Cairo - BG International Limited, a wholly-owned by Shell plc, has signed an agreement with ExxonMobil Egypt (Upstream) Limited to fully acquire the Nile Delta Block 3, a northeast El-Amriya offshore concession block.

Following the transfer of ownership, Shell will manage and operate the concession block, according to a press release on Wednesday.
