Big carbon? Oil majors turn to nature to help plug revenue gap
By Shadia Nasralla:
LONDON (Reuters) – Oil companies such as BP and Shell are nurturing nature as a future revenue stream, betting on an expected rise in carbon credit prices as their fossil fuel profits ebb.
European oil majors say investing in projects to create more credits is simply good business, offering new revenue streams at a time when oil prices have collapsed and appetite for new exploration evaporates.
Worst company in UK, avoid this company as they rob customers. They charged £1800 for 9 months for 2 bedrooms house. Online they offer fixed tariff £74 per month once you on board they triple the charges…

Shell in exclusive talks to buy Post Office broadband arm
LaToya HardingContributor
The deal is expected to cost Shell less than £100m ($133m) and will likely take weeks to finalise.
The Post Office’s broadband arm has around 500,000 customers.
A source close to the Post Office said it would ensure that no postmaster is out of pocket as a result of the sale, with its telecoms arm accounting to just 0.3% of their total pay during the last financial year, the broadcaster said.
Uncontactable: Been trying to get hold of them since joining them 2 months ago to no avail. Never answer the phone, online chat queue over 50 long. Resolver complaints procedure absolutely useless. Can get through to sales, but not customer service or complaints! Switching to Shell is one of my biggest regrets this year!

There are many parallels to be drawn between Shell and the one unbeatable Manchester United. Both are now mid table. Weak manager, senior players who are arrogant and only play for money, and have got rid of their most hard working players. Shell better get used to mediocrity. It doesn’t care at all about climate change but Van Beurden will no doubt continue to sell more of the crown jewels to greenwash its reputation like the loony who heads BP.
“Fictitious enormous bills making me ill: I’ve looked on Facebook and can see lots of other people being overcharged and put in debt by hundreds to thousands. I’m very stressed and this is too much on top of a tough year. They should be made accountable for what they are doing.”

Shell Australia and unions to commence formal EBA bargaining
In August, Shell Australia urged its workforce to move to a new fly-in, fly-out, roster which would see FIFO staff work four weeks at a time. The AWU and MUA described it as a “suicide roster” and raised concerns that workers would not see enough of their families. Shell offered a one-off payment of $50,000 to workers who took up the new roster. Prior to this, unions raised concerns that Shell was outsourcing work to India instead of offering Australian workers employment.
Australia’s LNG exports at nine-month high
Published date: 03 December 2020
…the Shell-operated…Prelude floating LNG venture remaining off line. The plant offshore Western Australia is unlikely to restart before next year, and has been off line since February.
Australia’s LNG exports rose to a nine-month high of 7.04mn t in October, driven by record shipments from the Queensland port of Gladstone.
Total LNG shipments increased from 6.22mn t in September when the LNG plants at Gladstone were undertaking significant maintenance. The increase to 7.04mn t, which is just below the record monthly high of 7.22mn t set in January, comes despite the Shell-operated 3.6mn t/yr Prelude floating LNG venture remaining off line. The plant offshore Western Australia is unlikely to restart before next year, and has been off line since February.

Nigeria oilfield sale to Eni, Shell was legally ‘perfect’, says ex-oil minister lawyerMILAN, Dec 2 (Reuters) – The sale of a Nigerian oilfield to Eni and Royal Dutch Shell was legally “perfect” and there was no proof of any corruption, a lawyer for former Nigerian oil minister Dan Etete said on Wednesday.
Antonio Secci told a Milan court that prosecutors in the case had been unable to show exactly what role Etete was meant to have had in the alleged corruption of Nigerian public officials – if he had corrupted politicians or had simply been an intermediary between the two majors and the Abuja government.

Shell begins permanent shutdown of Convent, Louisiana, refinery
By Erwin Seba: DECEMBER 2, 2020
HOUSTON (Reuters) – Royal Dutch Shell Plc began the permanent shutdown of its 211,146 barrel-per-day (bpd) Convent, Louisiana refinery, the company said on Tuesday.
Sources familiar with plant operations told Reuters the permanent shutdown of the refinery, which Shell has been unable to sell as fuel demand has been hammered in the COVID-19 pandemic, began on Monday night.
“We’re engaged in a phased shutdown of Convent and (will) take all of the time necessary to safely accomplish that,” said Shell spokesman Curtis Smith in an email on Tuesday.
Shell Wants Its Oil Refineries to Make Things You Don’t Burn
Bloomberg News: 2 December 2020, 07:51 GMT
Royal Dutch Shell Plc has a plan to reduce its carbon emissions — sell fewer products its customers can burn.
The European energy giant is reconfiguring — and shrinking — its refining and petrochemicals business to focus less on fuel that is combusted and emits greenhouse gases, and more on the chemicals, lubricants and bitumen that keep carbon trapped inside them, Huibert Vigeveno, the company’s downstream director, said in an interview at the BloombergNEF summit in Shanghai.
