Oil traders are braced for big price rises when the markets reopen in London and New York this morning in the aftermath of the deadly attack by armed militants at Khobar, the Saudi oil producing region.

 

In Japan, where the market was open yesterday, prices of crude rose by more than 2%.

 

The economic fallout from the weekend siege, which killed 22 people, including a British businessman, was being gauged as a survivor claimed that the Saudi government had done a deal to allow three of the four attackers to escape. They fled in a car, using hostages as shields, the Saudi press agency said. read more

The Wall Street Journal: Shell’s Ex-Chairman Got Pay Raise in 2003

LONDON — Philip Watts, ousted earlier this year as chairman of Royal Dutch/Shell Group for his role in the oil company’s energy-reserve accounting scandal, took home a 13% raise in base pay in 2003. Sir Philip earned £843,021 ($1.6 million or €1.3 million) in salary and fees, according to Shell’s annual report.

 

Sir Philip and other top executives received no annual bonus for 2003, a move Shell announced earlier this year in the midst of disclosures that it had greatly overstated its reserves of oil and natural gas. Without the bonus, Sir Philip’s pay for the year fell by 47%. read more

Highest paid chief executives

Special mention should go to Sir Philip Watts. The former Shell chairman may have left the oil giant under a cloud but enjoyed a 26pc increase in his pension to £10.01m – just outside our top ten.

Daily Telegraph: Highest paid chief executives

1 June 2004

The top two this year are little-known characters outside the City but the size of their pay packets do bear some resemblance to their companies’ performance.

 

Bart Becht has quietly made the top ten in each of our previous surveys and crowns a successful year for Reckitt Benckiser by beating Stanley Fink to the top post. New entry Matt Barrett started his time as chief executive at Barclays by telling the Treasury Select Committee he was loth to borrow on his Barclaycard. Judging by the size of his salary, Mr Barrett should have little need to use credit in the coming years. read more
