Can't imagine what prompted this move: "Earlier this year, a court in the Netherlands ruled that by 2030 Shell must cut its CO2 emissions by 45% compared to 2019 levels.” This only applies to the Netherlands

U17881151: 10:48 15 Nov The truth is corporations are concerned about EU bureaucratic interference. We saw with AstraZenica that the EU will block trade if they believe it gives them an advantage. Google and other tech companies are increasingly being fined billions to fund EU wages and pensions. The EU is a bit anti business. It would be better to just focus on trade and creating friendly partnerships.

Ditching Dutch: Shell turns its back on Royal Dutch heritage after climate ruling and dividend tax Shell's jumping ship to the UK bids farewell to over 130 years of association with the Dutch monarchy https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2021/11/15/turns-back-royal-dutch-heritage-climate-ruling-dividend-tax/

Insider: Joe Lycett should talk to his friend Jimmy Carr about Shell. Jimmy worked in Shell marketing dept during the 1990s at Shell Mex House in the Strand.

Rick K.: All I can say is that I worked on the Rigs onshore and offshore with almost every major oil company in the world. And by far Shell was the best. The most Professional, Safest and I should add treated all the workers the best. The worst BP.

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.
