Th is Project involves the extraction, liquefaction and sale of natural gas and condensate from the Prelude fi eld located off the north west coast of Australia, some 475 km north-north east of Broome. As Operator and 100% equity holder of the WA-371-P exploration permit, Shell intends to develop the fi eld in a timely, economic and environmentally sustainable manner. Th e Prelude FLNG Project will be the fi rst application of Shell’s innovative FLNG technology as a means to develop a relatively small and remote gas fi eld which would otherwise be uneconomic to develop. By locating the processing and liquefaction facilities directly over the gas fi eld, there is no need for an off shore platform, a pipeline to shore, jetty and dredging for shipping or onshore construction. Th is not only reduces cost, but also reduces the environmental footprint of the project. Th is Project is an example of how Shell is responding globally to what we call the “3 Hard Truths”. 1. Increasing energy demand – the world continues to need more energy due to population growth and increasing standard of living in developing countries. LNG from Prelude will be exported to Asia providing cleaner energy to some of the highest growth rate countries in energy demand. 2. No easy oil – oil and gas is a fi nite resource and becoming increasingly diffi cult to fi nd and develop, with new discoveries in deeper waters further off shore and often as smaller, separate fi nds. For Prelude, the FLNG solution enables access to an otherwise stranded gas resource. 3. Carbon constrained world – fi nding, developing and supplying energy needs to be done at a low carbon intensity to avoid worsening the impacts of climate change on our planet. LNG is an energy source that emits far less CO2 for power generation than coal or fuel oil over the extraction to combustion lifespan. Th e Prelude FLNG Project is a very exciting project for Shell in Australia: • It is fast! Th e Prelude gas discovery was made in January 2007 and the project is expected to begin production in 2016, making it a fasttrack LNG development; • It will be Shell’s fi rst application of FLNG technology, a solution which has the potential to unlock much of Australia’s, and the world’s, stranded gas assets; • It has a low environmental footprint which is restricted to its location 200 km off shore, away from sensitive environmental receptors such as turtles, whales and the Kimberley coastline; and • It will deliver economic benefi ts to the region and Australia through 25 years of operation, producing a valuable export commodity and employing Australians to operate and maintain the FLNG facility. I encourage you to review this draft EIS and provide feedback on Shell’s proposed Prelude FLNG Project. We look forward to hearing from you.

  • Inquiry Into the Price of Unleaded Petrol
    SHELL AUSTRALIA’S SUBMISSION TO THE AUSTRALIAN COMPETITION AND CONSUMER (ACCC) INQUIRY INTO THE PRICE OF UNLEADED PETROL CONTENTS Introduction ............................................................................................................................2 Refining and importing..........................................................................................................2 Wholesale and distribution....................................................................................................4 Retail........................................................................................................................................6 Shell submission to ACCC Petrol Price Inquiry, July 2007 Page 1 Introduction This submission addresses issues relevant to Shell under the broad subjects, “Refining and importing”, “Wholesale and distribution” and “Retail”, which are set out in the Issues Paper published by the ACCC in June 2007. However, as Shell is essentially no longer a retailer, the submission makes limited comment on the retail market. As an overarching comment, Shell believes that the Australian market for unleaded petrol is highly competitive as evidenced by: • the fact that Australian fuel, both pre and post tax, is amongst the cheapest in the OECD countries; • Shell’s profits before interest and tax in 2006 equate to 2.3 cents per litre of fuel and over the last five years have averaged around 1.8 cpl or 1.5% on a litre of petrol); and • Shell’s investment of over $1 billion in the Downstream business

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.

This challenge is both lofty and necessary. During this time, higher education has yet to make noticeable change. I argue that this failure is because the movement is based on an inaccurate conceptualization of sustainability and false assumptions of the capacity of higher education. If we dig into the conception of sustainability itself and determine a more appropriate perspective, we may be able to reset the aims of the movement. If higher education can make this transition, it may need to recognize that it is not quite the dominant educational force it intends to be.

With increased investment in renewable generation, access to natural gas will have an important role as a fuel source for gas-fired generators to provide firming and security services. The creation of our energy trading venture – Shell Energy Australia – has enabled us to further expand into the east-coast domestic gas market. Through our QGC-LNG project and Shell Energy Australia we supplied around 16 percent of east-coast demand in 2019. We are active participants in the National Electricity Market (NEM) through the 144MW Condamine Power Station and are building our first commercial-scale solar project – Gangarri – in Queensland. The recent acquisition of ERM Power as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Shell Energy Australia, further unlocks growth opportunities to support the NEM as it transitions to more renewable flexible generation and storage. Long-term success of both the Australian economy and companies such as ours will be highly dependent on our ability to anticipate the types of energy and technology needed to support a reliable, flexible and cost- effective electricity grid. The confidence in this success needs to be driven by genuine leadership from governments and energy market bodies.
