Will Shell Finally Swallow BP?

This article was generated with the support of AI and reviewed by an editor for factual accuracy and satirical tone.

The fossil fuel fanfiction nobody asked for is back: Shell might finally devour BP — in what could become the biggest unholy alliance since, well… Shell and apartheid South Africa.

That’s right: after years of flirting and fumbling, the dirtiest merger fantasy in Big Oil is once again swirling through boardrooms and Bloomberg alerts.

Why now? Because activist hedge fund Elliott Management just bought a nearly 5% stake in BP and immediately demanded a boardroom bloodletting. Cue another round of speculation that Shell, Chevron, ADNOC, or some other oil-drunk conglomerate might swoop in and “rescue” BP from its decade-long identity crisis. read more

Sober Reflection

Sober Reflection

For over two decades, John Donovan has published articles on RoyalDutchShellPlc.com, relentlessly documenting Shell’s alleged misdeeds — from corporate espionage and environmental devastation to human rights violations and greenwashing on an industrial scale.

Some might ask: Can this all really be true? Could one of the world’s most powerful corporations, backed by billions in revenue and a global network of lawyers, really be this corrupt, this ruthless, and still get away with it?

Here’s something worth pondering: read more

Shell’s Plastic Palace of Lies: Welcome to the Cocoon of Corporate Greed

Pennsylvania Got a Toxic Temple Instead of Jobs — But Hey, BlackRock’s Still Cashing Dividends

Somewhere along the Ohio River, Shell built its shining monument to climate denial and capitalist overkill: an ethane cracker plant that turns fracked gas into plastic — because what the world clearly needs right now is more plastic.

Locals were promised an economic renaissance. What they got instead?

Foul air, poisoned water, 33 environmental violations, and the scent of yet another Shell masterclass in corporate betrayal.

“I have to live in a cocoon year-round,”

said local resident Nadine Luci, who probably didn’t envision her American Dream involving respiratory issues, constant dread, and chemically laced air fresheners. read more

WTF Is Shell Whining About Now? Australia Dares Suggest Gas Should Help Australians—Cue Oil Giant Meltdown

Enter Irina Woodhead, a former Shell technical safety engineer who had the audacity to suggest that maybe—just maybe—ignoring safety protocols on a floating gas bomb was a bad idea. She raised concerns about Prelude’s emergency protocols, only to be shown the door faster than you can say “whistleblower retaliation.

Ah, Shell. The oil-stained poster child of unhinged corporate greed, environmental catastrophe, and staggering audacity. Alongside its equally charming BFFs ExxonMobil and Chevron, Shell is now losing its ever-loving mind over a radical, totally outlandish proposal: that some of the gas they’re hoarding and shipping offshore might actually be used to keep Australians warm and the lights on.

You know, in Australia. Where the gas comes from.

But don’t worry, Shell’s top brass is here to explain why that’s a very bad idea—for them, obviously. read more

Shell’s $1.6 Billion Russian Legal Nightmare: From Sakhalin to SNAFU

25 March 2025

The ultimate sin stock just can’t catch a break — especially not when it abandoned a gas project, got sued by Russia, and now pretends none of it was their fault.

Oh dear, Shell. Yet another chapter in the never-ending “Oops, Did We Do That?” saga of one of the world’s most polluting, profit-obsessed corporations. This time, it’s Moscow calling — and they’d like $1.6 billion, please.

In its latest annual report, Shell confirmed that a Russian prosecutor has sued not one, but eight Shell group entities — including Shell plc and Shell Energy Europe Limited (SEEL) — over alleged unpaid gas deliveries from 2022. The plaintiff? Good ol’ Gazprom Export, the Kremlin’s favorite fossil-fueled blunt instrument. read more

WTF is Shell Up to Now? A “Safety Drill” at the Monaca Cracker Plant?

Wed, 19 March 2025

Ah, Shell—the benevolent, community-loving, totally-not-environmentally-disastrous oil behemoth—wants you to know they care. So much so that their Monaca, PA Cracker Plant, the one that belches out plastic pellets and pollutants like a chain-smoker at an open-bar wedding, is holding an “emergency response drill” today at noon.

What’s the emergency? That’s a great question! Maybe it’s the toxic emissions, maybe it’s the air pollution that’s been raising alarm bells, or maybe it’s just another PR stunt to make it seem like they’re doing something other than poisoning the planet while raking in obscene profits. Because let’s not forget, this plant is part of Shell’s grand plan to flood the world with even more plastic—just what the planet desperately doesn’t need.

And hey, if you have any questions about their noble efforts, feel free to dial 844-776-5581. Maybe ask them about the air quality in the area, or how much of that lovely ethane cracker pollution is ending up in the Ohio River. Or better yet, inquire about how this multi-billion-dollar facility is doing its part to accelerate climate change while pretending to be a “good neighbour.” read more

Shell’s Historical Ties to Nazi Germany (1930s–1940s)

Shell’s Historical Ties to Nazi Germany (1930s–1940s): In Shell’s case, the absence of an apology or restitution for its Nazi collaboration remains a point of contention that the company may eventually be forced to confront as part of repairing its public image.

RESEARCH CARRIED OUT IN MARCH 2025

Sources: Historical investigations, corporate archives, and recent analyses were used to compile these findings. Key references include Shell’s own commissioned History of Royal Dutch Shell (which details the company’s activities during 1933–45), journalism by researchers like Marriott, Macalister, and Donovan, and reports from outlets such as openDemocracy and The Guardian that discuss the ethical implications of Shell’s WWII involvement.

• Financial Support: Royal Dutch Shell’s leadership had deep ties with Nazi Germany. Sir Henri Deterding, a co-founder and long-time chairman of Shell, was an open admirer of Adolf Hitler and reportedly provided significant financial backing to the Nazi Party in the early 1930s. Shell’s funding was so substantial that it “saved the Nazi Party” from financial ruin before World War II. read more

Shell’s Toxic Playground: Pennsylvania’s Lucky Residents Get a Front-Row Seat to Pollution

Who Needs Clean Air When You Can Have Plastic?

Great news, everyone! If you live near Shell’s monstrous petrochemical complex in western Pennsylvania, you now have a fun new website to track the toxins floating through your air! That’s right—thanks to Shell repeatedly violating its air pollution permit (because following basic environmental laws is just too much to ask), a local advocacy group has launched a real-time air monitoring project to let residents know exactly what kind of filth they’re breathing in.

The Beaver County Marcellus Awareness Community (BCMAC) has introduced “Eyes on Air”, a website displaying data from five new air monitors placed near Shell’s plastic-churning nightmare in Monaca, Pennsylvania. The monitors continuously track particulate matter, benzene, toluene, and other delightful air pollutants, giving residents real-time insights on whether it’s safe to step outside—or if today’s air is best enjoyed through a gas mask. read more

Shell + BP: The Toxic Love Story

Wall Street’s Favorite Polluters Get Cozy, Because Who Needs a Planet Anyway?

BP, ever the corporate chameleon, has decided that even pretending to care about the environment is too much effort. After a brief and laughable flirtation with “green energy,” the oil giant is doing what it does best—doubling down on fossil fuels. And guess who’s cheering them on? None other than Wall Street’s financial overlord, Elliott Management. Because when your primary investors are the same hedge fund sharks who see ethics as an optional extra, saving the planet seems downright unprofitable. read more

Shell’s Oil Slick Justice For Spilling 1.5 Million Tons of Crude

Shell. The ever-benevolent corporate giant tirelessly works to maximize shareholder returns while generously bestowing oil spills upon communities that never asked for them. The latest twist in this decades-long environmental horror show? The Ogale and Bille communities of Nigeria—just 50,000 people whose land, water, and livelihoods have been poisoned by Shell’s operations—are finally getting their day in a UK courtroom. And naturally, Shell is fighting tooth and nail to avoid paying for the devastation it caused. read more

Shell’s Latest Con: Selling Stolen Oil Fields Like a Used Car Lot Clearance

Shell’s fingerprints are all over the brutal military crackdown that led to the execution of Ken Saro-Wiwa and eight other activists in 1995. The bones of thousands more Ogoni people—murdered, displaced, and left to suffer—are a permanent testament to Shell’s legacy.

Ah, Shell. The oil giant that never met a community it couldn’t exploit, an environment it couldn’t pollute, or a public trust it couldn’t shatter. This time, the corporate behemoth—backed by some of the world’s most “ethical” investors like BlackRock and Vanguard—is at it again, pulling off what can only be described as a multimillion-dollar magic trick: selling off Ogoni oil fields in Nigeria for a neat $2.4 billion. Because nothing screams corporate responsibility quite like profiting off stolen resources, right? read more

BP + Shell: A Merger of Big Oil, Bigger Lies, and Corporate Espionage

(article exposing Shell BP spying operations)

BP + Shell: A Merger of Big Oil and Corporate Espionage: When Spying on Environmentalists Just Isn’t Enough, Merge and Double the Surveillance!

Forget the usual corporate greed—if BP and Shell merge, they won’t just be pooling their oil assets, they’ll be consolidating their dirty tricks, too. Because what’s better than one morally bankrupt fossil fuel giant? Two, working together to crush dissent, spy on activists, and ensure the climate crisis is well-funded for decades to come.

BP + Shell: More Than Just Oil Profiteers—They’re Professional Spymasters, Too

Both BP and Shell have spent decades using the shady London-based intelligence firm Hakluyt to spy on activists, journalists, and anyone else who dares to question their environmental destruction. While Greenpeace and other climate groups were busy warning the world about the climate crisis, BP and Shell were busy infiltrating them. read more

NOPSEMA Slaps Shell with a Damning Safety Notice for Prelude FLNG

Because Who Needs Worker Safety When There’s Money to Be Made?

Shell Australia has been officially called out (again) for its staggering incompetence and complete disregard for worker safety after an inspection of its disaster-prone Prelude FLNG facility revealed that workers were being exposed to hazardous, cancer-causing gases.

The National Offshore Petroleum Safety and Environmental Management Authority (NOPSEMA) has issued Improvement Notice No. 1967, making it painfully clear that Shell has been ignoring serious health risks for years and will likely continue to do so unless forced to take action.

What Did NOPSEMA Find?

Let’s break down the most alarming findings from the regulator’s scathing report:

Shell Has Known About This for Years

Workers have been reporting strong odours and health symptoms for an extended period, yet Shell has done nothing to fix the issue. Employees have experienced lung and eye irritation, which are classic symptoms of hydrogen sulphide and benzene exposure—but rather than act, Shell management has ignored complaints and let the risks persist. read more

Shell and Exxon’s Gas Profits Shake Groningen—Literally

Nothing Says “Sustainable Business” Like an Earthquake Every Few Months

It’s another day, another earthquake in Groningen, where decades of reckless gas extraction by Shell and ExxonMobil’s joint venture, NAM, have left the ground as unstable as their ethical standards. This time, a 2.2 magnitude quake hit the town of Usquert just after midnight, shaking homes, rattling windows, and waking residents with a hard, dull thud. Coincidentally, that’s also the sound of Shell executives ignoring accountability.

“Induced Earthquakes”: Just a Fancy Term for Corporate Destruction

The KNMI meteorological institute wasted no time in confirming what everyone already knew: this was an “induced earthquake,” meaning it wasn’t some random act of nature—it was a direct consequence of Shell and ExxonMobil sucking every last drop of gas from the earth, leaving behind a crumbling foundation. read more

Shell on Trial: The Oil Giant That Poisoned Nigeria Now Faces Justice—If It Can’t Buy Its Way Out

Because Profits Matter More Than Human Lives, Right?

Shell—the undisputed champion of pollution, corporate greed, and dodging responsibility—is finally being forced to answer for its decades of devastation in Nigeria’s Niger Delta. On February 13, 2025, the High Court in London opened proceedings against the oil giant, as the Bille and Ogale communities fight to hold Shell accountable for the destruction of their land, water, and livelihoods.

Decades of Spills, Zero Accountability

The 50,000 people living in these communities have spent years living with Shell’s toxic legacy—hundreds of oil spills from Shell’s pipelines, leaving their water undrinkable, their farmland useless, and their health in ruins. And despite making billions in profits from Nigeria’s oil, Shell has offered nothing in terms of compensation or cleanup. Absolutely nothing. read more

Shell on Trial: The Oil Giant That Poisoned Nigeria and Cashed In

Because Who Needs Ethics When You Have Billions?

Once again, Shell—the ultimate sin stock, planetary arsonist, and poster child for corporate greed—finds itself in a UK courtroom, forced to answer for decades of devastation, pollution, and suffering in Nigeria.

On Thursday, as thousands of people sued Shell and its Nigerian subsidiary, SPDC, over catastrophic oil spills in the Niger Delta, protesters gathered outside London’s High Court to remind the world that Shell’s business model is built on ruining lives, destroying ecosystems, and dodging accountability. read more
