Western Firms Plan To Cash In On Syria’s Oil And Gas ‘Frontier’ By Nafeez Ahmed @nafeezahmed | December 1, 2015 US, British, French, Israeli and other energy interests could be prime beneficiaries of military operations in Iraq and Syria designed to rollback the power of the ‘Islamic State’ (ISIS) and, potentially, the Bashar al-Assad regime. A study for a global oil services company backed by the French government and linked to Britain’s Tory-led administration, published during the height of the Arab Spring, hailed the significant “hydrocarbon potential” of Syria’s offshore resources. The 2011 study was printed in GeoArabia, a petroleum industry journal published by a Bahrain-based consultancy, GulfPetroLink, which is sponsored by some of the world’s biggest oil companies, including Chevron, ExxonMobil, Saudi Aramco, Shell, Total, and BP.

Thousands more jobs at risk as Shell counts cost of BG takeover Robin Pagnamenta Energy Editor Published at 12:01AM, November 28 2015 Royal Dutch Shell is drawing up plans for more cost-cutting after its £43 billion takeover of BG Group, amid mounting pressure from shareholders to bolster the commercial logic of the deal amid falling oil prices. The oil giant, which already has unveiled plans to slash $3.5 billion from the combined group, is understood to believe that it can wring still more in costs from the proposed merger, which is expected to be completed next year. The extra cuts are likely to involve thousands more job losses across both companies, increased sharing of resources and the closure of BG’s headquarters in
Shell share price keeps falling despite HSBC backing The Independent Jamie Nimmo The stock market is missing a trick with Shell, according to analysts at HSBC. The oil supermajor’s share price keeps falling and yet the company is showing “tangible evidence of a sharper edge to management around capital discipline and financial performance”, HSBC’s Gordon Gray said, highlighting work halted by Shell in Alaska and its Canadian oil-sands project. Investors appear to be running for the hills, with the price of oil showing no signs of recovering soon.However, Mr Gray reckons the dividend is not under threat at Shell – one of the big concerns in the City amid the commodities rout – even if the price of Brent crude remains around $50 a barrel next year. Crunching the numbers for its £43bn (£28.5bn) takeover of BG Group, the analyst, who has a buy rating and 1,960p target price, said a bulkier Shell “looks far healthier than it would on a standalone basis”. His comments lifted Shell by 26p to 1,692.5p, though the shares are still down by a quarter this year, while BG Group was 23p better off at 1,032.5p and BP 3.5p richer at 389.6p.
Why BG May Be Best Way To Play Shell Acquisition Monica Gerson , Benzinga Staff Writer November 25, 2015 11:13am
Jamie Nimmo Oil supermajor Shell will wrap up its £43bn takeover of BG Group, according to analysts at RBC Capital, who argued that BG, up 6.5p at 1,009.5p, should rise now that Australia’s competition watchdog has given the deal the green light. BG’s market capitalisation is still about 12 per cent below the implied bid value, but RBC thinks this discount will close over the next couple of months and has lifted its recommendation to outperform. Shell, 1p off at 1,666.5p is reported to have secured the backing of Qatar, which has a 3.6 per cent stake in the Anglo-Dutch giant even after recent share sales.
