MOSCOW (MRC) -- Royal Dutch Shell has
promoted its current Australia chief, Zoe Yujnovich, to the role of executive
vice president for conventional oil and gas from Jan. 1, based in the group’s
headquarters in The Hague, reported Reuters
with reference to Shell Australia's statement.
In her new role,
Yujnovich will report to Shell’s upstream director and be responsible for
delivering growth across 18 countries, including Kazakhstan, Nigeria, Oman, the
UK and Iraq.
Yujnovich, an Australian, joined Shell in Canada in 2014
from the mining industry and since February 2017 has run its Australian
business, which accounts for about a quarter of the group’s invested
capital.
She oversaw the completion of Shell’s first floating liquefied
natural gas (LNG) project, Prelude, which finally shipped its first LNG cargo in
June this year after overcoming a number of start-up problems.
The
current head of eastern Australian operations, Tony Nunan, has been promoted to
succeed Yujnovich as country chair for Australia, Shell Australia
said.
"(Australia) is integral to our global strategy to lead in LNG and
move into power to provide more and cleaner energy ... in the decades ahead,"
Yujnovich said in a statement.
As MRC informed before,
operations were stable on 13 September at Royal Dutch Shell Plc’s 340,000
barrel-per-day (bpd) joint-venture refinery in Deer Park, Texas, after the upper
Houston Ship Channel was closed by protesters from Greenpeace USA. The Deer Park
refinery is a 50-50 joint-venture between Shell and Mexico’s national oil
company Petroleos Mexicanos (Pemex). Shell is the managing partner of the
joint-venture. Shell has three crackers at Deer Park site with a combined
ethylene capacity of 1,67 mln per year and petrochemical plants.
Ethylene
and propylene are feedstocks for producing polyethylene (PE) and polyprolypele
(PP).
According to MRC's ScanPlast report,
Russia's estimated PE consumption totalled 1,255,800 tonnes in the first seven
months of 2019, up by 9% year on year. Shipments of all PE grades increased. At
the same time, the estimated PP consumption in the Russian market was 796,120
tonnes in January-July 2019, up by 11% year on year. Shipments of PP block
copolymer and homopolymer PP increased.
