Case Study Of Royal Shell

Improved Essays
SHELL is one of the biggest oil and Gas Company in today’s oil and gas industry. It has two parent companies one being transport and trading (Shell Wikipedia, 2017) and other which I am interested and going to talk about is called as Royal Dutch petroleum company known as SHELL. Since last few decades gas exploration and production has become an important portfolio of Shell's business. Shell has acquired British Gas Group in year 2016 thus making it the world's largest producer of liquefied natural gas also known as LNG (Shell website, 2017). It is vertically integrated company and active in almost every sector of oil and gas i.e. right from exploration & production (both onshore and offshore) till refining, distribution as well as marketing. …show more content…
SHELL aims to overcome resistance and earn trust of the community and local people (ethnic groups as well) by taking necessary actions and investment. Various stakeholders and their values, perception, beliefs, fears and expectations are important parameters for SHELL’s analysis and incorporating them in company’s objectives and sustainability goals by balancing the needs of various stakeholders involved and formulate future business plans as well. SHELL listens to the grievances of communities and aims to reduce the operational as well as investment risks involved. However in recent times and especially in Nigerian and African region SHELL has been facing issues, resistance and hurdles in ‘Business strategic plans and operation plans’ as well. I feel that further research and help of consultants and experts is required in this area to grow further and sustain the development projects in future. A consultant will investigate external and internal environment in details which will also consider stakeholder influences and interest and concerns. So a thorough PESTLE, SWOT analysis & Porter’s five forces analysis for SHELL Nigeria is necessary (Rodrigo, 2013). Which is usually done and available only for SHELL as a whole group but not for SHELL NIGERIA. Also when stakeholders management (community and ethnic group management in particular) is involved then it is necessary to look into factors affecting them and one of the major factor is environment (land – {soil & farms}, water {potable, sea bed, ground water as well as water used for farming}, air pollution and diseases from them and impact on wild life, marine life as well. So consultant would also be involved in EIA- Environmental

    The first sector of the three is the upstream sector which is known as the exploration and production sector because it involves locating, recovering and producing oil and natural gas. The obvious first step in the process is to search for suitable locations that might contain oil underground. This is usually done with the help of a geologist who is usually employed directly by the firm. Some of the tools that the geologist might use to help them with this job include satellite images, gravity meters, hydrophones and seismometers. Before they begin to drill they must obtain a permission from the owner of the onshore or offshore land and conduct mandatory geological and geophysical surveys.…

    Broadening the pool of stakeholders is in itself a difficult proposition. Many of these stakeholders are not customers, and have varying opinions on quality of construction, applicability of use and individual concerns like the incorporation of alternative energies. While these concerns can be considered, and a successful project will need to satisfy many of the stakeholders, many FOE based goals are not financially feasible, and often times the interest of direct stakeholders (financial partners) are at odds with the interests of indirect stakeholders (the community). Many of the changes would not take significant monetary investment, such as incorporating a company culture and finding a way to spread and solidify that message across the company. This message could seek to better the communities by outreach, volunteering and charity, all of these are feasible goals.…

    Fontaine and Gaudin did not really object successfully or forcefully to the hardball tactics employed by Hauptmann and Zinnser. However, they were correct in noting the extreme importance of this contract for Pacific Oil, and some contract with Reliant, even a bad one, is likely better than no contract at all. Even so, Fontaine and Gaudin were not nearly forceful enough, and should have noted that they were making significant concessions already and were unwilling to go further. Hauptmann and Zinnser were using hardball tactics, and their style can thus be described as competitive.…

    First and foremost, defining the theory itself proved difficult. Furthermore, the identification and definition of the stakeholders and their interests were also a blurry task since managers had no method of doing so. It is true that some stakeholders are more important than others but since there is no indication as such of how to determine this , another problem faced is that of the balancing of interests.…

    Beyond the scope of North America, there are several environmental issues that are affecting both Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities around the world. These environmental issues stem from resource extraction techniques and a lack of concern for the well-being of the environment. For many Indigenous populations concerns regarding the health of the environment usually pose severe impacts to their livelihood. Due to its excessive quantity of natural resource, there are many cases of environmental destruction and human rights violations in Africa.

    The environmental case study of choice is oil spillage in Niger Delta region of Nigeria. I decided to write on oil spills in Niger Delta region of Nigeria because it affects the poor and vulnerable populations who are unable to confront the multinational oil companies and government who are benefiting from the proceeds of oil exploration. The region which is home to 20 million people consists of 40 different ethnic groups and occupies 7.5 per cent of the nation’s total land mass (Kadafa, 2012). A safe environment which is fundamental to health include access to clean water, shelter and food but these are no longer guarantee in the region as a result of oil exploration activities which have destroyed farm lands, aquatic and terrestrial lives…
