Chile's Calbuco volcano erupted Wednesday

Chile's Calbuco volcano erupted Wednesday for the first time in more than 42 years, billowing a huge ash cloud over the mountainous region.

Residents in nearby towns were evacuated because of the volcanic activity.

The 6,500-foot Calbuco volcano last erupted in 1972 and is considered one of the most potentially dangerous among Chile’s 90 active volcanos.

Time-lapse video footage showed an ash cloud forming as the volcano erupted.

Shell, Exxon set the scene for future oil-price shock after $US114 billion cuts

As the oil patch grows accustomed to a new world of $US50 to $US60 crude, it’s now looking ahead to a different but equally daunting sort of cliff.

Oil companies are warning there will be a price to pay – a much higher price – for all the cost cutting being done today to cope with the collapse in the crude market. Big projects intended to start pumping oil and natural gas 5 to 10 years from now are being canceled or put on hold as the price crash forced $US114 billion in spending cuts on the industry.

ABRUPT EXIT OF SHELL TREASURER ANDY LONGDEN

ABRUPT EXIT OF SHELL TREASURER ANDY LONGDEN

I believe that high profile gaps in Andy’s broad scope of his roles & responsibilities (R&R), 12 years in the same role, (too long for a senior executive), loss of key sponsor(s), and the perceived need for a game changer that delivers on Ben’s strategy, new operational approach, and heavier (Treasury, M&A, Pensions, and governance) Finance footprint, might have been key in his departure.

Also, remember that Andy and Ben Van Burden come from very different backgrounds. Ben is a Shell homegrown senior leader (with 30+ years), while Andy is an experienced hire. Common knowledge is that the retention history for experienced hires senior leaders is poor at Shell. Why? My understanding is that because Shell is a relationship company, many experienced hires are unable to adequately fit in and build the mentor/sponsor /other relationships that are critical for success in the company.

Shell Pensioners Revolt

Shell Pensioners Revolt

By John Donovan

Trouble is brewing for Shell in the UK as Shell pensioners revolt against the proposed change of name of their association. The “Shell Pensioners’ Association” (SPA) is open to all Shell pensioners in the UK and arranges a raft of social and other events through its Branch network. It also publishes a quarterly magazine, “SPA News”.

With the latest edition comes an announcement of a plan to change the name of the Club to “Shell Pecten Association” – the rationale being that younger new Shell pensioners are put off joining the SPA because they don’t wish to be seen as pensioners! No evidence to support this claim is provided.
