- guest_7636 : All credits must be given to employees with wonderful hearts for charity. Shell, tell me you gave 5,000 out of the 10,000 Ghana Cedis. I thought I read somewhere where you ought to give generously without knowing what your hands are doing? Good night!

- guest_4845 : 20080512f: Let us get the record straight. It is a very noble work of mercy for employees of any company in the country they operate to help - the infected children with HIV in Ghana. In this case, it was the employees who help the children and Shell stole the limelight unless Shell tells us that she has top-up 1:1, etc. Only then do we know for certain how much donation was given, presumely tax deductable for a cheap advertisement. All credits must be given to employees with a wonderful hear
- guest_7746 : John what were your involvement if any with API before and now? John will any US citizen be affected by the Logan Act in USA due to dealing with Shell over congressional matters pertaining to energy?
- guest_7746 : 20080512e: I wonder why the Netherland is so quiet when Shell is up to no good from the many postings here. It seems that the UK/ Gordon Brown is taking the beating instead for which he also did not raise any objections. Do not think that the Netherlands will leave their interests in Europe, Africa and Middle East? Shell in Americas can be made transparent by exposing their lobbyists including their management staff like John Homeister. John what were your involvement if any with API before
- guest_1218 : Shell pulls out of Pars "under pressure from the US" leaving Total to clean up. Part of a merger deal between Shell and Total perhaps? (Shell takes the Americas, Total takes the rest of the world?). Shell seems to be heavily focussed on investment in the Americas...

- guest_7912 : 20080512d; Musaint, your ID looks almost a musing saint; I hope you will not think badly about Christian Aid, scandalizing them almost liars. If their facts are not true, I will also shoot at Christian Aid but if their facts and figures are correct, who are we to tell them not to write like that. They have an obligation to voice the huge injustice that exist in the world of Shel. She will just get more horrendous stories with passing time!
- guest_7912 : 20080512c: Oh, I forgot-inducement leading to corruption of the countries Shell operates in.
- guest_7912 : 20080512b: Agree Musaint that Shell donates mega millions. Please have an inventory list drawn up and how much money are assigned per countries including where Shell does not operate and I will tell you the reasons of those donations. If you look from the front you would think that Brutus was kissing Caesar and if you look from the back there was a huge hole of a dagger on Caesar’s back. Let’s see the numbers and I will tell you that it is not far from inducement!
- John Donovan : That's Shell senior management: all heart...
- MUSAINT : PART 2 : Shell donate mega millions every year to poor communities. I trust that Shell et al are not going to be blammed for the disasters in the likes of Burma and Zimbabwe.
- MUSAINT : The Christian Aid story has merely been "spiced up" via it's dramatic headline that indicates Shell could be a major tax evader. I very much doubt this and let's face it we mostly hate paying taxes if we don't have to, particularly when tax funds are grossly mismanaged by the likes of the UK labour party. I think that Christian Aid do a good job but not with stories like this. Blame corrupt governments for making their people poor not the likes of Shell who donate mega millions every year t
- guest_907 : 20080512: Christian Aid, I believe Shell and her cohorts on this live chat will accused you of making unwarranted claims in your story about Shell’s tax evasion. Can you show us clearly how Shell does it with various inventions, instruments and ingenuity? Did you make your findings clear to the United Nations concern about your story and what was the UN response if any? I wonder if Shell Shareholders, employees and other stakeholders are proud to be associated with Shell’s controversies?
- John Donovan : Guest 1919, only value probably as a collectors item... eBay?
- guest_1919 : I have found a $5.00 share of The Royal Oil, Gas & Refining Company in my Grandpas things that he bought in 1917 where can I find out if it is worth anything?
- guest_1919 : hello can someone please help me
- John Donovan : Guest 1273, I suggest a Google search on "Shell Production Sharing Agreement".
- guest_1273 : does anyone know how much money a foreign country gets when shell starts digging up their oil?
- MUSAINT : Article "Who's to really to blame for rising oil?" Some fair points from Jason Schwarz - i.e. the consumers can do more than they are doing, particularly in the U.S.A. However, when he says that "all our hard earned money wil be sitting with the oil majors" he is not entirely correct especially in the UK. This lousy Labour Government led by "Greedy Gordon" has most of the revenue from oil (well head & pump).
- guest_3688 : Thank you for your great website. Thank you.
- guest_4016 : Guest 3423,Well there is a Peter Grieve Head of Economics NBD in the Hague
- guest_3423 : Does anyone know if Peter Grieve still works for Shell. He was kicked out of Syria in 2001 by the government for a number of serious offences while working there with Shell.
- John Donovan : We have no further information about the alleged pipeline problem on the Sakhalin II project. If anyone involved does have any news, please post it here. Even better, send us any evidence via an anonymous email address.
- guest_5647 : Guys, Did we get any more news on the pipeline burst on Sakalin
- John Donovan : All advertising messages posted on Live Chat will be deleted.

Oil Prices
When crude prices collapsed in the late 1980s, so did interest in oil as an investment and a career - even Dallas , TV’s celebration of big oil and big hair, bowed out in 1991.
Call options bet on oil hitting $200

Are retention bonuses the right way to lock in staff?
Last month Shell and BP roused the ire of investors when they announced plans to award some of their executive directors “retention bonuses”, that is, payments for staying in the job. Companies typically offer such bonuses in the hope of holding on to managers who may have missed out on senior jobs.
