Shell said in a statement on Tuesday that it could generate 2-3 percent annual production growth early in the next decade.

Previously the company said it had a long-term growth potential of 2-3 percent. A spokesman declined to say if the earlier target had been dropped.

The Anglo-Dutch oil major reported better reserves replacement performance than some analysts expected.

Shell matched almost all its production with new finds in 2008, with a reserves replacement rate of 98 percent when measured according to Securities and Exchange Commission rules, the spokesman said.

After selling a number of refineries and fuel retail operations in Europe and Africa in recent years, Shell said it could sell further refining and fuel marketing activities in Germany and New Zealand.
