English to Portuguese: Shell says it expects to lose up to $5 billion for pulling out of Russia General field: Bus/Financial Detailed field: Business/Commerce (general)
Source text - English The British oil giant Shell said on Thursday that its decision to pull out of its projects in Russia would slash its quarterly profit by $4 billion to $5 billion.
The estimate, detailed in an update to Shell shareholders, is among the largest publicly announced financial hits by any of the hundreds of companies that have curtailed their operations in Russia or withdrawn entirely since its invasion of Ukraine.
Shell, however, made $20 billion in profit last year, and high energy prices are expected to bolster its bottom line this year — analysts expect it to make over $30 billion in 2022, according to FactSet.
Shell, Europe’s largest oil company, said in February that it would leave its joint ventures with Gazprom, the Russian state-controlled gas monopoly, and end its involvement with the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, which Germany suspended after the invasion. In March, the company announced a more definitive break with Russia, saying it would stop buying oil and gas from Russia and shutter its service stations in the country in a “phased withdrawal” from its operations there.
The move followed criticism of Shell for buying a cargo of Russian crude at a large discount, a purchase the company said it had made because it was unable to find alternative oil sources. Shell promised to donate profits from the purchase to humanitarian aid.
According to some estimates, Shell tankers carried an average of 175,000 barrels of crude oil every day from Russia in 2021, about 9 percent of what the company refined globally.
Translation - Portuguese Shell anuncia que espera perder até US$ 5 bilhões por deixar de fazer negócios na Rússia
A gigante britânica de petróleo Shell anunciou na quinta-feira que sua decisão de deixar de prosseguir com seus projetos na Rússia diminuiria seu lucro trimestral entre U$$ 4 bilhões a US$ 5 bilhões.
A estimativa, que foi descrita em detalhes numa atualização aos acionistas da Shell, está entre uma das maiores perdas publicamente anunciadas pelas centenas de empresas que diminuíram ou cessaram completamente suas operações na Rússia desde a invasão à Ucrânia.
Entretanto, a Shell obteve ano passado um lucro de US$ 20 bilhões, e a expectativa é que os altos preços de energia reforcem seus lucros nesse ano. Os analistas esperam um lucro acima dos US$ 30 bilhões em 2022, de acordo com o FactSet.
A Shell, que é considerada a maior empresa de petróleo da Europa, anunciou em fevereiro que deixaria sua parceira com a Gazprom, monopólio de gás controlada pelo governo russo, e que encerraria seu envolvimento com o gasoduto da Nord Stream 2, que foi suspensa pela Alemanha após a invasão. Em março, a empresa anunciou uma quebra mais definitiva com a Rússia, divulgando sua ideia de parar de comprar petróleo e gás da Rússia e fechar suas estações de serviço no país numa “retirada em fases” de sua operação em território russo.
A mudança gerou críticas à Shell por ter comprado um carregamento de petróleo bruto russo com um grande desconto, uma compra que segundo a companhia foi feita pela impossibilidade de encontrar fontes alternativas desse produto. A Shell prometeu doar os lucros dessa compra para ajuda humanitária.
De acordo com algumas estimativas, os petroleiros da Shell transportaram em média 175.000 barris de petróleo bruto da Rússia todos os dias em 2021, aproximadamente 9% do que a empresa refinou globalmente.

Years of experience: 28. Registered at ProZ.com: Jan 2011.
I have been working as a freelance translator ever since I joined the Translation and Interpretation university in Brazil, in 1996.
When I graduated, I got into a UPS manufacturer company in Brazil and started working as a translator, then a Quality Analyst. So I have 20+ years working in multinational companies in Brazil, which gave me a good background in terms of industry, quality management and engineering. During this time I continued working as a translator but with a much smaller frequency as in the past.
Now I am returning to the translation as a full time job. My main specialties are business, quality management and engineering, as well as my main hobby - games. I am an enthusiast of gaming in general, either video games but specially board games. I have a Youtube channel (in Portuguese) about board games called Dados do Tabuleiro.
