The U.S. Interior Department on Friday said it would cancel two potential Arctic offshore lease sales after Royal Dutch Shell PLC (RDSa.L) said that it was not interested in those leases.

“In light of Shell’s announcement, the amount of acreage already under lease and current market conditions, it does not make sense to prepare for lease sales in the Arctic in the next year and a half,” Interior Secretary Sally Jewell said in a statement.

Shell said last month it was giving up its Arctic search for oil after failing to find enough crude oil. read more

Royal Dutch Shell Plc. is one of the world’s leading oil & gas companies with operations all across the globe. The company has been hit hard by the current downtrend of low crude oil prices and its average price realizations in both upstream and downstream segments have suffered as a result. Consequently, we believe that Royal Dutch Shell’s Trefis adjusted total revenue for the year 2015 will decline by close to 30% as compared to last year and amount to $337.3 billion (Calculated revenue figures not subjected to any intersegment elimination). However, we believe that a gradual recovery in oil prices in subsequent years will lead to a period of growth in Royal Dutch Shell’s revenues and the company’s revenues will be just shy of $450 billion by the end of our forecast period (2022). Our price target for Royal Dutch Shell stands at $62, implying a premium of more than 10% to the market. In this piece, we try to analyze some of the key drivers we have used in our valuation of Royal Dutch Shell. read more

Global warming over the past few years has become a major issue. Companies around the world keep on pumping and burning record levels of conventional fossil fuels. Burning of fossil fuels leads to carbon emissions, which are highly detrimental for the environment. Activists have now have taken a stern hand regarding pollution and are urging companies to adopt safer cleaner fuels. President Barack Obama recently also stressed upon the importance of using alternatives, such as natural gas, which are safer for the environment. read more

Would you like £44 for £39.55? Or how about £12 for £10.80? These are not illegal scams, but the differences between the offer prices from AB InBev for SABMiller and Royal Dutch Shell’s for BG.

Shell’s chief executive would have to go if his BG deal falls through.

Two drill vessels officially left Arctic waters after Royal Dutch Shell announced that the company would cease exploration in the Chuckchi and Beaufort seas. After a $7 billion investment and a standoff with kayaktivists, Shell cited a “disappointing exploration outcome,” meaning there’s oil in the Arctic, but not enough where they drilled to justify the cost. It’s a classic industry gamble called wildcatting: oil companies invest in an unexplored area hoping to strike black gold in the hidden reservoirs thousands of feet below the surface. read more

SINGAPORE (ICIS)–The force majeure (FM) on base chemicals supply from Shell’s manufacturing site in Pulau Bukum in Singapore has forced some downstream units to cut their run rates or temporarily halt production, industry sources said on Friday.

Shell experienced an “operational upset” at its cracker complex at the Bukom site on 14 October, which resulted in flaring. The company declared force majeure on base chemical products on the same day.

The ethylene cracker on Bukom produces feedstocks primarily for the downstream chemical plants on Jurong Island which are sent via an undersea pipeline. read more
