- Shell's Brazil chief, Cristiano Pinto da Costa, indicated that Shell prefers to keep Raízen operating as a single entity and expects another investor, specifically Cosan, to match Shell's capital contribution.
- Creditors have objected to a BTG Pactual restructuring proposal that would separate Raízen’s fuel distribution from its other divisions, with Shell stating that any breakup should only be considered after recapitalization.
- Cosan founder Rubens Ometto intends to commit about 500 million reais via his family investment vehicle, Aguassanta, although Cosan itself does not plan to invest directly.
- For the fourth quarter of 2025, Kosmos Energy reported a net loss of $377 million and an adjusted net loss of $78 million, with revenues of $295 million.
- Net production in Q4 2025 averaged approximately 67,900 boepd, an increase of ~4% versus Q3 2025, and year-end 2025 1P reserves stood at approximately 250 mmboe.

- Shell holds a 16.81% ownership stake in the Kashagan consortium.
- This arbitration is part of a broader set of disputes with Kazakh authorities, with total claims potentially reaching $166 billion.
- Shell has paused further investment in Kazakhstan due to government legal claims that could cost oil majors billions.
