The Observer: Shell consortium in new Sakhalin pipeline dispute
by
Royal Dutch Shell Plc .com
on Sun 21 May 2006 08:47 AM BST
Sakhalin Energy, in which oil giant Shell has a controlling stake, is this weekend facing allegations that it is misleading potential funders of the world's second most expensive infrastructure project. The company is apparently claiming to comply with environmental standards despite evidence to the contrary. A series of documents leaked to The Observer state that independent consultants monitoring the construction of a $20bn gas and oil project on Sakhalin island, off the east coast of Russia, highlight numerous breaches of environmental protocol. But versions of the same reports on the website of Sakhalin Energy, the consortium behind the project, give the consortium a clean bill of health. WWF senior campaigner James Leaton said: 'This misleading of potential funders and environmental groups raises the question of trust. This is Shell's last chance to get things right on Sakhalin 2. It appears they have hidden the truth, which leaves them with zero trust. WWF does not see how funders can trust Shell to deliver this project to meet acceptable standards. Shell has blown its chances and its credibility.' more »

We still have the relevant correspondence with him and associated transcripts of recorded telephone conversations. They prove that he did not tell us the truth. Varney is free to sue us for libel if he disputes what we say. more »

by

on Sun 30 Apr 2006 07:22 PM BST
Shell is also expected to announce close to record numbers next week, with analysts expecting profits around $5.57bn, driven largely by the oil price. The stand-off with Iran is one of several factors that could cause a significant supply disruption. Ethnic and tribal disputes in Nigeria have resulted in the loss of 500,000 barrels a day. Output in Iraq, potentially the world's second-largest exporter, is still well below pre-war levels. There are also concerns among traders about supplies from Venezuela and Russia because of internal politics. more »

'Financial data for Exxon, BP, Shell and Chevron shows that upstream and downstream earnings are actually very positively correlated. The arguments for adhering to an integrated structure have lost much, if not all, of their historical validity.' Lucas's proposed solution is to demerge BP's downstream business from its exploration activities, offering investors shares in two companies. Lucas reckons that a demerger could yield $35bn of lost value to shareholders. more »
