MT Newswires Live

Yesterday

(Updates with ExxonMobil's response in the fourth paragraph.)

Shell (SHEL) has drawn interest from potential bidders, including ExxonMobil (XOM), LyondellBasell (LYB) and Apollo Global Management (APO), for its US chemicals assets, which could fetch up to $8 billion, the Financial Times reported Monday, citing people familiar with the matter.

The assets span four sites in Louisiana, Texas and Pennsylvania, including Shell's $14 billion Monaca, Pennsylvania, complex, according to the report.

Potential bidders submitted nonbinding offers last month for the entire business or parts of it, the people told the publication.

ExxonMobil doesn't comment on "rumors or speculation," the company said in a statement e-mailed to MT Newswires.

Shell declined to comment, while LyondellBasell and Apollo didn't immediately respond to MT Newswires' requests for comment.
