WikiLeaks Nigeria: Royal Dutch Shell embedded spies

Bogus Group: https://www.rigzone.com/news/tellurian_and_shell_finalize_10year_lng_deal-2-aug-2021-166089-article/?utm_campaign=WEEKLY_2021_08_06&utm_source=GLOBAL_ENG&utm_medium=EM_NW_F5 "Shell welcomed to Driftwood Project", this brings together some old acquaintances and invertebrates.

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!

Beaver Cracker: It is no surprise to read about the pipeline inspectors findings. Penn Chem has a checkered past with respect to negative findings in assurance and audit activities. Just dig into the earth works, water conduits, foundations, blasting damage, pressure vessel quality, etc. They have run off so many safety professional (and quality inspectors) until they found those who wouldn't rock the boat and let the contractors "get on with it". Not to mention the number who found opportunities elsewhere. Those left, are mostly happy to look the other way and collect the paycheck. All to make single use PE... BvB talks about the environment and safety. Can he walk it? Reshape demonstrates the strong commitment to eliminate independent S&E assurance activities, now that is a learner mindset twist on "inherent" safety!

Shell Penn Whistleblowers: Two former pipeline inspectors say they were fired for reporting hazards on a volatile liquids pipeline to Royal Dutch Shell PLC’s massive new petrochemical plant northwest of Pittsburgh. The inspectors, Frank Chamberlin and Susan D’Layne Carite, said they warned Shell managers and even federal regulators in 2019 that the anti-corrosion coating was defective on the company’s Falcon pipeline. That could increase the threat of corrosion, a leading cause of pipeline ruptures. https://www.eenews.net/articles/whistleblowers-say-bad-seeds-undermine-pipeline-safety/

USA USA USA: Does anyone have the list of Shell assets for sale this week? After the rumors of Aera / Permian, maybe Norco, Penn Chem, GOM, ... Whats next?
