	Boston.com / Business / Nigeria: Shell oil reserve estimate exact (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Shell reduced its estimate of proved reserves in Nigeria by 1.3 billion barrels in January, as part of a larger reclassification of 3.9 billion barrels in its reserves.
		The Times suggested that some Shell executives were reluctant to reduce their estimates of reserves in Nigeria because that might hinder the government's effort to obtain an increase in its OPEC quota.
		Shell has confirmed to the government that its January downgrading of proved reserves in Nigeria would have "no impact on the reporting by Shell of its part of Nigeria's reserves in line with the national standard," Buerk said.

	McSpotlight on the Oil Industry
		Shell's oil exploration and production activities on Ogoni land in Nigeria has brought to the public's attention the impact these operations have not only on the environment but also on tribal peoples' land rights.

		Shell Oil asked the British government for permission to dump Brent Spar in a deep water trench and the British government gave them permission to do so (Oil companies operating in the Gulf of Mexico have been required to take their platforms apart and dispose of them on shore).

	Nigeria: Shell Oil Spill
		Shell, other transnational oil companies and the Nigerian state have visited upon oil-traumatized communities in the recent past the most terrible retribution for imagined and actual resistance to oil company presence and to oil company destruction.
		Shell's unfounded charge, immediately upon hearing reports that the Shell pipeline carrying oil through Ogbodo had burst, was that villagers cut the line, despite its being buried six feet deep and split from its underside.
		The Shell claim to have provided emergency water, food and medical attention was true but the amounts were so pitifully inadequate as to suggest that the claims were made by Shell strictly for public relations purposes.
