Please, everybody, take the time to report this company to the communications ombudsman(I am) They are an utter shambles. I’ve tried contacting them for over 3 weeks now without success. I’m not bothering with them anymore. Leave and go somewhere else. Any other provider has to be better than this shower.

Shell to review £25bn investment in UK projects after windfall tax extended
The oil giant’s UK chairman tells Sky News the company knows it has to play its part but it wants to know when the levy will be withdrawn.

Shell will review £25bn of investments in British projects after the chancellor extended the windfall tax on energy companies, its UK chairman has told Sky News.
David Bunch said the oil giant would re-examine each of its projects on a “case-by-case basis” after Jeremy Hunt increased the levy on “excess” oil and gas profits from 25% to 35% in last week’s autumn statement.

Shell is reviewing plans to invest £25bn in Britain’s energy system after Jeremy Hunt raided the industry for £55bn in windfall taxes.

After years of construction, Shell ethane cracker starts up
MONACA, Pa. (AP) — Years in the works, a massive petrochemical refinery in western Pennsylvania fed by the vast natural gas reservoir underneath Appalachia became fully operational Tuesday, oil and gas giant Shell plc said.
The refinery, built on the site of a former zinc smelter along the Ohio River some 30 miles (48 kilometers) northwest of Pittsburgh, will produce 3.5 billion pounds (1.6 billion kilograms) of polyethylene annually when it ramps up to full production by the second half of 2023, Shell said.

Lost my phone line last Saturday, broadband had also been very unstable prior to that. Called up and wa given option of callback. They returned the call a couple of hours later but hung up as soon as I answered. Sent them an email, and have been emailing every day since with zero response.

Don’t use their broadband service
Don’t use their broadband service, drops out on a regular basis and the customer service is shocking. Often have to wait in excess of 50 minutes to speak to anyone!
Date of experience: 10 November 2022
Absolutely horrendous service. Without Broad band for 6 weks refunded for 2 and then charged for 8. Customer service personel do not have a clue and are rude and patronising. Still no resolution 3 months on so I have left.

Oil And Gas Giant Shell Signs Two-Year Sponsorship With Bitcoin Magazine
Shell (NYSE: SHEL), one of the world’s largest oil and gas companies, has signed a two-year partnership with Bitcoin Magazine to sponsor the 2023 and 2024 Bitcoin Conferences.
Representatives from Shell will speak on the mining stage about improving the energy costs of bitcoin mining using the company’s own lubricant and cooling solutions.
Shell announced last August that it would be expanding into immersion cooling solutions to fuel its data centers. In the release, Shell explained that data centers, such as those used to mine bitcoin, account for 1% of global energy consumption, of which one-third of that comes from cooling solutions.

Where to start, after having no internet for a week I eventually managed to speak to Shell Energy broadband. On hold for over 40 minutes until I spoke to someone. They advised they would send an engineer out and I would get a text and I had to make sure someone was in between those times or I would be changed £65. My partner has took a day unpaid from work to sit in for an 8-1 appointment only for nobody to turn up, no text to say why, no call. Another 40 minute phonecall later and we have been told their “latest update” is that it could be anytime today or tomorrow. We werent told this until we rang. The customer service is shocking, the service is even worse and I will be leaving as soon as my contract is up. AVOID SHELL ENERGY BROADBAND AT ALL COSTS.

Widows of executed Nigerian activists end case against Shell
The four widows, Esther Kiobel, Victoria Bera, Blessing Eawo and Charity Levula, launched the case in 2017. It was rejected in a final ruling by The Hague District Court in March, following an interim decision in 2019 dismissing parts of their claim.
Their husbands were among nine activists from the Ogoni tribe, led by writer Ken Saro-Wiwa, who were hanged in 1995 for the murder of four political rivals. Supporters say they were really targeted because of their involvement in protests against environmental damage by Shell’s Nigerian subsidiary.
Shell CEO Confident on Long-Term LNG Demand
Shell’s LNG trading and optimization was “impacted by a combination of seasonality and supply constraints, where the business is geared towards supplying the northern hemisphere during the winter,” the company revealed in its third-quarter results.
Van Beurden continues to see LNG as a long-term growth segment with typical growth of 4% per annum and thinks the figure could be higher given higher energy consumption in Europe. In parallel with higher energy demand, the company has boosted its positioning in LNG in projects in Qatar from the North Field South and North Field East developments to Mexico, the executive said.

Shell’s Flagship LNG Trading Division Made Big Loss In Q3
Shell Plc’s (NYSE: SHEL) flagship LNG trading division reported a loss of nearly $1B, sources have revealed to Reuters. The loss is attributed to serious whiplash after the company’s LNG traders were caught flat-footed by the surge in natural gas prices following Russia’s gas supply cuts to Europe. The latest revelation is, however, hardly surprising given that Shell has issued a weak update issued earlier in October.

No response after a super human effort to reach Shell Energy broadband
I have tried more times than I can remember to reach Shell Energy Broadband. I cannot reach anyone and have emailed, completed forms and phoned many times but remains unanswered. @Currys – you should not be recommending broadband providers whose service is this poor. Please help!
Poor quality connection, low range router and speed… have no customer advisors available – poor quality products and awful service.

STAY AWAY! They promised service, in the end Openreach attended and said they could not offer even basic DSL never mind fibre – but of course by then old service was turned off – so now I am without and have been for weeks – and they take days to reply

Pressure mounting on $318b energy giant that says it cares about climate
All around the world, the pressure on $318 billion oil and gas giant Shell is mounting. In the Netherlands, the company was forced to remove ads promoting “carbon-neutral” petrol after they were found to be misleading by the Netherlands’ Advertising Code Committee. In the US, a House of Representatives committee heard Shell had touted its climate goals and vision but internal emails painted a different picture.
