Posting on Shell Blog by a Shell Insider (a reliable high level source known to us)
Having seen all the EC-1 and -2 appointments and from many discussions I have with colleagues, it has become clear to me that Voser and Brinded et all want to get rid of critical thinking people in general and Petroleum Engineers in particular, i.e. just the people who have know-how on essential matters such as reserves and production forecasting.
The reserves reporting is now solidly in the hands of lawyers so easy to manipulate for Brinded (above). The overoptimistic production forecasting, a great hobby of our beloved and surpreme leader in Upstream, will now go unchallenged by people with genuine know-how.

Erin Brockovich goes after Shell Oil in Carson

Environmental activist Erin Brockovich (right) has agreed to pursue litigation against Shell Oil Co. for contaminating a Carson housing tract.
Shell recently discovered elevated levels of methane and benzene underneath the Carousel neighborhood. The contamination has been traced to underground oil tanks the company operated on the site until the 1960s.
Girardi and Keese, the law firm that works with Brockovich, held a meeting with about 300 residents Saturday in Carson to recruit clients for a lawsuit against Shell, which could be filed as soon as November.
Interior Dept. institutes ethics program
The departments conduct has been called into question several times during the past several years, including a controversial oil payment scheme, and a corruption investigation of George W. Bushs Interior chief Gale Norton over her support of oil-shale exploration by a Royal Dutch Shell subsidiary months before the oil giant hired her as a legal counsel.
Shell Chief Ethics Officer Richard Wiseman Refutes Accusations
The statement that "Shell has never been involved in atomic or nuclear research at the Thornton site or elsewhere in the U.K." appears to be at odds with allegations made by former Shell employee James Featherstone, in a letter he sent on 2 May 2009 to Detective Inspector Nick Sumner c/o Homicide & Serious Crime Command at New Scotland Yard.
Pecten Shines at Shell
Issue Date: CSP Daily News, September 21, 2009
HOUSTON — Shell unveiled its new “visual identity standard” for Shell retail sites. Updating the company’s Retail Visual Identity (RVI) designed in 1992, the new lookdubbed RVIeis “an evolutionary change,” according to spokesperson Michael Clingan.“RVIe maintains the core branding colors in a refreshed and modernized look to ensure that Shell continues to express fuel leadership yet it can naturally integrate with the existing network of RVI sites,” he told CSP Daily News. “Additionally, RVIe reduces costs to the business through the simplification of the Shell curviness to more modern proportions and angles which is easier to implement and manage.”
Highlights of the RVIe Design are:

The false bravado of Shell Ethics Chief Richard Wiseman
John Donovan
In an email dated 11 November 2005, Shell International General Counsel Richard Wiseman (now the Chief Ethics & Compliance Officer of Royal Dutch Shell Plc) dismissed our website in the following words:
“The extraordinary tolerance shown to your internet activities ought to demonstrate better than anything else the fact that we are uninterested in, and unmoved by, your current activities.”
Wiseman’s bravado was undermined by the fact that we already had evidence to the contrary from an email about us that he sent on 24 June 2004 to Shell CEO Jeroen van der Veer and his fellow Executive director, Malcolm Brinded. Wiseman informed them that he was contacting Sir Mark Moody-Stuart (a former Shell Group Chairman) about us. Wiseman’s email (supplied to us by a high level insider source) also confirmed that Shell “PX” was briefed and ready to react behind the scenes to our activities.
Putin to meet global majors on Yamal gas projects

How timely from Dilbert. It might just be that Gale Norton was hired this way
From a Shell insider
How timely from Dilbert. It might just be that Gale Norton was hired this way. Two stomps of the hoof: hire her. Three stomps of the hoof: sign-on bonus, retention bonus and guaranteed exit bonus.
But knowing Shell, there has to be a process with records, protocols, tickmarks in square boxes and all these things leave traces.
And all this nonsense to get access to some acreage that will never be used because it simply is too costly and devastating on the environment. But that was another department .
Delta Farce: Nigeria’s Oil Mess
The lack of development has left many young people unemployed and frustrated. In August, a new militant group emerged. It calls itself the Urhobo Revolutionary Army, after the ethnic group based primarily in the Delta. The group has taken credit for the August bombing of a Shell-run gas plant.

Justice targets Bush Cabinet official in probe
By JOHN HEILPRIN AND DINA CAPPIELLO
WASHINGTON The Justice Department has launched an investigation into whether former Interior Secretary Gale A. Norton illegally used her position to steer lucrative oil leases to Royal Dutch Shell PLC, the company she works for now, officials with both departments confirmed to The Associated Press.
The criminal investigation is focused on a 2006 decision by the Interior Department to award three oil shale leases on federal land in Colorado to a Shell subsidiary. Oil from the leases could eventually earn the company hundreds of billions dollars.
