Shell Arctic drilling ‘risky’ – ex-BP boss Lord Browne
By Roger Harrabin: BBC environment analyst: 12 August 2015
Drilling for oil in the Arctic may harm Shell’s reputation and cost it dear, the former BP boss Lord Browne has said.
Shell has just started preliminary drilling in Alaska’s Chukchi Sea after several setbacks.
The firm’s CEO Ben van Beurden said he had gone on a “personal journey” before deciding the risks were containable.
But Lord Browne urged caution, saying the company’s long-term reputation could be affected.
Both men have given interviews to the BBC for a Radio 4 documentary series in the autumn – Climate change: Are we feeling lucky?
The TRUTH will set you FREE.
