Shell handled its energy and natural gas trading through its Shell trading brand and its then subsidiary, Coral Energy, LLC, which was a primary marketer of financial and physical power in the western United States (WECC), Texas (ERCOT), and Canada. They were also one of the largest natural gas providers to the western United States, having a very strong retail presence.

In November 2007, Shell announced that it would merge its US-based Coral Energy companies into "Shell Energy North America". The merge completed in 2008, involved all the Coral companies including Coral Energy Resources, Coral Power, Coral Management and Coral Gas Marketing. Shell Energy North America was established as a wholly owned subsidiary of Royal Dutch Shell, headquartered in Houston.[3][4]
