SHELL sparked outrage yesterday by revealing profits of £372 a second.
The oil giant made £5.85 billion in the first half of the year – up 27 per cent on the same period in 2004.
The firm’s profit is just below the near £6billion – or £422 a second -reported this week by rival BP.
Union Amicus called the profit “grotesque” and accused Shell of putting cash before staff safety. The company was fined £900,000 in April for health and safety lapses over the deaths of two Scottish workers in 2003. Keith Moncrieff, 45, and Sean McCue, 22, were overcome by gas on the Brent Bravo platform.
Amicus official Graham Tran said: “As a matter of urgency Shell must use these inflated profits to invest in improving maintenance standards on offshore facilities.” Friends of the Earth renewed calls for a windfall tax on the company.
Shell chief executive Jeroen van der Veer said: “We spend a lot of money on fading new oil and gas and it’s the right thing to do. Otherwise supplies will remain tight and prices will continue to rise.”
Shell added that millions were being spent on maintenance and health and safety issues.
Despite soaring fuel prices for motorists, Shell claimed it has recently lost money at the pump.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. 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.
