Shell’s Brazil Wells Come Up Dry

Three exploration wells that Shell has drilled in Brazil in hopes of making the next big discovery have come up dry, Bloomberg has reported, citing an analyst with Wood Mackenzie.

This latest turn of events adds to bad news for Brazil and supermajors’ plans to turn it into the next hot spot in oil.

Shell and several partners paid $1 billion for drilling rights for three offshore blocks in Brazil and spent three years drilling exploratory wells. None of them turned up commercially viable volumes of oil, Marcelo de Assis, chief of Latin America upstream research at Wood Mackenzie, told Bloomberg. read more

Absolutely awful customer service

Absolutely awful customer service. Broadband has never worked, refuse to let you cancel or refund you. Long waiting times to speak to anyone yet cant ring you when you report an issue!

Yet again disgusted with this company

Yet again disgusted with this company. I have contacted them regarding my energy bills going up and up and each month they want more and more. I live alone don’t use my oven anymore only shower twice a week wash up in the sink use my washing machine once a fortnight, I pay £110 per month and now I amin debit. They do not answer my emails and if I am ever luckily enough to speak to a agent I can’t understand them as they are mainly Indian and having hearing problems it’s very very difficult. I am aware of the situation but my neighbour uses much more energy than me and has 2 at home and visitors nearly every weekend using all his entertainment facilities. He is with British Gas and only paying £80 a month. How do you think I feel when I see what profits they have made in a few months and yet I suffer daily worrying. I might as well be dead and I’m sure when the next rise I energy comes and winter I will be I just can’t continue they are a totally disgusting and terrible company I wish I could move to someone else who cares and helps pensioners suffering I also on a debt management plan since losing my husband suddenly. I didn’t want to give them any stars I would love to give minus but you don’t give us the facility to do this. A money grabbing load of lying hypocrites a blood sucking vile company. They are ruining any sort of I should at the age of 81. read more

Absolutely useless. My 80 year old mother has been constantly chased by them for payments she has already made and threatened with being cut off – happens every month. When you try and phone customer services they don’t know what they’re doing – you have to wait over 45 minutes to get through and they usually cut you off anyway. It’s nothing short of harassment – I’ve never known such a useless company read more

Windfall tax on Energy Giants Shell and BP?

The Telegraph

Energy bosses are provoking Sunak into another ruinous tax raid

BP chief executive may live to regret calling his company a ‘cash machine’: Shell unveiled a quadrupling of profits and a bumper payout for shareholders. Chief Ben van Beurden sounded cock-a-hoop. It had been “a momentous year”, he declared.

: CHIEF CITY COMMENTATOR:

You’ve got to hand it to the bosses of Britain’s energy giants. The response of the industry’s top figures to growing calls from the Labour Party, trade unions, and eco-activists for a windfall tax has been so risible that a Conservative Government is now said to be warming to the idea, having repeatedly ruled it out. read more

Shell Energy Broadband – Don’t do it!

Shell Energy Broadband have to be the worst company I’ve ever had the mis-fortune to deal with. I was moved from the Post Office to Shell Energy and decided to leave.I have wasted approximately 2 days of my life trying to speak to customer service, retentions, complaints and then around the same merry go round… Passed from one incorrect team to another, arrogant staff who don’t give a toss. If you like poor customer service, then Shell Energy Broadband is the leaders. They may be cheap, but please be aware that if you ever need to talk to them then be prepared to waste hours on the phone trying to get through and even then, you’ll be handed off from one incorrect area to another………Just don’t do it read more
