Anglo Dutch Shell Group Employee Management, Royal Dutch Shell Organisational Overview

Royal Dutch Shell Petroleum Company was formed by the merger of two companies, Royal Dutch Petroleum and Shell in the United Kingdom. Royal Dutch Petroleum was founded in 1890 with a special authorization from the Queen of the Netherlands, hence the name Royal Dutch Shell Petroleum Company. In order to compete with the largest oil company at the time, Standard Oil of the United States, Royal Dutch Petroleum merged with the British Shell Transport ****** in 1907.

Shell is one of the so-called Seven Sisters and remains a serious competitor in the oil, energy, chemicals and solar sectors. Shell has five core businesses: Exploration and Production, Gas & Power, Coal Gasification, Chemicals and Renewables. Shell has subsidiaries or operations in more than 140 countries and territories around the world.

Shell's corporate structure is unique: its subsidiaries around the world are jointly managed by Royal Dutch Petroleum Corporation, headquartered in the Netherlands, and Shell Transport & **, headquartered in the United Kingdom, with Royal Dutch holding 60% and Shell holding 40% in the UK. Others are joint ventures between Shell and other companies.

Royal Dutch Shell Group's largest shareholder is the Dutch royal family's investment company.

It was formed in 1907 by the union of the Royal Dutch Petroleum Company (founded in 1890) and the British Shell Transport and ** Company (founded in 1897), with 60% and 40% of the shares respectively. The parent companies of the two gods are Shell of the Netherlands and Shell of the United Kingdom, which manage the service companies and operating companies. Among them, the service company provides consulting, advice and services to the headquarters and related operating companies, such as Shell International Oil Company, Shell International Chemical Company, Bileyton International Metals Company and Shell International Research Company in the Netherlands, and Shell International Petroleum Company, Shell International Chemical Company, Shell International Coal Company, Shell International Gas Company, Shell International Shipping Company, etc. in the United Kingdom. There are more than 200 operating companies in more than 100 countries in North America, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, the Far East, Oceania and other regions.

Shell's total revenue ranks third in the world after General Motors and Exxon. The main business scope is oil and gas exploration and development, petroleum refining, petrochemical industry, and oil and chemical storage, transportation and sales. In 1983, oil and gas production accounted for 8% of the total output of capitalist countries, and there were more than 60 refinery and chemical plants around the world, with a refining capacity of 200 mt, producing more than 3,000 kinds of petrochemical products, including olefins, aromatics, solvents, detergents, pesticides, plastics, resins, synthetic rubber, etc., in addition to producing and operating coal, metals and a small amount of nuclear energy.

The Anglo-Dutch Shell Group, referred to as Shell, was formed in 1907 with the merger of the shares of Shell Transport and ****** (UK) and Royal Dutch Petroleum Company. Since then, the group has grown to become one of the world's leading international oil companies, operating in around 130 countries and employing around 100,000 people. It can be called the world's leading international oil and gas group by the standard of many people.

Shell has been operating in China for more than 100 years.

In the early 90s of the 19th century, the brothers Marco and Sam Sammer, the founders of the Shell Transport ******, began to import kerosene into China and set up oil depots in Hong Kong, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Xiamen.

By 1894, the Sammer brothers had transported kerosene to Shanghai in bulk tankers. In the same year, Royal Dutch Petroleum began to import Crown kerosene to China. (At that time, the mainland called the brand of this crown a monk's hat brand; In Hong Kong, it is called Bao Gai).

Shell Transport ****** was a competitor to the Dutch Royal Dutch Petroleum Company. In 1903, the two companies partnered to operate in the Far East, establishing the Asia Oil Company in London.

The Asia Oil Company established offices in Hong Kong in 1906 and Shanghai in 1908. In 1913, the two offices became the head offices of Asia Oil Oil (South China) **** and Asia Oil Oil (North China) **** respectively.

In 1907, Royal Dutch and Shell Transport merged to form the Royal Dutch Shell Group. However, at that time, the company's business in China was still operated under the name of Asia Petroleum Company.

By the time of World War II, Shell had more than 50 subsidiaries in China and operated 1,000 dealerships in about 20 provinces. During the war, all the equipment was occupied by the Japanese army, and it was seriously damaged, and all business activities came to a halt.

After the war, the rebuilding of Shell proceeded rapidly. By the time the People's Republic of China was founded in 1949, Shell employed more than 1,000 people, including 35 expatriate staff and four Chinese managers.

After 1950, Shell continued to grow in China and became the only Western oil company to remain in China at the time. Shell's head office in Shanghai was allowed to remain until 1966, when it was closed.

At the same time, Shell's petroleum and chemical products business in Hong Kong has maintained its leading position.

Shell was invited to participate in the Guangzhou Trade Fair. In 1980, Shell established an office in Beijing to actively develop chemical products**. In 1983, Shell partnered with Exxon Petroleum and then Phillips to begin oil exploration in the South China Sea.

Following the implementation of China's opening-up policy, Shell set up two joint venture oil depots in the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone in 1985 and 1987. Since then, Shell has been more aggressive in investing in China and has now developed a wide range of operations in several provinces and cities.
