Irish Independent: Shell keen to put scandal behind it

Irish Independent: Shell keen to put scandal behind it

Sept 18, 2004

ROYAL Dutch/Shell Group is expected to try to put the damaging scandal of its overstated oil reserves behind it when it gives its annual strategy presentation next week.

You can’t be sure of Shell, says the City

The Guardian: You can’t be sure of Shell, says the City

With an investor charm offensive this week and a terrible year behind them, executives must be nostalgic for the group’s imperial past: “Shell will this week make a desperate attempt to draw a line under the oil reserves scandal…”

TERRY MACALISTER

Sept 18, 2004

Shell will this week make a desperate attempt to draw a line under the oil reserves scandal that has dogged the company since the start of the year by outlining its strategic plans for the future.

But chairman Jeroen van der Veer and his exploration boss, Malcolm Brinded, will hold the critical briefing in the City on Wednesday with menacing storm clouds hanging over their heads.

While Hurricane Ivan forced the Anglo-Dutch oil giant to shut down platforms in the Gulf of Mexico earlier this week, a verbal hurricane – emanating from its dismissed former chairman Sir Philip Watts – was blasting the Financial Services Authority. read more
