Royal Dutch Shell (RDS.A) is perhaps the best example of a major that is suffering from diminishing returns on capital, faltering reserve replacement ratios (RRR), and significant excess capital yielding paltry returns. The stock has declined 4.83% year-to-date and 9.95% over the last year…
Shell seems to have fallen into the trap of chasing projects that are perceived as safe either because they are in benign jurisdictions or because they are the types of assets in which other majors are interested. In doing so, the company has exacerbated its risk profile by paying up for projects that depend on flat to rising commodity prices in order to generate acceptable returns. Shell’s woes in Alaska are a good example of the risks inherent in a region that conventional wisdom considers to be safe. The company has already spent $2.2 billion for leases to drill in offshore Alaska and approximately $2.8 billion for operations in the area over the past six years, without making any new discoveries. Shell failed last year to complete two exploration wells in offshore Alaska during the short ice-free summer season, and its drilling rig ran aground after breaking free from tow ships in high seas.

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.
