Extract from an article published in October 1938 under the headline “Peace Planners Named.”
Greenwich, Conn., Oct. 25. —Whyte Williams, former foreign news correspondent and editor of Greenwich Time, published yesterday a list of those whom he claimed were 12 leading members of a London group who purportedly arranged the peace of Munich between Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain and Fuehrer Adolf Hitler.
Sir Henri Deterding, described as head of the Royal Dutch Shell Oil company, was said to be one of the 12 members of the group.

: If Prelude is planning to complete a swivel swap out or repair, it is at least 3 months of work. But that is for a typical NS FPSO, the massive Prelude unit is one of a kind. And no spares were manufactured with 2 production paths. (Operating one at temporary high rates could be done.) Based on the news reports it sounds like both production swivels have failed or have leakage into the secondary containment system. Possibly due to the delays in operation? But this is just one piece of the puzzle. Putting the entire upstream processing facility, gas conditioning, liquefaction, storage and export on one site is just asking for problems. You can not comply with NFPA 59A separation distances...
: Prelude again
Wonder if the Shell Australia Chairman is still pleased with the “progress being made”.

: https://www.energyvoice.com/oilandgas/271096/petrofac-new-ceo-asfari-retire/ The revolving door continues to spin, BG Group / Shell ‘executive’ demonstrates cronyism is alive and flourishing. Yes, this was the COO that believed corporate projects could be controlled under (what was eventually validated to be flawed) the Value Assurance process, while he sampled corporate hospitality and champagne at Wimbledon.

: Looking at the senior executive org charts revealed last week, seems there is not a lot of “Reshape” at that level... Looks like the worker bees will be sacrificed again...
: Looks like Stacey Orlandi never stays long enough in one job for very long. I suppose long enough to be seen and then off to the next one. I wonder what she left behind for others to clear up? Neither did Walter or Malcolm and see where that got us.
The point I find difficult to swallow is her role as Refinery Manager. After two years in procurement in an office somewhere she spends a year as a production Manager and then become THE refinery manager of the Cherry Point Refinery, capable of refining 250k barrels a day plus converting Diesel from biomass etc, a large and complex plant.
Anyway, we shall see.
: Bogus Group, hopefully the Executives will be 'executed' and we will be saying 'goodbye' to these worthless, low integrity, sociopaths to whom probity is alien.
: Does the statement “It is very painful to know that you will end up saying goodbye to quite a few good people. I know I, and many others in Shell, will be saying goodbye to people we know well and really like and who have great loyalty to the company” mean that executives will be saying goodbye to good people, or good people will be saying goodbye to executives?

: USA USA USA. BG Group was an Internet Cafe and Cappuccino Lifestyle company that could not get its ducks lined up in a row for the simple reason that it didn't know what a duck is. In consequence, its goose was cooked.
