Malcolm Brinded, one of the top executives at Royal Dutch Shell who is hanging on to his job in the shake-up ordered by new chief executive Peter Voser, gave an interesting presentation last week setting out the companys view of the outlook 2020.
His message: Shell can grow its production out to 2020, but the oil price will need to stay above $70 to make all of its potential investments profitable.
His speech, to a Credit Suisse conference in London, was a corrective to some of the gloomier stories about the production outlook that came out following the companys annual strategy update in March.
Shell to blend biofuels with heating oil in Germany
Fri Jun 12, 2009 3:26pm BST
HAMBURG, June 12 (Reuters) – Oil giant Royal Dutch Shell (RDSa.L) is launching heating oil with a 10 percent biofuel blend content in Germany, it said on Friday.
Germany compels biofuel blending in vehicle fuels but not in heating oil.
Shell was starting the blending with heating oil voluntarily after positive trials with consumers, a spokesman for the company’s German unit Shell Deutschland Oil said.
The blending component will be largely based on rapeseed oil and sunflower oil, she said.

A payout could encourage others
ON JUNE 8th Royal Dutch Shell agreed to pay out $15.5m to the Ogoni people of the Niger Delta to settle a long-running court case brought against the oil giant in America by nine plaintiffs, including relatives of Ken Saro-Wiwa, an environmentalist and writer. He was executed by the brutal government of General Sani Abacha after a charade of a trial in 1995. Mr Saro-Wiwa had led a successful campaign against Shells activities in his homeland, even forcing the company to quit Ogoniland in 1993. The plaintiffs accused Shell of complicity in the activists death.
A general rule to constrain executive pay
Sir, Jeroen van der Veer deserves great credit for admitting that his performance would not have been different had he been paid 50 per cent more or 50 per cent less (Departing Shell chief calls for pay shake-up, June 9).
More Shell propaganda aimed at recommencing the plunder of Ogoni land
Ultimately, I hope to see oil being produced in Ogoni land again one day. This time bringing economic opportunity and better livelihoods, not bloodshed."
Shell denies trawler sinking plot
THE PRESS ASSOCIATION
Thursday 11 June 2009Energy giant Shell has strongly denied any involvement in the alleged sinking of a trawler carrying protesters opposed to its controversial new gas terminal in Co Mayo.
Two men were rescued from the stricken boat Iona Isle in the early hours of Thursday morning, with one claiming a masked and armed gang boarded and sank the vessel.
Pat O’Donnell, a prominent critic of Shell’s planned refinery at Glengad, said they were held for almost two hours before being forced to flee the vessel.
Further arrests at Shell compound
On Thursday afternoon, Shell issued a statement "emphatically rejecting any allegation that people employed on the Corrib Gas project were involved in any way in the incident which led to the sinking of the Iona Isle".
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.
