09/06/2005

The Royal Dutch/Shell Group of Companies today published a technical report on Petroleum Resource Volume Requirements (Proved Reserves only). This report details the mandatory requirements for Proved Reserves reporting within Shell and is intended to assure compliance with rules set by the US Securities and Exchange Commission in relation to Proved Reserves. These requirements formed the basis for year-end 2004 reserves reporting.

The publication of the report follows our statements of 3 February and 28 April 2005, concerning our intention to publish information regarding Shell’s guidelines for booking Proved Reserves prior to the Shell Transport and Trading PLC and Royal Dutch Petroleum Company Annual General Meetings on 28 June 2005.

The report is available here to download:
