Last-minute bid to stop Shell’s oil exploration in whale breeding grounds in South Africa
Campaigners have filed legal challenge against seismic survey along Eastern Cape province
Jillian Ambrose Energy correspondent: Wed 1 Dec 2021 06.00 GMT
An 11th hour bid has been launched to try to halt plans by Royal Dutch Shell to explore for oil in vital whale breeding grounds along the Wild Coast of eastern South Africa.
Campaigners filed an urgent legal challenge against the seismic survey, which was scheduled to begin on Wednesday, in a last-ditch bid to prevent it harming whales, dolphins and seals in the relatively untouched marine environment.read more

National security review stalls sale of Shell U.S. refinery to Mexican state oil firm
Erwin Seba: Publishing date: Nov 30, 2021
HOUSTON — A national security review has delayed the sale of Royal Dutch Shell’s controlling interest in a Texas refinery to Mexico’s national oil company Petroleos Mexicanos (Pemex), Shell said on Tuesday.
Shell in May disclosed a sale of its 50% interest in the 302,800 barrel-per-day (bpd) Deer Park, Texas, refinery outside Houston to partner Pemex for about $596 million.
The closing was expected as early as Wednesday.read more

Shell faces activist outcry over planned seismic survey of South African coast
By PAUL BURKHARDT and Laura Hurst: Bloomberg
Nov. 29, 2021 at 10:24 am Updated Nov. 29, 2021 at 7:10 pm
Royal Dutch Shell faces a growing campaign against its plans to conduct a seismic survey of potential oil and gas reservoirs off South Africa’s rugged coastline.
The standoff is the latest example of environmental groups’ push to halt oil and gas developments before they even get going – an effort that has been buoyed by an International Energy Agency report saying no new fields can be tapped if the world wants to prevent damaging climate change.read more
New customer, service didn’t work from day one, insisted they would charge me from day one.

Have had to get the Careline company to adjust their box so that they can speak to her if she has a problem. Would give no stars if it were possible.read more
Shell is set to spend the next four months searching for oil and gas along a virtually untouched South African coastline.
The million-pound company plans to look for fossil fuels underneath the sea along the Eastern Cape’s Wild Coast – a stretch of land aptly named for its untamed wilderness and lack of major industrialisation.
But Shell’s ships will have to conduct three-dimensional seismic surveys to do this, using underwater explosions to record ground vibrations which can indicate what natural resources lay beneath.read more

Shell’s departure deals blow to Dutch pro-business credentials
25 Nov 2021
Stef Blok had an unenviable task for any economy minister last week: explaining how his country was about to lose one of its most high-profile multinational companies.
The decision by oil and gas group Royal Dutch Shell to end its dual corporate structure and move its tax base to the UK, after being in the Netherlands for more than a century, was a “sensitive loss” for the country, Blok told the Dutch parliament. It is particularly embarrassing for the pro-business caretaker government of Prime Minister Mark Rutte.read more

BY: NICHOLAS EARL: TUESDAY 23 NOVEMBER 2021 4:28 PM

The oil giant’s management team has set up more than 100 meetings with leading investors in recent days to push through historic company, sources told Reuters.

Shell Launches ShareholderTalks to Win Backing for HQ Move, Sources Say
By Reuters: Nov. 23, 2021, at 5:53 a.m.
LONDON (Reuters) – Royal Dutch Shell has launched talks with investors to secure support for its plan to relocate its headquarters from the Netherlands to Britain, sources said, as a leading advisory recommended backing the move at a December vote.
Shell said this month it would scrap its dual Anglo-Dutch share structure and move its head office to London from The Hague due to the Dutch tax system and after a court ruling over its strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The company also plans to move its tax residence to Britain and drop “Royal Dutch” from its name – part of its identity since 1907 – to become Shell Plc.read more

Brexit success: Shell headquarter move shows Remoaner predictions are ‘other way around’
OIL giant Shell is relocating its headquarters from the Netherlands to the UK, a move some are labelling as proof that Brexit is not synonymous with losing foreign business.
By TERESA GOTTEIN MARTINEZ
Shell has this week announced it was ready to sacrifice the designation “Royal” — from Royal Dutch Shell — to shift its tax residency from the EU to the UK. It already chose the country as its corporate base and primary stock market listing in 2005 but now, “despite Brexit“, the British-Dutch multinational will call London its only home.read more

Shell is ‘doing its own Brexit,’ with a massive EU snub in favor of the UK move.
BY HELENA SUTANON
Shell is ‘doing its own Brexit,’ with a massive EU snub in favor of the UK move.
THE European Union has been shattered after it was revealed that oil giant Shell is “doing its own Brexit” by moving its headquarters from the Netherlands to the United Kingdom, with one political expert dubbing the news a “political bomb.”
Royal Dutch Shell is getting rid of its dual share structure and relocating its headquarters from the Netherlands to the United Kingdom, which is a huge win for the Brexit campaign.read more

The truth is corporations are concerned about EU bureaucratic interference.
We saw with AstraZenica that the EU will block trade if they believe it gives them an advantage.
Google and other tech companies are increasingly being fined billions to fund EU wages and pensions.
The EU is a bit anti business.
It would be better to just focus on trade and creating friendly partnerships.

Agreed, but tbh I would rather we were stricter on companies like Shell given they are responsible for a large amount of the worlds pollution
Insider: Joe Lycett should talk to his friend Jimmy Carr about Shell. Jimmy worked in Shell marketing dept during the 1990s at Shell Mex House in the Strand.
Rick K.: All I can say is that I worked on the Rigs onshore and offshore with almost every major oil company in the world. And by far Shell was the best. The most Professional, Safest and I should add treated all the workers the best.
The worst BP.
USA USA USA: ABOUT TIME! With the continued number of offshore cases, deaths in the office, and impacts on production, it's a simple business decision. Expect a number of offshore folks will complain mightily, but not too different than the complaints for implementation of the life saving rules, flame retardant clothing, drug testing, etc...
COVID - Do the RIGHT THING!: I am sure that the Shell big bosses today had a lot to process with respect to the vaccine requirements. Offshore GOM, about half of the Shell staff based offshore have not "self declared" their vaccination status, while over 95% of the office based staff have. The operations teams have openly commented about the "risk" that people will leave if Shell or USCG required vaccinations for offshore work. On the other side of the coin, shutting in production for a few days on a TLP due to lack of healthy control room operators would suggest that we can afford to find people who will take the shot. There are so many skilled production operators that have lost employment in the last three years... just up the pay and fill the vacancies! Come on Shell do the right thing and make the vaccine a requirement - the safety of the staff has always been stated as the highest value. Any claim that this is a diversity and inclusiveness issue is a completely false narrative. Its like comparing it to respect people who choose to drive without a seatbelt, work at heights without fall protection, or don't wash their hands after using the toilet!
exmtv: the 11 refined products terminals.
5 in the northeast most likely to be acquired by Buckeye partners, and the remaining 6 by Motiva. Before the end of the year!
Moon Cracker: Well, if you are going to steal my name... I will change it to the other Penn Chem nickname. I remember some of the folks over their running through lots of potential names for "Penn Chem" - PCP, Beaver Cracker , Monaca Cracker, Moon Cracker, Moon Chemical, Franklin, etc. Really its just one of the biggest failures in BvB's many. (BG, Brazil, Prelude, LNG, etc.) next he will continue to sell the crown jewels for costume jewelry prices. At least the old dirty oil business is generating enough cash to keep the company standing with such terrible management decision making.
Beaver Cracker: The recent allegations highlight that the inspectors in charge of assuring safety and environmental protection on large pipeline projects are usually paid by the pipeline builders themselves. Critics say that creates a conflict of interest, but pipeline industry officials compare the practice to quality control in other areas of manufacturing.
“The system isn’t set up to ensure experienced and accountable inspections,” said Shannon Smith of the FracTracker Alliance, a Pennsylvania-based energy watchdog group that has monitored Shell’s project.
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
