I think they are doing it for the right reasons. I think Shell has been working on next-gen fuels/tech for a while and even published a shareholder plan concerning their move to renewables.

If they do dismantle it, I don't see how they could avoid antitrust issues.

Indeed. They have been clear they want to get into green energy. https://www.shell.com/energy-and-innovation/the-energy-futur... (warning: loads slowly, crashes on iPad):

Shell is aiming to become a net-zero emissions energy business by 2050 or sooner.

We intend to meet our customers’ demand for cleaner energy, keeping in pace with society
