Shell said the suspension of chip and pin was a temporary measure
|
Petrol giant Shell has suspended chip-and-pin payments in 600 UK petrol stations after more than £1m was siphoned out of customers' accounts.
Eight people, including one from Guildford, Surrey and another from Portsmouth, Hants, have been arrested in connection with the fraud inquiry.
The Association of Payment Clearing Services (Apacs) said the fraud related to just one petrol chain.
Shell said it hoped to reintroduce chip-and-pin as soon as possible.

OUT for a stroll here this past Monday, I stopped in my tracks. Bolivian soldiers had surrounded my local gas station, where a banner read, “Property of the Bolivian State.” They were among several thousand soldiers posted at the more than 50 oil fields and refineries around this landlocked nation, which holds the continent's largest natural gas reserves after Venezuela. Latin America's newest populist leader, President Evo Morales, had just issued a decree nationalizing Bolivia's petroleum. read more Like this:Like Loading...

As Profits Surge, Oil Giants Find Hurdles Abroad

Published: May 6, 2006
To many Americans, oil companies like Exxon Mobil or Chevron appear all powerful, pocketing record profits as energy costs soar. But in many countries around the world, high oil prices are also making life considerably harder for big oil companies.

Bolivia, which took control of oil and gas fields this week, wants a larger portion of sales from the big fields.

Sharply higher energy prices have shifted the power to oil-producing countries, as some governments seek a larger share of the riches. As a result, even as Western oil companies expand their reach through acquisitions and multibillion-dollar projects, a resurgence of nationalist policies is weakening their influence. read more Like this:Like Loading...

The speculator is back as the market bogeyman.
He has long been blamed as the agent of boom and bust, whether in Dutch tulips or dotcom shares.
Precisely who or what he is, is seldom made clear. But everyone, it seems, agrees on where he is: the speculator is in the wrong. read more Like this:Like Loading... This website and sisters royaldutchshellplc.com, shellnazihistory.com, royaldutchshell.website,

Shell scraps reserves target as it pushes up spending
By Carl Mortished, International Business Editor |
ROYAL Dutch Shell yesterday abandoned its target of replacing every barrel pumped from its proven reserves, as it raised spending to record levels in an effort to boost its oil and gas output.
The oil major said that it would raise its spending from a budgeted $19 billion (£10 billion) this year to $21 billion next year, the highest among its peers, with a focus on oil sands and synthetic fuels. However, the Dutch company is being forced to shelve projects because of a scarcity of skilled labour and equipment.
Jeroen van der Veer, Shell’s chief executive, said that the group still intended to meet its target of four million barrels per day by 2009 but its focus on unconventional hydrocarbons, such as its Canadian oil sands business and a gas-to-liquids project in Qatar, might prevent it from meeting a target of 100 per cent replacement of proven reserves as defined by the US Securities and Exchange Commission.
Shell is struggling to replace each barrel it pumps from the ground and replaced only between 60 and 70 per cent of the 3.5 million barrels per day produced last year. The company is hamstrung by regulation because some six billion barrels locked in Albertan oil sands are excluded from its proven reserves by SEC rules, which define these as mining operations, not oil exploration.

Oil wrestling: how nationalist politics has muscled back into world energy

More than a decade after founding the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, Juan Pablo Perez Alfonzo fell out of love with oil.
Deeply disappointed by the destructive impact high oil prices had had on petroleum-producing nations such as his native Venezuela, in 1976 he branded it the “devil's excrement”. read more Like this:Like Loading...
