One thing that could be driving this is the rise of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) investing in the UK, and across the EU, due to regulatory changes.

I wouldn't be surprised if Shell's management are aware of ESG pressure from institutional investors.

That's true and I hadn't thought of that angle at all. If it saves them from investor divestment for another 6 months it's a steal!
