Shell's Shock of the Old
Keywords:
Peaple points to the challenge facing new Royal Dutch Shell CEO, Ben Van Beurden, with low return on capital below 1% on U.S. projects from high costs and declining prices. Shell's 2013 price earnings multiple is at 8.1, well below Chevron and Exxon. Van Beurden will become the CEO in January 2014. He worked for Shell for 30 years, with 10 years in the LNG business.

Shell's new CEO in 2014- Ben Van Beurden
07/09/2013
Ben Van Beurden is from the "downstream" refining and chemicals side where there is less tolerance for the cost overruns seen in exploration. He has expressed reservations at internal meetings on the costly projects Shell had taken up in remote regions. His focus is on capital efficiency and he says Shell's profit is "too low."

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
