Where you fit in

Shell Energy Singapore (SES) is the entity in Shell Trading that runs the LNG import and gas marketing business for Singapore. Under the aggregator licenses granted in 2010, 2017 and 2021, it can import up to 4MTPA of LNG and holds GSAs for the sale of re-gasified LNG to 11 long-term customers including Shell Manufacturing. Collectively, SES holds a market share of ~80% of re-gasified LNG which is also ~30% of the entire gas demand in Singapore.

SES has also offered various other products to the market over the past few years, such as spot gas supply, trading/diversion opportunities, supply of LNG for LNG trucking and bunkering, for gas up and cooldown, and providing gas transportation service via onshore pipeline within Singapore. It delivers re-gasified LNG to customers using terminal facilities operated by Singapore LNG Terminal (SLNG) on a 24/7 basis with hourly nomination flexibility. SLNG has transformed into a multi-user terminal, and this has created challenges in managing our portfolio as well as presenting new opportunities. Going forward, SES aspires to move into the Power space, pulling in New Energies and Own-use requirements into one integrated energy management business.
