The massive oil company has announced that it will be offloading its 19.75 percent stake in Russian state-owned oil company Rosneft.
BP Chairman Helge Lund said: “Russia’s attack on Ukraine is an act of aggression which is having tragic consequences across the region.”
It has led the bp board to conclude, after a thorough process, that our involvement with Rosneft, a state-owned enterprise, simply cannot continue.
Business Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng said he had left BP’s boss with “no doubt about the seriousness of government concerns about BP’s overexposure to Russian interests” after a meeting on Friday, according to an official.read more

BP to offload stake in Russian oil firm Rosneft
BBC Breaking News: 27 Feb 2022
BP is to offload its 19.75% stake in Russian state-owned oil firm Rosneft after Russia’s “act of aggression in Ukraine”.
The oil giant had come under pressure from the UK government to make the move since Thursday’s invasion.
It has held the shareholding in the Russian company since 2013.
BP chief executive Bernard Looney has resigned “with immediate effect” from the Rosneft board, as has fellow BP-nominated director Bob Dudley.read more
Shell may have to write off up to $1 billion that it has invested in the Nord Stream 2 pipeline after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine increased the likelihood that it may never be allowed to start up, analysts have warned.
The oil major has bankrolled 10 per cent of the cost of constructing the 750-mile pipeline under the Baltic Sea, which is designed to double the flow of gas from Russia directly to Germany.
The project, owned by Gazprom, the Russian state gas giant, has long been opposed by America on security grounds. Construction was completed in September, but it has not gained approval from Germany to start up.read more

Shell Faces U.K. Showdown Over Impact of ‘Cataclysmic’ Oil Spill
Communities claim impact of spill not felt until years later
Shell said it’s implausible, damage is from other pollutants
By Katharine Gemmell: 26 February 2022, 08:32 GMT
A group of Nigerians want a trial against Royal Dutch Shell Plc in the U.K. for what they allege was a “cataclysmic” oil spill that wreaked havoc on their communities years later.
The pollution was caused by oil from the so-called Bonga Spill in 2011 but was only felt following flooding and storms three to four years after the initial mishap, say lawyers for Harrison Jalla and Abel Chujor, the two lead claimants in the lawsuit.read more

Shell boss blames hedge funds and speculators for sending gas prices to record highs and adding to volatility that has seen dozens of energy firms collapse
Shell said huge sums moving in and out of the market were causing volatility
Despite this, insisted prices were still largely influenced by supply and demand
The price of gas is currently 173 pence per therm, up from 49 in January 2021
Hedge funds and financial speculators piling into the European gas market have contributed to high and volatile prices over the past year, according to Shell.
The energy giant said the movement of large amounts of money in and out of the market meant prices were less linked to actual supply and demand.read more

Shell mucked up everything: Worst Company EverI used to be with Post Office broadband, had the unfortunate situation to be sold to Shell, mucked up everything about swapping over, meant to have caller Id for personal reasons did not happen, another muck up cannot get through to customer lack of service had to cancel DD to hopefully get resolution but will impact my credit rating, do not use this company awful.
Thank you for your reply but I am not prepared to wait the usual 50 minutes to try to get through to your customer line, sure it helps your profits.
I have to work to pay my bills and calling during work hours is not appropriate, to prove your excellent customer service, tongue in cheek sort my caller Id within 24 hours lol, also guarantee no interruption in service and my credit rating won’t be impacted I might change my mind
After leaving a previous negative review about how bad shell energy is Shell replied asking for my account number so that they could investigate..so l did provide it however l haven't heard a thing from them. This was a number of months ago and yet again another example of how poor Shell is. Absolutely shocking service.
Shell Broadband charged me £108 to cancel when my mum died because the account was in my name. Then they kept adding more charges even though their email said no extra fees would be added. 1hr 32mins to cancel the service & passed to 4 different departments - it was as if no one had ever been bereaved before. Then no reply to my email via their online help, followed by over 1 hr on their online chat. I would avoid Shell Broadband.
So after 7 months I still haven’t got my account sorted with shell, I have rang so many times to try and get it sorted and just get fobbed off every time!! Finally got a settlement figure off them of £900 odd and said I will contact another energy company to get swapped over, check our account today and my settlement figure has gone from £900 to now £1900 with in a week!!!
Iv asked to speak to a manager a number of time and get told they are in a meeting they will call you back, guess what not once have they rang me back!!
How they government allow companies like this to treat there customers they way iv been treated is a joke.
Do not sign up with these clowns you will regret it I promise, iv had nothing but sleepless night over the last month worrying about the price increase and they clearly don’t give a dam about how this is effecting me.
Is it to much to ask for a company to do the right thing and get an issue resolved as soon as possible not 7 month down the line, although this still isn’t sorted
Have spent nearly 3 hours today trying to get an overpayment issue resolved. Long waiting times (30 to 40 mins) then have spoken to 4 different people who have 1. cut me off, 2. put me on to another person who knows nothing about what I have just spent 10 minutes discussing, 3. put me on hold while reading the file (gave up waiting after 30 mins) and 4. said he would put me through to the right person within 3 minutes but didn't. I despair!
This firm run by a complete incompetent…: This firm run by a complete incompetent have 0 customer care
Jodie Eaton hides like a frightened mouse behind automated phone lines that ur on forever so she doesn't have to be held for her mass company incompetence another grossly overpaid corporate Head miss charging customers. Contact me if you got the guts Jodie
Took them over three months to correct an error in my bill. Ignored my emails throughout and only corrected it after many phone calls. I'm now trying to get a refund from them in the form of a cheque. They keep sending the cheque to the wrong address despite my phoning them up 4 times and giving them the right address. Genuinely the worst company I've ever dealt with in terms of customer service. What makes it worse is I never chose to use them and was transferred to them after Green Energy collapsed. Will never use them again once I receive my refund.
Not only are they ripping me off with illegal energy price rises covered up by accounting for them as near doubling of the standing charge. But they are now antagonizing me further with pathetic customer service. I can download my latest bill but its corrupted so I can't read it. So I have to contact customer services. Firstly I tried the online chat and was connected to an idiot bot then left hanging for ages and gave up and decided to call. Their phone system must have been designed by a moron who wants to antagonize me as much as possible with menu after menu after menu before not connecting me to a human but leaving just hanging on until I finally gave up. Why don't Shell try spending some of their obscene earnings on looking after their customers?
I have just tried emailing them from their website, its another total disaster area where it blocks my trying to send an email by forcing me to pick a totally unconnected topic from a drop down menu, which then starts me off on another totally unconnected route. Morons!!!!
Passed to shell energy from pure planet. Didn't transfer over credit, unhelpful call centre staff, horrible call centre waiting times blamed on covid but obviously understaffed.
If I could give minus 5 stars i really would. I didnt ask to join shell energy, sadly i was transferred over from green energy. The new rate for electricity set by ofgem is 28p
per kwh, shell have decided for what ever reason to charge me 31.5 pence per KWH. Goodbye Shell energy.
Was moved to Shell energy kept getting estimated bills despite assurances that they could read my meters even complaints team misled me by saying we can read both your meters, then another overestimated bill today. When I called them was told can't read your meter. This has been going on for ages. Appalling service
Listen and read proof in audio and transcript form of Shell CEO Ben van Beurden’s cover-up tactics in the OPL 245 Nigerian corruption scandal. The instruction given by him in the covertly recorded call to CFO Simon Henry was at odds with Shell’s claimed core business principles. Cover-up and obstruction, instead of transparency and integrity, says Shell critic John Donovan
