Energy shipping firm deploys armed guards despite LNG carriers’ smaller risk of piracy

Hal Brown – Friday 5 April 2013

PIRATES are very much a concern for Shell’s gas shipping operation, even though liquefied natural gas carriers are no easy target for attackers.

As Shell’s LNG vessel Mekaines loaded cargo last month in Ras Laffan , Qatar, it had already made preparations to pick up a team of armed guards.

ROYAL Dutch Shell is set to pay $9.2m to settle another shareholder lawsuit in the US as it works to close off the remaining fallout from its 2004 reserves scandal, writes Martyn Wingrove.

The Anglo-Dutch oil major, which recently unified its ownership and listing, has reached a settlement with US shareholders on their derivative action that was set up to force the company into corporate changes.

The actions pending in the federal courts of New York and New Jersey sought to assert claims against current and former members of the board and were looking for changes in corporate structure and governance. read more

STRONG oil prices have sent unified Royal Dutch Shell’s earnings into a 26% rise in the second quarter, but there are concerns over rises in capital investments on Russian projects.

The London-listed oil group reported earnings of $4.63bn in the second quarter compared with $3.66bn for the same period last year, but its capital expenditure climbed 20% to $4.13bn in the quarter, $2.4bn of this in upstream operations.

The Anglo-Dutch group has seen its oil and gas production fall since the first quarter to 3.5m barrels of oil equivalent a day from almost 3.85m in March, although it was flat compared with the second quarter last year. read more

Buying candidates will be selected from those which respond positively to a ‘teaser’ document, effectively an executive summary of the operations.

Shell aims to have an offer in place for the marketing and distribution assets of its branded LPG business by the end of this year and finalise the deal next year. read more

Lloyds List: North Asian gas import prices will rise as demand increases

Tony Gray reports from the LNG Finance Forum in London organised by Euromoney Energy Events and Gas Strategies

May 10, 2005

Growing global demand for liquefied natural gas will force the hungry markets in north Asia, which have traditionally been the biggest consumers, to raise their import prices, the conference was told.
