“We will continue to choose alternatives to Russian oil wherever possible, but this cannot happen overnight because of how significant Russia is to global supply,” Shell said in a statement on Saturday. “We have been in intense talks with governments and continue to follow their guidance around this issue of security of supply.” read more

Shell buys Russian oil days after saying it would limit business with the country for its ‘senseless act of military aggression’ against Ukraine

Bethany Biron:
  • Shell announced on Saturday it purchased Russian oil to prevent market interruptions and ensure supply security.
  • Shell previously said it would limit business with Russia, including divesting from Gazprom, a Russian majority state-owned energy company.
  • “We will continue to choose alternatives to Russian oil wherever possible, but this cannot happen overnight because of how significant Russia is to global supply,” Shell said.

In a statement shared to Twitter on Saturday, Shell said it made “the difficult decision” to buy the oil from Russia — the world’s third-largest oil producer and a major gas exporter to Europe — citing concerns over market interruptions and supply security. read more

Shell finance chief Jessica Uhl quits after oil supermajor’s move to London

Jessica Uhl cites ‘family reasons’ as she steps down

The respected finance chief who oversaw Shell’s historic relocation to London is leaving the company after almost two decades, having decided moving her own family to the UK long-term is “not sustainable”.

Uhl will be replaced by Sinead Gorman, a civil engineer by background who joined Shell in 1999 and steps up from her role as head of finance of its global upstream business. She will be based in London full-time. read more

FT: Shell joins BP in pullback from Russia

Neil Hume and Tom Wilson in London

Shell said it would end all three of its joint ventures with Kremlin-backed Gazprom, including its 27.5 per cent stake in the huge Sakhalin-2 liquefied natural gas project…

The company’s Russia business was already contentious for some staff, not least because four Shell employees were among those killed when Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 was shot down over Ukraine in 2014.

BP to dump 20 percent stake in Russian oil firm Rosneft after Putin’s ‘acts of aggression’

OIL GIANT BP has announced that they will be offloading their stake in a Russian state-owned oil company in response to the invasion of Ukraine.

By CHARLES HARRISON

The massive oil company has announced that it will be offloading its 19.75 percent stake in Russian state-owned oil company Rosneft.

BP Chairman Helge Lund said: “Russia’s attack on Ukraine is an act of aggression which is having tragic consequences across the region.”

It has led the bp board to conclude, after a thorough process, that our involvement with Rosneft, a state-owned enterprise, simply cannot continue.

Business Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng said he had left BP’s boss with “no doubt about the seriousness of government concerns about BP’s overexposure to Russian interests” after a meeting on Friday, according to an official. read more

Emily Gosden, Energy Editor: THE SUNDAY TIMES 

Shell may have to write off up to $1 billion that it has invested in the Nord Stream 2 pipeline after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine increased the likelihood that it may never be allowed to start up, analysts have warned.

The oil major has bankrolled 10 per cent of the cost of constructing the 750-mile pipeline under the Baltic Sea, which is designed to double the flow of gas from Russia directly to Germany.

The project, owned by Gazprom, the Russian state gas giant, has long been opposed by America on security grounds. Construction was completed in September, but it has not gained approval from Germany to start up. read more
