Security in Nigeria remains a significant challenge. Excluding the impact of the security situation in Nigeria, divestments, production sharing contracts (PSC) pricing effects and OPEC quota restrictions, production was broadly similar to the same quarter last year.

— Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) sales volumes of 2.89 million tonnes were 6% lower than in the same quarter a year ago. Excluding the impact of the security situation in Nigeria, LNG sales volumes were 7% higher than in the same quarter last year.

— Oil Products marketing sales volumes were 4% lower than in the second quarter 2008. Excluding the impact of divestments, marketing sales volumes decreased by 3%. Chemical product sales volumes in the second quarter 2009 decreased by 17% compared to the second quarter 2008.

— Oil Products refinery availability was 95% compared with 92% in the second quarter 2008. Chemicals manufacturing plant availability was 88%, 7% lower than in the second quarter 2008. Oil Sands upgrader availability was 88% compared to 96% in the same quarter last year.

Earnings By Business Segment:

Second quarter Exploration & Production segment earnings were $1,334 million compared to $5,881 million a year ago. Earnings included a net charge of $109 million related to identified items, compared to a net gain of $98 million in the second quarter 2008.

Earnings compared to the second quarter 2008 reflected the impact of significantly lower oil and gas prices on revenues, lower oil and gas production volumes, higher exploration expenses and non-cash pension charges, which were partly offset by lower royalty and tax expenses.

Although oil prices increased during the quarter, realized natural gas prices remained at low levels mainly due to contractual lag effects. European gas demand declined in the second quarter 2009, impacting natural gas production compared to the second quarter 2008.

Global liquids realizations were 53% lower than in the second quarter 2008. Global gas realizations were 47% lower than a year ago. Outside the USA, gas realizations decreased by 39% whereas in the USA gas realizations decreased by 68%.

Second quarter 2009 production (excluding oil sands bitumen production) was 2,882 thousand boe/d compared to 3,054 thousand boe/d a year ago. Crude oil production was down 8% and natural gas production was down 2% compared to the second quarter 2008.

In Nigeria, the security situation remains a significant challenge. As a consequence, The Shell Petroleum Development Company of Nigeria Ltd’s (SPDC) onshore and shallow water oil and gas production declined from some 210 thousand boe/d (Shell share) in the second quarter 2008 to about 120 thousand boe/d (Shell share) in the second quarter 2009.

Underlying production, compared to the second quarter 2008, increased by some 210 thousand boe/d from new field start-ups and the continuing ramp-up of fields over the last 12 months, more than offsetting field declines.

Second quarter portfolio developments

During the first half of 2009, Shell made 6 notable discoveries in the US Gulf of Mexico, Australia, Malaysia and Norway. Shell also increased its overall acreage position through acquisitions of new exploration licences in Guyana, Italy, Brazil, USA, Norway, Egypt and Jordan.

In Brazil, on July 13, 2009, production started from the multi-field Parque das Conchas (BC-10) project (Shell share 50%). Production wells, which are some 2 kilometers deep, are linked to a Floating Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessel with a capacity to process 100 thousand barrels of oil and 50 million cubic feet of natural gas a day (100% basis).

Second quarter Gas & Power segment earnings were $705 million compared to $625 million a year ago. Earnings included a charge of $6 million related to identified items, compared a charge of $300 million in the second quarter 2008.

Earnings compared to the second quarter 2008 mainly reflected lower LNG earnings, reduced gas-to liquids product prices and non-cash pension charges, which were offset by higher natural gas and power trading contributions.

LNG earnings were lower than in the same quarter last year reflecting the significant impact of lower oil prices on revenues and lower LNG sales volumes. These were partly offset by increased contributions from the North West Shelf (Train 5) and Sakhalin II LNG projects, higher income from LNG cargo diversion opportunities and the benefit of recent sales contract renegotiation.

LNG sales volumes of 2.89 million tonnes were 6% lower than in the same quarter a year ago. Volumes reflected lower contributions from Nigeria LNG due to continued natural gas supply disruptions and reduced Asia Pacific LNG demand, which were partly offset by the ramp-up in sales volumes from Train 5, at the North West Shelf project, and the Sakhalin II LNG project. Excluding the impact of the security situation in Nigeria, LNG sales volumes were 7% higher than the same quarter last year.

Natural gas and power marketing and trading earnings were higher than in the same quarter a year ago, reflecting increased contributions from both Europe and North America.

OIL SANDS:

Second quarter Oil Sands segment earnings were $50 million compared to $351 million in the same quarter last year.

Earnings compared to the second quarter 2008 mainly reflected the impact of significantly lower oil prices on revenues and non-cash pension charges.

Bitumen production compared to the same quarter last year increased by 8%. Upgrader availability was 88% compared to 96% in the same quarter last year.

OIL PRODUCTS:

Second quarter Oil Products segment earnings were $1,163 million compared to $4,539 million for the same period last year.

Second quarter Oil Products CCS segment results were a loss of $255 million compared to earnings of $1,075 million in the second quarter 2008. Results included a charge of $611 million related to identified items, compared to a net charge of $269 million in the second quarter 2008

CCS earnings compared to the second quarter 2008 reflected significantly lower refining earnings and non-cash pension charges, which were partly offset by higher marketing contributions.

Marketing earnings increased compared to the same period a year ago reflecting higher retail, B2B and lubricants earnings and improved trading contributions.

Oil Products (marketing and trading) sales volumes decreased by 7% compared to the same quarter last year mainly as a result of reduced global demand. Marketing sales volumes were 4% lower than in the second quarter 2008.

Excluding the impact of divestments, marketing sales volumes decreased by 3%. Industry refining margins declined worldwide compared to the same period
