Royal Dutch Shell News Roundup 25 August 2014
RUSSIA
Jeroen van der Veer, the former Royal Dutch Shell CEO who evaded responsibility for his role in the cover-up of the Shell reserves fraud, claims that the sanctions against Russia are not working and are counter-productive. This analysis comes from the man who badly misjudged the Putin regime in 2006 and as a result, ended up meekly surrendering Shell’s majority stake in the Sakhalin 2 project.

UK
The British government has just introduced a rule requiring oil, gas and mining companies registered in the UK to disclose all payments made to the governments of countries in which they operate. The new rule, which comes into force in 2015, is designed to result in greater transparency, something alien to oil companies such as Shell. Problems may arise in relation to Nigeria where Shell has a decades long history of corruption involving a succession of odious regimes.
AUSTRALIA
Woodside Petroleum boss Peter Coleman has indicated that Woodside will not help Shell reduce its stake in the company. Coleman says there is no plan B and the next move is up to Shell. A recent buyback plan embarrassingly failed to receive shareholder approval so Shell is stuck with its unwanted reduced stake in Woodside. And Woodside is stuck with Shell.
Shell smashed to bits across Adelaide, South Australia?

I have printed below the content of an email I received from Mr. Bruce Hubbard together with a related email I sent to Mr. Michiel Brandjes, Company Secretary and General Counsel Corporate, Royal Dutch Shell Plc. As can be seen, I gave Shell the opportunity to deny the allegations. I have not received any response.

Corporate crime by Shell, its solicitors and the Government of South Australia.
I destroyed the Shell company right across Adelaide.
Treasurer Stephen Baker shut the lot down.
Shell were asked to return the service station they stole from my father Colin Hubbard and his widow Mrs Lucy Hubbard at 422 Pulteney Street.
In a meeting at Shell office Hindmarsh Square with Leon Holmes chairman’s representative, and Richard Osmotherly “network development” manager, they were demonstrated Shell’s fraud.
Richard Osmotherly found that he no longer had a “network” to develop.
Leon Holmes found himself working at the RAA.
Shell lawyers came into court off the street without summons and took $500 from my mother Mrs Lucy Hubbard, her pension money, thanks to the magistrate.
It cost Shell 10 site closures and more, estimated value and site pollution remediation $10 million.
Estimated revenue loss for Royal Dutch Petroleum for the past 17 years for these 10 sites plus others across Adelaide is well in excess of $1 billion.
You don’t mess with me.
