Tax bills hit Exxon and Shell
Nigeria is demanding Shell and ExxonMobil pay a combined total of almost $2bn (£1bn) in unpaid taxes and revenues after a review of contracts covering huge offshore oilfields signed in the early 1990s.
Bidding War for Expro International
Rising oil prices and depleting reserves at existing fields forced oil companies to seek access to oil in politically fragile locations that are harder and more expensive to reach. Some analysts expect oil companies, like Exxon Mobil, Royal Dutch Shell and Chevron, to increase their spending on exploration this year.
Why big guns back the new Russian revolution
Shell and BP's oil reserves are falling fast, but not so at Gazprom, now the world's third largest stockmarket-quoted company.
Oil price rise makes fools of us all: “apologies to Sir Mark Moody-Stuart for reminding him of this little gem…”.
The key players are no longer the oil majors such as Shell. Resource-rich countries such as Russia, Venezuela and Iran are sufficiently confident to do without their help (or, at least, they demand a bigger slice of the spoils). The balance of power has shifted.
The world’s oceans at risk from rising acidity
A significant increase in the acidity of the Pacific Ocean has been detected by scientists, who believe it could upset the delicate balance of marine ecosystems and lead to their collapse.
Spain’s drought: a glimpse of our future?
Barcelona is a dry city. It is dry in a way that two days of showers can do nothing to alleviate. The Catalan capital's weather can change from one day to the next, but its climate, like that of the whole Mediterranean region, is inexorably warming up and drying out. And in the process this most modern of cities is living through a crisis that offers a disturbing glimpse of metropolitan futures everywhere.
Energy adviser puts forward powerful case for hydrogen
Johnson Matthey estimates that at least £1billion is being spent on hydrogen energy annually by companies including Shell, Rolls-Royce, Ford, BMW and Honda.
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.
IN JULY 2007, MR BILL CAMPBELL (ABOVE, A RETIRED GROUP AUDITOR OF SHELL INTERNATIONAL SENT AN EMAIL TO EVERY UK MP AND MEMBER OF THE HOUSE OF LORDS:
