The Shell DPA Files: Big Oil, A Family Website, And The Corporate Panic Inbox

Jun 28th, 2026
by John Donovan.

One of the world’s largest oil companies spent years trying not to look obsessed with a father-and-son website in Essex, while quietly producing internal briefings, issue notes, legal warnings, media lines, Wikipedia strategies, security chatter, source-hunting discussions and reputation-management scripts about exactly that father-and-son website.

Companion research register: The Shell DPA Files: Evidence Register. (Last segment in this article.) 

Editor’s Note On The Evidence

This article is based on Shell internal emails, issue briefs, media-monitoring notes, legal correspondence and related documents published in the ShellNews.net DPA archive. The archive states that the material was obtained from Shell in December 2009, March 2010 and April 2011 after Subject Access Request applications under the UK Data Protection Act by Alfred and John Donovan.

Where the documents contain Shell’s internal line, that line is attributed to Shell. Where the documents repeat allegations made by others, those allegations are treated as allegations. Where names or passages are redacted, this draft does not try to guess what Shell blacked out. This is a paper-trail story: the evidence is linked, the satire is pointed, and the serious claims are nailed to the documents rather than left floating around the room with a glass of warm corporate prose.

The Short Version

One of the world’s largest oil companies spent years trying not to look obsessed with a father-and-son website in Essex, while quietly producing internal briefings, issue notes, legal warnings, media lines, Wikipedia strategies, security chatter, source-hunting discussions and reputation-management scripts about exactly that father-and-son website.

The Donovans had a website. Shell had an empire. The website had leaks. The empire had meetings.

And then, because history enjoys slapstick, Shell had to disclose a mountain of its own internal emails under the Data Protection Act. The result is the DPA archive: a corporate panic inbox with a filing system, redactions, and enough reputational indigestion to power a small refinery.

1. The Leaflets That Made Shell Look Up

The opening act is not a spy thriller. It is leaflets outside Shell Centre.

On 3 May 2006, Shell staff circulated internal warnings about Alfred Donovan’s announced plan to station leaflet distributors outside Shell Centre. The relevant email chain, 3MAY2006.5PAGES.pdf, treated the activity as a media and security matter. Reception, important visitors, Shell Malaysia issues, domain-name history and the approaching AGM were all drawn into the same little storm cloud.

The tone is revealing. Shell did not describe this as a passing nuisance and move on. It asked people to be aware of possible media interest, referred to security, and noted that an old issue brief on Mr Donovan would be updated if the activity became more visible before the AGM. The oil giant had found the leaflet table and decided it needed a cross-functional response.

By 15 May 2006, the matter had become a formal confidential Focal Point issue brief. That document set out Shell’s approved messages about Alfred Donovan, the leaflets, Shell Malaysia, the Team A litigation, the domain-name dispute and the prospect of further activity at AGM locations.

In tabloid terms: the man with the leaflets had been promoted. Not by Shell’s HR department, obviously, but by Shell’s internal anxiety machine.

2. The Focal Point Factory

Once Shell created a “Focal Point” for the Donovan problem, the issue did not disappear. It matured, like a fine corporate migraine.

The 2006 issue brief was followed by later versions, including 16OCT2007FOCALPOINT.pdf, DEC26.2007FOCALPoint.pdf, 4APRIL2008FOCALPOINT.pdf, 27JUNE2008FOCALPOINT.pdf, 8APRIL2009FocalPoint.pdf, 8JULY2009FocalPoint.pdf and d.pdf.

These documents show a repeat pattern. Shell described Alfred and John Donovan as long-standing critics. It acknowledged the website as a daily Shell news and criticism hub. It linked the Donovan activity to Wikipedia, Sakhalin II, North Sea safety, Shell Malaysia, Subject Access Requests, media coverage and Shell insiders allegedly supplying information.

One Focal Point line is especially useful because it captures Shell’s real problem: the site was intended to become a “magnet” for people with grievances against the company. That was not merely a personal dispute any longer. It was a gathering point, a noticeboard, a leak desk, a searchable archive and a reputational wasp in the boardroom tea.

Shell’s official response, as repeated in the Focal Point documents, was to avoid detailed public engagement. It disagreed with the Donovans’ allegations, said previous attempts at debate had been unproductive, and warned that suing critics could make Shell look like a bully. Translation from corporate dialect: the company wanted to punch the website, but the mirror was watching.

3. North Sea, Sakhalin And The Strategy Roundtable

In early 2007, the Donovan issue became tangled with larger Shell embarrassments: North Sea safety, Sakhalin II and the press.

A 21 February 2007 email, 21FEB2007.16.44.pdf, refers to a possible UK newspaper story based on Donovan material relating to North Sea safety allegations. A separate document, 02FEB2007DPASUNDAYTIMES.KILL.pdf, records a heads-up that The Sunday Times had picked up a Sakhalin/drilling leaked-email story from the Donovan website and that Shell was trying to kill the story by arguing it was old news.

Then came the strategic huddle. The document DPA09March2007.15.28.pdf proposes a follow-up on handling the Donovans, North Sea integrity and media strategy. It discusses a blanket statement, AGM Q&As, scenarios, blockers and enablers, and the possibility of demonstrating that Shell would no longer tolerate the Donovan approach unchallenged.

This is the kind of line that should be printed on a mug in a corporate crisis room: “Are we prepared?” Shell was not just responding to articles. It was trying to map a theatre of war in which the enemy combatants had a website, PDFs and a suspiciously busy inbox.

The safety theme kept returning. In September 2007, 9SEPT2007.19.32SUNTELEGRAPH.pdf circulated press coverage about North Sea platform safety and online activism. In July 2009, 30JULY2009.17.04.BRAVO.pdf shows Shell staff noting that a RoyalDutchShellPlc.com Brent Bravo safety piece had been picked up by Bloomberg. The original article by former Shell HSE Group Auditor Bill Campbell made grave allegations about audit findings, management conduct and the fatal Brent Bravo accident. Shell’s internal concern, as shown by the email, included whether correspondence with Shell was going to be published.

That was the new dynamic. Shell could not treat a website post as safely contained. A post could become a Bloomberg pickup. A leaked email could become a newspaper lead. A retired auditor could become a public witness. The little website had become a wire service with attitude.

4. Fox News, Iran And The Accidental Compliment

The March 2007 Fox News/Iran chain is one of the archive’s most astonishing episodes.

The document FOXNEWSCOMPLETE.pdf contains a long chain about an email to Fox News concerning Shell and Iran. A shorter linked document, 19March2007.18.43.pdf, shows Shell staff identifying John Donovan, noting the RoyalDutchShellPlc.com website, referring to the Donovans’ Sakhalin claims and saying that comment on accusations should be centrally approved.

Another email, 20MARCH2007AT4.08AM.pdf, contains the accidental champagne cork. The website is described internally as an “excellent source” of Shell group news and comment, and the writer recommends it above Shell’s own internal communications. That is not a press release. That is a confession in a hard hat.

The same email says the Donovans were not of security interest unless someone wanted an information-security task to discover where their Shell sources were located. There it is: the joke with teeth. Shell did not simply dislike the website; it wanted to understand how the website knew things.

A 19 March 2007 email, DPAMon19March2007.16.39.pdf, says research was being done into Alfred and John Donovan after the Fox News approach and that sources in the USG and London had been contacted. The document 21MARCH2007.pdf goes further, referring to suspicion that current and former Shell employees were communicating with Donovan and to monitoring internal emails and web traffic.

It is all very cloak-and-dagger, except the dagger appears to be a Subject Access Request and the cloak came back from Shell with page numbers.

5. Wikipedia: The Encyclopedia That Made The Oil Giant Sweat

The DPA archive also shows Shell wrestling with Wikipedia. Not the easiest arena for a multinational that likes polished control, because Wikipedia has rules, edit histories, public talk pages and a habit of leaving fingerprints.

On 1 March 2007, 1March2007.15.00.pdf discussed Shell entries on Wikipedia and the dangers of companies editing pages in which they have a vested interest. On 2 March 2007, 2March2007.16.13.pdf discussed Donovan’s postings and the spirit of Wikipedia. On 6 June 2007, 6JUNE2007.12.51.pdf warned that Shell editing wiki pages about itself could produce criticism of censorship.

By July and October 2007, Shell people were still circling the issue. 29JULY2007.11.31.pdf notes that Wikipedia allows facts to be provided. 30JULY2007.22.38.pdf says the Shell controversies page was largely produced by John Donovan. 12OCT2007.15.21.pdf considers whether Shell should get involved in a deletion debate and predicts the Donovans would treat any intervention as evidence of underhand plotting.

In February 2008, 19FEB2008.4PAGES.pdf shows a Shell new media team reviewing Wikipedia pages related to Shell, including controversy and safety pages described as Donovan-driven. In December 2009, 18DEC2009WIKI.pdf examines the history and discussion tabs of the “Controversies surrounding Royal Dutch Shell” page and identifies John Donovan as a main contributor to discussions, while noting the last edit date shown in the history.

For Shell, Wikipedia was not just a page. It was a public mirror with a revision history. Every attempt to tidy the hair risked being seen by the whole room.

6. Media Handling: The Respectability Problem

The archive repeatedly shows Shell worrying about whether the Donovan website was gaining credibility through journalists, newspapers and public references.

The 19 July 2009 Sunday Times clipping preserved in 19July2009.12.24.pdf carried the headline “Two men and a website mount vendetta against an oil giant.” The internal covering email says the Donovans came across well. That is a small sentence with a large groan behind it.

In 2010, the Financial Times became the latest reputational tripwire. The document FTShellDPA27July2010.pdf shows Shell personnel reacting to FT Energy Source linking to a RoyalDutchShellPlc.com article. One Shell email says the FT reference gave Donovan “undeserved credibility” and asks whether Shell had tried to do anything with the FT. A reply notes that Donovan had access to most emails written to and from Shell about him through his regular Data Protection Act requests.

That is the whole archive in miniature. Shell wanted to manage the reputational problem, but the act of managing it created documents that could later become the reputational problem. It is hard to play chess when the board files a SAR.

7. CAS, NCFTA And The Source-Hunting Problem

The June 2009 material adds a darker edge.

In 17JUNE2009.pdf, a privileged and confidential email about Donovan blogs refers to high-level interest, CAS involvement, conversations with NCFTA, RDS-focused resources, and the need for care because anything visible to Donovan might be posted. The email says there would be no visible action toward Donovan, but that action against people communicating with the site might quickly appear online.

Whatever the precise internal machinery behind the acronyms, the message is clear enough: Shell was not merely reading the website. It was worried about who was feeding it.

That is why the DPA archive matters. It shows the website as Shell saw it from the inside: not only as criticism, not only as nuisance, but as a possible leakage channel carrying information from current and former Shell employees into public view. For a company whose natural habitat is confidentiality, that is not a website. That is an alarm bell with hyperlinks.

8. The Buy-Them-Off Suggestion

By September and October 2010, the Donovan saga had even attracted unsolicited strategic advice from outside Shell. The document DPAdocsSeptOct2010.pdf contains a third party’s suggestion that Shell offer money for the Donovans to transfer their websites and stop publishing about Shell. The amount suggested was GBP 250,000.

Shell’s reply rejected the idea, saying an arrangement of that sort would not work in practice. In the chain, the ethical spectre of blackmail is raised. The third party says the Donovans had already published and would continue publishing, and describes the website as ranking highly on Google.

Thus the internet age reduced a supermajor’s headache to a brutally simple formula: your critic owns the search result, your internal emails keep leaking, and someone at a wine tasting thinks the cheapest option might be to buy the whole circus.

9. What The DPA Files Prove

The archive does not prove that every allegation ever published on RoyalDutchShellPlc.com was correct. That is not its proper use. The archive proves something different, and in some ways more useful.

It proves that Shell took the Donovan websites seriously enough to brief internally, monitor, plan, discuss, worry, prepare lines, consider media strategies, review Wikipedia, track journalists, note alleged sources, refer to internal traffic and repeatedly update issue-management documents.

It proves that Shell’s own staff sometimes privately credited the website with reach and usefulness even while public-facing lines sought to dismiss it as hostile, unreliable or obsessive.

It proves that the Donovans’ use of the Data Protection Act was not a side issue. It was a tool that turned Shell’s defensive bureaucracy into a documentary record. The company could call the website a nuisance. The SARs made the nuisance citable.

10. The Tabloid Verdict

Shell wanted to be the grown-up in the room: calm, global, responsible, blessed with lawyers and stationery. The DPA files show something messier and far more entertaining. Behind the curtain, the grown-up was peeking through the blinds, asking who had spoken to Fox News, whether Wikipedia should be touched, whether the FT could be nudged, whether insiders were feeding the website, and whether doing anything at all would simply give the Donovans more ammunition.

That is the magnificent absurdity of the archive. A family website could not drill oil, run refineries, sign LNG contracts or buy glossy corporate reputation. But it could publish, preserve, link and wait. Shell had the towers. The Donovans had the archive. In the end, the archive had a very long memory.

This is not just a story about a dispute. It is a story about what happens when a giant company meets a stubborn public record and discovers that the internet does not politely forget.
