Shell slows refining, takes up to US$800m hit after oil crash


LONDON: Royal Dutch Shell slowed refining output and will write down up to $800 million in the first quarter of 2020 after a dramatic drop in oil demand due to the coronavirus.

In an update ahead of first-quarter results, Shell said it expects "significant uncertainty" over oil and gas prices and demand as a result of falling consumption.
