Peter Voser commented (about Peter Voser): "These are exciting times for Shell. We are poised to deliver a new wave of financial and production growth. We are making substantial investments in new projects to drive Shell’s financial performance going forward. Shell should be in a surplus cash flow position in 2012, after capital investment and dividend payments, assuming $60 oil prices and a more normal environment for natural gas prices and downstream”. Voser continued: "

7thspace Tuesday, March 16, 2010 8:17:00 PM CET

Peter Voser said: “Our 2009 earnings were sharply reduced by the recession, despite Shell’s self-help programmes and $2 billion of cost savings. Although oil companies have been cushioned from the recession by OPEC’s action on quotas and oil prices, Shell has been disadvantaged recently, due to our higher exposure to refining and natural gas, where margins are hard-wired to the economy. This has come in a period where our spending is at historically-high levels, as we invest for medium-term growth. Near-term pressures on downstream and gas margins remain. However, the medium-term upstream fundamentals are robust, we expect oil to trade typically in a $50-$90 range, and to trend to the upside. In natural gas, cleanest of all fossil fuels, the medium term fundamentals are also attractive for Shell. However, the global refining industry may be in over-supply for some time. Shell’s strategy is centred on strong operating performance and sustained investment for organic growth. That strategy is robust, despite the difficult economic environment. But the company had become too complicated and slower to respond than we’d like. So we are sharpening up. The priorities are for a more competitive performance, for growth, and for sharper delivery of strategy. We have more to do to drive out cost and improve the operating performance in the company”
