Our corporate history What began nearly 200 years ago as a small shop in London selling antiques, and later sea shells, is today one of the world’s major energy companies.
Beginnings
Marcus Samuel, founder of the Shell Transport and Trading Company Almost 200 years ago, a London antique dealer began importing sea shells from the Far East to supply a fashion for exotic décor. Marcus Samuel’s enterprise laid the foundations for a thriving import-export business later run by his sons, Marcus Junior and Sam. At this time oil was largely used in lighting and lubricants and the industry was based in Baku, Russia, with its large reserves of high quality oil and strategic natural harbour.

Environment & Society Learn how we are running our operations responsibly today and helping to build a responsible energy system for tomorrow. tomorrow.
Environment Meeting the world’s growing energy needs and protecting the environment requires new technology, partnerships and ways of operating. We continually look for ways to reduce the environmental environmental impact of our operations.

Climate change and Shell
We were one of the first energy companies in 1997 to acknowledge the threat of climate change, to call for action by governments, our industry and energy users, and to take action ourselves. Our latest energy scenarios show that fossil fuels will continue to satisfy the bulk of the world’s growing need for energy for decades to come. This makes managing CO2 emissions from coal, oil and natural gas critical in addressing man-made climate change. Our approach includes: 1. Increasing the efficiency of our operations. 2. Establishing a substantial capability in carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS). The underlying technologies for CCS are proven and we’re engaged in a number of projects to “learn by doing” as quickly as possible. 3. Continuing to research and develop technologies that increase efficiency and reduce emissions from our operations. 4. Aggressively developing low-CO2 sources of energy, including increasing supplies of natural gas and developing transport fuels, including biofuels. 4
5. Helping manage energy demand by growing the market for products and services - like fuel economy formulations for our petrol and high-efficiency lubricants - that help millions of retail and business customers use less energy and emit less CO2. 6. Actively encouraging governments to provide an effective international policy framework for managing CO2 and other greenhouse gases.

Managing environmental impacts Coastal Area Eco-Restoration Project : While mangroves are at threat all over the globe and in India, a recent survey indicates that Gujarat is the only state in the country that has shown an increase in Mangrove cover. One of the largest efforts in this area related to mangroves has been in Hazira peninsula. Preventing spills: Spills of oil and oil products can harm the environment and put our employees and neighbouring communities at risk. While spills from oil tankers attract the most public attention, they are rare. In 2008, the ships we managed carried 40 million tonnes of cargo and there were no spills. At our operations, we have been steadily reducing the amount of oil and oil products spilled for reasons we can control, like corrosion or operational failures. Thanks to ongoing improvements in how we run and maintain our plants, these spill volumes are nearly 80% lower than they were in 1998. 6
Tackling air pollution from our operations: Shell has been working hard to reduce the emissions of local pollutants from our operations. This has involved a wide range of investments to upgrade facilities, install cleaner-burning equipment and sulphur dioxide capture technology. Reducing our water use: New technology is playing a critical role in helping us reduce water use. Our Pearl GTL plant in Qatar, for example, has been designed to take no fresh water from its arid surroundings. The Schoonebeek project in the Netherlands will re-use municipal wastewater to make steam. In Oman a project is underway to plant reed beds that will clean up the 45,000 m3 of water brought to the surface daily when our joint venture produces oil.

Shell Code of Conduct Shell is a global company operating in a challenging world. Our Code of Conduct guides employees on how to apply the Shell General Business Principles in line with our core values of “honesty, integrity and respect”. It provides practical advice on how to comply with laws and regulations and how to relate to customers, communities and colleagues. Regulatory requirements placed upon us have never been more complex or demanding. The Shell Code of Conduct clarifies the standards we expect our employees to follow and the behaviours we expect them to adopt. The Shell Code of Conduct covers such topics as: National and International Trade, Health Safety and the Environment, Personal and Business Integrity, Financial and Asset Protection, People, and Information Management.

Revolutionising oil transport
The arrival of the internal combustion engine in 1886 led to a surge in demand for transport fuel. Building on their shipping expertise, the Samuel brothers commissioned a fleet of steamers to carry oil in bulk. They revolutionised oil transport with the maiden voyage of their first tanker, Murex. In 1892, Murex was the first ever tanker to transit the Suez Canal. The brothers’ company was named the Shell Transport and Trading Company in 1897. It used a mussel shell as its logo.
9
Becoming Royal Dutch Shell
Shell Transport’s activities in the East, combined with a search for new sources of oil to reduce dependence on Russia, brought it into contact with Royal Dutch Petrolem. The two companies joined forces in 1903 to protect themselves against the dominance of Standard Oil. They fully merged into the Royal Dutch Shell Group in 1907. Shell changed its logo to the scallop shell, or pecten, which is used today. By the end of the 1920s Shell was the world’s leading oil company, producing 11% of the world’s crude and owning 10% of its tanker tonnage. The 1930s were difficult: the group’s assets in Mexico were seized and it was forced to concede generous terms to the Venezuelan government when it nationalised its oil fields.
Tapping New Resources The 1970s were notable for Shell’s development of the oil fields in the North Sea and South America - difficult and expensive to do, but crucial given the reduced supplies from the Middle East. In 1978 Shell completed the Cognac drilling and production platform in the Gulf of Mexico, the world’s tallest platform at 1,100 feet.
10
Post-war expansion
After the Second World War, as peace brought a boom in car use, Shell expanded into Africa and South America. Shipping became larger and better powered. In 1947 Shell drilled the first commercially viable offshore oil well in the Gulf of Mexico. By 1955 Shell had 300 wells. In 1958 Shell began production in Nigeria.
11
The oil crisis In 1969, Ghaddafi took power in Libya, cutting oil production and raising prices. Other producers threatened to do the same and the Yom Kippur war of 1973 brought the crisis to a head. Within weeks OPEC countries quadrupled the oil price and imposed a boycott for two months. The effect on the West was economically catastrophic.
Expansion From the mid-1990s public scrutiny of the oil industry intensified as environmental issues gained prominence. Shell was criticised over plans to dispose of the Brent Spar platform and also ran into difficulties in Nigeria. As the new millennium got under way, Shell expanded in China and Russia. In 2005 Shell dissolved its old corporate structure to create a single new company. Shell remains one of the world’s major oil and gas companies. We have interests in liquefied natural gas and gas to liquids products; we help develop sustainable biofuels; and we are involved in wind projects.

History of Shell in India Pre-1994: History of Shell in India - beyond selling petroleum
Set up in 1928, The Burmah-Shell Oil Storage and Distributing Company of India Limited was a pioneer in more ways than one, and began operations with import and marketing of Kerosene. It pioneered rural marketing by reaching out to people even in remote villages to ensure supply of kerosene. With motor cars, came canned petrol, followed by service stations which were built in the 1930s. On 15th October 1932, when civil aviation arrived in India, the company fueled J.R.D. Tata's historic solo flight in a single engine de Havilland Puss Moth from Karachi to Bombay (Juhu) via Ahmedabad. Then, the company introduced LPG as a cooking fuel to the Indian home in the mid-1950s. Besides selling bitumen, the company pioneered desert road construction in India. In 1955 the company commissioned what was then India’s largest refinery which was the first to process newly found indigenous crude (Bombay High), in the country. On 24th January 1976, the Burmah Shell Group of Companies was taken over by the Government of India.

The history of the Shell logo For more than 100 years the word “Shell”, our Pecten emblem, and the distinctive red and yellow colours have identified the Shell brand and promoted our corporate reputation. These symbols have stood for the quality of our products and services, and represented our professionalism and values around the world. The word “Shell” first appeared in 1891 as the trademark for the kerosene that Marcus Samuel and Company shipped to the Far East. The small London business dealt originally in antiques and oriental seashells. In 1897 Samuel formed The Shell Transport and Trading Company. The first logo in 1901 was a mussel shell. In 1904 a scallop shell, or Pecten, gave a visual element to the corporate and brand name.
Why the Pecten?
The company name was “Shell” and each of Samuel’s tankers carrying kerosene to the Far East was named after a different seashell. The Pecten may have been taken from the family coat of arms of a business associate, Mr Graham, who imported Samuel’s kerosene into India and became a director of The Shell Transport and Trading Company. Following a pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela in Spain the Graham family had adopted the St James’s Shell. Over the years the form of the Shell emblem has changed gradually in line with trends in graphic design. Designer Raymond Loewy created and introduced the current emblem in 1971.
14
Why red and yellow?
In 1915 the Shell Company of California first built service stations and had to make these stand out from the competition. They used bright colours that would not offend the Californians: because of the state’s strong Spanish connections they chose red and yellow. The actual colours have developed over the years, most notably in 1995 when a bright, consumer-friendly Shell Red and Shell Yellow were introduced to launch our new retail visual identity. The Pecten remains one of the greatest brand symbols in the 21st century.

Our global business structure Shell is organised into: Upstream, Downstream, and Projects & Technology
Upstream Our Upstream businesses explore for and extract crude oil and natural gas, often in joint ventures with international and national oil companies. We liquefy natural gas by cooling and transport it to customers across the world. We also convert natural gas to liquids (GTL) to provide cleaner burning fuels. Upstream markets and trades natural gas and power in support of our businesses. We extract bitumen – an especially thick, heavy oil – from mined oil sands and convert it to synthetic crude oil. We are also developers of wind power as a means to generate electricity. Our Upstream businesses are grouped into two organisational units: Upstream Americas, covering the Americas, and Upstream International, covering the rest of the world with major interests in Europe, Asia/Middle East/Russia, Australia/Oceania and Africa.
17
Downstream Our Downstream organisation is made up of a number of businesses. Collectively these turn crude oil into a range of refined products, which are moved and marketed around the world for domestic, industrial and transport use. These include fuels, lubricants and bitumen. Our manufacturing business includes Refining, Supply and Distribution. Marketing includes our Retail, Business to Business (B2B), Lubricants and Alternative Energies and CO2. Our Chemicals business has dedicated Manufacturing and Marketing units of its own. We also trade crude oil, oil products and petrochemicals primarily to optimise feedstock for our Manufacturing business and to supply our Marketing business. Our CO2 organisation is responsible for coordinating and driving CO2 management activities across the company. The global network of Shell Trading companies encompasses Shell’s trading activities in every major energy market around the world. We also manage one of the world's largest fleets of liquefied natural gas (LNG) carriers and oil tankers.
18
Projects & Technology Our Projects and Technology organisation provides technical services and technology capability in upstream and downstream activities. It manages the delivery of major projects and helps to improve performance across the company. We deliver differentiated technical information technology for Shell and drive research and innovation to create tomorrow’s technology solutions. Projects and Technology also houses Safety & Environment and Contracting & Procurement as these are integral to all our activities.
India business structure Royal Dutch Shell is the largest and most diversified international investor in India's energy sector among all global integrated oil companies with nearly US$1 billion invested already. It is the only global major to have a fuel retail license in India. Besides being a major private sector supplier of crude, products, chemicals and technology to public/private sector oil companies, Shell also has key interests in lubricants, bitumen while operating an LNG receiving and regasification terminal, as well as a significant Technology center and a financial business services center.
19
Retail in India
Outlet at Vittal Mallya Road, Bangalore In July 2004 Shell India acquired a marketing license from the Government of India, to set up a network of up to 2,000 fuel retail stations in India. Shell India Markets Private Limited (SIMPL) a fully owned subsidiary of the Royal Dutch/ Shell Group (“Shell”) is implementing the license. SIMPL is a part of the Shell Group of Companies in India. Shell is committed to Sustainable Development as part of its General Business Principles. Sustainable development is about integrating the economic, environmental and social considerations into decision making by balancing short-term priorities with long-term needs by addressing the needs of different stakeholders with innovative solutions that provide win-win results for all in the long term. Sustainable development is at the heart of ‘the way we do business’ for Shell India. We believe in taking environmental impact seriously & addressing it properly. Shell also pays due attention to social opportunity. This integrated, early-start approach differentiates the sustainable development mindset. Working actively to realize our sustainable development outlook while developing our business profitably in India, SIMPL has linked its business plan at a fundamental level with its commitment to protect the 20
environment, maximizing the social and environmental opportunities at a local level. For Shell protection of the soil & ground water under and the environment surrounding the retail outlet is of utmost importance. The incorporation of leak-proof tankage, piping & other devices into the retail station design of Shell’s retail stations heralds a new trend in fuel retailing operations, where recognizing & mitigating the environmental & social impacts becomes the norm rather than the exception. Shell India also has a strong tradition of providing opportunities to benefit the local community through employment…etc. Additionally Shell is committed to understanding the needs of the marginalized and looks to their integration in the local community. To encourage increased participation of this segment of the society in the economic opportunities generated by our retail fuel business, Shell India has adopted the following measures and has integrated into the business plan: •
•
•
Design handicap-friendly outlets. Diversity at work place especially by creating favourable conditions for disabled persons and women to work at the outlets. Encourage economically marginalized youth to take up entrepreneurship opportunities of managing and running the Shell outlets.
Shell Retail now has a presence across 6 states- Gujarat, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Assam in the country and is keen to expand its presence in the country to offer customers everywhere our international quality fuels.
21
Diversity on the Forecourt Shell is the only international energy company licensed to build and operate service stations in India. We have brought our environmental and social standards with us, including our commitment to diversity and inclusiveness. Our quickly growing network of service stations has made a special effort to hire women, people with disabilities, and disadvantaged members of society. It started with listening carefully to ensure we understood their specific needs. For female employees, this meant installing separate changing and bathroom facilities. They work only the daytime shifts, so they do not have to work or travel after dark. Local NGOs have helped convince families that our service stations are appropriate places for women to work. As a result, there were on average 17 women employed per station by the end of 2006. For people with disabilities, we made our sites accessible, for example by installing wheelchair ramps. At each station, there is a supervisor who knows sign language. By the end of 2006, on average four disabled people were working at each station.

Shell Bitumen in India
Bitumen Plant at Savli, Gujarat
The first Shell bitumen plant in India was launched in December 2006 at Uluberia, near Kolkata in West Bengal. The plant is a modified bitumen and emulsion production plant that will produce a range of special application bituminous products such as different grades of Bitumen emulsions, Polymer Modified Bitumen and Crumb Rubber Modified Bitumen. The plant has a total installed capacity of 50,000 metric tones per annum, which can be expanded as per the market demand in future. This plant at Uluberia is also equipped to manufacture special tailor made bitumen products to international standards as per special climatic and road conditions and applications. Additionally Shell Bitumen in India also supplies ready to use instant road repair premix under brand name Shell Shelmac PR. This allows road to be opened to traffic within 10-15 minutes and imparts good strength to repaired area. The same is being successfully supplied through a network of franchisees in different parts of the country for the last five years and has been very well accepted by all contractors, road maintenance agencies and consultants in the country. Looking at high acceptance and appreciation of Shell’s products and services from Uluberia plant and to service the market needs in northern and western part of the country Shell Bitumen has commissioned a 23
similar Modified Bitumen and Emulsion Plant at Savli, near Vadodara in the state of Gujarat. This plant will also produce similar Bitumen Speciality products such as varied range of Bitumen Emulsions, High Performance Polymer Modified Bitumen (PMB), Crumb Rubber Modified Bitumen (CRMB) and other special application bitumenous products. We have also started a supply of conventional grades of Bitumen such as Bitumen 60/70 (VG-30) and Bitumen 80/100 (VG-10). In order to meet the quality requirements of Asphalt Mix, we will soon be launching Higher Performance grades of Conventional Bitumen. We are here to partner the growth of infrastructure in India in the long term.
Quality Product The real differentiation for a customer buying product from Shell Bitumen rests in basic product knowledge, understanding of its complete chemistry, Quality Control and the technology around it together with its performance on the ground, backed by global Shell bitumen expertise. Shell is more of a solution provider, supplying tailor-made, fit-forapplication and treatment of road products based on customer needs. Shell typically works with both the contractor, design and supervision consultant and the owner of airport runways/ major highways and even with rural roads to provide the most suitable and best product suited to their application, product needs and local conditions. Recent successes In Delhi on providing a thin layer eco-friendly system (Micro-surfacing using Cold Bitumen Emulsions) to re-surface city roads, in The Philippines (Shell provided a system for turning a rural unbounded road into a fit-for-purpose paved road) and China bear testimony to the Shell ability to raise overall quality / technology of the market which is critical to road infrastructure development in India.
24
Business Opportunities for Shell Bitumen in India India is building a huge network of national highways, state highways and rural roads (vast network of 3.3 million Kms, second only to USA) and would need world class product quality in order to minimize the maintenance cost of the roads over their life cycle. There is a huge central funding, states funding, external aid from WB / ADB and Private investments to build this massive road network in the country. Shell can significantly contribute to enhance longevity of road surface while simultaneously lowering maintenance cost through the application of technology based solutions during pavement construction and its preventive and routine maintenance . Whereas earlier roads were built with the primary aim of moving passenger traffic only, roads today need to take care of extensive movement of goods through heavy load axles on the road due to explosive economic growth. Thus the road designs need to be suitably upgraded to take care of present load and traffic intensity conditions on the roads. Another typical factor for India is the wide climatic variations over geographies and over different periods. Also, certain parts of the country are subjected to heavy rainfall or heavy snowfall. Further, there is a massive legacy road network that has weak base and cannot be upgraded overnight but need to be maintained using maintenance applications. Thus serving India’s legacy road infrastructure as well as paving modern Highways and Airports of tomorrow needs application of High end products and technologies, which Shell is capable to provide. Shell has entered the India market in bitumen with twin objectives: to leverage over 80 years of experience across the world in building safe, high quality roads to the benefit of the country and thereby to build a long standing profitable bitumen business in India. The Shell Bitumen plants at Uluberia (East India) and Savli (West India) will bring to India, best-in-class pavement solutions for highways, roads and airport runways as well as some other special applications. 25

Frequently asked questions specifically about fuel prices in India.
Q : What is the retail price of fuel made up of? A : The price of fuel at the retail station comprises the product cost, central government excise and taxes, State government taxes and operating costs and margin.
Q : Who controls pump prices In India? A : In India there is no regulated pricing as the Administered Pricing Mechanism was dismantled in 2001. However, the artificially low pump prices of petrol and diesel do not reflect the realities of the high crude and refined product prices. The low prices are subsidised by the present government through the issuance of oil bonds, which are given exclusively to public sector fuel retailers in India. For Shell ,the pricing decision is influenced by a number of factors including: •
•
cost of bringing the fuel to the retail site (product and distribution costs) cost of running the service station (e.g. salaries, rent, utilities) 29
Q : Why have fuel prices increased compared to previous years? A : The cost of crude oil and refined product have risen and therefore fuel prices have increased. The cost of crude oil and refined product are influenced by a number of factors, such as increasing oil demand, limits in refining capacity, seasonal demand for product and extreme weather events that have affected refineries or fuel supplies.
Q : Why do fuel prices vary in different countries? A : The price of fuel in different countries is affected by: •
•
•
•
Cost of buying finished product in the country (country supplies usually cheaper than importing product) Government excise and tax rates Government subsidies for fuel Currency fluctuations
Q : How does the US exchange rate affect fuel prices in my country? A : Since the world's major crude oil market is generally traded in US dollars, any variation between a country's exchange rate and the US dollar will impact the cost of buying crude oil in that country.
Q : Why doesn't Shell use its profits to subsidise fuel prices? A : Higher crude prices have contributed to company revenues, but oil industry profit margins have been in line with those of other industries.
Furthermore, energy companies need to continually invest billions of dollars each year, over the long term, to safeguard the future of their business and to ensure a sustainable energy supply for consumers. Producing crude oil involves long-term and high-risk projects requiring billions of dollars investment over 20-30 years (developing a single new oil field can cost over $1 billion). Higher profits in some periods help 30
safeguard investments when oil prices, and hence profits, are lower at other times.
Q : Can Shell use its influence to bring down the price of crude oil? A : No. Shell only produces around 3% of the world's oil. The majority of the crude oil that is used in our refineries to make finished fuel products is bought on the open market. The price of crude oil is influenced primarily by: •
•
•
•
Increasing oil demand Limits in refining capacity Currency fluctuations Market speculation
