  • Senate Inquiry Into Corporate Tax Avoidance and Minimisation
    Shell Australia Pty Ltd Committee Chair ABN 14 009 663 576 Senate Economics References Committee 2 Victoria Avenue PO Box 6100 Perth WA 6000 Parliament House Australia CANBERRA ACT 2600 Tel +61 8 9338 6000 Internet www.shell.com.au Correspondence 29 July 2015 PO BOX A47 CDC Perth WA 6837 Senate Inquiry into corporate tax avoidance and minimisation Shell Australia1 welcomes the opportunity to make this submission in response to your letter of 14th July 2015. 1. Background – About Shell Shell2 is a global group of energy and petrochemical companies, with its headquarters in The Hague, the Netherlands. Shell operates in over 70 countries around the world and employs around 94,000 people. In April 2015, the Boards of Royal Dutch Shell plc and BG Group plc agreed the terms of a proposed merger. The parties are targeting completion of the transaction in early 2016 and are currently seeking regulatory approvals in a number of jurisdictions. Subject to obtaining these approvals, the companies’ shareholders will then be asked to support the proposal. Shell in Australia Shell has been in Australia since 1901 and the Australian business forms an important part of Shell’s global natural gas business. Historically, our significant investments in Australia spanned across both the downstream and upstream sectors. In 2014 Shell sold its downstream refining, marketing and retail distribution operations to Vitol, and our business is now largely focused within the upstream sector – although Shell continues to supply aviation fuels and lubricants. 1 “Shell Australia” refers to Shell Australia Pty Ltd or any of the members of the Australian tax consolidated group of which Shell Energy Holdings Australia Ltd (SEHAL) is the head company.

  • Class Keeps Pace with FLNG Development
    AS SEEN IN APRIL 2014 Shell’s Prelude development opens FLNG floodgate Scott Weeden , Senior Editor, Drilling COPYRIGHT © HART ENERGY | 1616 S. VOSS, STE. 1000, HOUSTON, TX 77057 USA | +1 713 260 6400 | FAX +1 713 840 8585 COVER STORY: FLNG With an eye on moving liquefaction plants offshore to reduce costs, operators in Australia, Colombia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Equatorial Guinea, Israel, and the US Gulf Coast are studying FLNG projects. hen the final investment decision (FID) was signed for the WPrelude floating LNG (FLNG) facility offshore Australia, FLNG technology quickly became the leading option for developing offshore gas fields or stranded gas fields onshore. The Caribbean LNG project being developed by Exmar and Pacific Rubiales Energy is a barge-mounted FLNG plant that will be docked in Colombia to liquefy gas from onshore fields. Then Petronas began construction on its PFLNG 1 project in June 2013 and made its FID on the PFLNG 2 project in February 2014. Both units are for offshore fields. FLNG provides advantages for stranded gas reserves. For example, the Bonaparte LNG project offshore Australia will include the Petrel and Tern fields that were discovered more than 40 years ago and were considered too remote and relatively small to develop. Once those reserves are depleted, the FLNG vessel can be moved to another field to continue operations. The Prelude development opened the floodgates for FLNG projects offshore Australia. Although Shell’s facility is under construction and the Scarborough LNG and Bonaparte LNG projects have been approved, Western Australia’s government wants to put the brakes on further FLNG projects, citing fewer jobs and less opportunity for domestic engineering and fabrication companies.

With its plentiful gas reserves, prior track record of LNG project execution and operation and relative proximity to the fast growing Asian LNG markets the degree of comparative advantage would seem to guarantee a benign investment environment.

  • Petrochina Shows Faith in LNG
    PetroChina shows faith in LNG http://www.afr.com/p/business/companies/petrochina_shows_faith_in_... PetroChina shows faith in LNG PUBLISHED: 13 Dec 2012 PRINT EDITION: 13 Dec 2012 PetroChina is fast becoming one of the biggest foreign backers of the Australian LNG sector. Photo: James Davies Angela Macdonald-Smith PetroChina’s second major equity investment in Australia is being regarded not only as an endorsement of the Woodside-led Browse project, but also a vote of confidence in the future of the Australian LNG sector. The state-owned oil giant’s $US1.63 billion entry into Browse LNG adds to its 50 per cent stake in the Arrow Energy coal seam gas-based venture with Royal Dutch Shell, which arose after the partners combined for a $3.5 billion cash takeover of the Queensland CSG explorer. Together with its huge position as a customer for Australian LNG, PetroChina is fast becoming one of the biggest foreign backers of the Australian LNG sector despite forecasts of plentiful shale gas arriving in Asia and China’s aim to develop its own unconventional gas resources. It is the biggest customer for the Chevron-led $US52 billion Gorgon venture and the investment is being hailed as an indication of Australia’s important role in feeding the growing energy needs of Asia. The Chinese oil major has forecast it will spend $US60 billion on global oil and gas investments as it seeks to increase overseas production to half its total output by 2020. It has singled out Australia as a target for investments, alongside central Asia, eastern Africa and Canada.

    Woodside Petroleum’s gas refinery Australia Sectors: Oil and Gas Extraction On record This profile is no longer actively maintained, with the information now possibly out of date Send feedback on this profile By: BankTrack Created before Nov 2016 Last update: Nov 1 2015 Contact: Heidi Nore, Campaigner The Wilderness Society Project website Sectors Oil and Gas Extraction Location This project has been identified as an Equator Project About Woodside Petroleum’s gas refinery The Browse Basin gas field off Western Australia's (WA's) north coast is estimated to contain 35 trillion cubic feet of gas. Woodside Petroleum Ltd and its joint venture partners - Shell, Chevron, BP and BHP Billiton - want to process the gas to LNG for export to Asia. The proposed gas processing site for the Browse LNG Joint Venture is James Price Point, 50km north of Broome on the Kimberley coast, Western Australia. The project is estimated to cost $30-40 billion. The Kimberley is recognised as one of the world's great unspoiled marine and terrestrial environments - a unique and highly valued region with outstanding biological diversity, cultural richness and scenic grandeur. The proposed gas refinery site is in the middle of the world's largest Humpback whale nursery. The gas refinery and industrial port is opposed by environment groups, Traditional Owners, tourism operators and local communities due to its massive social and environmental impacts. Latest developments Latest update Apr 13 2013 Latest update Dec 6 2010 What must happen Any banks approached to assist with financing the Browse LNG Joint Venture should refuse to support this highly risky, socially divisive and environmentally disastrous project.

  • James Price Point Science Assessment Report
    James Price Point Science Assessment Report Updated Supplementary submission on the WA government’s Browse LNG Strategic Assessment for a proposed gas processing hub at James Price Point, Kimberley WA The Wilderness Society & Environs Kimberley & Conservation Council of WA May 2012 Submission to the WA EPA and Commonwealth Department of Environment (SEWPaC) Printed on Evolve 100% post-consumer recycled paper Supplementary submission – Browse LNG Strategic Assessment Introduction This supplementary submission, presented almost one year after our original joint-ENGO submission on the Browse LNG (BLNG) gas hub ‘strategic assessment report’, highlights significant new and ongoing concerns over the adequacy and reliability of the process. The proponent, the WA Department of State Development (DSD), has manifestly failed to provide the Environment Protection Authority (EPA), the Department of Environment, Water, Populations and Communities (DSEWPaC), and respective State and Commonwealth Ministers, with a sound basis for decisions on development options for the Browse gas field. What started out as a strategic assessment process intended to optimise environmental, social and economic outcomes from development of the Browse gas field has turned into a process to defend a political decision to locate a massive, but inadequately defined, LNG hub at James Price Point (JPP) on the pristine Kimberley coast. The Strategic Assessment Report (SAR) produced by the proponent is incomplete, inaccurate and fails to adequately address key environmental, social and economic issues, including cumulative impacts. Instead, it presents grossly inadequate studies and unsubstantiated conclusions as the basis for project approval. Having pre-empted the assessment of other options – options preferred by several of the Browse LNG joint venture partners (JVPs), the proponent does not adequately describe the proposal at James Price Point.
