Court of Appeal to hear Shell Centre legal challenge

Campaigner George Turner will be allowed to make his case against communities secretary Eric Pickles’ 2014 decision to approve the scheme.

Developer Braeburn Estates – a joint venture of Canary Wharf Group and Qatari Diar – intends to create seven apartments, about 76,000 square metres of office space, 110,000 square metres of residential space, and 6,000 square metres of shops, restaurants and cafés on the site on London’s South Bank.

Pickles agreed with a planning inspector that the proposals should be approved and a High Court judge earlier this yearbacked his decision and rejected a legal challenge by Turner.

Shell Rules Out Divestment in Nigeria, Others This Year

Royal Dutch Shell said yesterday it had reduced its expected 2015 capital expenditure (capex) to $33 billion from $35 billion as the company continues to adjust its business to the lower oil-price.

Releasing its first-quarter results yesterday, Shell’s Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Simon Henry said the capex this year would be $33 billion, or “potentially less,” a reduction of at least $2 billion compared with guidance given by Shell three months ago.

Henry said that it had highlighted a number of projects where it could reduce its financial exposure, including the Majnoon project in Iraq and Carmon Creek in Canada.

Royal Dutch Shell has declined to rule out a write-down of its multibillion-dollar investment in its Arrow Energy natural gas venture in Queensland, depending on decisions taken to develop the gas after the oil major’s $US92 billion ($116.62 billion) takeover of BG Group.

Chief financial officer Simon Henry told investors in London that the Arrow venture, owned equally by Shell and PetroChina, needed to think about “the best way forward to monetise” Arrow gas and create value from its position.

Oil major deals blow to Aim minnow

What was a good day for Royal Dutch Shellinvestors was a disaster for shareholders in an Aim-listed minnow that depended on the oil major for most of its revenues.

While B shares in Shell gained 25½p to £20.94½ on better than expected quarterly profits, Arria NLG cratered 22½p, or 72.6pc, to 8½p after the software business shocked investors with the announcement that the oil company, its biggest customer, had scrapped its contract.

Last May, Arria unveiled a three-year deal with Shell in which the FTSE 100 business had agreed to pay as much as $10m to use its artificial intelligence-driven technology, software that analyses vast amounts of data and within seconds produces written reports. On Thursday, Arria revealed that its services were now longer required by Shell.

BY MARCUS LEROUX: FRIDAY 1 MAY 2015

Royal Dutch Shell’s main investors have questioned the oil company’s £45 billion takeover of BG Group, the company conceded yesterday.

As it announced first-quarter results that beat even the most optimistic of City forecasts, Shell said that it had visited most of its main shareholders to explain the deal’s rationale.

Simon Henry, chief financial officer, said that some institutional shareholders had expressed concerns over the scale of the deal and its valuation but added that there was unanimous support for its underlying logic.
