by
Royal Dutch Shell Plc .com
on Sat 19 May 2007 05:30 PM BST
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 »

by
Royal Dutch Shell Plc .com
on Sun 25 Mar 2007 04:22 PM BST
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 »

In the pipeline: ‘horrific’ fatality statistics at Shell for Jan/Feb 2007?
by
Royal Dutch Shell Plc .com
on Sun 25 Mar 2007 10:20 AM BST
“throughout Shell those fatality numbers are provoking some serious soul searching – regrettably there are always some fatalities, but these numbers are horrific. 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 »

Shell CEO Letter of Censure to Malcolm Brinded, Executive Director of Shell EP
by
Royal Dutch Shell Plc .com
on Fri 02 Mar 2007 12:06 AM GMT
While it seemed to the outside world that the repercussions of the Brent Bravo scandal had subsided, with media focus switched to BP’s troubles, Shell has in fact been trying to keep a lid on sensitive information emerging relating to the untimely deaths of innocent Brent Bravo workers. Sensitive because the machinations personally involve Shell CEO Jeroen van der Veer and Malcolm Brinded, the Executive Director of Shell EP. As will become clear, Brinded had a vested interest in trying to cover-up past events. more »

by

on Sat 16 Dec 2006 10:25 AM GMT
Is Malaysia a Police State? Why has there been no reporting of this important unprecedented defamation case involving the issuing of multiple injunctions, contempt of court proceedings, threats of imprisonment etc. against Dr Huong? I have lost count of the High Court hearings on the case. They have also been countless legal documents filed with the High Court of Malaya in KL, most of which are in the public domain.

ShellNews.net: I supplied the evidence Mitvol is using against Sakhalin Energy in $10 Billion Claim
by
Royal Dutch Shell Plc .com
on Mon 20 Nov 2006 11:18 PM GMT
We understand that some Sakhalin Energy employees have expressed concern over spying activity thought to be carried out by Shell “spooks”. It appears that Shell may be trying to expose sources of leaked Shell internal information we have been receiving. (We have been able to publish email from Shell CEO Jeroen van der Veer within hours of it being sent). In view of the news from Oleg Mitvol that Russian “special services” are also active, events are getting more interesting by the day. more »
