$RDS.A Shell is counting on crude rising to $90/bbl by 2020, a key assumption in its move to buy BG Group for $70B to help transform it into a leading player in the deepwater oil and liquefied natural gas markets.
In the nearer term, Shell expects Brent crude to show only slight improvement from the current ~$58/bbl, forecasting 2016 prices to average $67/bbl and $75 in 2017, based on the company's BG offer.
