COMMENT RECEIVED FROM A SHELL RELATED EXPERT: “And pigs can fly….remember that at the time of the Macondo blowout, the crew were also celebrating a period without an LTI”

Shell Companies in Nigeria said they have worked 10 months without lost-time injury, surpassing the previous safety record set in the Pearl gas-to-liquid (GTL) project in Qatar in 2010.
This means that staff and contractors of Shell Petroleum Development Company of Nigeria Ltd (SPDC), Shell Nigeria Exploration and Production Company (SNEPCo) and Shell Nigeria Gas (SNG) worked between December 2012 and September 2013 without any injury requiring time off work.
