31/07/2008
At 07.00 BST (08.00 CEST and 02.00 EDT) on Thursday July 31, 2008 Royal Dutch Shell plc released its second quarter results and second quarter interim dividend announcement for 2008.

"This is another set of competitive earnings for Shell shareholders. Good operating performance, combined with increased oil and gas prices, offset the impact of weaker downstream conditions in the second quarter 2008. Shell is making substantial, targeted investments to grow the company for shareholders and help ensure that energy markets remain well supplied. Spending is increasing on new acreage and selective acquisitions as we refresh the portfolio with new options for future growth. Our strategy is on track."
Jeroen van der Veer, Chief Executive
