ThisIsLondon.co.uk: Shell looking to join halves
4 August 2004
ANGLO-Dutch oil giant Shell is likely to unify its complicated dual-board structure as part of its reforms to appease shareholders.
Operating company Royal Dutch/Shell, which is 60% owned by Royal Dutch and 40% owned by Shell, is reported to be planning to merge the boards as a ‘minimum’ concession.
Shell said ‘all options are being considered including a unified board to which a chief executive would report’.
Radical changes could involve the full merger of the two holding companies. The oil firm has been forced to review all aspects of its governance after admitting it overstated oil reserves.
Crude oil prices hit fresh highs yesterday, reaching $44.24 a barrel in New York after the head of Opec said that the cartel had no spare supplies to dampen prices.

His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
