Shell EP International Venture (SEPIV) is responsible for the development of new EP businesses into centers for profitability and growth throughout the world outside North America. Our goal is to add value for all stakeholders - our shareholders, partners, host nations, and their people - in all segments of the upstream value chain. In addition to traditional E&P activities, SEPIV now seeks opportunities in the acquisition of producing assets, participation in major pipeline projects and involvement in all aspects of the gas business.
