“Royal Dutch Shell” are sometimes used for convenience where references are made
to Royal Dutch Shell plc and its subsidiaries in general. Likewise, the words
“we”, “us” and “our” are also used to refer to subsidiaries in general or to
those who work for them. These expressions are also used where no useful purpose
is served by identifying the particular company or companies. ‘‘Subsidiaries’’,
“Shell subsidiaries” and “Shell companies” as used in this report refer to

neither control nor joint control are referred to as “associates”. In this
report joint ventures and associates may also be referred to as
“equity-accounted investments”. The term “Shell interest” is used for
convenience to indicate the direct and/or indirect (for example, through our 23%
shareholding in Woodside Petroleum Ltd.) ownership interest held by Shell in a
venture, partnership or company, after exclusion of all third-party interest.
