View Article  ShellNews.net: Revealed in a Shell internal email: Shell’s intention to ‘kill’ a Sunday Times story about this website: 16 July 2007
This is a heads up. I understand from the Group media office that the Sunday Times has picked up the Sakhalin/drilling leaked e-mail story from Donovan’s website. They are responding with agree Qs and As that have been used previously with the Guardian, but are first trying to kill the story...   more »
View Article  ShellNews.net: Aborted Sunday Times article claiming this website cost Shell $22 billion
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 »

View Article  The Sunday Times: Leading article: Mayo will lose out
The collapse of negotiations between Shell and the protesters who have lined up against its Corrib gas pipeline is an unwelcome development. The breakdown in talks reveals an entrenching of positions by both sides in what has already been a prolonged, bitter and costly dispute. More importantly from a national perspective, it sends out a damaging signal to international investors about Ireland’s reliability as a place to do business.   more »

View Article  The Times: Definitely no regrets: there is life beyond the High Court
ShellNews.net: Sir Hugh Laddie was the Judge for the Donovan -v- Shell U.K. Limited “Shell Smart” trial at the Royal Courts of Justice. At the time, he was still a High Court Judge known as Mr Justice Laddie. He resigned from being a Judge in controversial circumstances. By coincidence or otherwise, this was subsequent to a letter of complaint sent by Alfred Donovan to the Lord Chancellor, Lord Falconer. In a further coincidence, Sir Hugh now works for a consultancy which has Shell as a client: it's a small world.    more »
View Article  The Sunday Times: Ireland: Don’t bank on chip and pin to defeat fraudsters
His concerns about the vulnerability of chip and pin were reinforced recently by news that 600 Shell petrol stations in Britain suspended use of chip-and-pin terminals after more than £1m (€1.47m) was stolen from customers’ accounts.    more »
View Article  The Sunday Times: Protester too ill for court turns up at Shell AGM
...Harrington was being prevented from distributing Rossport Solidarity group leaflets at Shell’s annual meeting. Mediation between Shell and the Rossport Five has now resumed in an effort to achieve a way around locals’ objection to the gas pipeline going across their land. Peter Cassells, the former general secretary of the Irish Congress of Trade Unions, recently met the five men who were jailed for 94 days last year over their opposition to the pipeline.    more »
View Article  The Sunday Times: Chip and pin ‘makes fraud even easier’
His concerns about the vulnerability of chip-and-pin were reinforced last week by news that 600 Shell petrol stations have suspended use of chip-and-pin terminals after more than £1m was stolen from customers’ accounts. Fraudsters masquerading as engineers sent to test the equipment instead fitted the keypads with memory chips that logged customers’ card numbers and pin codes.    more »
View Article  The Sunday Times: Shell presses on with injunction against Rossport Five
SHELL is still seeking a permanent injunction to stop the Rossport Five and two other landowners in north Mayo from closing off their land. Despite offering an olive branch and apology to locals last week, the company wants a court order allowing its personnel to enter the objectors’ land. The High Court case is due for mention on Tuesday before Justice Mary Laffoy.    more »

The men may have been better off refusing to come out of jail until Shell had agreed to their demands. As soon as they regained their freedom, the ground started shifting beneath them.    more »
View Article  The Sunday Times: Shell’s pipes ‘rusting away’
AS if Shell did not have enough problems already with the Corrib gas field, it has now emerged that the pipes it plans to use to pump gas ashore in north Mayo are rusting away in Killybegs.    more »
View Article  The Sunday Times: Whales could sink Shell’s EBRD loan
When complete, the offshore oil and gas project will deliver 9.6m tonnes of liquefied natural gas a year. It is central to Shell’s plan to recover from the reserves scandal in 2004. But the WWF, the former World Wildlife Fund, said Shell was starting work on new pipelines in two months’ time without knowing the full effect on the whale population. The WWF’s James Leaton said: “We want the suspension of the laying of the offshore pipelines this summer, otherwise it’s the end of the whales.”    more »

Loftus said he was relieved that Judge Finnegan did not return the men to jail. “It would have been a public relations nightmare for Shell. The reality is, there will be no progress until these men sit across a table from Shell and negotiate. I see that as the only way forward,” Loftus said. The Rossport Five are now concerned that Shell will pursue them for costs. “We may have to go to jail again,” said Willie Corduff, one of the five, yesterday.    more »

Scotrenewables, an Orkney-based tidal power company, has won the first UK national title at the Shell Springboard awards, which recognise the best small business ideas to combat climate change. Scotrenewables’ prize is a trip to Shell’s Reykjavik hydrogen facility in Iceland later this year. Barry Johnston from Scotrenewables said it was a huge boost for the company, which also receives £40,000 towards establishing and marketing its products.    more »
View Article  The Sunday Times: Special Report: Make or break for Shell in Russia
It is a mammoth undertaking, and one being closely monitored not only by Shell executives — the company admitted last year that its costs had doubled to $20 billion (£12 billion) — but also by environmentalists, who are highly critical of the project. The project is central to Shell’s plan to recover from the reserves scandal in 2004 when it had to admit that it had exaggerated its “proved” reserves.

FROM SHELL GENERAL COUNSEL RICHARD WISEMAN: "Dear Mr Donovan, While you, or John, may have complained to the police about "sinister activities" around the time of previous campaigns, as we said at the time and repeat now, there is no substance in the allegation that Shell had anything to do with such activities. The work done by our enquiry agent was entirely legal and conventional in the context of the litigation.”   more »
