Royal Dutch Shell faced embarrassment last night after withdrawing from a preliminary deal signed on Wednesday to take a majority stake in assets run by oil explorer Regal Petroleum.
It follows a surprise decision by Regal to replace its chief executive and chairman just 24 hours after agreeing with Shell to sell a 51pc stake in gas fields in the Ukraine.
News that Shell was working with Aim-listed Regal was seen by analysts as potentially risky.
Shell said: “Our memorandum of understanding with Regal was agreed with the previous management team. The management change at Regal was not expected by Shell.”
Regal, founded by ousted chief executive Frank Timis who still owns 20pc, has appointed David Greer sole chief executive and chairman.
Mr Greer is a former Shell executive who left after a ridiculed motivational email was leaked to the media.

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.
