Spring 2008 Issue

April 19, 2008, was a great day for Shell employees and their families. Greg A. Smith, GOM Regional Manager, wanted an employee recognition day that the whole family could enjoy and decided that the perfect place for this event was the New Orleans Audubon Zoo. It was also a great opportunity for Shell to contribute in revitalizing the zoo, since it was devastated by Hurricane Katrina.

Audubon Zoo sustained significant wind damage from the hurricane. However, all zoo animals survived, except for two river otters and one bird. The five sea lions were evacuated to Moody Gardens in Galveston, Texas, so they could receive proper care while the organization operated with limited funding and staff resources. On May 30, 2006, the Zoo schedule expanded to six days a week, Tuesday through Sunday (in conjunction with the Audubon Aquarium of the Americas re-opening and its operating schedule).

LIONS & TIGERS & BEARS…OH MY! SHELL ZOO DAY

The Zoo staged its annual events beloved by area residents (Earth Fest, Mother’s Day, Soul Fest, Boo at the Zoo and the Louisiana Swamp Fest) and was approached by community partners to serve as a venue for fund-raising concerts. The 2006 Louisiana Swamp Fest attracted 16,000 visitors and the 2007 Nature Festival attracted 16,777 visitors. The 2008 festival will be held November 1 – 2. Plans are underway for the Zoo’s fifth annual “Noon Year’s Eve” event held in partnership with Radio Disney. Clearly, things are getting back to normal at the Audubon Zoo, largely in part to organizations, like Shell, who contribute to its growth and use its resources.

The YMCA staff conducted an assessment on each employee based on results of the tests performed. The assessment included:

Approximately 400 Shell employees and their families attended this employee recognition day at the Audubon Zoo. “The weather was great and the families really enjoyed this day,” said Tina Brignac, Event Coordinator. Upon arrival, a Shell Pipeline Family Day T-shirt was given out to everyone at the event. Another special group was also awarded the same t-shirts—the monkeys! “The kids were so surprised that the monkeys had on the same shirt that they were wearing,” continued Brignac.

The Shell Zoo Day was complete with a picnic atmosphere with all the trimmings — hot dogs, hamburgers, chili, chips, baked beans and potato salad. A snowball stand was even set up and provided a refreshing snack for all attendees throughout the day. A face painter entertained the children, who were also able to ride a carousel and could spend as long as they wanted in the park. A space walk was set up, and kids were seen jumping the entire day—from 10am to 3pm. By far, the best part of the day for everyone was the all-you-can-eat ice cream!

“The highlight of this event was definitely seeing the kids’ faces light up. Even the adults enjoyed the day of sunshine and great food,” said Brignac.

LIONS & TIGERS & BEARS…OH MY! SHELL ZOO DAY (cont.)

Did you know cardiovascular diseases, including stroke, are our nation’s No. 1 killer? To urge Americans to join the battle against these diseases, since 1963, Congress has required the president to proclaim February “American Heart Month.” During American Heart Month, the American Heart Association raises funds for research and education and passes along information about heart disease and stroke.

In the spirit of American Heart Month, the South Capline Area St. James employees participated in a Health and Fitness Fair conducted by the A. C. Lewis YMCA staff on February 26, 2008. Bill Osterhout, Area Operations Supervisor, presented the idea to Bob Hill, Capline Area Manager. Bill, along with Leonard Thomas, Capline Safety Representative, coordinated the event with the YMCA staff. Approximately 30 employees attended the event and enjoyed the day participating in the health assessment. “Everyone thought that it was a great idea to start the year with a health assessment in order to set goals for a healthier lifestyle in the future,” said Debbie LeBlanc, office assistant, St.James.

SPLC Hosts an Evening of Public Awareness and Outreach

On April 16, 2008, SPLC in Houma, LA held a Community Open House to educate its neighbors about the facility, pipeline safety awareness and to give just a general overview of SPLC’s operations.

Emergency responders, elected officials, neighboring businesses and residents were invited to come out and learn about the Shell Pipeline facility.

A one-hour presentation was given on pipeline awareness and

safety, and guests were treated to a fried seafood dinner. There were also prize giveaways such as Shell gas cards.

“The open house was very successful. Terrebonne Parish President Michel Claudet, councilmen, coast guard, state police and surrounding businesses and residents came out to learn more about who we are, what we do and how to protect our infrastructure at Shell Pipeline,” said Ed Landgraf, SPLC Gulf of Mexico Public Awareness Coordinator.

Carson Terminal Firefighter Training

Southern California Shell Pipelines’ Carson Terminal recently provided six different firefighter-training sessions during the month of February. Over 150 firefighters from all over Los Angeles County were trained on the Ethanol loading process at the Carson Terminal. Regardless of company affiliation, Carson supplies over 70 percent of Ethanol for the entire Los Angeles basin. The firefighters that participated in the training had the opportunity to encounter Ethanol via rail cars and tanker trucks owned by a third party, as well as pipelines and tanks owned by Shell. Lunch and a tour of the Carson Ethanol Rack were also included.

“I was surprised to see that many of the firefighters had minimal knowledge of the Carson Terminal and thought the terminal was still a refinery,” said Teri Wohlgemuth, Operations Coordinator. For more information, contact Teri at teri.wohlgemuth@shell.com.

FORE…PAR…BIRDIE…BOGEY! Shell Participates in the Louisiana Minority Business Council’s 4th Annual Golf Tournament

(l to r) Darwin Lyons- Chemical POD Manager, Donnavan Swaby- GOM Procurement Manager, Terry Becnel- Metro Marketing Representative, Donald Smith- Public Awareness Manager

On April 2, 2008, 15 Shell employees participated in the Louisiana Minority Business Council’s (LAMBC) 4th Annual Golf Tournament. The event was held in New Orleans, LA, at the Audubon Park Executive Golf Course.

LAMBC serves the state of Louisiana as one of 39 regional minority-purchasing councils affiliated with the National Minority Supplier Development Council. “The LAMBC Golf Tournament helps to fund the organization’s operating costs. This network serves to promote procurement opportunities among the council’s minority suppliers, and nurtures relationships between buyers and sellers who increase the number of minority firms actively engaged in corporate supply chains,” said Donald R. Smith, GOM Public Awareness Manager. In addition, the LAMBC Golf Tournament supports the council’s aggressive outreach programs, which helps to identify and certify minority suppliers, as well as acquaint them with representatives of the corporate purchasing community.

Shell Pipeline served as the Title Sponsor for the LAMBC Golf Tournament, with many other companies supporting their efforts, such as Chevron, Entergy, Exxon Mobil, Halliburton, BP America, Bell South and Conoco Phillips. “This was a great time and opportunity to network and interface with our fellow companies in the area. Being the Title Sponsor meant we needed many volunteers to help with this tournament,” continued Smith. The volunteers from Shell Pipeline participated in everything

from assisting the registration desk and performing lunch duty, to stuffing party bags and driving the snack and drink carts around.

Donnavan Swaby, GOM Procurement Manager said, “Shell’s sponsorship of the LAMBC Golf Tournament is

proof of our company’s commitment to diversity and inclusiveness; not just within the company but in its supplier base as well. This event provides a unique opportunity to network with a broad spectrum of suppliers and lay foundations upon which future

strategic relationships can grow. Through participation in events such as these, Shell facilitates the growth of companies that are an integral part of the communities where we live and operate.”

Along with the golf tournament, there was a crawfish boil and barbeque that allowed many different minority vendors to network with several companies. Grand prizes of Shell gas cards were also given out to the winning golf teams.

When asked if there was a memorable moment that occurred during this event,

Smith replied, “Donnavan Swaby was given the nickname of ‘Plywood’, Tiger Wood’s little brother!”

Proceeds from this event contribute t o t h e L o u i s i a n a E c o n o m i c Opportunity Conference and Expo, which allow maximum opportunities for networking, discussion and face-to-face exchanges between corporate buyers and minority business entrepreneurs. For more information on how to participate in next year’s tournament, contact Donald R. Smith at donald.r.smith@shell.com.

Shell Delivers Pipeline Damage Prevention message to World’s Farmersat the 41st Annual World Ag Expo

The Farm Show began in 1968, and was held at the Tulare County Fairgrounds in Tulare, California. When the three day run of the first show was complete, this new show proved to be successful, especially after exhibitors were lining up to sign contracts for the second show in 1969, before the first one had even ended. The first show attracted 157 exhibitors with 28,000 attendees. By the second year, the show doubled in both attendees and exhibitors and continued the rapid growth throughout the future years. Known as the World Ag Expo since 2001, today, the Expo is host to over 100,000 attendees, 1,200 volunteers and 1,600 exhibitors.

The Expo was host to an array of free dairy, irrigation and ag-related seminars covering timely issues and challenges facing the agriculture sector. Show-goers from across the nation traveled to the Expo and there was an impressive showing of international guests from 74 countries as well.

Shell hosted approximately 2,000 guests to the booth where Shell trinkets and excavator brochures displaying the emergency and “Call Before You Dig” phone numbers were offered. For more information about this event, please visit the Web site at www.worldagexpo.com.

On February 12-14, 2008, five employees from Shell’s Western Region—Dan Coburn - Public Awareness Rep, Karin Johnson - Operations Support Rep, Gary McNatt - Operations Support Rep, Victor Garcia - Team Leader and Ron Oppelt -Maintenance Foreman participated in the 41st Annual World Ag Expo in Tulare, California. Shell’s participation involved hosting an exhibit booth to promote awareness of underground pipelines near farming operations and the systems to prevent damage to pipelines. The Shell employees informed participants about Pipeline Safety Awareness and educated farmers about the “One Call” number that must be called before beginning any excavation or soil disturbing activities.

Ritchie recently participated in the Shell Eco-Marathon of the Americas that was held at the California Motor Speedway in Fontana, CA. The event was from April 8-12, 2008, and was for high school and college students. Their mission was to build a “car” (motorized tricycle with an aerodynamic, light-weight outer shell) and see who could achieve the highest fuel mileage. The teams were given a small amount of fuel and then had to complete the required laps around the track. Once finished, their fuel consumption was checked. A high school from Indiana won first place with almost 2,900 miles per gallon (MPG). The European Eco-Marathon had a team that set a new world economy record with an average fuel consumption of 10,705 MPG. Ritchie’s duties for this event included site prep, directing attendees to the registration tent and traffic direction. “One of the things I enjoyed most about this event was not only meeting the students but also meeting other Shell employees working in all aspects of the business throughout North America.”

Ritchie Labat is the Line Integrity Technician for Shell Pipeline in the Gulf of Mexico Region. He has been with Shell for almost 16 years, and 14 of those years were spent working with the Louisiana Offshore Oil Port (LOOP), LLC. Ritchie has been

SPLC Participates In MS Bike Tour

With the common goal to end MS… NOW… the 2008 BP MS150 Bike Tour from Houston to Austin was a success with the support of 340 Team Shell riders.

Each rider was challenged to raise a minimum of $700 to successfully exceed the team’s fundraising goal of $225,000! A big ‘THANK YOU’ goes out to Shell Pipeline for your monetary contributions at all levels towards this effort. As a global organization, we are committed to being a good neighbor by participating in activities that help with the challenges that face our communities.

Multiple sclerosis is a disabling disease that attacks the central nervous system with common body symptoms that include but are not limited to tingling, numbness, blindness and paralysis. This heartbreaking disease impacts the lives of many in our Shell Pipeline family such as our brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles and neighbors, among others.

Although the cyclists endured a very windy two-day ride among other road challenges, the support from fellow Shell Pipeline employees was key towards everyone meeting and exceeding their goals.

Overall, the following Shell Pipeline riders raised an average of $8,200: Mark Baker, Sharon Bevers, Katlin Ashley, Kelly White, Michael J. Coyne, Russell Duplechain, Bill Garrison, Ken Stoll, Bryan Arnold, Andy Du and Maria Thomas.

Fellow riders, whether you rode for a loved one affected by MS, a hobby, a

Shell Pipeline brings Delta National Wildlife Refuge to life through interactive CD-ROM

Exploration of Delta National Wildlife Refuge (DNWR) will now be possible through a newly-released interactive educational CD-ROM.

The CD was debuted and distributed free of charge at an open house at the main branch of the Plaquemines Parish Library on Thursday, May 15, 2008. The CD was produced by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and the Friends of Louisiana Wildlife Refuges, and made possible by a grant from Shell Pipeline Company, LP.

“During a consultation with the USFWS, it became apparent

of their desire and need for quality educational materials that could be distributed to the general

public. The Service felt that public awareness and knowledge of the

environmental significance of the DNWR is critical for the

Delta’s future. Shell Pipeline requested a list of educational

tools from the USFWS that could be utilized to meet this objective. Subsequent discussions led to the selection of an Educational Interactive CD as the tool Shell would fund to assist the USFWS’s public education effort,” said Neal Stidham, Staff Engineer, Shell Pipeline HSSE.

Shell funded the CD through the Friends of Louisiana Wildlife

Refuges, a non-profit organization that provides significant

v o l u n t e e r s e r v i c e s tovar ious Louis iana

Wildlife Refuges. The CD is educational and suitable

for all ages but targeted for the 11-13 age group. In

combination with the Friends of Louisiana Wildlife Refuges,

Shell’s funding provided for

the development and production of 5,000 copies of the CD for free distribution.

The multi-level interactive CD-ROM catalogs the rich flora and fauna of

this remote wildlife refuge, located near the mouth of the Mississippi River. It explores the natural processes of delta formation on the Mississippi River and the importance of delta wetlands in protecting Louisiana from storm surges, all with lively graphics. It features interviews with Service scientists who discuss their careers in studying and protecting these resources and with local residents who

visit and enjoy the refuge.

Delta National Wildlife Refuge was established in 1935, to preserve

habitat especia l ly important for migrating waterfowl. Thousands of ducks and geese winter here at the southern end of the Mississippi Flyway. The refuge’s remote location, with no road access, makes it difficult for many people to visit. The CD features video footage and still photography of the refuge from the air and from the many waterways that lace the 49,000 acre wetland. The refuge

includes parts of the active delta of the Mississippi River, where new marshland is being created as river silt is deposited. The refuge’s crevasse program aids this process by creating new channels for river water and silt to reach open bays and create land.

Copies of the CD are available to the public, free of charge. Contact Byron Fortier of USFWS at 985-822-2000.

Shell Pipeline Helps Bring Los Angeles One Tree Closer to One Million

The Shell Foundation is helping make Los Angeles a little greener by contributing to the Los Angeles Million Tree Initiative. A total of $500,000 was given to the city of Los Angeles, the Los Angeles Conservation Corps and North East Trees to help support this environmental program.

“Shell not only made a donation to support this program but we also got our hands dirty and participated in a great day of tree planting as well,” said Alison Chassin, External Affairs Manager, US Western Region Downstream.

On May 10, 2008, 15 Shell Pipeline Supply and Distribution and Retail employees and their families joined in the Wilmington tree-planting event on Lomita Avenue as part of the Million Trees LA initiative. Million Trees LA is a cooperative effort between the City of Los Angeles, community groups, businesses, and individuals working together to plant and provide long-term stewardship of one million trees planted where they are needed most.

Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa launched the initiative and plans to complete the planting of one million trees over the next several years. The trees will provide shade and save on energy costs, clean the air and help reduce the greenhouse gases that cause global warming, capture polluted urban runoff, improve water quality and add beauty to neighborhoods. This approach puts focus on the natural processes that can reduce pollution and transform Los Angeles into a sustainable, green city.

Partnering in this project are the Los Angeles Conservation Corps and North East Trees. The Los Angeles Conservation Corps provides at-risk young adults and school-aged youth with opportunities for success through job skills training, education and work experience with an emphasis on conservation and service projects that benefit the community. This year marks their 20th anniversary.

North East Trees is a nonprofit environmental and youth education organization with a mission “to restore nature’s services to improve the quality of life in resource-challenged communities.” Founded nearly 20 years ago, North East Trees has planted over 30,000 trees, created over 35 parks and other landscape improvements including habitat restoration along the Los Angeles River and across Los Angeles County and engaged, trained and employed thousands of local youth to achieve this mission.

Shell Pipeline will partake in several more Million Tree planting events around Los Angeles throughout the year.

For more information on any of these programs, please visit www.milliontreesla.org, www.lacorps.org or www.northeasttrees.org.

Shell Pipeline Participates in ICAF Industry Studies Program

(l to r) Dan Rolstad, Brent Byrd, Chuck Harris, Peyton Ross, Jill Derise, Carrie Hodgins. Not Pictured: Robbie

Ralph, John Hayward, James Simmons, Jim Bertus

On Wednesday, April 9, 2008, the Industrial College of the Armed Forces (ICAF) toured the SPLC facilities in Houston as part of their Industry Studies program. The students were given a SPLC overview, and several speakers gave presentations about pipeline engineering, asset

integrity, security, and the differences between common carrier and joint interest pipelines. They

closed out the day with a tour and explanation of Control Center operations.

Presenters included Peyton Ross, Manager Asset Integrity; Dan Rolstad, Senior Staff Engineer, Onshore Engineering; Brent Byrd, Integrity Engineer, Asset Integrity; Carrie Hodgins, Response Plans/Special Projects Coordinator, HSSE; Robbie Ralph, Economic Regulatory and Tariff Director, Commercial Development; and Control Center Manager Jill Derise.

This is the 2nd year that SPLC has provided a presentation and tour for the ICAF students. This is an activity that provides for valuable information sharing and promotes a positive public image of Shell pipeline, as well as the pipeline industry in general.

ICAF is part of the National Defense University. It is the premier Department of Defense joint education institution for national security resource management and strategy. ICAF students, specially selected by their branch of the military, government agency, or company as highly promising career professionals, hold the ranks of Colonel/Captain, Lieutenant Colonel/Commander or the civilian equivalent. The student body is comprised of 314 experienced operators, resource and technical managers, international fellows and industry fellows.

ICAF’s mission is to prepare selected military and civilians for senior leadership positions by conducting postgraduate, executive level

courses of study and associated research dealing with the resource component of national power. Special emphasis is placed on material acquisition and joint logistics and their integration into the national security strategy for peace and war.

The Industry Studies program of the ICAF examines the resource component of National Security. The students are organized into 20 Industry Studies seminars that analyze and evaluate defense-essential industrial sectors and assess their ability to satisfy national security requirements in peace and conflict.

“Shell Pipeline has received great feed back from ICAF and we look forward to being a stop on their industry tour again in the future,” said Byrd.
