Shell Plc saw continued strong performance from its natural gas and upstream businesses in the third quarter, even as oil-refining margins declined and it expects to lose money in chemicals.

Integrated gas production during the period was likely 920,000-960,000 barrels of oil-equivalent a day, in line with second-quarter output, the company said in a trading update Monday.
