THE WALL STREET JOURNAL: SEC Has More Questions After 1st Inquiry On Oil Reserves: “The Securities and Exchange Commission is seeking additional information from some companies about oil reserves following last year’s initial round of inquiries in the wake of the Royal Dutch/Shell scandal”: “Shell stunned capital markets in January 2004 when it announced it was slashing its reserves by 23% due to huge overbookings in Nigeria, Australia and elsewhere. A subsequent investigation showed executive correspondence about the need to “fool” the market and complaints of “lying about the extent of our reserves issue.”: “The current debate on oil reserves policy focuses in part on the oil industry’s confusion on whether certain assets qualify as reserves. Shell’s problems, Degenhardt said, did not fall into that category because documents showed that executives knew they were breaking the rules. “They knew they were violating the commission’s guidelines,” Degenhardt said. “That was not a case of them not knowing what the guidelines are.” (ShellNews.net) Posted 26 Feb 05 read more
