Shell expects hostile takeover bids

Bogus Group: https://trinidadexpress.com/business/local/shell-takes-biggest-hit/article_ca33aea4-73d5-11eb-8a6e-ff41b564d669.html It's surely been proven that BG proven reserves were not actually proven and that Shell did inherit a 'pig in the poke'. The statement “Our preference is to deal with these arrangements, not in a clandestine way but there is a deeper confidentiality to it. We have these arrangements all over the world. We need to ensure that we maintain a degree of confidentiality but what I will confirm is that hundreds of millions of US dollars converts to billions of TT dollars and we have confirmed that Trinidad will benefit to billions,”beggars belief.

Bonus Group: It is not clear why the once upon a time VP Developments, Brazil is now VP Subsurface Excellence, given that the Brazil Asset under her stewardship spent at least five years down a giant rabbit hole using a corrupt workflow that resulted in a significant overbooking of reserves.

Bonus Group: On this day in 2016 the fate of BG Group, an Internet Cafe and Cappuccino Lifestyle company was sealed.

Bonus Group: John, Re:Links between Samuel Iskander and corruption Dave Freeman currently Chief Operating Officer at privately owned Tailwind Energy and previously Upstream Technical Director (COO Office) at BG Group should be able to answer your question. REPLY BY JOHN:

Many thanks, I will pass that information on to the investigative contact.

John Donovan: POSTED ON BEHALF OF AN INVESTIGATIVE CONTACT:

Newly former Shell executive Sami Iskander has been appointed CEO to London-traded energy company Petrofac, which is facing corruption allegations in Italy and from the U.K.'s SFO. The question is whether Iskander, who was one of only four executives from British Gas retained by Shell when the two merged in 2015, brings any baggage with him?

Why Mr. Iskander and not someone else? Conversely, why would he want to join such an embattled company? Are there any indications that his time at BG or Shell was less than spotless in terms of possible corruption, to include cover-ups or just looking the other way? Does he have any hidden ties with Petrofac or its outgoing CEO Ayman Asfari?

In general, what kind of a reputation does this man have in the London energy business community?

Bonus Group: The long overdue structural reorganisation at Shell is rapidly approaching. No better place to start than within the Brazil Asset which has been propped-up for over ten years now by the same BG Group sycophants who have a proven track record of overbooking reserves on the basis of flawed functionall approved technical workflows. These individuals are still clinging desperately to their positions five years after the takeover of BG Group by Shell. Can it be that Shell cannot afford to move them on lest their poor work and lies be revealed? Get rid of them, truth and transparency are now required if not demanded in the Brasil Asset!

Bogus Group: More BG Group (Shell) executive 'turmoil'. Just love the "stepping down with immediate effect for personal reasons" euphemism.

Bogus Group: 330 job cuts in Aberdeen, with the new rhetoric by a Shell 'spokesperson', "this intends to ensure we are set up to thrive throughout the energy transition and be a simpler organisation". https://www.upstreamonline.com/exploration/330-job-cuts-oil-giant-shell-lays-out-losses-to-uk-team/2-1-942991
