(Reuters) - Royal Dutch Shell Plc's Shell Gas B.V. (L:RDSa) unit said on Monday it was selling its entire stake in Canadian Natural Resources Ltd (TO:CNQ) for $3.3 billion (2.43 billion pounds).

Shell signed an underwriting agreement for the sale of its entire stake of 97.6 million shares in Canadian Natural, the company said in a statement.

Last June, Shell had reported a stake of 8 percent in Canadian Natural.

Shell decided to offload the roughly C$4.1 billion (2.35 billion pounds) stake in Canadian Natural Resources that it acquired as part of a deal to retreat from Canada's oil sands, people familiar with the situation had told Reuters nearly a year ago.

The deal between the two companies was earlier reported by the Globe and Mail.

The underwriting group includes Goldman Sachs & Co (NYSE:GS), RBC Capital Markets, Scotiabank and TD Securities.
