ARC Resources Acquired by Shell | Energy M&A Deal

Shell has agreed to acquire ARC Resources, a oilfield services business in Canada’s Montney shale basin in British Columbia and Alberta, for $13.6 billion. Shell acquisitions target ARC’s shale gas and liquids production, expanding exposure to long-duration, low-cost, top-quartile low carbon intensity resources in the Montney. ARC Resources acquisition strengthens Shell’s Canadian footprint and resource base through 2030 production growth, supported by basin-level performance. The strategic acquisition is structured as an energy M&A merger acquisition, with Shell expecting double-digit returns and a strategic acquisition rationale focused on delivering more value with less emissions.
