Shell stock expands LNG Canada capacity to 28 mtpa

Shell stock (ISIN GB00BP6MXD84) was trading at EUR 41.88 at Lang & Schwarz on September 29, 2026 at 2:13 p.m. CEST. The company approved LNG Canada Phase 2 on the same date, adding a major long-term growth project to its Integrated Gas portfolio.
LNG capacity doubles to 28 mtpa
According to Shell on September 29, 2026, Phase 2 will add two processing trains and increase LNG Canada's total production capacity from 14 mtpa to 28 mtpa. Shell owns 40.00 percent of the project and expects to receive nearly 6 mtpa of additional LNG when commercial operations begin in the early 2030s.
The project is designed to use the existing Kitimat site, with additional storage, loading and utility infrastructure. Shell said the investment is expected to generate double-digit returns, linking the expansion to its capital allocation framework rather than treating it as a volume-only project.
Q2 earnings support the expansion
Shell entered the decision with substantial recent financial momentum. In its Q2 2026 results released on July 30, 2026, Shell reported adjusted earnings of USD 9.8 billion and operating cash flow above USD 21.0 billion. The company kept its 2026 cash capital expenditure outlook at USD 24.0 billion to USD 26.0 billion and reported net debt of USD 42.0 billion.
That combination matters for LNG Canada because the project is long dated, while the balance sheet and cash generation determine how much room Shell retains for shareholder returns and other investments.
Analyst target reaches 4,368 pence
Gas prices also shaped the latest broker view. MarketScreener reported on September 22, 2026 that AlphaValue/Baader Europe raised its Shell target to GBp 4,368 from GBp 3,821 and maintained an Add rating. The target change supports the broader thesis that stronger gas assumptions and LNG exposure can offset the volatility of oil-linked earnings.
