Time is ripe for greater public control of the oil industry in Europe

But, as we have seen, the pursuit of personal reward by top executives, driven by a pursuit of profit above everything else, can lead to disaster – as it has in the banking sector and as it did for Enron and very nearly for Shell as well at the time of its “reserves crisis” a few years ago.

Oil on troubled waters

  • Sunday October 12 2008

Oil prices fell on Friday to below $80 per barrel, a one-year low. But analysts expect Opec to cut production at its next meeting in December, if not before. Oil majors like Shell have also sunk billions of dollars into expensive projects like oil sands and giant deep-water platforms. If oil prices keep falling, such costly investment will be scaled back. Together with Opec’s cuts, this makes it unlikely prices will fall much further. Over the longer term, global supplies remain extremely tight. Time to fill up with oil shares? read more

THIS DAY ONLINE
http://www.thisdayonline.com/

By Kingsley Nwezeh, 10.10.2008

The family of the slain writer and Ogoni rights activist, Ken Saro-Wiwa, has said the impending trial of oil giant, Royal Dutch Shell Petroleum, in the United States over the 1995 hanging of Saro-Wiwa and eight other Ogoni activists is a big relief.

THISDAY had reported yesterday that after several years of litigation, the trial of Royal Dutch Shell for alleged complicity in the murder of Saro-Wiwa and eight Ogoni activists will be held next year.

The case entitled Wiwa v. Royal Dutch Shell and Wiwa v. Anderson concerns the November 10, 1995 hangings of Ken Saro-Wiwa and eight other members of the Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People (MOSOP) known as “Ogoni Nine” and the shooting of a woman protesting the bulldozing of her farm by Shell in preparation for a pipeline project. read more

In the past: an oil company could say "trust me" and expect that to be enough. Today, people say, "tell me" "listen to me" "show me". Trust has to be earned by transparency.

Shell, the oil and gas giant which is trying to recover its reputation after last year’s reserves scandal, posted a 48 per cent jump in first-quarter profits as a result of the surging oil price and high refining margins.

However, overall production fell 2 per cent to 3.85 million barrels of oil equivalent a day, excluding divestments. Shell has recently increased spending on exploration and production to ramp up its production rate. read more

SHELL and Exxon Mobil made huge profits in the quarter to March, bringing fresh protests from motorists and consumer groups squeezed by soaring oil prices.

For most of 2004, Shell has found buyers for its shares as elusive as its “proven” oil reserves.

It was not so long ago, in June last year, that the stock was trading near parity with BP shares at a little over 400p.

Yesterday Shell shares closed at 386.75p, more than 20 per cent below the price of BP stock.

S&P said that although some of the quarter’s news was positive, including a sharp reduction in debt to $11.7 billion from $18.2 billion, there were also negatives, such as an erosion in oil and gas production and a planned $14.5 billion to $15 billion capital spending program for 2004 and 2005.

It all dates back to the operations of Sir Henri Deterding the born Hollander with a French first name, knighted by His Britannic Majesty and buried on his beloved estate in Northern Germany.

EXTRACTS

The author believes that the enormous financial and political power wielded by a really big-shot capitalist like Deterding is a very dangerous influence in world affairs – and particularly when such power is used, as Deterding, according to the author, used it in the post-war years to organize the forces of fascism in Europe, to wage an unremitting propaganda campaign against Soviet Russia and to subsidize the nazi movement in Germany. Besides subsidizing the nazis in the hope that Hitler will launch a crusade against Soviet Russia, Deterding, says the author, also admired Mussolini, sides with Franco, has his doubts about democracy, believes that youth should be “disciplined” and all “idlers” shot. read more

Article about Sir Henry Deterding “strong man of the billion dollar Royal Dutch Shell corporation…”

EXTRACT

Enjoys Nazi Monopoly

Thus, when his American oil rivals invaded Europe, and brought much of their supplies from Soviet Russia, Sir Henri opened up a broadside denouncing the U.S. interests for buying “immoral” products. Critics point out that the huge importations of Soviet oil and byproducts by Germany before Hitler’s rise to power have been curtailed and that Sir Henri now enjoys a monopoly in the Nazi state.

It explains why Royal Dutch Shell shares are comparatively stable after several startling slumps in the past, London financial figures declare. Though it has been revealed that many of the sober Dutch investors who own almost half of Royal Dutch Shell shares would be far happier if Sir Henri meddled less in international affairs and more with looking after the oil domain that radiates from the modest headquarters situated at The Hague, Holland’s capital. read more
