Its comprehensive business activities are categorized into several key divisions: Integrated Gas, Upstream, Marketing, Chemicals and Products, and Renewables and Energy Solutions. Shell's core operations involve the exploration for and extraction of crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids. Beyond production, the company is deeply involved in the marketing, transportation, and strategic infrastructure development required to deliver these energy resources to consumers.

Shell also operates a substantial trading arm, dealing in commodities such as natural gas, liquefied natural gas (LNG), crude oil, electricity, and carbon emission rights. Its refining capabilities convert crude oil and various feedstocks into a wide range of essential products, including gasoline, diesel, aviation and marine fuels, lubricants, bitumen, and sulfur, while also developing low-carbon fuel alternatives. In the chemical sector, Shell is a significant producer of petrochemicals for industrial use, manufacturing base chemicals like ethylene, propylene, and aromatics, alongside intermediate chemicals such as styrene monomer, propylene oxide, and various solvents. The company also manages oil sands assets. Looking to the future of energy, Shell is actively investing in and developing renewable solutions. This includes generating electricity from wind and solar power, pioneering hydrogen production and sales, and establishing a network of electric vehicle charging services. Furthermore, Shell promotes LNG as a viable fuel source for heavy-duty transportation.
