Shell Gas & Power International B.V. is a mining enterprise based in the Netherlands, established in 2003, and operates as a subsidiary of Shell plc with its main office located in The Hague.

Shell conducted its energy and natural gas trading activities through its Shell trading division alongside Coral Energy, LLC, which served as a prominent marketer of both financial and physical power across the western United States (WECC), Texas (ERCOT), and Canada. Coral Energy also held a significant position as a natural gas provider with an extensive retail footprint in the western US market.

In November 2007, Shell revealed plans to merge its US Coral Energy entities into a single company named "Shell Energy North America." This restructuring was finalized in 2008, combining Coral Energy Resources, Coral Power, Coral Management, and Coral Gas Marketing. The newly formed Shell Energy North America became a fully owned subsidiary of Royal Dutch Shell, headquartered in Houston.
