News Release: Shell cut refinery gas pipe they thought was a water pipe

News release - Issued by Shell to Sea - Friday 19th April 2013

SHELL CUT REFINERY GAS PIPE THEY THOUGHT WAS A WATER PIPE
-- Latest incident further example of Shell as “Neighbour from Hell” --
 
Shell has admitted that on Monday, the 8th April, they had to vent all the nitrogen currently in the gas pipes at the Bellanaboy refinery, after they mistakenly cut a gas pipe. Shell claim the reason for this was the gas pipe was mistaken for a water pipe in the refinery and was cut.  The gas pipes on the refinery site are currently filled with nitrogen to inhibit corrosion.   The incident only came to light because a local resident contacted Midwest Radio with details of the incident.   Shell confirmed the incident took place one week after the event.

Midwest Radio Report on Shell cutting a refinery gas pipe, which they claim they thought was a water pipe.

Here is an audio clip from Midwest Radio regarding a incident which took place at Bellanaboy refinery on Monday,the 8th April. Seemingly a Shell worker cut one of the gas pipes on the refinery, which are now filled with nitrogen and so all nitrogen in refinery pipes thus had to be vented into the air. Shell are claiming the worker thought the gas pipe was a water pipe, until they cut it.

Dear Ms Szymanski

I am writing to you in your capacity as Chief Ethics & Compliance Officer of Royal Dutch Dutch Plc.

In case you are not already aware, I want to formally bring to your attention allegations made by an Irish company OSSL against Shell EP Ireland.

OSSL claim that their company was a supplier to Shell in respect of the Corrib Gas Project.

They allege that acting on Shell’s instructions, OSSL has distributed bribes on Shell’s behalf to parties connected with the project, including the Irish police force (the Garda) who have been the subject of serious accusations of wrong doing by environmental activists protesting against the project. The main accusation being that the Garda has acted as an offshoot of Shell security.

OSSL allege that invoices have been falsified on Shell’s instructions to cover-up what has been going on.

This week, OSSL has provided what they claim is an authentic invoice to Shell dated 24 August 2012 amounting to over €35,000 for alcohol allegedly given as a corrupt payment to the Garda. Senior Garda officers are named on the invoice.
