With oil at three-month lows, concerns about Royal Dutch Shell ’s debt burden left it among Monday’s biggest fallers.

RBC said that while investors had become more comfortable with Shell’s purchase of BG, the weak oil price had shifted attention to Shell’s $75bn of net debt and its reliance on disposals.

It’s unlike the CFO of an oil major to be imprecise when it comes to accounting classifications of assets.

Unless maybe he doesn’t mind causing a bit of mischief for a joint venture partner with whom relationships have been less than rosy of late.

Shell finance director Simon Henry set the hares running last week during a second-quarter earnings call when he declared the company’s 13.3 per cent stake in Woodside Petroleum had been reclassified first as “held available for sale” and then “held as an asset for sale”. read more

No one has claimed responsibility for an attack on a Shell pipeline in the early morning hours in the Niger Delta region on Sunday.

The attack came at about 1:00 AM local time on the Trans Ramos Pipeline near Odimodi—a pipeline owned by Shell Petroleum Development Company.

According to resident Godspower Gbenekama, residents heard a loud explosion and found an oil spill. There have been no reports of any injuries in the incident.

Another resident, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said that this was not the first time militants had hit the pipeline, stating: “Precisely on the 22nd of this month, there was a failed attempt to attack the same facility, hence we were expecting that security in the area would have been tightened, but we are really disappointed that they succeeded this time.” read more

Suspected militants have attacked an oil pipeline operated by a local affiliate of Shell in Nigeria’s restive southern Niger Delta region, locals and a community group said on Monday.

Militants have attacked oil and gas facilities in the OPEC member’s energy hub over the last few months, cutting the country’s crude production — which stood at 2.2 million barrels per day (bpd) at the start of the year — by around 700,000 bpd.

Nobody has claimed responsibility for a blast at the Trans Ramos Pipeline near Odimodi, operated by Shell’s joint venture SPDC, which locals said happened in the early hours of Sunday shortly after 1:00 a.m. (08:00 EDT). Shell said the line was closed for repairs. read more

Just when you thought oil prices will rebound they got even worse. The last few weeks have been quite eventful for the oil and gas industry, with companies releasing their second-quarter earnings. The quarter hasn’t been as rewarding for integrated oil and gas majors.

The decline in crude oil price has persisted for quite a while now. West Texas Intermediate was down 0.50% at $41.40 per barrel, while Brent Crude was down 0.32% at $43.39 per barrel, earlier today. read more
