INDEPENDENT TD CLARE DALY has backed the calls of Shell to Sea campaigners for an independent inquiry into the policing of the Corrib gas project in Co Mayo. Speaking in the Dáil this afternoon, Daly said that the “continued intimidation and harassment of the local community” by Shell needed to be investigated. Daly claimed that certain gardaí monitoring the project were acting as “hired hands for a multinational” and “arresting people without charge”.

Shell to sell most of stake in Australia’s Woodside for $5.7 billion

(Reuters) – Royal Dutch Shell launched a long-anticipated sale of most of its stake in Australia’s Woodside Petroleum Ltd on Tuesday, looking to reap about $5.7 billion as it moves to focus on developing its own gas assets in Australia. The selldown, which reduces Shell’s holding to 4.5 percent from 23.1 percent, removes uncertainty that has weighed on Woodside’s share price since Shell sold a third of its stake in 2010 and flagged it was not a long term holder. The sale, which came the week Woodside’s stock hit a three-year high, had been expected this year after Shell Chief Executive Ben van Beurden took the helm in January outlining plans to sell $15 billion worth of assets.

Shell senses huge profit potential in China

Jun 13th, 2014

Multinational oil company Royal Dutch Shell Plc will continue to invest in China and considers the country to be its most important market in which to grow its retail business, a senior official said on Thursday.

Istvan Kapitany, executive vice-president of Shell Retail, said China plays a key role for the company in 70 targeted countries. “We will continue to invest in China since the potential of the retail market in China is significant,” said Kapitany.

According to the Netherlands-based company, Shell opened almost one service station per day in China in 2012 as demand grew. At present, the company operates about 1,100 service stations in the country.

Kapitany said the company is shifting its core market from Europe to Asia as the global economy changes. “Our business in Europe is no longer in a growth phase, but it is still growing in North America and Asia,” he said. As market leader in North America, Shell has 15,000 service stations in the United States and Canada.

In China, the petroleum retail industry is dominated by Sinopec Group, the country’s largest refiner, and PetroChina Corp, the nation’s biggest oil and gas producer.

By the end of 2013, Sinopec owned more than 30,500 gas stations in the country, accounting for about 33 percent of the total market, and PetroChina had more than 20,000. The two giants together take up more than half of the country’s gas retail businesses.

In order to diversify the ownership of State-owned companies, Sinopec announced in February that it would open up 30 percent of its retail businesses to social capital and private investors.

Kapitany said Shell is seeking details about this new move.

Yann Cohen, partner with Monitor Deloitte’s Energy & Chemicals unit, said foreign companies cannot operate a retail gas station unless partnered with a Chinese player, which means overseas companies may wish to look for integrated partnerships along the value chain, combining refining, wholesaling and retailing.

“In China, it is not simple due to specific cost allocations and regulated pricing, but the rule of thumb is ‘you lose money in refining and earn money in retailing,’” he said.

China’s service stations, in particular, have huge potential for non-fuel businesses.

Rebecca Chan, retail director of Shell China Ltd, said the retail industry will see a higher-than-GDP growth of non-fuel income from service stations in coming years as China’s consumption power grows.

She said the country saw double-digit growth of non-fuel income in recent years for the whole industry.

“We have rich experience in the non-fuel sector in our service stations in global markets, and Shell China will bring ones that can fit into the market,” Kapitany said.

He said up to 60 percent of Shell Retail’s income in Norway is from non-fuel businesses such as car washes, fast food and convenience stores.

India’s Essar Group plans to sell the British oil refinery it bought from Royal Dutch Shell for $350m in 2011, as the struggling conglomerate attempts to reduce debts and refocus on its core Indian business. “The truth is they should never have bought Stanlow, but Shell sold it on the cheap…”

Where is the queue to issue libel writs against John Donovan?

Jun 12th, 2014

Will the findings prompt some of the named cops to issue libel writs against me?No, not a chance, because they know the truth and have got no intention of taking any action that ends up with them having to give evidence under oath. Consequently there is not a single soul who has or will take legal action.

By John Donovan

The proof is provided below that since OSSL allegations of Shell sponsored corruption on the Corrib Gas Project were first brought to my attention in September 2012, I have written and published over 100 articles on the subject. Our regular visitors must be thoroughly bored by the subject. I know that at least one is.

I have named numerous individuals as having knowledge of these matters and named senior Garda Cops that were up to their necks in the free Shell booze scandal.

Last August I published an article: Where is my defamation writ from Shell?

For some reason Shell was not obliging.

Neither were any of the named cops.

No writs. No queue. Wonder why?

The next chapter in the OSSL saga is imminent with the pending publication of the findings of an investigation led by Johan Groenewald from the Irish Police Ombudsman Dept. Sorry I can’t help with any background credentials for this individual since I cannot find any. Having become slightly unglued in the bizarre correspondence with me, he preempted and undermined the credibility of his verdict by poring scorn on the integrity of OSSL and rubbishing a pile of evidence supplied by OSSL that he has apparently discarded without investigation.

I brought this strange situation to the attention of Enda Kenny T.D. the Irish Prime Minister (the Taoiseach) and received a response from David King, his private Secretary, advising that the correspondence has been passed to Frances Fitzgerald, the Irish Minister for Justice.

Will the Gronewald findings prompt some of the named cops to issue libel writs against me?

No, not a chance, because they know the truth and have no intention of taking any action that ends up with them having to give evidence under oath.

Consequently there is not a single soul who has or will take legal action.

Numerous firms, individuals and Garda officers know the truth, but all have remained silent and thus become participants in the cover-up.

Weighing the Risks of Investing in Energy Companies

Jun 12th, 2014

Extracts from an article by Stanley Reed published 11 June 2014 by The New York Times

…fund managers beginning to think skeptically about fossil fuel companies — not so much because they or their clients disapprove of their activities, but because they think the securities issued by these companies may prove poor long-term investments.

The reasoning, which has caught the attention of major oil companies like Royal Dutch Shell, is that after a period of relative inaction, world governments may be heading toward adopting tougher rules on emissions, transforming the economics of the energy business. Investment professionals say that there hasn’t been a mass exodus out of fossil fuels.

…even though the major energy companies might not be in investors’ cross hairs now, they should be following the debate. “Any company not paying attention to what its stakeholders are saying and thinking is playing a risky game…”

The Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) is responding to an equipment failure on board the Deepwater Nautilus semisubmersible drilling rig in the Gulf of Mexico, approximately 100 miles south of Fourchon, La.

The traveling block is a large piece of equipment that supports the top drive which rotates drill pipe. There are no reports of injuries to personnel. There is no reported pollution.
