Shell has raised £2.1billion by selling a 10 per cent stake in Australia’s Woodside Petroleum as chief executive Peter Voser presses on with plans to streamline the group.

The sale reduces Shell’s holding in Woodside to 24 per cent and means the Anglo-Dutch firm has completed around £3.4billion of a plan to offload up to £5billion of assets by the end of the 2010-11 financial year. read more

Dutch scrap carbon plan

2010-11-05 07:41

The Hague – Plans for storing carbon dioxide underneath a small town, a strategy that reduces harmful emissions to combat global warming, were scrapped on Thursday by the Dutch government.

The government had planned to pump 11 million tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) in 2011 from a Royal Dutch Shell oil refinery into two depleted gas fields 2km under Barendrecht, a town of 43 000 people.

But Economic Affairs Minister Maxime Verhagen said the plan “is no longer possible in the short term” because it has already been delayed for three years and the town’s residents do not support it. read more

Shell Actually Implements a Blog!

Interesting article which assumes that RoyalDutchShellplc.com and the “Shell Blog” have been set up by Shell. The author praises the oil giant saying: “Shell is definitely making headway past BP, Exxon, and Chevron with implementing the blog…”

THE ARTICLE

Shell Actually Implements a Blog!

Posted on November 8, 2010 by Allie Romeo

My research is continuing in the area of corporations communicating with shareholders through social media. My next major oil and gas company that deals with shareholders and corporations using social media is Shell. I have hit on most of the major areas of corporations using social media with shareholders, but Shell adds a different element. Shell has a non-commercial blog that is aimed at making officials stand in compliance with Shell’s mission statement. Of course, the one major part of this is that Shell blogs a good amount about the financial end of the company. Shell also has a live news feed, and a webcast that can be accessed. This is a huge step, and a step above many of the other companies. From IR Web Report, using webcasts can allow for all types of shareholders to understand the financial information they are receiving. Blogging allows for feedback and two-way communication, which is what builds the relationships between the shareholders and the corporations. read more

Shell, which has not admitted guilt, must pay a further $18million to repay profits and interests.

Royal Dutch Shell Plc, Europe’s largest oil company, will finally be able to turn the page of its reserves scandal when a deadline for investors to make claims passes today.

Non-U.S. investors have until today to be part of the $352.6 million settlement, made after the company restated reserves in 2004.

Shell Bribes Among ‘Culture of Corruption’

The company said Shell’s Nigerian employees “specifically requested Panalpina Nigeria to provide false invoices with line items to mask the nature of the bribes.” Shell wanted to “hide the nature of the payments to avoid suspicion if anyone audited the invoices,” Panalpina said.

Shell separately admitted paying $2 million to Nigerian subcontractors on its deepwater Bonga Project.
