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 »

by

on Sat 21 Apr 2007 09:33 PM BST
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 »

by

on Sun 21 May 2006 04:18 PM BST
Documents obtained by conservation group WWF, and seen by Reuters, showed that contractors working for Shell-led Sakhalin Energy did not follow all the environmental guidelines agreed with potential lenders when laying pipes across two rivers on Sakhalin Island in December. "It appears they have hidden the truth ... WWF does not see how EBRD can trust Shell to deliver this project to meet acceptable standards," said James Leaton, senior policy adviser at WWF's UK unit. The Sakhalin project has already been hit by a doubling of its costs, leading to tension between Shell and the Kremlin, and has damaged the company's reputation on environmental matters. more »

Financial Times: The warriors of Warri: how oil in Nigeria is under siege
by
Royal Dutch Shell Plc .com
on Fri 07 Apr 2006 01:12 AM BST
Surrounded by sullen and hungry-looking young men, a rebel leader known only as Hendricks explains why Royal Dutch Shell has been the target of a series of crippling attacks in Nigeria this year. “Shell is the major culprit,” he says from a makeshift office in Warri, an oil hub in Nigeria’s troubled delta region. The “colonial company” has, he maintains, exploited local people, destroyed the environment and colluded with a corrupt “political contraption”. With Nigeria accounting for about 16 per cent of Shell’s 2m b/d worldwide oil production, investors are becoming increasingly concerned. “I think it’s worrying everyone,” says Bruce Evers, an oil analyst at Investec Securities in London. “It’s a substantial part of Shell’s production.” more »
