  "summary": "Shell plc has completed its acquisition of ARC Resources Ltd., a Canadian energy company focused on British Columbia and Alberta. The deal, which received all necessary shareholder, court, and regulatory approvals, adds approximately 370,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day across liquids and gas production to Shell.\n\nThe acquisition has an equity value of around $13.9 billion, with Shell assuming approximately $2.5 billion in net debt and leases, resulting in an enterprise value of approximately $16.5 billion. According to Investing.com, the equity value will be funded through $3.3 billion in cash and $10.6 billion in new Shell shares.\n\nThe acquisition is expected to support Shell's production compound annual growth rate of around 4% through 2030 compared with 2025. Shell's Chief Executive Officer Wael Sawan noted that the acquisition increases Shell's exposure to Canada's Montney basin, where ARC Resources has technical expertise.",
