Shell Pops Namibia’s Oil Dream: “Uneconomic” Finds and the Usual Greed-First Spin
Shell, the corporate maestro of broken promises and environmental carnage, has graced us with yet another chapter in its saga of disappointment. This time, the scene is Namibia’s Orange Basin, where Shell’s much-hyped oil and gas discoveries have turned out to be—wait for it—uneconomic. But don’t worry, they’ll still keep sniffing around for more profit opportunities while the Namibian government watches its oil boom fantasies evaporate. Classic Shell

The headline “Oil giant Shell warns of £2bn blow as it struggles to close the gap with US rival” is from an article posted today by This is Money.co.uk, which inspired the article below.
Shell’s Billion-Pound Sob Story: Lower Profits, Less Gas, and Renewables on the Chopping Block
Stop the presses: Shell, the planet’s favorite polluting powerhouse, has issued a profit warning. The oil and gas supermajor—famous for greenwashing, corporate greed, and a knack for ruining ecosystems—is bracing for a sharp decline in Q4 profits and gas production. Adding insult to injury (or irony to incompetence), the company is also swallowing a £1 billion charge in its renewables unit. Let’s dissect the trainwreck. read more

…doubling down on a project already plagued by scandal and whistleblower revelations
Posted by John Donovan; 9 January 2025
Here we go again. Shell, the global grandmaster of environmental destruction and corporate greed, has announced its latest scheme to exploit every corner of the planet it can. This time, it’s the $2.5 billion Crux gas field development off the coast of Australia. Shell’s plan? Tie Crux to its controversial Prelude floating LNG facility—because nothing says “environmental responsibility” like doubling down on a project already plagued by scandal and whistleblower revelations read more

Shell’s Shaky Dutch Legacy: Earthquakes, Gas Drilling, and Wall Street Dreams
Ladies and gentlemen, Shell—the master of environmental destruction and corporate greed—is at it again. If you thought oil spills and greenwashing were the worst of it, let’s talk about how Shell’s decades-long obsession with extracting every last drop of gas from the Netherlands has literally shaken the earth
The Groningen Quakes: Shell’s Dirty Little Secret
The Netherlands experienced 47 earthquakes in 2024, according to the KNMI. Of those, 40 were caused by gas extraction, primarily from the infamous Groningen gas field—a site that’s been synonymous with human-induced seismic activity for years. Natural disasters? Think again. These are Shell-made quakes, brought to you by their relentless gas drilling. read more

Shell’s Great LNG Fantasy: Greenwashing, Lower Profits, and Wall Street Dreams
Posted by John Donovan: 8 Jan 2025
Shell, the global poster child for corporate greed and environmental destruction, is back at it—doubling down on liquefied natural gas (LNG) while insisting it’s all part of their plan to save the planet. Spoiler: It’s not. The oil giant’s latest quarterly woes and shareholder revolts have laid bare the contradictions at the heart of its business strategy, exposing a company more committed to profits than its much-touted net-zero promises

This merger could create a single, “politically palatable” British oil powerhouse, bringing the two firms under one toxic roof again, as they were back in the day of Shell-Mex & BP Limited. Let’s not kid ourselves: combining two sin stocks doesn’t create a virtuous company—it creates a bigger monster.
Well, well, well. The idea of Shell and BP reuniting like long-lost toxic lovers to form a single “British champion” has emerged again, and honestly, what could possibly go wrong? Let’s take a moment to bask in the absurdity of these two oil-soaked giants coming together, as if their combined history of greed, destruction, and shady dealings weren’t already jaw-dropping enough.
BP: The Soggy “Takeover Target”
BP, described as an “absolute dog” by *Oliver Shah, has been floundering ever since it made some laughably “overly ambitious” green commitments during COVID. Then there was the messy exit of CEO Bernard Looney, which left BP as rudderless as one of its oil-drenched ships in the Gulf of Mexico. The new CEO, Murray Auchincloss, is doing some light tidying, like offloading offshore wind assets to a Japanese joint venture. But let’s be real: nothing short of a PR miracle or massive corporate overhaul will revive BP’s limp share price. read more

The UK’s whistleblowing protections are in tatters, and its justice system is on life support. Individuals who dare to expose corruption, negligence, or safety failings face insurmountable barriers, not just from their employers but from a broken system meant to protect them. Irina Woodhead’s battle against Shell International Trading and Shipping Company Limited is the latest case to shine a damning light on a system that silences whistleblowers, shields corporations, and denies justice. read more

Ladies and gentlemen, let’s give a standing ovation to Shell—because when it comes to greed, hypocrisy, and climate destruction, this oil-soaked corporate Goliath continues to redefine the art of not giving a single f*ck about the planet. In its latest episode of “How Can We Make Everything Worse?”, Shell has launched yet another stock buyback program while gutting its EV charging ambitions and threatening to leave the London Stock Exchange for Wall Street. Bravo, Shell. read more

Oh, Shell. The planet’s favourite oil-slicked villain has once again shown us just how committed it is to “cleaner mobility” (wink wink). In a move that’s equal parts farcical and revealing, Shell Recharge Solutions is throwing its charging business into a blender—shutting down software services, offloading responsibilities, and pretending it’s all part of some grand strategy for a greener future. What’s really happening? Let’s dive into the shameless absurdity read more

Oh, Shell. The benevolent overlord of oil spills, climate denial, and corporate greed is at it again. In what might be the least surprising development of the century, Shell’s chief executive, Wael Sawan, has announced that the company is considering ditching its London listing for the bright, deregulated allure of New York. Because, apparently, £152 billion isn’t enough for this juggernaut of destruction—they need more, damn it.
According to Sawan, Shell is on a “sprint” to boost its valuation and close the gap with American giants ExxonMobil and Chevron. Yes, those paragons of climate responsibility. And if London can’t fluff their valuation numbers to sufficiently stroke Shell’s ego by the end of 2025, they’re threatening to pack up their toys and play in the States. It’s like the corporate version of “if you don’t love me at my worst, you don’t deserve me at my best”—except it’s Shell, and their “best” is spewing carbon and pocketing record profits. read more

In the grand theater of “profit before planet,” Shell—the poster child for greed, pollution, and shameless hypocrisy—has outdone itself. Once strutting around with lofty promises of becoming a world leader in clean energy, Shell has now quietly tossed its renewable ambitions into the trash can, along with any pretense of caring about the climate crisis. Instead, it’s all about fattening profits with oil and gas, the dirtiest of dirty fuels.

Ah, Shell, that global paragon of corporate virtue (read: greed), is at it again—reminding the world that profit always comes first, no matter the cost. With a track record as smooth as an oil spill, Shell has managed to combine ruthless ambition, a touch of espionage, and an uncanny ability to slide through controversies unscathed. Let’s dive into the murky depths of corporate surveillance.
A Glimpse into Corporate Espionage
Imagine sitting in a piss-drenched doorway, pretending to be homeless, just to “eyeball” a target across the street. One moment you’re incognito, the next you’re suited up, tailing someone through the City and “ripping” their phone—a polite euphemism for illegally downloading its contents. This isn’t a spy movie; it’s just another day in the life of a private investigator. read more

Once again, Shell, the paragon of corporate ruthlessness and environmental degradation, proves there’s no mess too big to sweep under a rug made of oil-stained dollar bills. The Anglo-Dutch juggernaut, whose rap sheet includes everything from massive spills to good old-fashioned espionage through shadowy outfits like Hakluyt & Co., has pulled off another jaw-dropping manoeuvre in Nigeria.
Here’s the skinny: Shell just tied a shiny $5 billion investment in Nigeria’s offshore Bonga North project to the government greenlighting their exit from onshore oil operations in the Niger Delta—a region they’ve poisoned for decades. Bravo, Shell! Nothing screams corporate responsibility like strong-arming a country desperate for foreign investment. read more

Step right up, folks, and witness the miraculous transformation of Shell Plc—the fossil fuel giant with a century-long legacy of plundering the planet—into a self-proclaimed champion of clean energy and AI innovation. Yes, Shell, the company that has spilt more oil than most countries produce, now wants you to believe it’s harnessing artificial intelligence to save the world. What’s next? Big Tobacco solving lung cancer?
According to Shell’s VP of Digital Innovation, Dan Jeavons, “AI is not a silver bullet, but it is a tool that can help us accelerate energy transition and reduce CO2 emissions.” Oh, Dan, how quaint. Shell has spent decades perfecting the art of PR spin, and this is a gem: “reduce CO2 emissions” from the company that’s one of the largest carbon polluters on the planet. Bravo. read more

Well, isn’t this just rich. Shell Plc, the oily overlord of environmental devastation, has finally managed to offload $2.4 billion worth of Nigerian assets to Renaissance Group, after being given the go-ahead by Nigeria’s oil minister. You know, the same oil minister who, just two months ago, hit the brakes on Shell’s attempt to bail on its onshore and shallow-water operations in the Niger Delta. But apparently, a couple of months—and maybe a few “persuasive” conversations—were all it took for Shell to get the approval it needed. read more
