Shell initiates quarterly outlook, sees higher Q3 LNG output
Royal Dutch Shell introduced a quarterly outlook, forecasting higher liquefied natural gas output and charges of up to $850 million for the third quarter.
Chief Financial Officer Jessica Uhl said that after discussions with investors, the Anglo-Dutch energy company would release outlooks ahead of quarterly results "to enhance disclosures and increase transparency".
The company reports third-quarter results on Oct. 31.
