Shell said last month that a quick recovery in energy demand and prices was unlikely and that it would cut 5,000 jobs. Even so, Chadwick said Australia is a growth area for us.

The reorganisation moved very fast in 2009, Mr Voser said.
For 15,000 posts, people have had to re-apply for their jobs.
About 50,000 people work in the areas affected by cuts, out of Shells total workforce of 102,000, and in those affected areas 10 per cent of the staff have gone.
Even in the newly-created projects and technology division, which is a centre of expertise for the group to draw on, 1,800 jobs have been cut from a workforce of 10,000 as duplicated roles are abolished.
