,100 people.
Aera produces about 125,000 barrels of oil and 32m cubic feet of natural gas each day, accounting for about 25 per cent of the state’s oil and gas production.
A sale would mark yet another sign that Shell is firm in its commitments to reduce the emissions it produces from its operations.
The firm was reprimanded by a Dutch court last month when it ruled that the firm needed to accelerate its emissions reduction plans in a world first decision.
It must now lower emissions by 45 percent by 2030 from 2019 levels, as opposed to by 2035 as it had initially planned.
Following the judgement, which Shell said it would appeal, chief exec Ben van Beurden said that it would accelerate its net-zero plans.
This doesn't mean Shell is done with oil just yet, however. The company still has massive projects ongoing across the globe.
