NAM to be broken up and sold off, as Dutch gas production ends

NAM to be broken up and sold off, as Dutch gas production ends

October 27, 2021

The Nederlandse Aardolie Maatschappij (NAM) set up in 1947 by Shell and Esso, is being dismantled, ending 75 years of Dutch gas extraction

The company, which is now 50% owned by Shell and 50% by ExxonMobil, is being chopped into four separate limited companies which will be sold off, including all its Dutch oil and gas interests, apart from the Groningen field which is being wound down.

The Groningen field, which has generated hundreds of billions of euros for the treasury, will close next year and the other fields, on both land and sea, are being sold off – probably to foreign investors. read more

Shell Broadband is really really bad

Sorry to say

Sorry to say, the broadband is really, really bad. Keeps dropping out have to keep re entering password, locked into a contract.

AVOID AVOID AVOID do not use this…

AVOID AVOID AVOID do not use this company to supply your broadband, we got up this morning to find that we had no broadband service. Having spent around 2 hours on the phone to Shell Broadband to try and get to the bottom of the problem. They say that we have been switched to a new supplier, when I asked who had authorised this switch they couldn’t give me an answer. It certainly wasn’t us…..Furthermore they have also informed us that we will now have to wait for 2 weeks to be reconnected. We have not received any communication from them with regards to this spurious disconnection.
We have the receipt for our account which has been maintained throughout the contact. As we are working from home we now find that we have no broadband access, when I asked for compensation for mobile data, I was told that I would have to fund the extra cost, and that they would look at this disconnection at their leisure. Even though mobile data isn’t really a workable option. We have been given the two fingered salute by this completely incompetent broadband provider.
When will Ofcom start to do the job that they are meant to be doing and dealing with these companies in a robust manner.
I asked to speak with a manager regarding this disconnection and was informed that I will receive a call back within 24 hours. Meanwhile we intend to switch supplier. But it would appear that they are all cowboys. Where are OFCOM.I will keep this post updated. read more

Horrendous customer service from Shell Energy

These reviews must be fake

These reviews must be fake, I was told last week that it would be 48 hours to get a phonecall regarding getting a smart meter install, I’ve not heard anything. I’m unable to complete a booking online and I have not had a phonecall like promised.

May change my review rating once I get a good service, not off to a good start.

Update: now changed to a 1 star review! Horrendous customer service! Still no call so I phoned and the agent creates a ticket for me, I got an email reply from the smart meter team asking me a load of questions wanting to know what time I set my alarm in the morning, what have I got for my lunch, how many times do I brush my teeth, etc. read more

Groningen gas damage is a national crisis, says ombudsman in new report

Groningen gas damage is a national crisis, says ombudsman in new report

The new government needs a minister with specific responsibility for sorting out compensation for people whose property has been damaged by the Groningen earthquakes, according to national ombudsman Reinier van Zutphen.

The situation in Groningen, where thousands of homes have been damaged by quakes caused by natural gas extraction, is so acute it can be described as a national crisis, Van Zutphen said in Trouw.

The ombudsman said too little had been done with his recommendations from 2017. Thousands of people, he said, are still waiting for compensation or help with making their houses safe. They have been sent from pillar to post and this ‘vicious circle’ needs to be broken. read more
