Shell Africa chief attacks Nigeria levies

USA USA USA: ABOUT TIME! With the continued number of offshore cases, deaths in the office, and impacts on production, it's a simple business decision. Expect a number of offshore folks will complain mightily, but not too different than the complaints for implementation of the life saving rules, flame retardant clothing, drug testing, etc...

COVID - Do the RIGHT THING!: I am sure that the Shell big bosses today had a lot to process with respect to the vaccine requirements. Offshore GOM, about half of the Shell staff based offshore have not "self declared" their vaccination status, while over 95% of the office based staff have. The operations teams have openly commented about the "risk" that people will leave if Shell or USCG required vaccinations for offshore work. On the other side of the coin, shutting in production for a few days on a TLP due to lack of healthy control room operators would suggest that we can afford to find people who will take the shot. There are so many skilled production operators that have lost employment in the last three years... just up the pay and fill the vacancies! Come on Shell do the right thing and make the vaccine a requirement - the safety of the staff has always been stated as the highest value. Any claim that this is a diversity and inclusiveness issue is a completely false narrative. Its like comparing it to respect people who choose to drive without a seatbelt, work at heights without fall protection, or don't wash their hands after using the toilet!

Moon Cracker: Well, if you are going to steal my name... I will change it to the other Penn Chem nickname. I remember some of the folks over their running through lots of potential names for "Penn Chem" - PCP, Beaver Cracker , Monaca Cracker, Moon Cracker, Moon Chemical, Franklin, etc. Really its just one of the biggest failures in BvB's many. (BG, Brazil, Prelude, LNG, etc.) next he will continue to sell the crown jewels for costume jewelry prices. At least the old dirty oil business is generating enough cash to keep the company standing with such terrible management decision making.

Beaver Cracker: The recent allegations highlight that the inspectors in charge of assuring safety and environmental protection on large pipeline projects are usually paid by the pipeline builders themselves. Critics say that creates a conflict of interest, but pipeline industry officials compare the practice to quality control in other areas of manufacturing. “The system isn’t set up to ensure experienced and accountable inspections,” said Shannon Smith of the FracTracker Alliance, a Pennsylvania-based energy watchdog group that has monitored Shell’s project.

Economic Growth = Environmental Recession: You can be SURE of HELL, sorry missed an ‘s’ SHELL

Very poor upload speeds: Unfortunately I was persuaded to switch to Shell Energy Broadband after a conversation with a staffer of USwitch, supposedly because download speeds were a little faster than PlusNet.

But what a bad decision! Upload speeds are truly terrible, and the download speeds struggle to get up to what they publicise. Its an indictment of USwitch advice that they failed to point out how much upload speeds can vary between providers and that you can be trading DOWN to a worse service.

Oh and I didn't even mention that the router they provided has disabled 'itself' off wireless twice already, the system having to be 'reset' at great inconvenience.

Do the sane thing - don't be tempted as I was to choose this provider.

USA USA USA: ok... it looks like Malaysia is next on the chopping block. piece by piece...

Beaver Cracker: Rather than fixing the problem, Shell ordered the whistleblowers off the project and the contractor fired the two inspectors. The couple’s allegations are contained in their whistleblower complaint filed with the Labor Department.

“We did our jobs, and we were harassed, abused, ridiculed, and humiliated. They said they’d been repeatedly warned they’d be “run off” if they kept pressing safety concerns.

Shell Energy will rip you off!!: If you want to be ripped off go to Shell Energy. I live in a one bed flat and they charged me £291 for 1 months electricity and sent me out a wrong bill for £1500 when it was only £800. Yes stress!

Oh i forgot i raised a complaint on 29th July of which no one got back to me so I called today to be offered £30 and 6 sorrys of so sorry mistakes happen.

The only saving grace was that the customer service rep was very good.

Either way Stay Away from Shell Energy!
