ABOUT THIS PUBLICATION
This Investors Handbook contains detailed information about our annual nancial
and operational performance over varying timescales from 2007 to 2011 . Wherever
possible, the facts and gures have been made comparable. The information in this
publication is best understood in combination with the narrative contained in our
Annual Report and Form 20-F 2011.
All information from this and our other reports is available for online reading and

INTRODUCTION FROM THE CEO
My colleagues on both the Board of
Directors and the Executive Committee
recognise how important it is to keep
shareholders informed of Shells
latest developments and we regularly
communicate with them on strategy and
performance. To aid investors in their
analysis of Royal Dutch Shell, we publish
this Investors Handbook: a compilation
of ve years worth of nancial and
operational information.
But any analysis of the Companys potential
return must rst be put into context. The
current macroeconomic environment is
uncertain and the global economy is
likely to see continued high volatility in the
coming years. Energy markets have been
affected by unprecedented geopolitical
events, such as the earthquake in Japan,
the eurozone debt crisis and the Arab
Spring. At the same time, rapid economic
development in non-OECD countries
is creating robust structural growth in
energy demand. By 2030 global oil and
gas demand could be 40% greater than
it is today. This growth equates to seven
times the current North Sea production.
To meet that future demand will require a
huge industry investment. The declining
production of many traditional petroleum
provinces makes the challenge all the
more difcult. The industry has to grow
production from new elds to more than
offset the natural production declines of
theold.
As a result, intense competition exists for
access to upstream resources and new
downstream markets. But we believe our
technology, project-delivery capability
and operational excellence will remain
key differentiators for Shell. As energy
projects become more complex and more
technically demanding, we believe our
engineering expertise will be a deciding
factor in the growth of our businesses.
Innovation and a competitive mindset will
also be crucial to our success.
We have delivered the strategic drivers
that made it possible for us to reach our
latest performance targets: cost reduction,
continual operational improvements and
16 successful project start-ups. Those
achievements allowed us to offer some
$10.5 billion of dividends in 2011, which
is the largest dividend in our sector and
more than 10% of the entire dividend
payout of the FTSE 100. Our improving
nancial position also allows for a
measured increase in both our investment
levels and cash returns to shareholders
in 2012. Over time, our performance is
reected in the returns we generate for our
shareholders not only in terms of dividends
we pay but also in the value of Royal Dutch
Shell shares.
Shell has built up a substantial portfolio
of options for the next wave of production
growth up to the end this decade. This
portfolio has been designed to capture
energy price upside and manage Shells
exposure to industry challenges, such as
cost ination and political risk. We see
signicant opportunities in both greeneld
exploration and established resource
www.shell.com/intro_handbook_video
positions in the Gulf of Mexico, North
American tight gas, liquids-rich shales and
Australian LNG. Shell is working to mature
these opportunities into viable projects, with
an emphasis on nancial returns. Our net
spending in 2012 is expected to be $30
billion to support our growth programme
for the medium term, with over 60 new
projects under construction or in design.
This investment is based on new cash-ow
targets of up to $200 billion excluding
working capital for 201215 assuming
$100 oil prices, improved US gas prices
and downstream environment from 2011.
I hope you will nd plenty of support for
these encouraging plans in the Investors
Handbook.

STRATEGY AND
OUTLOOK
Meeting the growing demand for
energy worldwide in ways that minimise
environmental and social impact is a
major challenge for the global energy
industry. We are committed to improving
energy efciency in our own operations,
supporting customers in managing their
energy demands, and continuing to
research and develop technologies that
increase efciency and reduce emissions in
liquids and natural gas production.
We leverage our diverse and global
business portfolio and customer focused
businesses built around the strength of the
Shell brand.
STRATEGY
Our strategy seeks to reinforce our position
as a leader in the oil and gas industry in
order to provide a competitive shareholder
return, while helping to meet global
energy demand in a responsible way.
Safety and corporate environmental and
social responsibility are at the heart of our
activities.
Intense competition exists for access to
upstream resources and to new downstream
markets. But we believe our technology,
project-delivery capability and operational
excellence will remain key differentiators
for our businesses. We expect around 80%
of our capital investment in 2012 to be in
our Upstream businesses.
PROJECTS & TECHNOLOGY
Our commitment to technology and
innovation continues to be at the core of
our strategy. As energy projects become
more complex and more technically
demanding, we believe our engineering
expertise will be a deciding factor in the
growth of our businesses. Our key strengths
include the development and application
of technology, the nancial and project-
management skills that allow us to deliver
large eld development projects, and the
management of integrated value chains.
OUTLOOK
We have dened three distinct layers for
Shells strategy development: performance
focus and continuous improvement; growth
delivery; and maturing next-generation
project options for the longer term.
PERFORMANCE FOCUS AND
IMPROVEMENT
We will work on continuous improvements
in operating performance, withan
emphasis on health, safety and
environment, asset performance and
operating costs. Asset sales are a core
element of our strategy improving our
capital efciency by focusing investment
on the most attractive growth opportunities.
Shell has sold a substantial portion of its
non-core assets in the last years. Asset sales
of up to $3 billion are expected in 2012 as
Shell exits from further non-core positions.
We have initiatives underway that are
expected to improve Shells integrated
Downstream businesses, focusing onthe
most protable positions and growth
potential. Shell announced exits from
800 thousand b/d of non-core rening
capacity and from selected retail and other
marketing positions in 20092011, and
has taken steps to improve the quality of its
Chemicals assets.
GROWTH DELIVERY
We are planning a net capital investment
of some $30 billion in 2012 an increase
from 2011 levels as Shell invests for long-
term growth. This amount relates largely
to investments in some 17 new projects for
which nal investment decisions were taken
in 20102011. They are part of a portfolio
of more than 60 new growth projects that
are under construction or being assessed
for future investment. Going forward,
annual spending will be driven by the
timing of investment decisions and the near-
term macroeconomic outlook.
In early 2012, Shell dened a set of
ambitious nancial and operating targets
for protable growth. These targets are
driven by Shells performance in maturing
new projects for nal investment decision
and by project start-ups.
Cash ow from operations (CFFO),
excluding working capital movements, was
$136 billion for 20082011. We expect
aggregate cash ow from operations,
excluding working capital movements,
for 20122015 to be 30-50% higher,
UPSTREAM
In Upstream we focus on exploration for
new liquids and natural gas reserves and
on developing major new projects where
our technology and know-how add value to
the resource holders. The implementation of
our strategy will see us actively managing
our portfolio around three themes in
Upstream:
Added 1.2 billion boe proved reserves (excluding the years production).
Discovered notable elds offshore French Guiana (Zaedyus, with more than 300 million
boe potential on a 100% basis) and offshore Australia (Vos, Satyr and Acme West).
Brought on-stream three major projects Qatargas 4, Pearl GTL and AOSP Expansion
Phase 1.
Took 12 nal investment decisions: Prelude, North West Shelf Greater West
Flank Phase 1 and Wheatstone LNG in Australia; Clair Phase 2 and Schiehallion
Redevelopment in the UK; Sabah Gas Kebabangan in Malaysia; AOSP
Debottlenecking, Cardamom and four tight-gas nal investments decisions in North
America.
Acquired Bow Energy through Arrow Energy LNG for some $0.3 billion (Shell share
of funding).
Divested interests in several Upstream assets, including the Rio Grande Valley south
Texas assets in the USA; the natural gas transport infrastructure joint venture Gassled
in Norway; Pecten Cameroon Company LLC; and Oil Mining Leases 26 and 42 and
related facilities in Nigeria.

EXPLORATION
Our exploration strategy is designed to
deliver new resources that grow production,
creating substantial value to Shell. We have
extensive acreage in high-potential basins
around the world and have had signicant
success discovering resources in them.
We draw on our extensive geological
knowledge, deploy innovative
technologies, get early access to new
licences and focus on material opportunities
both near existing infrastructure and
in promising new basins and plays. We
continue to focus on cost-efciency and
making early decisions regarding a
prospects potential.
DISCOVERIES
Our exploration performance has been
robust. Over the past ve years, we have
added discovered resources averaging
more than 1.9 billion boe per year.
Between 2009 and 2011 we added 7
billion boe including tight-gas resources.
During 2011, we participated in 417
successful exploration and appraisal
wells drilled outside proved elds. They
comprised 30 conventional and 161 tight-
gas and tight-oil wells, and 226 appraisal
wells near known elds. New proved
reserves have been allocated to 197 of
these wells.
Eleven notable new discoveries and
appraisals were made during 2011. These
are in Australia, Canada, China, French
Guiana, Nigeria, the UK and the USA.
TECHNOLOGY
Shell continues to build on a strong
legacy of innovative technology for
exploration in deep water, near existing
elds or infrastructure and increasingly
in new tight-gas and liquids-rich shale
opportunities. Our research centres develop
concepts, algorithms and tools that are
integrated with leading-edge technologies
from the external market to enable the
identication, appraisal and development
of hydrocarbons in deeper and more
complex geological settings with lower risk
and cost.
We are a leader in the acquisition of
seismic data in deep water by means of
wide-azimuth surveys and ocean-bottom
sensors. These technologies, when
combined with proprietary processing
algorithms, interpretation software and
ever-greater computing power, allow
us to create sharper seismic images of
rock formations. We can then locate
drilling targets in the formations more
accurately. For onshore seismic acquisition
in support of tight-gas and liquids-rich
shale opportunities, we are developing
innovative bre-optic and magneto-electric
sensor systems.
Advances in onshore well technology, such
as Shells proprietary light land rig and
lower drilling costs, allow us to develop
and produce resources that were previously
uneconomic. We have extended the
concept of a light drilling rig to offshore
operations, where we also have taken
advantage of automation to reduce the rig
crews exposure to hazards.
We have an outstanding safety record
in drilling deep-water wells. We brought
that expertise into the establishment of
the Marine Well Containment Company,
which provides containment systems for
deep-water wells in the US Gulf of Mexico.
In the shallower waters of Alaska, we will
have a dedicated oil-spill capping and
containment system designed to deal with
Arctic conditions.
We are locating and draining previously
stranded hydrocarbons near our existing
offshore eld infrastructure with record-
setting wells that extend laterally for
several miles from the drilling rig. We
are also developing new techniques to
understand and predict the distribution of
heterogeneities in tight gas and liquids-
rich shale reservoirs. This will enable us
to condently identify productive sweet
spots.

EXPLORATION PERFORMANCE
GLOBAL TIGHT-GAS AND LIQUIDS-RICH
SHALES
Worldwide, Shell has approximately
50,000 km
2
(12 million acres) of land
holdings containing tight-gas or shale
resources. Some 12,000 km
2
(3 million
acres) of liquids-rich shales were added in
2011 at a cost of around $2 billion.
Total global spending in these plays in
2012 will be some $6 billion. Development
spending on North American tight gas will
be around $3 billion for 2012 similar to
what it was in 2011. Those gures are at
the low end of our spending range of $3-5
billion per year, reecting the weak price
of natural gas. We will also spend some
$2 billion on exploration and appraisal of
tight-gas and liquids-rich shale resources
this year, with a focus on maturing our new
liquids-rich portfolio.
Shell has a strong portfolio of pre-FID
options that can support production growth
up to 2020. We have 36 projects in the
concept-selection or design phase, around
half of which are to be operated by Shell.
The projects include not only traditional
exploration and production activities, but
they also involve deep water, LNG, tight
gas, liquids-rich shale and heavy oil. In
total, these projects represent some 12
billion boe of resources. The main areas
of potential growth are the deep-water
elds in the Gulf of Mexico, tight-gas
and liquids-rich shale resources (mainly
in NorthAmerica) and LNG projects in
Oceania.
GULF OF MEXICO
We are drilling at least ve exploration
wells in the Gulf of Mexico in 2012. Shells
20172018 production potential in the
Gulf of Mexico is around 350 thousand
boe/d. The eld-development priorities
are hub-based projects at the Vito and
Appomattox discoveries. We aim to take
the nal investment decision on those
projects before 2015, with start-up a few
years later.
AUSTRALIAN AND INDONESIAN LNG
We are assessing future options in Australia
and Indonesia totalling around 10 mtpa by
2020.
The Arrow LNG project (Shell share 50%)
is based on coalbed methane, with two
liquefaction trains having a combined
capacity of 8 mtpa in the rst phase. The
purchase of Bow Energy in 2011 will
allow us to meet the current two train
requirements and subsequently develop
future expansion.
Shell has a 20% stake in Browse and a
34% stake in the Greater Sunrise oating
LNG project, both of which are operated
by Woodside. In 2011, Shell also entered
the 2.5 mtpa Abadi oating LNG project in
Indonesia with a 30% stake.
Appraisal and development of new liquids-
rich shale acreage could provide up to 250
thousand boe/d potential in 20172018.
We are moving to develop our Eagle Ford
liquids-rich position, following a successful
appraisal there in 2011. This forms part
of a more than $1 billion development
spending programme on North American
liquids-rich shales in 2012.

In 2011, integrated gas accounted for

LNG
Our expertise in the LNG industry is based
on the more than 45 years of technical
advice that we have provided for gas
liquefaction plants around the world
including the worlds rst commercial plant,
which came on-stream in 1964 in Algeria.
LNG is fast becoming a truly global
commodity and will continue its rapid
expansion in the years ahead, with global
demand potentially doubling in the next
decade. This will be driven by the growing
gas import needs of China, India, the
Middle East and Europe but also by new
importers such as Malaysia, the Philippines,
Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.

INTEGRATED GAS
Shell integrated gas projects that came
on-stream over the past few years include
Pearl GTL, Pluto LNG Train 1 (Woodside),
Qatargas 4 and Sakhalin-2. The Prelude
oating LNG project as well as the Greater
Western Flank Phase 1, Gorgon, North
Rankin 2 and Wheatstone projects are
currently under construction and are
expected to come on-stream within the next
few years.
Shell has also started considering GTL and
LNG options to monetise natural gas in
North America. These would be projects
that involve the entire natural gas value
chain and so play very much to Shells
strengths as an integrated player, but they
are still in very early stages of assessment.
Integrated gas earnings are part of the
Upstream segment and incorporate LNG
(including LNG marketing and trading) and
GTL operations. In addition, the associated
upstream oil and gas production activities
from the projects Sakhalin-2, North West
Shelf, Pluto LNG Train 1 (Woodside),
Qatargas 4 and Pearl GTL are included in
integrated gas earnings, as well as power

The Prelude FLNG facility will be the largest offshore facility in the world.
At Shell, we are proud of our leadership
in this sector of the industry. In recent
years, ventures in which Shell participated
have supplied as much as 30% of global
LNG. We have around 21 mtpa of Shell-
share liquefaction capacity currently in
operation in Australia, Brunei, Malaysia,
Nigeria, Oman, Qatar and Russia.
Qatargas 4, a joint venture between
Qatar Petroleum (70%) and Shell (30%),
was brought on-stream in early 2011
with a single mega train delivering
approximately 7.8 mtpa of LNG and a
peak production of 280 thousand boe/d.
The project opened up new markets for
Qatari LNG in China and Dubai, with
agreements signed in 2008.
Our total LNG sales volume in 2011
was 18.8 million tonnes up 12% from
2010. This increase mainly reected the
increase in sales volumes from Qatargas
4. Sales volumes were also higher from
Nigeria LNG, helped by a stable gas
supply, and from the Sakhalin-2 project,
where production reached 10 mtpa.
These increases were partly offset by
the reduction in the Shell share of LNG
production from Woodside Petroleum
Ltd the result of Shells sale of part
of its shareholding in the company in
November2010.
During 2011, total LNG sales contracts
were signed for some 6 mtpa. These long-
term contracts of up to 25 years are linked
to oil prices and will be fullled by Shells
global LNG portfolio. At an oil price of
$110 per barrel the contracts would deliver
revenues of around $100 billion on an
undiscounted basis.
Three LNG projects are currently under
construction in Australia, totalling around
7mtpa: Prelude FLNG (Shell interest
67.5%), Gorgon Trains 1-3 (25%) and
Wheatstone (6.4%). We are also assessing
an additional 15 mtpa in future options with
projects involving Arrow Energy, Gorgon
Train 4 and the Browse and Greater Sunrise
elds offshore Australia as well as the
Abadi eld of Indonesia.
FLOATING LNG
We believe that oating liqueed natural
gas (FLNG) will write the next chapter in
the history of the industry. In the coming
years, Shell will start to produce and
liquefy natural gas at sea, enabling the
development of gas resources ranging from
clusters of smaller and more remote offshore
elds to potentially larger elds. FLNG can
open up new business opportunities for
countries looking to develop their natural
gas resources.
In May 2011, Shell announced the worlds
rst nal investment decision to build an
FLNG facility. The facility will be used to
develop the Prelude gas eld, 200 km
off Australias north-west coast (see also
page9).
LNG FOR TRANSPORT
LNG has the potential to provide real
economic and environmental benets for
operators of eets of large, heavy-duty
trucks, ships and trains. As a transport fuel,
it lowers emissions of sulphur, particulates
and nitrogen oxides, and the energy
density of LNG means that it can offer the
distance range that operators need. The
potential cost advantage in using gas rather
than oil products can reduce the payback
time for investment in infrastructure, and
LNG used in trucks and other heavy duty
vehicles can mean quieter trafc, which

PRODUCTION
In 2011, hydrocarbon production available
for sale averaged 3,215 thousand boe/d,
which was 3% lower than in 2010 and 2%
higher than in 2009. Excluding production
lost from divestments, 2011 production was
approximately the same as it was in 2010.
Production in 2011 was mainly driven by
new projects coming on-stream, notably
Qatargas 4 LNG and Pearl GTL in Qatar,
the Athabasca Oil Sands Project expansion
in Canada and the continued ramp-up of
the Gbaran-Ubie project in Nigeria. New
start-ups and the continuing ramp-up of
elds more than offset the impact of eld
declines and the effect of higher prices on
production-sharing contract entitlements,
but were further offset by lower demand
due to warm weather in Europe in the
fourth quarter of 2011 and increased
maintenance activities compared with
2010.
is particularly important for working at
night. Several manufacturers are already
supplying LNG-powered engines for a
range of vehicles. As a fuel for ships, LNG
is not a new idea. Ocean-going LNG
carriers have been using it for more than
45 years. Shell has been a pioneer in such
shipping, with an excellent track record in
terms of the safe storage and handling of
LNG.
We see the main growth opportunities in
the near term to be in road transport and
coastal or inland shipping. Increasingly
stringent emissions regulations, abundant
supplies of competitively priced natural gas,
and the sheer scale and pace of demand
for fuel are driving these opportunities.
In 2011, Shell took the nal investment
decision on the Green Corridor project. It
will develop a retail infrastructure for the
supply of LNG along a busy truck route in
the province of Alberta, Canada. The LNG
will be supplied from a 0.3 mtpa plant
near Calgary based on Shells innovative
low-cost Moveable Modular Liquefaction
System.
GTL
Almost 40 years ago, Shell began
researching how to convert natural gas
into liquid fuels, lubricants and chemical
feedstocks. In 1993, this gas-to-liquids
(GTL) technology became a commercial
reality when the Shell Middle Distillate
Synthesis plant started up in Bintulu,
Malaysia. All in all, Shell has led more
than 3,500 patents covering all stages of
the GTL process.
We used our proprietary technology and
operational experience with GTL to build
Pearl, Shells and Qatar Petroleums massive
plant in Qatar. Ten times bigger than the
Bintulu plant, Pearl is the worlds largest
GTL plant and one of the largest industrial
developments in the world.
Both trains of the Pearl project have started
production, with the rst commercial gasoil
shipment from Train 1 having taken place in
June 2011. At peak production capacity,
Pearl will take 320 thousand boe/d of
gas and turn it into 140 thousand boe/d
of GTL products and 120 thousand boe/d
of natural gas liquids and ethane. This
amounts to almost 8% of Shells worldwide
production, making it the companys
main engine for growth for 2012. Over
its lifetime, Pearl will process about three
billion boe from the worlds largest single
non-associated gas eld, the North Field,
which contains more than 900 tcf of gas.

the ratio was 127% in 2011 and 175% in
the period 20092011.
The largest crude-oil proved reserves
additions in 2011 were from eld
performance studies for development
activities in Europe (140 million barrels,
primarily Italy and the UK) and Africa (128
million barrels). An extension of mining
operations in Alberta, Canada also added
signicantly to proved reserves (116 million
barrels). The main increase in natural gas
reserves came from: eld extensions and
discoveries associated with LNG integrated
projects in Australia (1,471 billion scf);
revisions and reclassications in Denmark,
Norway, Ireland and the UK that resulted
from better production performance and
development activities (990 billion scf);
and extensions and discoveries related
to development drilling in Canada (816
billion scf).
Proved reserves can be either developed
or undeveloped. Subsidiaries proved
oil-equivalent reserves at the end of 2011
were divided into 63% developed and
37% undeveloped. For the Shell share of
equity-accounted investments the proved oil-
equivalent reserves were divided into 76%
developed and 24% undeveloped.
In 2011, Shell added 1,205 million boe
of SEC proved oil and gas reserves before
accounting for the years production. At
the end of the year, total proved oil and
gas reserves excluding non-controlling
interest were 14,250 million boe (10,304
million boe for Shell subsidiaries and
3,946 million boe for equity-accounted
investments). Reserve life (an estimate of
how many years it would take to exhaust
the current proved reserves at the current
level of production) has increased from 10
years at the end of 2007 to approximately
12 years at the end of 2011.

are Petronas(30%) and the Iraqi state
partner (25%), represented by the Missan
Oil Company. Located in southern Iraq,
Majnoon is one of the worlds largest oil
elds. The Iraqi government estimates it
to have about 38 billion barrels of oil in
place. The rst phase of the development is
planned to bring production to some 175
thousand b/d from the start level of 45
thousand b/d, when the contract entered
into effect in March 2010. We also hold a
15% interest in the West Qurna 1 eld, as
part of the ExxonMobil-led consortium. At
the end of 2011, production was some 370
thousand b/d. According to both contracts
provisions, Shells equity entitlement
volumes will be lower than the Shell interest
implies.
In November 2011, Shell signed an
agreement with the government of Iraq
to establish a joint venture between Shell
(44%), the South Gas Company (51%)
and Mitsubishi Corporation (5%). The joint
venture will be called Basrah Gas Company
(BGC). BGC will gather, treat and process
raw gas produced from the Rumaila, Zubair
and West Qurna 1 elds. Currently, an
estimated 700 million scf/d of gas is ared
because of a lack of infrastructure to collect
and process it. The processed natural
gas and associated products, such as
condensate and LPG, will be sold primarily
to the domestic market with the potential to
export any surplus.

Over many decades we have developed
the proprietary technologies, processes
and catalysts that enable Shell to enjoy
a powerful competitive advantage in our
core petrochemical markets. Our OMEGA
technology is considered the most efcient
technology currently available in the world
for converting ethylene to ethylene oxide,
which is used to make a wide range of
industrial and consumer products, such as
polyester lms and bres, engine coolants
and antifreeze. OMEGA uses about 20%
less steam and 30% less waste water
than a traditional thermal conversion
MEG plant with the same capacity. The
technology also produces signicantly less
carbon dioxide per tonne of MEG than
conventional processes.
In Singapore, we are building a
demonstration unit to manufacture the
chemical ingredient diphenyl carbonate, a
versatile and growing engineering plastic
used in a wide variety of applications, from
optical media, household items, automotive
components to electronics and sheeting/lm.
CHEMICALS
We produce and sell petrochemicals to
some 1,100 major industrial customers
worldwide, with the top 20 customers
accounting for about 42% of our third-
party sales proceeds. Our range of
petrochemicals includes base chemicals,
such as ethylene, propylene and aromatics;
and rst-line derivatives, such as styrene
monomer, propylene oxide, solvents,
detergent alcohols, and ethylene oxide.
Our customers, many of them leading
companies in their own elds, use these
products to make everyday items, such
as plastics, detergents, textiles, medical
equipment and computers. All in all, we
sold almost 19 million tonnes of bulk
petrochemicals in 2011.
We also produce additives for fuel and
lubricants, and catalysts for renery and
petrochemical markets. Shell catalysts
have steadily improved the production of
ethylene oxide, an important building block
for synthetic fabrics, plastic bottles and
antifreeze. More efcient ethylene oxide
production has the benet of lowering CO

We announced the divestment of our
Downstream businesses in Africa (excluding
South Africa) for a total consideration of
some $1 billion. In 2011, we completed
the sale of the businesses in Cape Verde,
Madagascar, Mali, Mauritius, Morocco,
Senegal and Tunisia. The businesses in the
remaining countries under consideration for
divestment are expected to be sold during
the course of 2012. We also launched
Vivo Energy (Shell interest 20%) and Vivo
Lubricants (Shell interest 50%). Under the
agreements, these entities will continue to
market Shell fuels and lubricants, which are
available in 14 African countries under the

BIOFUELS
The international market for biofuels is
growing, driven largely by the introduction
of new energy policies in Europe and the
USA that call for more renewable, lower-
carbon fuels for transport. Today, biofuels
make up around 3% of the global road
transport fuel mix. This could rise to 9% by
2030. Sustainable biofuels are expected
to play an increasingly important role in
helping to meet customers fuel needs and
reduce CO
2
emissions.
Shell has a 30-year history of biofuel
development and investment. Producing,
buying, trading, storing, blending and
distributing biofuels are now part of
our usual business. We believe we are
one of the worlds largest distributors of
biofuels, and we continue to build capacity
in conventional biofuels that meet our
corporate and social responsibility criteria.

In 2011, Shell and Cosan launched the
Razen biofuels joint venture (Shell interest
50%) in Brazil for the production of ethanol,
sugar and power, as well as the supply,
distribution and retailing of transport
fuels. With an annual production capacity
of more than 2 billion litres per year of
ethanol from sugar cane, Razen is one of
the worlds largest ethanol producers. This
deal marks Shells rst move into the mass
production of biofuels. Ethanol produced
from sugar cane in Brazil is the most
sustainable and cost-competitive of todays
biofuels. It can reduce net CO
2
emissions
by up to 70% compared with gasoline.
We recognise the sustainability challenges
associated with some biofuels. For that
reason, we are working to ensure that
the feedstocks and conversion processes
for the biofuels we purchase today are
as sustainable as possible. In 2007,
we introduced environmental and
social clauses into the contracts for the
bio-components that we purchase for
blending. And we monitor how well our
suppliers adhere to those clauses. We
are also working with non-governmental
organisations, policymakers and industry
coalitions to develop and promote
robust global standards for ensuring the
sustainability of biofuels production.
Advanced biofuels, which are based on
new conversion processes for feedstock
such as crop waste or inedible plants, offer
the potential for improved CO
2
reductions
and improved fuel characteristics. Shell was
one of the rst energy companies to invest
in advanced biofuels and we continue to
invest in them. They will take time to reach
commercial scale and government support
will be required to accelerate their speed of
development.
Our Projects & Technology organisation
has a dedicated team working on biofuel-
related research at four centres in the UK,
the USA, the Netherlands and India. Its
efforts are complemented by agreements
with experts in academic institutions across
the world.
Shell also has technical partnerships with
the leading biotechnology companies
exploring new production techniques for
advanced biofuels. With the Canadian
rm Iogen Energy we are developing
technology that uses enzymes to break
down the cellulose in, for example, wheat
and barley straw. The cellulose is converted
to sugars which are then fermented and
distilled into ethanol. Through Razen, our
research programme with Codexis in the
USA is developing natural enzymes into
super-enzymes that speed up the conversion
of biomass to ethanol. Those of Virent, in
contrast, are based on the direct conversion
of organic sugars into gasoline or gasoline-
blend components.
WIND
Shell Wind Energy has strong operational
and development capabilities with 10
joint-venture projects eight in the USA and
two in Europe (Shell share approximately
50%). The projects generating capacity
totals about 1,000 megawatts enough
electricity to meet the annual requirements
of 300,000 homes. If supplied by
conventional power plants, that amount
of electricity would have necessitated the
emission of 3 million tonnes of CO
2
.
Almost 900 MW of our total capacity come
from 722 wind turbines of the eight US
projects. The biggest single one, the 264
MW Mount Storm wind project in West
Virginia, began operations in 2008. Our
European wind projects are located in
Germany and the Netherlands. All in all,
the European operations involve a total
of 38 wind turbines with an aggregate
capacity of 111 MW.
PROJECTS &
TECHNOLOGY
40 Shell Investors Handbook
Projects & Technology
The delivery of Shells strategic objectives
depends on its capability to build large
and complex projects reliably and safely,
on time and on budget. The Projects
& Technology (P&T) organisation has
that capability. It executes projects and
provides a range of technical services in
both Upstream and Downstream. It also
drives the research and innovation to create
the technology that will be needed in the
future. Furthermore, it provides functional
leadership in contracting and procurement
as well as in safety. In total, more than
8,000 people work in P&T, of whom
roughly 600 have PhDs.
DELIVERING
PROJECTS
Specialist P&T teams manage complex
mega projects from concept to commission,
often in challenging environments. Our
Cardamom eld in the Gulf of Mexico, for
example, sits under more than 800 m of
water and another 7,600 m of rock, and is
expected to produce 50 thousand boe/d.
Our massive Prelude oating facility is
expected to produce, liquefy, store and
ofoad 110 thousand boe/d of Australian
natural gas entirely out of sight of land.
41 Shell Investors Handbook
Projects & Technology
Shells growth prole has recently been
dominated by three large upstream projects:
Pearl GTL, Qatargas 4 and the Athabasca
Oil Sands Project expansion. Despite their
particular environmental and engineering
challenges, they have all been successfully
delivered and are now on-stream.
P&T teams also undertake downstream
projects. At several reneries around the
globe they have implemented technology
that improves the renerys efciency
and enables it to use a wider range
of feedstock. In Port Arthur, Texas, for
instance, an expansion project will turn
the renery there into the largest in North
America. P&T also works with local teams
to deliver more routine projects that require
extra support or expertise.
We are constantly looking for opportunities
to simplify and standardise project execution,
with the aim of improving efciency and
reducing costs. In 2011, Shell created a
global community of project managers to
facilitate resourcing and build up expertise
through the sharing of best practices. The
Shell Project Academy invigorates this
global community. It provides an accredited
competence development programme that
makes our project staff capable of delivering
sustained top-quartile performance.
INNOVATIVE
TECHNOLOGY
In a fast-changing and highly competitive
world, technological innovation is a key
differentiator for Shell. We continue to
invest in technology for our Downstream
business across the range of its activities
from rening to chemicals. For example,
our technology leadership in lubricants
as a portfolio of more than 150 patent
series attests provides a key competitive
advantage to help create some of the most
advanced oils and greases.
Our cutting-edge technology continues to
deliver powerful catalysts and proprietary
processes to help give us a competitive
edge in core petrochemical markets. Our
catalysts, for example, lie at the heart of
some of the most efcient manufacturing
units for ethylene oxide and mono-ethylene
glycol. And a new process chemistry
we are developing has the potential
to create a more sustainable route to
diphenyl carbonate: a key raw material for
polycarbonates, which substitutes for glass
in many products.
As we enter a new wave of growth
based on deep-water projects and the
development of tight, shale and coalbed-
methane resources, drilling is becoming
a key determinant of Shells success. Shell
already has a strong performance record
there. For several years running, it has
been ranked rst in benchmarking studies
of the Independent Project Analysis Institute
and in the top quartile in terms of cost
competitiveness. As we further develop our
drilling operations, we are commissioning
state-of-the-art rigs and well technologies
that comply with the highest industry
standards for safety and the environment.
We also lead the industry in the use of
underbalanced drilling. Such drilling
results in higher inow rates after the well
is completed. That extra ow is particularly
important in tight gas reservoirs, where
even under the best of circumstances the
gas moves through the rock a thousand times
slower than it would through conventional
reservoirs. The successful development of
tight-gas elds also depends critically on
drilling costs. Here too we have developed
ways to save money without compromising
safety or putting the environment at undue
risk. Our soft-torque rotary drilling system,
for instance, dampens the uncontrolled
twisting of drill pipe, making it possible to
nish wells quicker and with fewer drill-bit
changes.
We persist in pursuing technological
breakthroughs across the spectrum
of our businesses: from novel seismic
acquisition technology to enhanced
oil-recovery methods, from advanced
biofuels to ultralow-friction lubricants. We
also work on technologies to reduce the
environmental footprint of our operations
and products. These are applied, for
example, in carbon capture and storage
schemes to reduce CO
2
and other emissions
or in energy-efciency programmes for our
reneries or for our customers.
The development of Shell technology
is intrinsically linked to our strategic
objectives and based on the needs of our
customers. It is driven by a single integrated
R&D organisation that complements
in-house development of proprietary
technologies with external scientic and
technological partnerships. This partnering,
which sometimes involves openly sharing
results, helps to ensure a healthy inux of
new ideas and to speed up technology
developments.
R&D EXPENDITURE
Technology and innovation provide ways
for Shell to stand apart from its competitors.
They help our current businesses perform,
and they make our future businesses
possible. Over the last ve years our spend
on R&D averaged more than $1 billion
annually more than any other international
energy company. In 2011, R&D
expenditures were $1.1 billion, compared
with $1.0 billion in 2010 and $1.1 billion in
2009. We also anticipate spending gures
in the same range in the coming years.
WELL MANUFACTURING SYSTEM
We aim to further improve our drilling
efciency and control costs through
innovative automation. In 2011, we
reached an agreement with China National
Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) to develop
jointly a well manufacturing system that can
repeatedly drill and complete standardised
wells in a automated manner. Such a system
will help us unlock resources that so far had
been uneconomic to develop.
A new Shell technology SCADAdrill
will play an important role in the well
manufacturing system. SCADAdrill is the
control software that enables computerised
drilling to proceed autonomously, with
continual self-adjustment of the bit
trajectory. In this way, well engineers can
be kept away from the worksite hazards as
drilling proceeds faster and more reliably.
The Shell/CNPC venture expects to build
nine of these automated rigs in 2012 and
offer support services on a world-wide
basis. We expect the venture to spend
about $1 billion, employ 700 staff and
have more than 40 rigs operational by
2015.

Projects & Technology
Sustained investment in our key business
technologies pays off. Some 30 years
ago we started working on chemicals for
enhanced oil recovery that include polymer
solutions like the one that is being injected
since early 2010 into the Marmul eld in
Oman. There it is expected to boost oil
recovery by some 10% or more. Shell has
also pioneered deep-water exploration
and production over the decades, recently
producing oil and gas through the Perdido
platform in the Gulf of Mexico. Perdido is
moored in water deeper than that of any
other vertical-access platform, tapping
elds under more than 2,450 metres
(8,000 feet) of water.
SAFETY
Sustaining our licence to operate depends
on maintaining the safety and reliability of
our operations. We manage the hazards
of our businesses through rigorous controls
and compliance systems combined with
a safety-focused culture. Our global
standards and operating procedures dene
the controls and physical barriers we
require to prevent incidents. For example,
our wells are designed and executed under
the protection of two barriers to minimise
the risk of an uncontrolled release of
hydrocarbons. We regularly inspect, test
and maintain these barriers to ensure they
are meeting our standards.
In order to reinforce the safety of our
operations around the world after the BP
Deepwater Horizon incident in 2010, we
undertook a review of operating practices,
testing frequencies, training protocols and
safety procedures. We have made some
adjustments to our safety and technical
procedures including: the introduction
of an advanced well-control class in our
mandatory well engineering training
program; the completion of a new real-time
well control tool; and the introduction of
revised procedures for casing and tubing
design as well as for cement casing.
We also reviewed and updated our
requirements for asset integrity and process
safety.
We continue to build the safety culture
among our employees and contractors. We
hold an annual global safety day to give
workers time to reect on how to prevent
accidents. We expect everyone working
for us to intervene and stop work that may
appear to be unsafe. Everyone working for
us has to comply with our 12 mandatory
Life-Saving Rules. If employees break these
rules, they will face disciplinary action up to
and including termination of employment.
If contractors break them, they can be
removed from the worksite.
CONTRACTING
AND PROCUREMENT
To gain a competitive advantage within the
oil and gas industry, Shell must leverage its
overall buying power. We must also remain
vigilant and nimble in a volatile economy
in order to mitigate business risks and
unlock business opportunities. And we must
develop mutually benecial relationships
with suppliers, governments, technical
partners and the various communities that
neighbour its operations.
Shells Contracting and Procurement
(C&P) organisation is responsible for
nearly everything that Shell subsidiaries
buy across the full scope of activities in
the Upstream, Downstream and Projects
& Technology Businesses. This currently
amounts to over $60 billion in annual
spend. C&Ps specialised knowledge helps
Shell subsidiaries focus on what and how
much should be bought and at what price.
The priority is on getting the most value out
of our purchases, not just the lowest cost.
By putting its global internal demand for
goods and services into one contractual
package on the external marketplace,
Shell gains leverage in terms of safety,
quality of goods and services, costs and
technical innovation. The selection of
preferred suppliers enables a far closer
oversight of delivery and performance,
better mechanisms for quality control and
signicantly lower prices. Such contract-
management improvements, coupled
with increasingly efcient operations and
collaborative relationships with suppliers,
saved more than $1 billion per year in
2010 and 2011.
The C&P organisation also analyses the
market, enabling it to be forward-looking
in its support of sourcing strategies. In
addition, C&P has a key role in ensuring
Shell seeks to work with contractors and
suppliers who contribute to sustainable
development and are economically,
environmentally and socially responsible.

RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT EXPENDITURE
Cumulative 20072011
CORPORATE SEGMENT
The Corporate segment covers the non-
operating activities supporting Shell. It
includes Shells treasury organisation,
its headquarters and central functions as
well as its risk management and self-
insurance activities. All nance income
and expense, as well as related taxes and
exchange-rate effects, are included in the
Corporate segment earnings rather than
in the earnings of the Business segments.
The Corporate segment earnings also
include functional costs that have not been
allocated to the other segments.
TREASURY
The holdings and treasury organisation
manages many of the Corporate entities
and is the point of contact between Shell
and the external capital markets. It is
centralised in London and supported by
regional centres in Singapore and Rio
de Janeiro. Its daily operations include
liquidity management, advising and
nancing subsidiaries and joint ventures,
arranging the efcient investment of any
surplus funds, transacting foreign exchange
and managing Shells bank account
infrastructure. The treasury organisation
maintains Shells credit ratings and debt
platforms, issues short- and long-term
capital-market instruments and executes the
Royal Dutch Shell dividend, scrip and share
buyback programmes.
HEADQUARTERS
AND CENTRAL
FUNCTIONS
Headquarters and central functions render
services to the Businesses (Upstream
Americas, Upstream International,
Downstream, Projects & Technology) as
well as other functions. They also provide
support for the shareholder-related activities
of Royal Dutch Shell. The services they
render cover the areas of nance, human
resources, legal advice, information
technology, real estate, communications,
health, security and government relations.
They also assist the Chief Executive Ofcer
and the Executive Committee. The central
functions have been increasingly supported
by business service centres located
around the world. These centres process
transactions, manage data and produce
statutory reports, among other services.
The majority of the headquarters and
central-function costs are recovered from the
Business segments. Those costs that are not
recovered are retained in Corporate.
RISK AND
INSURANCE
The BP Deepwater Horizon incident was a
harsh reminder of the vital importance of
effective risk management in the oil and
gas industry. At Shell, we aim to drive
down the total cost of risk by using robust
methodologies and processes to assess,
mitigate and manage risk. They include
the valuation of risks so that this can be
properly taken into account in decision
making. It also requires the causes of
losses experienced to be analysed and
understood so that they can be reduced in
the future. To support this, Shells insurable
risks are mainly aggregated and retained
within insurance subsidiaries, which
means that Shell self-insures most of its
risk exposures. The insurance subsidiaries
form a key part of the Shells approach to
risk management. They provide insurance
coverage to Shell entities, up to $1.15
billion per event, generally limited to
Shells percentage interest in the relevant
entity. The type and extent of the coverage
is equal to that which is otherwise
commercially available in the third-party
insurance market.

[ A] In March 2007, Shell acquired the non-controlling interests in Shell Canada for a cash consideration of $7.1 billion. This was reected as a decrease in non-
controlling interest and in retained earnings of $1,639 million and $5,445 million respectively. In April 2007, Shell sold half of its interest in Sakhalin-2 for $4.1
billion reducing its interest from 55% to 27.5% . As a result of this transaction, Sakhalin- 2 has been accounted for as an associated company rather than as a
subsidiary with effect from April 2007. The main impact on the Consolidated Balance Sheet was a decrease of $15.7 billion in property, plant and equipment and
$6.7 billion in non-controlling interest, and an increase in equity-accounted investments of $3.7 billion.

PROVED OIL AND GAS RESERVES
The tables present oil and gas reserves on a
net basis which means that they include the
reserves relating to (i) the Shell subsidiaries
excluding the reserves attributable to
non-controlling interest holders in our
subsidiaries and (ii) the Shell share of equity-
accounted investments. Proven minable oil
sands reserves are reported separately for
20072008. As a result of SEC rule changes,
these proven minable oil sands reserves have
been converted to synthetic crude oil proved
reserves and from 2009 onwards these are
included in the proved oil and gas reserves.
Moreover, from 2009 onwards bitumen
proved reserves are reported separately. In
previous years, the bitumen proved reserves
were included in the reported proved oil and
gas reserves in Canada.
