Shell appears to be in a stand-off with Todd Energy over the future of its $1 billion-plus portfolio of oil exploration and production assets in New Zealand, according to sources.

Investment bank JPMorgan is understood to be working for the energy company, although no formal process has yet been launched, according to sources, despite suggestions that documents would start being sent out around August. read more

Shell’s New Zealand boss has reportedly said business was proceeding “as usual” amid reports the company was planning to divest its entire $1billion-plus portfolio in the country.

Australian media reports said late last week that JP Morgan had been hired to offload Shell’s assets, which were placed under review by the oil giant in December.

But Rob Jager told New Zealand media outlets the company was still looking at a range of options and that it was “business as usual”. read more

Shell is preparing to sell all or some of its New Zealand operations, which carry an estimated value of more than $1 billion.break

Following inquiries by the ODT, Shell New Zealand country chairman Rob Jager confirmed speculation this week that investment bank giant JPMorgan had been appointed to support any sales process.

“Shell continues to explore a range of options for some or all of Shell’s assets in New Zealand. JP Morgan has been appointed to support this process,” Mr Jager said in a brief note, being unavailable for an interview. read more

Royal Dutch Shell mulls exit from New Zealand

Angela Macdonald-Smith: 10 Dec 2015

Royal Dutch Shell is mulling a complete exit from New Zealand, putting all its oil and gas assets in the country under review for a possible sale that would likely fetch into the billions of dollars.

Country chairman Rob Jager said that while the New Zealand business was “great”, it is “a small part of the global Shell business and hence the decision to undertake a strategic review at this time.”

Shell already has a sale process underway for its stake in the Maui gas pipeline, with a teaser document sent to potential buyers by adviser JPMorgan in October. The pipeline is expected to fetch as much as $NZ300 million, but the rest of Shell’s business in New Zealand is much more extensive. read more

Shell exploration manager Roland Spuij – deluded or ignorant?

Printed below is a deluded article written by a Shell exploration manager – Roland Spuij (prat on the right) – who apparently is totally ignorant of Shell’s track record of giving a higher priority to production and profits than to the safety of its offshore workers. Either that, or he is trying to deliberate mislead New Zealanders? Same applies to his comments about Shell’s conduct in Nigeria. Has he forgotten that in 2009 Shell paid $15.5 million (£9.7m) as an out-of-court settlement in a case accusing it of complicity in human rights abuses in Nigeria. 17 pages of correspondence between Shell and the Nigerian Police – authentic exhibits from the litigation – prove Shell supplied arms and ammunition to the Nigerian police force (part of a corrupt murderous regime) read more

Shell’s wells yield $162 million profit

6 August 2012

Oil and gas giant Shell made a profit of $162 million from its fields in Taranaki last year, including the huge but ageing Maui and Kapuni gas fields.

Shell sold its retail petrol stations in New Zealand in 2010, but it maintains its large and profitable oil and gas production fields in Taranaki and is a partner in a joint venture to explore for more in the Great South Basin off the bottom of the South Island.

It is possible partners in the Great South Basin could drill an exploration well in the summer of 2014-15, but they are still analysing data from seismic testing. read more

Shell and Todd in non-payment dispute

Spokespersons for Shell New Zealand and Todd Energy have declined to comment on a non-payment dispute showing up in a report to the Companies Office.

3 August 2012

The joint owners of some of New Zealand’s largest oil and gas fields, Shell New Zealand and Todd Energy, are in dispute over non-payment for services provided for work on the Maui, Pohokura, and Kapuni fields.

Companies Office records show Shell Todd Oil Services (STOS) was carrying a contingent liability at December 31 for an unresolved dispute relating to work programmes and budgets for all three fields.

The notes say these have “not been approved and accordingly some JV parties have declined to pay cash calls relating to aspects of the SIEP (Shell International Exploration and Production) charges”. read more

LATEST: There was no evidence anyone was actually misled when Shell claimed its petrol was "designed to take you further" despite only increasing efficiency by less than 1 percent, the judge who dismissed the case against the oil company said.

Shell’s reputation was besmirched by the conduct of its New Zealand executives, whose court testimony Justice Wild rejected as unreliable.

Last updated 09:32 26/03/2010 By NICK SMITH

OPINION: Shell’s standing as a good New Zealand corporate citizen is on the line.

It will be at least three weeks before Todd Energy’s fascinating $274 million lawsuit against oil multinational Shell finishes at the High Court in Wellington.

Justice Robert Dobson, assisted by economist lay member Professor Martin Richardson, is then likely to reserve his decision on the exemplary damages claim, relating to efforts by Shell and Austrian partner OMV to limit production at the Pohokura gasfield. read more

Stuff.co.nz (New Zealand): Pohokura partners in row

02 May 2005

By MARTA STEEMAN

The $1 billion development of the crucial Pohokura gasfield may be slipping behind schedule because of a bitter row between energy heavyweight Shell New Zealand and Todd Energy over operating key New Zealand gasfields.

Pohokura is the biggest gasfield development since Maui, which is expected to run dry by 2007.

Shell and Todd and the other owner of Pohokura, Austrian firm OMV, have committed to first production of gas from Pohokura from mid-2006 and have contracted to sell the gas to mainly electricity generators. read more
