I don't think it will be a problem if your goal is to be a high performer looking to end up in senior management. Lack of chemistry or chemical engineering background is not a show stopper unless you are looking to pursue a hardcore specialist role in stuff such as hydrocarbon research or reactor/process engineering. There are a lot of business oriented roles within Shell that do not require specialist knowledge. A normal engineering background will be sufficient.
Don't be too fixated with numbers. Top tier performers will be well rewarded. Trust me, O&G is the one of the better paying sectors out there with good prospects.
