Shell plc →Prices easeLubricant Base Oils (Group I/II/III) for Engine Oil & Industrial Lubricants
A larger North Sea crude stream should ease refinery feedstock constraints and put modest downward pressure on the petroleum-derived base oils Shell buys.

Aker BP's find is described as a gas discovery with recoverable volumes, so North Sea gas supply should rise modestly and make BP's natural-gas input a bit more available, though this edge is only a 3.5% share and is fairly substitutable.

Lubricant Base Oils (Group I/II/III) for Engine Oil & Industrial Lubricants →supply upMore North Sea crude should ease feedstock availability for lubricant base oils, which is a critical, high-dependency input to motor oil & lubricants.

Motor oil & lubricants →supply upLubricant Base Oils (Group I/II/III) for Engine Oil & Industrial Lubricants
More North Sea crude should ease feedstock availability for this critical base-oil input, lifting supply into motor-oil blending.
