Shell – The Sin Stock That Keeps on Sinning

Posted by John Donovan: 15 Jan 25

They say money makes the world go round, but at Shell, it also makes the world burn, drown, and choke on toxic fumes. For decades, this greedy, ruthless oil giant has been the poster child for corporate malfeasance, environmental destruction, and whistleblower persecution. Let’s not mince words: Shell is not just a company; it’s an evil empire masquerading as an energy conglomerate, bankrolled by investors like BlackRock, who are apparently too busy counting their profits to notice the carnage. read more

…doubling down on a project already plagued by scandal and whistleblower revelations

Posted by John Donovan; 9 January 2025

Here we go again. Shell, the global grandmaster of environmental destruction and corporate greed, has announced its latest scheme to exploit every corner of the planet it can. This time, it’s the $2.5 billion Crux gas field development off the coast of Australia. Shell’s plan? Tie Crux to its controversial Prelude floating LNG facility—because nothing says “environmental responsibility” like doubling down on a project already plagued by scandal and whistleblower revelations read more

Shell’s Great LNG Fantasy: Greenwashing, Lower Profits, and Wall Street Dreams

Posted by John Donovan: 8 Jan 2025

Shell, the global poster child for corporate greed and environmental destruction, is back at it—doubling down on liquefied natural gas (LNG) while insisting it’s all part of their plan to save the planet. Spoiler: It’s not. The oil giant’s latest quarterly woes and shareholder revolts have laid bare the contradictions at the heart of its business strategy, exposing a company more committed to profits than its much-touted net-zero promises

In the grand theater of “profit before planet,” Shell—the poster child for greed, pollution, and shameless hypocrisy—has outdone itself. Once strutting around with lofty promises of becoming a world leader in clean energy, Shell has now quietly tossed its renewable ambitions into the trash can, along with any pretense of caring about the climate crisis. Instead, it’s all about fattening profits with oil and gas, the dirtiest of dirty fuels.

WTF Shell? The Oil Giant’s Twisted Tango with Nigeria

Posted by John Donovan: 20 Dec 2024

Once again, Shell, the paragon of corporate ruthlessness and environmental degradation, proves there’s no mess too big to sweep under a rug made of oil-stained dollar bills. The Anglo-Dutch juggernaut, whose rap sheet includes everything from massive spills to good old-fashioned espionage through shadowy outfits like Hakluyt & Co., has pulled off another jaw-dropping manoeuvre in Nigeria.

Here’s the skinny: Shell just tied a shiny $5 billion investment in Nigeria’s offshore Bonga North project to the government greenlighting their exit from onshore oil operations in the Niger Delta—a region they’ve poisoned for decades. Bravo, Shell! Nothing screams corporate responsibility like strong-arming a country desperate for foreign investment. read more

Shell Dumps $2.4 Billion Nigerian Assets, Doubles Down on Deepwater Destruction

Well, isn’t this just rich. Shell Plc, the oily overlord of environmental devastation, has finally managed to offload $2.4 billion worth of Nigerian assets to Renaissance Group, after being given the go-ahead by Nigeria’s oil minister. You know, the same oil minister who, just two months ago, hit the brakes on Shell’s attempt to bail on its onshore and shallow-water operations in the Niger Delta. But apparently, a couple of months—and maybe a few “persuasive” conversations—were all it took for Shell to get the approval it needed. read more

WTF Shell? Pennsylvania Sacrificed on the Altar of Plastic Profits

Welcome to Monaca, Pennsylvania, where Shell has transformed an idyllic community into a 386-acre homage to pollution, hypocrisy, and “economic revitalization.” Step right up, folks, and marvel at the Shell Pennsylvania Petrochemicals Complex—a modern-day marvel that takes fracked gas, cracks it, and pumps out plastic pellets and pollution like it’s 2023’s hottest trend. Because who needs breathable air or drinkable water when you can have millions of tons of plastic?

Let’s meet Nadine Luci, a local resident turned involuntary test subject for Shell’s experiment in corporate gaslighting. She lives just two miles from the facility but practically needs a hazmat suit to step outside. “I have to live in a cocoon,” says Nadine, as she surveys the syrupy stench of corporate greed wafting through her town. Her tap water smells like dead fish, but it’s okay, because Shell generously provides… scholarships? Basketball courts? It’s like offering Band-Aids at a massacre. read more

Hold onto your wallets (and your lungs), because Shell—yes, that Shell, the oil-stained paragon of planetary indifference—is hosting an investor day in March. This move, helmed by their ever-diligent CEO Wael Sawan, promises to unleash a dazzling spectacle of cost cuts, greenwashing, and a strategic U-turn toward pumping more oil and gas. Because if the world is burning, Shell figures it might as well fan the flames with some premium-grade crude.

Whistleblower Irina Woodhead warned Shell months before the Prelude fire that its emergency protocols were about as effective as a soggy matchstick

Whistleblower Irina Woodhead warned Shell months before the Prelude fire that its emergency protocols were about as effective as a soggy matchstick.

In today’s episode of Corporate Hypocrisy: Shell Edition, let’s dive into the latest spectacle from the world’s favourite sin stock, Shell—championed by investors like Vanguard and BlackRock, who clearly love a good oil-slicked controversy. This time, it’s whistleblowing safety engineer Irina Woodhead versus the profit-worshipping oil titan, and the results are about as surprising as discovering Shell spilt oil somewhere (again).

Irina Woodhead, a former Shell safety advisor and Technical Authority Level 2, claims she was dismissed after raising alarms about terrifyingly inadequate safety protocols aboard the Prelude FLNG vessel. You know, the floating gas factory that nearly turned into a floating gas fireball in December 2021 when a fire erupted and emergency systems decided to sit this one out. The 293 people on board? Let’s just say their evacuation options were as robust as Shell’s commitment to ethics. read more

In the latest jaw-dropping display of corporate dominance, the fossil fuel behemoth managed to wiggle out of a Dutch court ruling that once dared—dared!—to ask the company to clean up a fraction of its catastrophic mess. The court’s demand? A 45% reduction in emissions by 2030. Shell’s response? “Nah, we’ll pass, thanks.” And now, thanks to a Hague appeals court overturning that pesky ruling, they can keep on keeping on. Cue the applause from major shareholders like BlackRock, because who needs a livable planet when profits are this juicy? read more

In the latest episode of Corporate Malfeasance: Climate Edition, Shell—everyone’s favorite destroyer of worlds—is backing away from offshore wind investments because, well, it’s just not profitable enough for their bottomless greed. CEO Wael Sawan, apparently inspired by Scrooge McDuck, has decided that low-carbon energy isn’t where the money is. Oil, gas, and biofuels? Jackpot! Saving the planet? Meh, let someone else take the loss.

Shell: The Courtroom Climate Circus Rolls On – Now Featuring Half-Hearted Accountability and Smug Oil Barons

Well, well, well. Shell, the corporate titan of greenhouse gas glory, has scored a sort-of win in its ongoing climate case. The Dutch Court of Appeal recently ruled that the oil giant doesn’t have to cut its CO₂ emissions by 45% by 2030. Why? Because apparently, it’s too hard to impose such a “burden” on a company whose entire business model is drilling us toward planetary doom. Congratulations, Shell! You’ve temporarily dodged responsibility while the Earth keeps simmering. Pop champagne—or, in your case, crude oil. read more

Shell—ever the champion of profit at any cost, and now throwing a tantrum because their latest LNG scheme didn’t quite go as planned. In a plot twist that’s dripping with irony, Shell, the ruthless polluter with an insatiable hunger for cash, is dragging Venture Global into arbitration over undelivered liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the Calcasieu Pass facility. Brace yourselves: the oil behemoth is upset it didn’t get to rake in even more billions. Yes, billions. Cry us a river, Wael Sawan. read more

Here we go again—Shell Pipeline of Houston, armed with its checkbook and an uncanny ability to sidestep genuine accountability, has settled yet another environmental debacle. This time, it’s a $697,270 civil penalty slapped on by Pennsylvania’s Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). The charge? Oh, just the small matter of drilling fluids leaking into waterways and erosion problems during the construction of a 45-mile stretch of the Falcon pipeline. A mere five separate leaks polluted streams and wetlands, including Raccoon Creek, Mill Creek, and a couple of unnamed tributaries feeding into Potato Garden Run. Yes, that’s right—this pipeline was an environmental disaster before it even started pumping gas. read more

Oh, Shell plc. The oil giant whose reputation for not giving a damn precedes it. Let’s take a closer look at the ownership structure of this titan of pollution, profit, and PR spin. Spoiler alert: the little guy isn’t calling the shots here. Nope, that honor belongs to the institutional investors who hold a whopping 67% of the company. Yep, folks, Shell’s biggest cheerleaders are the mega-money managers, like BlackRock, which owns a cozy 8.3% of the pie. Isn’t it comforting to know who’s steering this climate-destroying ship? read more

Oh, Shell. Just when you thought they couldn’t look worse, here they are proving once again why they’re the undisputed heavyweight champion of corporate callousness. Allegations of retaliation? Check. Industrial disputes? Double-check. And let’s not forget a court ruling that gives them a free pass to keep polluting. Truly a masterpiece of modern greed.

Whistleblower? Meet the Shell Machine

Former Shell safety engineer Irina Woodhead is pulling back the curtain on the Prelude circus. Her crime? Daring to speak up about serious safety concerns on the Prelude FLNG project. Her reward? Alleged retaliation, career destruction, and a tribunal system that apparently runs on bias instead of justice. Woodhead’s words are chilling: read more
