Whistleblower Irina Woodhead warned Shell months before the Prelude fire that its emergency protocols were about as effective as a soggy matchstick.

In today’s episode of Corporate Hypocrisy: Shell Edition, let’s dive into the latest spectacle from the world’s favourite sin stock, Shell—championed by investors like Vanguard and BlackRock, who clearly love a good oil-slicked controversy. This time, it’s whistleblowing safety engineer Irina Woodhead versus the profit-worshipping oil titan, and the results are about as surprising as discovering Shell spilt oil somewhere (again).

Irina Woodhead, a former Shell safety advisor and Technical Authority Level 2, claims she was dismissed after raising alarms about terrifyingly inadequate safety protocols aboard the Prelude FLNG vessel. You know, the floating gas factory that nearly turned into a floating gas fireball in December 2021 when a fire erupted and emergency systems decided to sit this one out. The 293 people on board? Let’s just say their evacuation options were as robust as Shell’s commitment to ethics. read more

Shell Shocked: The Prelude to Utter Corporate Indifference and Offshore Worker Abuse

Shell. The “shining” beacon of fossil-fueled ambition and unparalleled disregard for basic humanity. While the world scrambles to mitigate climate catastrophe, Shell’s Prelude FLNG facility, a floating natural gas disaster masquerading as innovation, proves that cutting corners is the only thing this oil giant seems to excel at. And now, surprise! Shell faces yet another worker rebellion on this colossal misfire. Honestly, at this point, we should just call it the Touch Fuck All facility.

Prelude FLNG: A Masterclass in Corporate Hubris

Prelude, Shell’s floating liquefied natural gas platform, was touted as a technological marvel—a 3.6-million-tonnes-per-annum cash cow set to redefine the energy sector. Instead, it has become a floating cautionary tale, plagued by mechanical failures, safety violations, and enough worker dissatisfaction to make any HR department spontaneously combust. Since shipping its first cargo in June 2019, this engineering “wonder” has spent more time offline than a dial-up modem in the ‘90s.

Now, the logistics workers from Qube Offshore, who keep this floating disaster operational, have had enough. They’ve voted for protected industrial action, citing the same negligence that Shell so lovingly slathers across all its projects. Who could blame them? Shell’s track record with offshore worker safety is so abysmal that even the term “safety” starts feeling like satire. read more

Reflections from Addressing the UK House of Lords

I recently had the profound honor of addressing a meeting at The House of Lords, particularly Lord Berkeley, about an issue that is very important to me: the urgent need for a dedicated Office of the Whistleblower. My name is Irina Woodhead, and I have been advocating for stronger whistleblower protections to ensure fair investigations and accountability.

Whistleblowers play a crucial role in exposing fraud and corruption, yet current legislation fails us. read more

Meet Irina Woodhead, the brave whistleblower who dared to speak out against the greedy, ruthless, and incompetent oil giant we know as Shell. For those not keeping track of Shell’s ever-expanding portfolio of environmental disasters and corporate scandals, Irina was employed by the company as a technical and process safety advisor from July 2019 to May 2023. And boy, did she have a front-row seat to Shell’s handling of one of its most embarrassing failures: the Prelude FLNG project. read more
