Shell selling up 2.5bn quids worth of assets in the North Sea. Sounds like the downturns caught up with them. 400 jobs transferred to the buyers Chrysaor. I wonder how many staff Shell actually employ over those assets. 400 doesn't really sound like a lot. But on saying that the likes of the Elgin is Total and they will only have interest in that and same as Schiehallion which is BP.
