Beyond the Shareholder Verdict: Four AI Systems Examine Who Gains, Who Loses — and Why the Independent Shell Archive Matters
By John Donovan
The original question was deliberately simple:
Are Shell plc shareholders better off with or without royaldutchshellplc.com?
Claude, Grok, Gemini and use.ai all ultimately reached the same broad conclusion: shareholders are better off with the independent archive than without it.
But the exercise did not end there.
The four AI systems were subsequently asked to look much deeper: at trust in Shell management and corporate PR, at evidential reliability, and finally at the interests of other stakeholders including employees, directors, regulators, trade unions, journalists and the general public. read more

The Sakhalin Papers XLVI: One in Five Bore the Scars — When Fishing Nets Became the Next Major Threat
The western gray whales feeding off Sakhalin were recovering. Their IUCN status would soon improve. But another danger was becoming impossible to ignore. In 2013, Sakhalin Energy personnel photographed mothers and calves within 100 metres of newly deployed salmon nets near Piltun Lagoon. By 2018, peer-reviewed research found evidence of fishing-gear injury on 28 of 150 photographed whales — 18.7 per cent. The same research classified coastal salmon set nets near Piltun as presenting a “very high” entanglement risk. The documentary record also contains an important complication: this was not an impact caused by Shell’s oil and gas operations. Sakhalin Energy helped identify and report the threat.
1. The recovery did not remove the danger
The previous instalment ended with an apparently contradictory picture.
The whales feeding off north-eastern Sakhalin were increasing in number. By 2018 the IUCN would move the western subpopulation from Critically Endangered to Endangered.
Yet recovery did not mean security.
A small population recovering from historical commercial whaling remained vulnerable to relatively few avoidable deaths — particularly deaths of reproductive females and calves.
And one of the next dangers to emerge was not an oil platform, seismic airgun or tanker. read more

The Sakhalin Papers XLV: From Critically Endangered to Endangered — What the Whale Recovery Did, and Did Not, Prove
By 2016, Shell could point to a genuinely encouraging development off Sakhalin: the western gray whales feeding near its giant oil and gas project were increasing in number. Shell’s own Sustainability Report recorded an estimated rise from 115 animals in 2004 to 174 in 2015. Independent conservation organisations reported the same trend. Two years later, the IUCN changed the western gray whale’s status from Critically Endangered to Endangered.
That was real progress. But the documentary record does not establish that Shell caused the recovery, that industrial disturbance had ceased to matter, or that the whales were safe. In fact, the independent scientific record becomes more complicated precisely at the point where the headline numbers begin to look most reassuring. read more

Shell and Equinor’s Jackdaw gas project was widely expected to receive a decision this month. Instead, that decision now appears likely to slip until after the politically sensitive Holborn and St Pancras by-election on 8 October. The government insists it has never publicly committed to a timetable. The result is another delay for a North Sea project already shaped by court rulings, downstream-emissions assessments and climate politics.
Shell’s Jackdaw project has encountered another obstacle. read more

After years of strategic pivots, greenwashing controversies, corporate name changes and arguments over what Shell actually wants to be, American motorists have delivered a remarkably simple verdict: when it comes to filling the tank, Shell remains the brand they are most likely to consider — and the one they associate most strongly with quality.
Every now and then Shell plc receives some genuinely good news that does not require a 50-page sustainability report to explain it.
This appears to be one of those occasions. read more

Shell is selling a 609 MW Rhode Island gas-fired power station only 20 months after buying it — while simultaneously acquiring another gas plant in Pennsylvania. Follow the assets rather than the slogans and Shell’s evolving power strategy becomes remarkably clear.
Shell plc has provided another useful demonstration of what “active portfolio management” means under chief executive Wael Sawan.
On 10 September 2026, Shell Energy North America announced two transactions at the same time.
It will sell its interest in RISEC Holdings, owner of a 609-megawatt combined-cycle gas-fired power plant in Rhode Island, to Constellation Energy Generation for $715 million. read more

Peter Costello sells roughly £1.17 million of Shell shares as the company doubles down on oil, gas and LNG — and shareholders reward the strategy
There is nothing inherently improper about a senior executive selling shares in his employer.
Let us establish that before anyone reaches for the corporate lawyers.
But timing, context and scale can still make an entirely legitimate transaction interesting.
And Shell has just supplied a rather good example.
The Financial Times reports that Peter Costello, Shell plc’s President of Upstream, has taken advantage of the company’s improved valuation by selling shares worth roughly £1.17 million. Shell’s own regulatory disclosure provides the precise transactions: on 28 August 2026, Costello disposed of 31,786 Shell shares in London at £33.41 each, receiving £1,061,970.26, and another 3,214 shares in Amsterdam at €39.115, worth €125,715.61.

The Sakhalin Papers XLIV: The Whales Moved — What the 2015 Data Eventually Revealed
The airguns stopped in 2015. The scientific argument did not. Seven years later, a series of peer-reviewed studies finally put numbers on what happened to western gray whales during the unprecedented seismic season off Sakhalin. The results resist both convenient extremes. The whales did respond: their local density fell as accumulated seismic and vessel noise increased, and individual animals changed movement and breathing behaviour. The researchers concluded explicitly that mitigation had not eliminated short-term behavioural responses. Yet models examining reproduction predicted little or no effect from the 2015 disturbance scenario, 14 calves were identified the following year, and the wider population continued its long-term recovery. The evidence therefore supports neither “no impact” nor “population damage proved.” It supports something scientifically more difficult: measurable disturbance, mitigation that reduced but did not eliminate response, and unresolved population-level consequences.

A long-running English legal battle over oil pollution in Nigeria has entered a potentially explosive new phase.
On 10 September 2026, the High Court handed down judgment in Alame & Ors v Shell Plc & Anor [2026] EWHC 2332 (KB). Mrs Justice Lambert ruled that allegations that Shell and its former Nigerian subsidiary knowingly relied on false or misleading factual assertions during earlier jurisdiction proceedings should be dealt with as part of the litigation now moving towards trial.

Two experienced Shell workers aboard the Prelude floating LNG facility have lost their bid for reduced working arrangements as they moved towards semi-retirement.
At first glance, the latest OnNotice report sounds straightforward: two workers aged over 55 asked for flexible working arrangements, Shell refused, and the Fair Work Commission backed the company.
The actual decision is more complicated.
The Commission did not determine that Shell’s operational objections were necessarily reasonable, nor did it establish that reduced-hours working at Prelude is inherently unworkable. Instead, Commissioner Hunt found that the two workers had failed at an earlier jurisdictional hurdle: their requests had not been validly made under section 65 of Australia’s Fair Work Act 2009 because the required connection between being aged 55 or over and the requested changes had not been established.

Valuable Watchdog or Costly Nuisance? A Forensic Investor Assessment of the Independent ‘Royal Dutch Shell’ Archive
An AI assessment of whether RoyalDutchShellPlc.com helps or harms Shell plc shareholders
The following assessment was generated in response to a question put to Google Gemini about whether the continued existence of the independent website RoyalDutchShellPlc.com is, on balance, beneficial or detrimental to Shell plc shareholders.
The question requires an important distinction.
What causes discomfort or embarrassment to corporate management does not necessarily damage shareholder value.
Conversely, an independent website that persistently publishes highly indexed criticism can potentially create reputational friction. read more

The Sakhalin Papers XLIII: Twenty-One Days of Airguns — What Actually Happened During the 2015 Piltun-Astokh Survey
The argument over whether the 2015 seismic programme should take place ended when Exxon completed its Odoptu survey on 7 July. The following day Sakhalin Energy began firing. Twenty-one days later its Piltun-Astokh programme was complete. The company acquired all 36 planned lines, recorded more than 80,000 shot points and shut the source down five times for marine mammals. But almost half of the environmentally sensitive A-lines were acquired at night, acoustic equipment failed, the full complement of real-time monitoring buoys was not available, and much of the crucial pre-survey behavioural-monitoring period was consumed by training and troubleshooting. WGWAP ultimately concluded that the mitigation component had been implemented satisfactorily. It did not say the monitoring programme was flawless — or that the whales were unaffected.

Four AI systems were asked the same uncomfortable question:
How much trust should an ordinary Shell plc shareholder place in Shell management, Shell PR and independent external scrutiny?
The answers differed in degree, but not in direction.
Across Google AI Mode, Grok, Claude and use.ai, a clear hierarchy emerged:
- Independent scrutiny ranked highest
- Shell management ranked in the middle
- Shell PR ranked lowest
The overall message was not that shareholders should automatically distrust Shell or automatically trust critics.
It was more disciplined than that:
Trust evidence first. Treat management as informed but interested. Treat PR as advocacy. Use independent scrutiny as a necessary counterweight. read more

I recently put the same deliberately balanced question to several AI systems:
Would ordinary Shell plc shareholders be better off if the independently owned royaldutchshellplc.com continued to exist indefinitely — or if it disappeared?
The question was designed to prevent an easy answer.
The AIs were specifically instructed to consider both sides: the archive’s potential value as an independent source of information, institutional memory and corporate accountability, but also its potential to damage Shell through adverse search results, historical controversies, reputational friction and possible confusion arising from a domain incorporating Shell’s former corporate name. read more
