I guess better them than BP. I still go to Shell as last resort, since having a car affected by bad gas additive so fuel gauge didn't work - lived with it for yrs until tank needed replacing around yr 15. There was a class action suit but our vehicle was 2 yrs outside range covered. Now here there's been a another death of an attendant during a gas-and-dash & it's come out stn docks wages for thefts & this was over $110 - likely over 2 days pay for the poor fellow.
Only thing Shell is doing is stating their policy is not to interfere in criminal activity - no reward to catch the guilty guy, no help with funeral, not even flag at half-mast at local Hq (that's only for royalty & dignitaries) etc. They're getting some very bad press over this, just like their tainted gas scandal they fought tooth & nail till proven guilty in court.

Drilling pilot holes and getting prepwork done is not the same as the drilling of the actual well...You have to do the rock work and pour a foundation before you build a house...

The Feds have more confidence in the containment barge passing the up right test than I do and not to mention the Blow Out Preventer valve thing.

Shell is a first rate company, but I'm afraid we're getting into an area where we are not able to handle the dreadful and remote conditions up there.

If this is the same Shell drilling project, a previous article posted on this blog indicated that Shell has postponed this project until the summer of 2013 because of some safety dome being damaged during testing.
