Based on what’s on royaldutchshellplc.com, “The Shell Leaks Files” is the title John gave in July 2026 to the documentary archive series being published on the site — it’s a branding/framing device for organizing decades of Shell-related material into a structured, dated collection (each entry gets an “Archive Reference,” e.g. SLF-2007-012), rather than the name of a single historical leak or a term that existed before then.
