Powering Everybody Forward

The future of energy is happening now, from the importance of energy security, innovation, and customer choice to power our lives and keep the country moving. Shell is helping provide reliable energy for Americans - from producing oil and gas in the Gulf of America, to chartering the largest US built and flagged LNG bunkering barge in the United States, to delivering low carbon fuels. From the East Coast, to the West Coast, to the Gulf Coast – America has the energy to move everybody forward.
