As long-established and well respected operators of corporate aircraft, Shell was most likely engaged in negotiations for these aircraft long before the most recent oil-price hike.
Furthermore, even if bought outright, the investment would represent mere pennies from their huge operating surplus.

They're Gulfstreams have gone or are going along with the smaller Falcon 50s
Looks like they just want a common fleet (F900EX) now, certainly must be cheaper to run & maintain?
