To accomplish its goal of boosting cash flow and returns, Shell has identified two key business units as prime targets for restructuring over the next few years. The first business unit to be reorganized is Shell’s upstream Americas segment, where more than $24 billion in spending on North American shale oil and gas assets over the past few years has failed to generate sufficient returns. The unit swung to a $900 million loss last year, as Shell was forced to write down the value of its shale gas and liquids-rich assets by about $2.5 billion. To remedy the situation, Shell plans to reduce upstream Americas spending by 20% this year and also plans to cut the unit’s staff by 30% from around 1,800 to 1,400.

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.
