Financial Times: Motivational memos must make their message clear
by
Royal Dutch Shell Plc .com
on Mon 11 Jun 2007 01:01 PM BST
The memo (www.ft.com/shell) is crass, poorly punctuated and most of it wasn't even written by its author, David Greer, deputy chief executive of Royal Dutch Shell's Sakhalin Energy Investment Company. He had lifted the words of General George S. Patton with no attribution, and clumsily adapted them to spur on his team of recalcitrant pipeline engineers. more »

Twinkly old Mark Moody-Stuart would wiggle his eyebrows in astonishment when anyone suggested impropriety and Phil Watts would glower down at us contemptuously as if we were all particularly inattentive students at his bible class. We suspected that deep down they were really, all of them, only just on the right side (or the wrong side in Watts case) of being mendacious bastards – but at least they were our bastards! more »

Without the documentary evidence I supplied, the Putin government might not have felt sufficiently emboldened to risk the wrath of other nations. Without its success in forcing Shell to surrender, it might not now be turning the screws on other oil company projects in Russia. The Putin regime already has BP, ExxonMobil and Total projects in their sights. more »

Mr Mitvol is quoted as saying: “Who will take Sakhalin Energy to court? I will take them. I have documents proving that the Sakhalin Energy management was aware that the company violated technical standards, but carried on trying to meet project deadlines and refused to stop work. I am confident of winning my case in Stockholm. What documents are these? Where are they from? I have email correspondence between executives in Sakhalin Energy management from 2002.

The journalists’ main interest was in our role in Shell’s humiliation over the Sakhalin2 project. He thought that it was remarkable that a $2 a week website had pulled the rug out from under Shell on the multibillion dollar project, the biggest of its kind in the world. He had been in contact with the office of Oleg Mitvol to arrange an interview. He also spoke to at least one other important source. more »

Royal Dutch Shell PLC… But go to www.royaldutchshellplc.com and you will find a crude Web site in garish colors where Alfred Donovan, an 88-year-old British army veteran, posts dozens of media reports and commentary, most of it negative, about Shell and the accounting scandal that plagued it last year.

There are plenty of people who see a connection between Brinded’s and Botts’ style of management and the fatalities. Three years ago, Botts promised a 30% increase in production with a 30% reduction in costs by 2007. Instead, there has been a 30% increase in costs with a 30% reduction in production…..” more »
