Shell sets new UK profits record BBC 31 January 2008.
"The Anglo-Dutch oil firm Royal Dutch Shell has reported annual profits of $27.56bn (£13.9bn), a record for a UK-listed company.
Much of the rise in profits has been attributed to rising oil prices, which currently stand at about $91 a barrel compared with $57 this time last year.
But there is concern among analysts that Shell has delayed publishing figures showing its oil reserves."
Shell's slippery slope BBC 18 March, 2004.
"The company has delayed its annual report, due on Friday, until later in the year.
And for the second time in less than four months, it has had to admit to getting its estimated oil reserves wrong."
I wonder what will happen this time around?
