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.

  • Bhp Billiton Interim Results Briefing Thursday, 19 February 2004
    BHP BILLITON INTERIM RESULTS BRIEFING THURSDAY, 19 FEBRUARY 2004 CHIP GOODYEAR: Slide 2 Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the interim results of the fiscal year 2004. I am coming to you from London today. Joining me is Chris Lynch. Chris is our Chief Financial Officer. Following the presentation today he will talk about our financial results. With Chris is Marius Kloppers. Marius is our Chief Commercial Officer. He will join Chris and I in our discussion around your questions and answers. Before I jump into the highlights I just wanted to make a general comment. When you take a look at our results they are certainly very pleasing for the first half of the year. But I also say that although price is certainly an important driver, it's by no means the only thing that was good for our results in the past year. In fact it's the execution of our strategy, and the consistent execution of that strategy, that has made an important impact on the BHP Billiton results. As we have said to you in the past, good things happen to companies that prepare for those good things to come. In our strategy we talk about building on a platform of low cost, high quality reserves and making those assets work well. The second level of our strategy is around operating excellence, finding ways to share knowledge across the organisation and build our economies of scale. The third area of the strategy is our growth pipeline and executing that pipeline on time and on budget. When you take a look at the results, price is there, but good operations, cost savings and executing our projects are important drivers to the overall performance of BHP Billiton in the last half year, and will be in the periods ahead.
