Comment from “An Old EP Hand” on the article:
Hello John
I had not looked at your site for a while when someone sent me your piece on the SSPF.
I distributed that to several old colleagues. Great appreciation. This whole deal is murky and stinks to high heaven. We should have closed the fund and not chosen for ‘invaren’.
But the politicians and evil HR staff forced/bamboozled the staffcouncil to agree. This whole deal is sold as transparant but it is as intransparant as can be.
Delta Lloyd and IBM have chosen to close and not go for invaren. read more

The Sakhalin Papers XCIV: The Blending Loophole — Russian Oil in Shell’s Supply Chain After the Apology
By John Donovan — 31 October 2026
On 8 March 2022, Shell apologised for purchasing discounted Russian crude oil and announced its intention to withdraw from Russian hydrocarbons. Yet its trading arrangements continued to permit purchases of certain refined petroleum products containing almost 50% Russian-origin material. Bloomberg exposed the practice in April. Ukraine’s government accused Shell of exploiting an accounting trick. Shell disputed the allegation that it was deliberately purchasing Russian products for blending and resale. On 27 April, Reuters reported that the company had tightened its trading terms to exclude refined products containing any Russian-origin material. The surviving corporate statements, contemporaneous trading reports and official sanctions records reveal what happened — and the important distinction between a contractual loophole, an actual purchase and an unlawful transaction. read more

Shell’s latest financial statements reveal a remarkable accounting consequence of the Middle East conflict. While the oil giant reports extraordinary profits, soaring tanker freight rates have triggered billions of dollars in additional shipping-lease liabilities. The figures are non-cash adjustments, not realised losses, but they expose another dimension of Shell’s vulnerability to geopolitical disruption.

One London council wants Shell to help pay for climate protection. Another is inviting the oil giant to move its headquarters across the Thames. The extraordinary exchange has revived memories of historic Shell-Mex House on the Strand — a building with its own place in the history of the Donovan family’s dealings with Shell.

The Sakhalin Papers XCIII: The Discounted Cargo — Shell’s Russian Oil Purchase, Ukraine’s Protest and the Apology That Followed
By John Donovan — 30 October 2026
On 28 February 2022, Shell announced that it would withdraw from its major Russian joint ventures following the invasion of Ukraine. Four days later, the company purchased a cargo of Russian crude oil at a record discount of $28.50 per barrel below the Brent benchmark. Ukraine’s foreign minister publicly challenged the transaction. Shell initially defended its decision, promising to direct profits towards humanitarian relief. On 8 March, chief executive Ben van Beurden apologised and announced a much wider withdrawal from Russian oil and gas. The surviving Shell statements, Reuters reports and contemporaneous records reveal how the controversy unfolded — and why the distinction between legal compliance and corporate responsibility became impossible to ignore. read more

Greenpeace says four leading oil executives have enjoyed nearly £19 million in increased shareholding value during the Iran conflict. Shell chief executive Wael Sawan accounts for more than £4.7 million of that estimate. But the most revealing evidence comes from Shell’s own regulatory disclosures, which confirm a substantial share disposal in May 2026.

The Sakhalin Papers XCII: The Russian Exit — Shell’s 28 February 2022 Announcement and the Financial Reckoning
Four days after Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Shell announced that it would withdraw from its major Russian joint ventures and end its involvement in Nord Stream 2. The decision brought an extraordinary chapter in the company’s history towards its conclusion. The financial consequences were immediate: a $1.614 billion impairment relating to Sakhalin II, a $1.126 billion write-down of its Nord Stream 2 loan and billions more in Russia-related charges. Yet Shell’s subsequent accounts reveal that the withdrawal was neither instantaneous nor complete. The original corporate announcements, SEC filings and contemporaneous reporting establish precisely what happened — and why the consequences remained unresolved years later.

But how strong is the evidence, what is genuinely new, and what would make the archive most valuable to independent researchers? read more

Climate campaigners dressed as 1960s oil executives staged a theatrical demonstration outside Shell’s London headquarters on 28 October, accusing the company of knowing about the dangers of fossil-fuel pollution for six decades. The protest coincided with the launch of a new archive containing historical Shell climate documents and preceded the company’s announcement of $10.8 billion in quarterly adjusted earnings. Behind the costumes, fake banknotes and mock boardroom behaviour lies a serious documentary question: what did Shell know about climate change, when did it know it, and what did it do with that knowledge? read more

Shell has reported one of the largest quarterly profits in its history as the war involving Iran disrupts global energy supplies and pushes refining margins to record levels. The oil and gas giant announced adjusted earnings of $10.8 billion for the third quarter of 2026, almost double the equivalent figure a year earlier, while increasing its next share buyback programme to $5 billion. The results illustrate a troubling paradox: the same international conflict that has damaged energy infrastructure, disrupted fuel supplies and increased costs for consumers has also created exceptionally profitable trading and refining conditions for some of the world’s largest energy companies. read more

An extraordinary new chapter has opened in the Nord Stream controversy. Reuters reports that senior American and Russian figures have discussed bringing a US investor into the Baltic gas pipeline system. But the European Commission has responded with an unmistakable reminder: the European Union is legislating Russian gas out of its energy market. For Shell shareholders, the renewed controversy raises another question. What, if anything, remains recoverable from the $1.126 billion loan that Shell wrote down in 2022? read more

The Sakhalin Papers XCI: The Security Report Withdrawn — How Germany’s October 2021 Approval Became a February 2022 Reversal
In October 2021, Germany’s economy ministry concluded that certifying Nord Stream 2 would not endanger European gas supplies. Its 54-page assessment acknowledged Russian state control of Gazprom, previous supply interruptions and objections from Poland and Ukraine. Four months later, Germany withdrew the assessment. The original document, subsequently released to the public, reveals what officials believed about Russian gas dependence before the invasion of Ukraine — and why the distinction between commercial infrastructure and geopolitical risk became so consequential for Shell’s investment.

The Sakhalin Papers XC: Built but Not Approved — Germany’s November 2021 Decision and the Regulatory Battle Over Nord Stream 2
On 26 October 2021, Germany’s Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs concluded that certifying Nord Stream 2 would not endanger German or European gas supplies. Just three weeks later, Germany’s energy regulator suspended certification of the pipeline’s operator. The original government records reveal that these were not contradictory decisions: they concerned different legal requirements. Meanwhile, Polish and Ukrainian energy companies had been admitted to the proceedings, raising objections to Gazprom’s control of the project. The documentary trail shows how a completed pipeline, backed by almost €9.5 billion in planned investment, remained unable to begin commercial operations — and how Shell’s substantial financing ultimately became a $1.126 billion write-down.
