Shell said it agreed to sell Nigerian onshore subsidiary Shell Petroleum Development Company of Nigeria, or SPDC, for up to $2.4 billion.

The London-based energy major said Tuesday that it will receive $1.3 billion initially, with the buyer--a consortium of five companies--additionally paying up to $1.1 billion, mainly relating to prior receivables and cash balances, with the majority expected to be paid at completion of the deal.
