Investors watching the takeover boom and wondering whether it is the start or the end of a period of high investment returns may want to have a look at Shell’s proposed takeover of BG.
Megadeals often tell us that the buyer is far more challenged than we know or he admits. Companies with good, reliable prospects almost never take such risks. Prospects for a dividend may play a large role in this deal.
When looking at the proposed purchase of BG, I note a striking similarity with RBS’s purchase of ABN Amro (ABN) in 2007. read more

An investigation by New York’s attorney-general into ExxonMobil’s record on climate science could trigger a “cascade” of similar claims against other oil companies, including Britain’s BP and Royal Dutch Shell, legal experts have warned.
Prosecutors might seek to investigate other companies that helped to fund organisations that queried climate science, such as the Global Climate Coalition, of which BP and Shell were members during the 1990s, they said. read more

Royal Dutch Shell (RDS.A, RDS.B) unveils a $1.3B carbon capture storage project for Alberta, but says future efforts to curb greenhouse gases will continue to need financial support from governments.
Shell CEO Ben van Beurden says carbon capture and storage projects need a $60-$80 price for carbon dioxide to justify building them, more than 5x the current price of C$15/ton (US$11.27) in Alberta.
Shell’s Quest facility will extract 1M tons of the gas from its Scotford refinery each year, and the carbon dioxide will be injected into an underground saline formation ~50 miles from the plant – it is the first in North America to store CO2 in a deep saline formation. read more

DAVID HOWELL, EDMONTON JOURNAL: November 6, 2015
Fort Saskatchewan — Shell and its partners Friday opened the $1.35-billion Quest carbon capture and storage project.
It is designed to capture and store more than one million tonnes of carbon-dioxide emissions a year from the bitumen upgrader at Scotford.
Built with financial help from the Alberta and federal governments, Quest is the world’s first oilsands CCS project. Shell says it can reduce CO2 emissions from the upgrader by up to 35 per cent, an amount equal to the annual emissions of 250,000 cars. read more

“President Obama is the first world leader to reject a project because of its effect on the climate,” said Bill McKibben, founder of the activist group 350.org, which led the campaign against the pipeline. “That gives him new stature as an environmental leader, and it eloquently confirms the five years and millions of hours of work that people of every kind put into this fight.”

WASHINGTON — President Obama announced on Friday that he had rejected the request from a Canadian company to build the Keystone XL oil pipeline, ending a seven-year review that had become a symbol of the debate over his climate policies.
Mr. Obama’s denial of the proposed 1,179-mile pipeline, which would have carried 800,000 barrels a day of carbon-heavy petroleum from the Canadian oil sands to the Gulf Coast, comes as he seeks to build an ambitious legacy on climate change. read more

Nov 6 (Reuters) – The U.S. rejection of the proposed Keystone XL pipeline was driven in part by protesters who are increasingly frustrated with inaction on climate change, Royal Dutch Shell Plc Chief Executive Ben van Beurden said on Friday.
Speaking at the launch of Shell’s new carbon capture and storage project in Alberta, the first Canadian project of its kind in the oil sands industry, van Beurden said anti-fossil-fuel movements are growing because of anxiety and resentment about a failure to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. read more
