sHeLL’s ONsHORe ReVOLUTIONemployees get the facts at Onshore week

Tight and shale gas were the main focus for U.S.-based employees recently during a special Onshore Week, timed to coincide with CEO Peter Voser’s visit to Houston, where he delivered a keynote address to the CERAWeek industry conference. Voser described the significance of the recent growth in natural gas reserves, explained potential benefits of GTL (gas-to-liquids) technology for gaining additional value from North America’s huge gas reserves and highlighted work to transform reserves into liquefied natural gas for transportation.

Among the many topics covered were the significance of natural gas, both for Shell and the world’s energy future. Employees also looked at the opportunities for gas monetization and, most importantly, how Shell manages its onshore assets safely—addressing the facts and fiction around hydraulic fracturing and highlighting Shell’s own Onshore Tight Sand/Shale Oil & Gas Operating Principles. These were launched last year to address concerns with the belief that the group can explore, develop and produce these resources safely and responsibly.

peTeR VOseR AT ceRAweeK 2012The growth in natural gas reserves is the most significant energy development in decades. That was the message delivered by CEO Peter Voser in a keynote address during the recent CERAWeek Executive Conference in Houston. Voser described gas as a “secure, abundant force for good” and outlined what industry and policymakers would need to do to ensure society fully leverages the benefits of natural gas, echoing President Obama’s words that the country could become the “Saudia Arabia of natural gas.”

“Can our industry earn the public trust by developing this cleanest fossil fuel responsibly and safely—in a way that protects the environment and reduces greenhouse gases?” Voser asked.

He urged the industry to do a better job of listening and responding to public concerns about environmental and operational challenges associated with gas production, and called for well-targeted and robustly enforced regulations to ensure

production of tight and shale gas is done to the highest standards.

“The new abundance of gas is helping the United States and other countries rebuild their economies and become more competitive,” he said. “It’s doing this not only through job creation, but by reducing energy costs and boosting other critical industries.”

“We think GTL technology could make a lot of sense.”

He then explained the opportunity for Shell’s advanced gas-to-liquids (GTL) technology in North America, proven possible on a huge scale at Pearl GTL in Qatar. “We think GTL technology could make a lot of sense. It would further reduce the need for imported oil while deriving greater value from this region’s natural gas resources.”

Voser said that North America’s gas resources, combined with new oil opportunities in the Gulf of Mexico, in arctic Alaska and in deposits of

liquid-rich shale and heavy oil, could mean the region is positioned to become far more energy secure than it had been in decades. “This ‘gas revolution,’ this ‘golden age of gas,’ this ‘shale gale’ is the best, most promising opportunity we have today to make substantial progress toward a cleaner, more secure, more abundant and more affordable energy supply.

“Our industry has the talent, the experience and the capability to do the job right. It’s time we make it happen. I’m confident we will.”

MeeT MARs Bshell’s largest TLp quietly makes history

Shell’s largest tension-leg platform (TLP) in the Gulf of Mexico (GoM)—the Mars B project—was approved with very little fanfare in 2010 in the months following the Macondo incident. Since that time, the project has been quietly making huge strides in safety performance, construction success and social investment goals. Now it’s time to make some noise about its accomplishments. significance of the projectMars B will increase access to the prolific Mars oil and gas field, capitalizing on U.S. resources and extending the potential of the GoM as an important domestic energy resource and economic generator. The project will add infrastructure and 30 new wells to complement Shell’s Mars A operation, which has been producing oil and gas from the Mars field for 14 years.

complexity and scale Mars B will use some of the largest equipment and most advanced operational systems deployed in the U.S. GoM to better access one of its greatest resource basins. And, it’s being designed to operate for 50 years, the longest design life of a TLP in Shell’s history.

“Mars B is the first GoM deepwater project of its kind to expand an existing oil field operation and is setting a new standard for smart recovery and long-term resource access,” says Business Opportunity Manager Derek Newberry. “Mars B will prolong our ability to recover oil and gas from the Mars field by 25 years, resulting in hundreds of millions of barrels of additional production.” “It’s a long-term commitment that will bring jobs and value to the states along the U.S. Gulf Coast and to Louisiana, in particular,” says Mary Grace Anderson, Mars development manager. Construction Team Lead Mark Kite puts it another way: “We’re building something that our grandkids could be working on.”

Mars B is one of the first Shell Deepwater projects to incorporate a significant social investment component in its budget—pledging $5 million to community projects ranging from support of an orphanage in Korea to coastal restoration projects in Texas and Louisiana.

About MarsThe Mars field was discovered in 1989 and brought onto production in 1996. The prolific deep-water field lies in approximately 3,000 feet of water. Shell owns 71.5 percent of the field and serves as operator. BP owns the other 28.5 percent. The initial Mars A development was a 24-well TLP. The new Mars B project will complement the existing Mars TLP, adding infrastructure in the Mars field and 30 new wells to continue to produce oil and gas until 2060. Mars B, which is composed of the Olympus TLP and a subsea tie-back of two newly discovered fields, West Boreas and South Deimos, will produce at a rate of 100,000 barrels of oil equivalent a day when it comes on production in 2015.

Global reachShell is investing billions of dollars in the Mars B project, which is being executed globally across multiple locations in South Korea, Europe and the United States. “There’s been very little hype around the project, but it is one of the first and most complex developments to be undertaken in the GoM post-Macondo. It also has a global reach; we’re accessing resources from around the globe to contribute to its construction and installation,” Anderson says. Construction of the TLP and drilling rig began in 2010, with the first cut of steel of the Shallow Water Platform West Delta 143C in 2011. The hull, which is being fabricated in South Korea by Samsung Heavy Industries, is 74 percent complete and on schedule to leave the shipyard this November for a two-month transport to Corpus Christi, Texas, where it will be mated with the topsides. Construction of the topsides by Kiewit Offshore Service is 42 percent complete.

5SHELL NEWS

Shell is drawing on its five decades of experience in operating in the GoM to bring Mars B online safely, completely and on time. “A lot of our site team members working on the topsides and hull have worked on Shell TLPs all the way back to Auger, our first TLP,” says Mark Kite.

“We’re taking advantage of the past experience of our employees and contractors to make sure we end up with a good product.” Clifford (Kip) Mankenberg, Hull Fabrication site lead, says the construction team in Korea has faced numerous challenges, including the March 2011 Japanese earthquake and tsunami, which shut down the project’s primary steel supplier, historically rainy weather and labor stoppages due to labor contract negotiations. “Our keys to success include a well-written contract, good level of scope definition prior to the start of contract execution, a strong Shell site team and cultivation of a very good working relationship with the hull fabricator, Samsung,” he says.

A LOVe OF cARspennzoil® launches new campaign

To celebrate the passion drivers have for their automobiles, the makers of Pennzoil are launching the next phase of the brand’s Long Love Cars campaign, which is designed to offer meaningful ways for consumers to connect with the brand everywhere cars are adored.

The campaign focuses on common themes associated with automotive passion, including music and freedom, as well as sharing the joy with others. To celebrate those themes, Pennzoil has elected car enthusiast and “Artist of the Decade” Tim McGraw as its brand ambassador and will sponsor this summer’s 2012 Brothers of the Sun Tour with McGraw.

“People love cars; they name them, take pictures with them and form deep personal connections with them, and we want people to know they can trust Pennzoil to make exceptional motor oils because we love cars, too,” says Bree Sandlin,

Pennzoil global brand manager. “The Long Love Cars campaign is a celebration of drivers and their cars. Everything we are doing this year is geared to talking about that love in bigger ways than ever before.”

Pennzoil will offer fans exclusive Tim McGraw content, including behind-the-scenes videos from the road and strategic online promotions. All of this content will be available only to “fans” of the brand on the Pennzoil Facebook, Twitter and YouTube pages. “Music has always been associated with cars for me,” says McGraw. “There’s a bond that’s formed between a guy and a car and it starts when you’re young. It’s always been the way I’ve listened to music; I would listen to demos in the car. My car represents freedom.”

Restoring freedom to drive for injured veterans Additionally, the makers of Pennzoil motor oil will team up with the Paralyzed Veterans of America (PVA)

to support PVA’s Mission: ABLE program. The two-year, $100,000 donation will go toward retrofitting vehicles for injured veterans, including removing seats, installing hand-controls or mounting ramps.

“We all know and love that sense of freedom you get behind the wheel of a car,” says Bill Lawson, national president of PVA and automobile enthusiast. “Multiply that feeling of freedom by a million, and that’s what it feels like to be able to drive again after being paralyzed. It really does give you back your independence. We are deeply grateful to the Pennzoil brand for their support.”

sHeLL ecO-MARATHON Future driving, future energy In the first of this year’s three Eco-marathon competitions, over 1,000 high school and university students recently competed in Houston to build a Prototype or UrbanConcept vehicle that could go the farthest using the least amount of energy. It was the third year the competition took place in the energy capital of the world. As energy demand continues to increase, along with gasoline prices, students from Mater Dei High School in Evansville, Indiana, demonstrated

just how fuel-efficient vehicles can become with the help of innovative design and a lot of hard work. Their entry achieved an impressive best run of 2,188 miles per gallon (mpg) in the Prototype category. Mater Dei, which has competed ever since the challenge began in the Americas six years ago, also achieved the highest mileage, 611 mpg, in the UrbanConcept category with “George,” a vehicle modeled after George Jetson’s cartoon flying car.

“The 2012 competition once again illuminates how much farther we can go to make real headway in the energy challenge facing our planet,” says Shell Eco-marathon Global Manager Mark Singer. “What the talented teams competing this year showed us were the wide array of smart options available. We’re proud that Shell Eco-marathon is part of the greater fuel efficiency solution.” After a May competition in The Netherlands, Shell Eco-marathon moves to Kuala Lumpur from July 4-7. Thousands of students from more than 40 countries participate in the competition. For more information, visit www.shell.com/ecomarathon, or find it on Facebook at www.facebook.com/shell.

eXpLORING THe ‘sTRess NeXUs’As we approach a population of nine billion in 2050, what will the energy landscape look like? To encourage meaningful dialogue about this question and others, Shell and The New York Times recently hosted the 2012 Energy Summit, which was presented in tandem with the Shell Eco-marathon Americas 2012 in Houston. The two-day event, which brought together high-level influencers representing various perspectives and viewpoints, explored the “stress nexus” between food, water and energy as we approach 2050.

Shell U.S. President Marvin Odum provided Shell’s perspective on key

future energy issues and various business and technological developments the company is currently working on to address the effects of the stress nexus. Dick Williams, president of Shell WindEnergy, provided his unique viewpoint on the importance of not only continuing to invest in renewable energy sources, but for a company like Shell to maintain as broad a portfolio of energy solutions as possible. In addition to discussing future challenges, the Energy Summit tackled potential solutions to the stress nexus. The event featured an interactive

screening with Academy Award-nominated documentary filmmaker Lilibet Foster to explore what future energy solutions may look like and included insights about natural gas from Upstream Americas EVP Russ Ford. Stephen Dubner and Steven Levitt, authors of Freakonomics, delivered a dynamic keynote address on climate change and the art of prediction. And to close the Energy Summit, Shell Chief Financial Officer Simon Henry ended with a call for collaboration between the public and private spheres to turn energy challenges into opportunities.

A WORD FROM SHELL RETIREMENT FUNDSParticipant Fee DisclosureIn the March issue of AlumniNews magazine, we reported that all Shell Provident Fund (SPF) participants would receive the first annual “Participant Fee Disclosure” report in April. Just one week after the edition went to press, the Department of Labor (DOL) extended the distribution deadline to August 30, 2012. The new targeted distribution date for the SPF is now the end of July.

SPF participants who have authorized electronic delivery of notices AND have a current email address in NetBenefits will receive an email with an electronic link to the 50-page report. All other participants will receive the report via regular mail to the mailing address on file.

The report is a new requirement of the DOL, and the SPF report design is consistent with the format recommended by the DOL. The DOL requires all 401k plans to distribute this report annually to ensure that all plan participants are aware of the costs of investing in their 401k plan.

We would be interested in receiving your feedback on this report. Please send comments to ShellUSAlumni@Shell.com or by mail to:

Shell Retirement FundsP.O. Box 1438Houston TX 77251-1438

If you would like to receive this report, as well as other SPF communications electronically, log into NetBenefits, go into the “Your Profile” tab, add your email address and update your “Mail Preferences” for electronic delivery.

Minimum Required Distributions from your SPF accountEvery year the Shell Benefits Service Center receives questions regarding the concept and timing of Minimum Required Distributions (MRDs). Under IRS regulations, the Shell Provident Fund must distribute MRDs to eligible participants by a specified date. This is different than an IRA where the IRS MRD regulations place the responsibility on the IRA owner to withdraw the funds.

The MRD rules require participants to make a withdrawal annually starting with the year that they reach 70 ½ years of age or, if later, the year in which they retire. The MRD payment for the year participants turn 70 ½ can be delayed until April 1 of the following year. For all subsequent years, including the year in which the first MRD was paid by April 1, the participant must take the MRD by December 31 of that year.

If you are subject to the MRD rules, you must receive your MRD from the Shell Provident Fund before you can take elective distributions. Please refer to page 23 of the Summary Plan Description (green Dimensions “Wealth” booklet) for additional information on how MRDs are calculated and funded.

Participants can make arrangements to take their MRD from the Shell Provident Fund by calling the Shell Benefits Service Center. If you are subject to the MRD rules and have not made prior MRD distribution arrangements, your MRD payment will be automatically distributed from your Shell Provident Fund account in mid-December of each year (except for the MRD payment following 70 ½ as noted above, which will be paid the following March).

Happy birthday to the following centenarians.

HEALTH MATTERS7 steps to a better doctor visit

Picture yourself at your next doctor visit. You’re in the exam room—waiting for that light tap at the door before the nurse or doctor comes in. Stop there. So, how ready are you?

Maybe it seems like a silly question. But when you go to a visit unprepared, it can create missed opportunities—for you and your doctor. For one, you might not have a lot of time. And, it’s easy to forget what you wanted to ask—or to overlook something you should have shared.

Prepare wisely with the following seven steps—and be ready when the door opens.

Before your visit:1. Do your homework. Bring along information that is

helpful to your doctor including: n A list of the medicines you take. Note prescriptions

and over-the-counter drugs and include vitamins and herbal supplements too.

n Any updates to your personal or family health history. Do certain conditions run in your family, such as diabetes, heart disease, cancer or depression? Has anything changed since your last visit?

2. Jot down questions and concerns. Try to put the most important ones first—to make sure you get to ask or share them. You might want to talk about:

n A new symptom you’re having: What causes it? Is there any pattern to it? How severe is it? What seems to help?

n How a medication or treatment plan is working. n Emotional matters or life changes, such as a job

stress or losing a loved one. n Your health goals—maybe you’d like to lose weight

or quit smoking, for example.3. Add a reminder. Make a note to ask your doctor

what health screenings and vaccines you need.

During your visit:4. Share openly. Be frank about your symptoms and

lifestyle—even if you’re embarrassed. To give you the best care possible, your doctor needs this information. Also, remember to tell your doctor about other health care providers you see.

5. Take notes. Ask your doctor to repeat or explain anything that isn’t clear to you. Make sure you know what you’re supposed to do, whether it’s taking a new medicine or watching for certain symptoms.

Before you leave:6. Find out about follow-up. Do you know what to

do if you have questions later? Or, maybe you’d like more time to talk now. Perhaps you can speak to a nurse or schedule a follow-up visit.

7. Ask for parting advice. Your doctor may be able to recommend resources or provide written materials that might help you with your health needs and goals.

8 everyday tips to get more whole grains

Here’s a kernel of truth: When it comes to nutrition, whole grains are golden. Whole grains contain the entire grain kernel—the bran, germ and endosperm. Refined grains, on the other hand, have been milled. This process strips away the bran and germ—and some of the key nutrients, including fiber.

That helps explain why people who choose whole grains can reap these benefits:n A lower risk of heart disease and diabetes; n Help with weight control—the fiber in whole grains can

help you feel full on fewer calories; andn Less frequent problems with constipation.

Your whole-grain campaignAccording to the latest dietary guidelines, at least half your daily grains should be whole grains. Here are some simple ways to meet that goal:1. Stock your pantry with items such as whole wheat

flour, oatmeal, whole grain cereal and brown rice.2. Shop smart. Items labeled as “multigrain,” “stone-

ground,” “cracked wheat” or “bran” may not contain whole grains. Choose products that list whole or whole grain first on the list of ingredients.

3. Pay attention to percents. Check on the Nutrition Facts label. Look for whole-grain food that contains 10 percent or more of the Daily Value of fiber.

4. Switch gradually. If you prefer the taste of refined grains, try mixing in the whole varieties as a first step. For example, combine brown rice with white—or mix whole-wheat pasta with your standard noodles. Keep in mind that cooking times may vary.

5. Start the day right. Get going on your daily grains goal by choosing oatmeal or another whole-grain cereal for breakfast.

6. Stir ‘em in. Add barley, wild rice or bulgur to soups, stews, salads and casseroles.

7. Order whole-heartedly. When dining out, choose whole-grain options. For toast, rolls and wraps, for example, ask for whole wheat. If it isn’t listed on the menu, ask about availability.

8. Have a snack attack. Nibble on air-popped popcorn. But, skip the butter and salt. Or, top a few whole-wheat crackers with a little peanut butter and apple slices.

WEDDING ANNIVERSARIES

SHELL DEER PARK REUNIONFor Vi Cooper (’06 Deer Park), who worked in Records Management her entire career, numbers always tell a story—even when it comes to Deer Park’s long-standing annual party for employees and alumni. “Ten years after the plant was built in 1929, they threw a party for employees who had been with the plant since its beginning. They called it the ‘10 and Over Party.’ ”

That name stuck and for 65 years, those who had worked at Deer Park for 10 years or more were invited to the annual party, held in October, attracting more than 700 employees and alumni to the Pasadena Convention Center. In 2004, in conjunction with the 75th anniversary of Deer Park, the party was opened up to all employees and alumni, regardless of the years worked at the facility. It was then renamed the Shell Deer Park Reunion.

“The party is a chance to celebrate all the employees and alumni who have made Deer Park a success over the years. It’s fun to get to know new employees, and for them to get a flavor for the facility’s family atmosphere over the years,” Cooper says.

Angelo Pulido (’08 Deer Park), current president of the DPMC Retirees Club, has always appreciated sitting and talking with Deer Park’s “old-timers.” “Since I was an employee, I would spend a few hours during the luncheon serving food and carrying trays for some of the older alumni on walkers and in wheelchairs. It’s the least I can do. I enjoy spending time with them.”

One of the highlights of last year’s event, held at Brady’s Landing and attended by 450 employees and alumni, was the “Bragging Board.” Members compared who was the

oldest, who had been retired the longest, who had worked the most years at Shell and who had traveled the farthest to be at the party. “We have alumni who have traveled as far as California and Canada,” Cooper offers. The party’s theme—NASCAR—was reflected in the festive table decorations, souvenir photos and the Bragging Board created in the shape of a race course.

The party was also an opportunity to get the word out about the DPMC Retirees Club, which meets the first Thursday of the month for lunch at the East Harris County Activity Center. “Last year, the Shell Deer Park Retirees Group signed up 37 members at the event,” Pulido relates.

But the most enjoyable part of the day comes down to visiting with old colleagues and friends. “For many of us, Deer Park was family. We knew each other’s spouses and kids. We’ve kept this annual tradition alive for 73 years, and we’re thankful for Deer Park’s support. It’s something we all cherish,” Cooper says.

IMpROVING eNVIRONMeNTAL peRFORMANceOil sands producers form groundbreaking alliance

In an effort to accelerate improvements in environmental performance in Canada’s oil sands, Shell Canada, along with other oil sands producers, have formed a groundbreaking alliance—Canada’s Oil Sands Innovation Alliance (COSIA).

The alliance is believed to be one of the largest-ever industry collaborations. Chief executive officers of 12 companies signed the founding charter this spring, committing to COSIA’s vision to “enable responsible and sustainable growth of Canada’s oil sands while delivering accelerated improvement in environmental performance through collaborative action and innovation.”

“The public’s expectation of environmental performance in the oil sands continues to evolve. We want to meet those expectations, and we’ll work collaboratively to do so, building on previous successes,” says John Abbott,

executive vice president, Heavy Oil. “COSIA is a significant step to enabling industry participants to improve environmental performance faster. Industry participation of this magnitude is unprecedented in my experience.”

Along with leading thinkers from industry, government, academia and the wider public, COSIA will address environmental performance in four key Environmental Priority Areas: tailings, water, land and greenhouse gases.

The creation of COSIA as an independent alliance builds on work done over the past several years by both oil sands industry members and research and development organizations. For example, the Oil Sands Tailings Consortium (OSTC) over the past year delivered technology that promises to dramatically cut the reclamation time for oil sands tailings. COSIA will take these efforts to a much larger scale

and will help the industry address environmental challenges by breaking down barriers in the areas of funding, intellectual property enforcement and human resources that may otherwise impede progress on environmental performance. This collaborative approach will accelerate the discovery and development of environmental technologies and reduce the time from idea to implementation.

“As one of the largest resources in the world, Canada’s oil sands will continue to play a key part of the future energy mix; however, to unlock this resource, it’s critical that it’s developed responsibly and with improved environmental performance,” Abbott says. “The formation of COSIA is a key step toward achieving this.”

FLYING DRONes AT cAROLINeWhen you think of a drone, images of unmanned military robots or even infiltrating aliens might come to mind. Not typically Shell operations.

That perception is changing, however, at Shell Canada’s Jumping Pound and Caroline gas plants, where unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are being used to increase safety performance. Small, remote-controlled UAVs, mounted with high-resolution cameras, are now being used to inspect Shell’s flare stacks. The system not only provides high-definition images of the stacks for inspection, but also significantly reduces the health, safety and environment (HSE) risk for individuals involved in inspection activities.

Typical flare stack inspections are carried out by a twin-engine helicopter containing a pilot, an

inspector and a photographer. The helicopter typically hovers close to the stack to allow for a clear view. While a common industry-wide procedure, it carries a safety risk. Neil Larsen, aviation contract manager, believed there was a better way and contacted SkyReel Productions, an Edmonton company that specializes in aerial photography and filming using UAVs.

“By removing passengers and a pilot from the helicopter itself, we have essentially removed any risk involved with the inspections,” says Nick Cheng, team leader and technical engineer for Shell’s Central Alberta operations.

The use of UAVs has been so effective that Shell Canada is now considering them for searches during emergency response. In early December 2011,

a UAV from Aeryon Labs (a Canadian company best known for providing the Libyan Rebels with reconnaissance UAVs), mounted with an infrared camera, successfully located a person during an emergency response drill at Burnt Timber.

Q&A wITH peTeR VOseRstaying the course through tough times

In a year of political and economic turbulence, Shell has stayed firmly on course. Chief Executive Officer Peter Voser looks back at the highs and lows of 2011, shares his vision for Shell in the coming years and gives his views on some of the energy-related challenges facing society.

what were your highlights of the past year?Starting up the world’s largest gas-to-liquids project, Pearl GTL, in Qatar is by far our biggest success story of 2011 and a great example of how we are on the right track to becoming the world’s most competitive and innovative energy company. Over 3,500 patents have gone into Pearl and it demonstrates innovation across more than 30 years, from a lab in Amsterdam to one of the world’s largest industrial developments.

Another highlight for me was securing the final investment decision to build the world’s first floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) facility, Prelude, off the coast of Australia. Shell is prepared to be bold, and FLNG is a good example of that approach, as is our work in biofuels. In April 2011, we moved for the first time into the production of low-carbon biofuels, with our joint venture Raízen in Brazil. The venture is performing well and we’re working to accelerate advanced biofuels for the future.

How is shell responding to political and economic challenges in many parts of the world?It’s a mixed picture. We still see some of the key economies, like China, growing, if slower than anticipated. But the U.S. and European economies are still major areas of concern and this will impact overall growth in 2012.

For a company like Shell, this means we need to be even more focused on our day-to-day business to make sure that our performance stays where it has been over the last two or three quarters: very competitive. We need to continue to see how we can deliver benefits through innovative solutions for our customers and we need to continue to focus on costs. We’ll continue to take a long-term view on investing. We will keep going because this guarantees us competitive performance in the years to come.

what is your strategy for forging new partnerships in china?There are two strategic elements in this: first, we see global partnerships as key to the development of our company. Second, China will be a key market over the decades to come. So Shell would like to have a firm footing there. Our partnership with China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) covers both those strategic aims. We work

with CNPC in countries like Qatar and Australia. And together we are developing our business in China, which is around shale and tight gas—including wells management—and many other initiatives.

How can shell build on its strengths to further improve in 2012?As a CEO, I have considerable contact with our stakeholders, customers and partners across the world, and they appreciate our innovative approach and the way we consider sustainable development in our activities. I think we have quite a way to go in removing complexity from the way we work and increasing the speed in our decision-making.

Speed and simplicity also reinforce our goal to be the most innovative energy company. This relies on leaders who create the climate in which innovation can thrive. And it starts with a deep understanding of our customers’ needs. We need to look every day at how to improve what we do, to give ourselves the competitive edge.

I also want staff to focus on delivering in line with the cost targets we have set and on opportunities that will further generate value. 2012 is a key year for us because we have to deliver on the targets we set for production and cash flow. Since the start of 2010, 16 final investment decisions were taken. So project delivery, on time and on budget, remains extremely important, even after all the great start-ups this year are completed.

The Bp Macondo oil spill had a major impact on the industry. can it be consigned to history? No, it will take a number of years before we can overcome the impact that event had on the industry. The industry as a Creative approaches have helped achieve safety records for Shell and Qatar at Pearl GTL.

whole will continue to be measured against this event, so top performance on safety is an absolute must. Over the last few years we have made big improvements in our safety performance. I’m pleased with how diligently the organization has worked on this.

At the same time, we had three serious incidents during 2011 [Gannet North Sea oil leak, Bukom refinery fire in Singapore and the Bonga leak offshore Nigeria]. I’m pleased with how our teams responded and quickly regained control of these situations. Investigations are ongoing around the causes and we will certainly implement into our processes all of the lessons we draw from these incidents. But they highlight the fact that we need to maintain a world-class level of safety in our operations.

How can shell develop the Arctic without a major environmental impact?Of course developing the Arctic has environmental challenges, but I believe these challenges can be managed with the right approach to safety and to sustainability. With energy demand rising, all resources must be developed to help meet it, including the Arctic.

We are in the application process for drilling in 2012 and 2013. So far we have received the necessary permits but we are still going through a lengthy process—which includes discussions on environmental protection—before we start to drill. For us, the focus is in Alaska and to some extent in Greenland, although in the coming years there may also be opportunities in Russia.

Has climate change taken a back seat? Climate change has to be at the top of the agenda of any energy company. The challenge we have as an industry is to produce much more energy at lower cost for the environment. Shell has two objectives: one is to help provide energy over the coming years to allow the world continued growth, largely through fossil fuels, and at the same time, work on lowering the CO2 footprint of the future energy mix.

In the longer term, we believe a global CO2 price will happen. We currently measure all our projects with a CO2

price of $40 a ton. A global price allows us to invest in the right technologies in the future. We also recognize that the triangle of energy, food and water will be crucial in the decades to come. A growing population and improved living standards will demand more food and more energy, both of which will require more water. So the stresses will increase if we don’t manage that collectively. At Shell, we have already looked at the different energy resources we have and worked out the water consumption for each. This will be invaluable when we start a wider discussion with all other industry players and with governments.

why is shell developing the oil sands?Global energy demand continues to grow and oil sands will play a role in the future energy mix. We have proven over the last few decades that we can improve the reliability of the development of the oil sands operations and we are taking action around the performance of our operations when it

comes to water use and CO2 emissions. For example, we are close to taking a final investment decision on a carbon capture and storage project called Quest, which would store more than a million tons of CO2 every year. That is the same as taking 175,000 North American cars off the road.

In 2012, shell will for the first time produce more natural gas than oil. Is shell leaving oil behind? Shell’s portfolio will have a higher proportion of gas at the end of this decade, but we also have some significant developments on the oil side as well.

A lot will depend on the second half of the decade. Will we be able to drill in the Arctic and will we be successful? How fast will Iraq develop? Future investment decisions will also have a major impact on the mix. We want to maintain our leadership in the world gas market, in particular liquefied natural gas (LNG).

Tight gas is also a significant part of our business. We see very strong developments in shale gas and tight gas in North America, China, Australia and, most recently, we signed a deal in Ukraine. We are also looking for other opportunities in Europe, but the development of shale gas in Europe will face some difficulties due to regulations and legislation, high population density and challenges with permits.

cLeANING AND pROTecTING eNGINesshell Nitrogen enriched Gasolines launched in U.s., canada

With advanced engine technologies coming to the market and U.S. consumers holding on to their existing vehicles longer, Shell made a good product better for customers when it launched a new, improved generation of the top-selling Shell Nitrogen Enriched Gasolines.

The improved products are designed to even better address an increasing need for engine protection. Carbon deposits build up on critical engine parts and are the result of various chemical processes that take place in the engine during its normal operation. These processes can create a residue or “gunk” which acts like a sponge, absorbing and trapping gasoline that builds up on intake valves and fuel injectors, making engines less efficient over time.

The new formulation from Shell delivers 20 percent more active cleaning agents than before, and is designed to better protect the engine’s intake valves and fuel injectors from performance-robbing gunk.

“Whether it’s a new car with an advanced engine technology or an older one that is needed for continued use over the long haul, today’s drivers need protection from engine gunk,” says Dan Little, North America Fuels marketing manager, Shell Oil Products U.S.

“Knowing this, Shell set out with our research teams and with input from leading automakers and other stakeholders, designed a formulation to meet the needs of today’s consumer and protect critical engine parts better than ever, no matter what they drive. No other gasoline protects better than the new Shell Nitrogen Enriched Gasolines,” he says.

New patented cleaning agent Newer engine technologies are on the rise, and these types of engines are both more sensitive to and more prone to the build-up of gunk. Fuel injectors in advanced engines are subject to great heat and pressure, which can cause a breakdown of cleaning agents, rendering some lower quality, “clean”

gasolines ineffective. The new Nitrogen Enriched Cleaning System is designed to maintain thermal stability and work under extremely hot engine tempera-tures, actively protecting against gunk.

The new Shell Nitrogen Enriched Gasolines underwent 350,000 miles of testing in various conventional, modern turbo-charged, direct-fuel-injected, and hybrid vehicles. All three grades of the new fuels clean up and prevent build-up of gunk on intake valves and fuel injectors so well that it’s almost as if there were no deposits at all.

And for those drivers who expect the most from their vehicle’s performance, especially those with vehicles whose manufacturers recommend or require a premium gasoline, the new Shell V-Power Premium Gasoline formulation boasts the highest concentration of the new cleaning system, and is designed to clean an engine’s intake valves from performance-robbing gunk even faster than regular Shell gasolines.

MALcOLM BRINDeD sTeps DOwNMalcolm Brinded recently stepped down from his role as Executive Director of Upstream International. Brinded first joined Shell in October 1974 and has served the company in Brunei, The Netherlands, Oman and the United Kingdom. In 1998, he became Managing Director of Shell UK Exploration and Production, and from 1999 until 2002, he was Shell Country Chairman in the UK. Brinded has been a member of the Royal Dutch Shell plc Board (and its predecessors) since 2002. Prior to his current role, he was Executive Director in charge of Exploration & Production.

“Malcolm has had a distinguished career over many years and has made an important contribution to Shell’s success during that time. He leaves the Upstream International business in a strong position, well-placed to deliver on its targets and pursue the next stage of Shell’s growth,” says CEO Peter Voser.

In his role as Executive Director of Upstream International, Brinded was succeeded by Andy Brown, previously Executive Vice President, Qatar.

sARNIA sTReeT MAcHINe’s cLUBcruising, Raising Money for charityBob McMillan (’95 Sarnia Manufacturing Center) has loved cars all his life. “When I was 14, my dad gave me an old ’49 Ford. I used to drive it around the back roads of my rural neighborhood without a driver’s license. That first experience gave me the bug.” Today, McMillan has driven his modified 1928 Ford from his home in Sarnia, Ontario, down along the East Coast of the U.S. and Canada—a 3,100-mile, three-and-a-half-week trip that he took with his friends from Sarnia’s Street Machines (SSM) Club. “We all share a love of cars and are devoted to cruising and raising money for our community partner, Pathways,” says McMillan, who has been a member since 1989 and serves as SSM president.

The club’s 60 members restore cars and host events throughout the year, including an annual car show along the waterfront. Donations gathered during the show benefit Pathways Health Centre for Children, a family-centered community agency serving children and young adults with physical, developmental and communications needs. “Each car show attracts up to 600 cars and brings in about $16,000 in donations. Since 2005, we’ve raised over $100,000 for Pathways, and with

additional funds from Shell Canada, we’ve helped fund an audio lab for children and adults with speech issues,” McMillan says.

Always there to lend a handSoon after joining the club in 1995, Rick Jennings (’10 Sarnia Manu-facturing Center) bought a ’73 MGB and a ’37 Ford sedan. “There are very gifted and skilled members in the club; the rest of us are like apprentices. We’re just learning.” Jennings had the opportunity to learn a great deal about restoration as members helped him gut and rewire the Ford sedan, outfitting it with the power and conveniences of a modern Ford. “While I was working on the car, someone always would show up to lend a hand. We work together, and we travel together. There’s a great deal of camaraderie with this group,” says Jennings, who is the director of membership.

That spirit of support extends to the entire town of Sarnia. When the Sarnia Manufacturing Center sought to reduce their assets in 2001, Shell Canada donated a 1958 vintage fire truck from SSM to the club. “We had the whole club working on the truck for about a year, and business after business stepped forward to fund the

restoration,” McMillan says, noting that in total the truck had 12 area sponsors. “We didn’t pay a dime for the restoration. Everything from the paint to the tires to the wooden seats on the back of the truck was paid for by local businesses.”

The SSM drives the fire truck in area events, including the Labor Day and Christmas parades. “Through the Shell Community Service Fund, Shell Canada bought the Honda generator needed to run the Christmas lights and sound system for the float parade,” he adds.

McMillan says that the massive support from the community reflects the town’s love for Pathways. “Everyone has a connection to Pathways, whether it’s a nephew, cousin or sister’s son. There is such an outpouring of support, and the feel-good factor is over the top.”

“The club is very important to me. I find it rewarding just knowing these very giving people,” Jennings adds.

“In the Street Machines Club, we get to play with our toys and do some pretty great stuff for the community. To see the sparkle in the children’s eyes at Pathways is all I need to keep moving,” McMillan concludes.

Let’s Light up our cities with a cLeaner source of eLectricity.

We all need electricity to power our lives. Shell is helping to deliver natural gas to more countries than any other energy company. When used to generate electricity, it emits around half the CO2 of coal. It’s one of the most abundant sources of energy available today and, with our continued innovation, it could provide us with cleaner energy for the next 250 years. Let’s power our future with gas. www.shell.us/naturalgas
