News and information on Shell Plc
By THERESA BLACKWELL, Times Staff Writer
CLEARWATER – Shell Oil Co. probably will apply within a month for a federal permit to drill an exploratory well 53 miles west of Clearwater, an operation that will take up to three months and go down 18,000 feet into the floor of the Gulf of Mexico.
Robert L. Wilson, manager of safety and environmental conservation for Shell’s offshore division, outlined his company’s proposed drilling program to members of the Clearwater Rotary Club here Wednesday.
June 18 (Bloomberg) — Top oil executives at ConocoPhillips, Chevron Corp. and Royal Dutch Shell Plc defended the industry’s record profits amid high U.S. gasoline prices, saying the money is being used to produce more fuel to satisfy demand in the U.S.
“We have enormous capital investments to bring energy to the American people,” David O’Reilly, chief executive of San Ramon California-based Chevron Corp., said on NBC’s “Meet the Press” program, where he was joined by James Mulva, chief executive of Houston-based Conoco, and John Hofmeister, U.S. chairman of Hague-based Shell. “Last year we made $14 billion. This year we’re investing $15 billion back in growing energy supplies.”

We have featured a number of news stories recently relating to the Shell Brent Bravo scandal. Shell has admitted responsibility for the tragic deaths of two oil workers, Keith Moncrieff, 45, and Sean McCue, 22, who died after being overcome with gas on the Brent Bravo platform in 2003. A record breaking £900,000 UK pounds fine (over $1.5 million USD), was imposed on Shell for breaches of Health & Safety regulations.
The news reports (two examples below) resulted in some related postings and emails on this website from people with an interest in Shell, including current and former employees.
