storage tank carrying the date - 1898.

Beginnings

Marcus Samuel, founder of the Shell Transport and Trading Company

Almost 200 years ago, a London antique dealer began importing sea shells from the Far
East to supply a fashion for exotic décor.

Marcus Samuel’s enterprise laid the foundations for a thriving import-export business
later run by his sons, Marcus Junior and Sam.

At this time oil was largely used in lighting and lubricants and the industry was based in
Baku, Russia, with its large reserves of high quality oil and strategic natural harbour.

Revolutionising oil transport

The arrival of the internal combustion engine in 1886 led to a surge in demand for
transport fuel. Building on their shipping expertise, the Samuel brothers commissioned a
fleet of steamers to carry oil in bulk. They revolutionised oil transport with the maiden
voyage of their first tanker, Murex. In 1892, Murex was the first ever tanker to transit the
Suez Canal. The brothers’ company was named the Shell Transport and Trading
Company in 1897. It used a mussel shell as its logo.

Becoming Royal Dutch Shell

Shell Transport’s activities in the East, combined with a search for new sources of oil to
reduce dependence on Russia, brought it into contact with Royal Dutch Petrolem. The
two companies joined forces in 1903 to protect themselves against the dominance of
Standard Oil. They fully merged into the Royal Dutch Shell Group in 1907.

Shell changed its logo to the scallop shell, or pecten, which is used today. By the end of
the 1920s Shell was the world’s leading oil company, producing 11% of the world’s
crude and owning 10% of its tanker tonnage. The 1930s were difficult: the group’s assets
in Mexico were seized and it was forced to concede generous terms to the Venezuelan
government when it nationalised its oil fields.

Post-war expansion

After the Second World War, as peace brought a boom in car use, Shell expanded into
Africa and South America. Shipping became larger and better powered. In 1947 Shell
drilled the first commercially viable offshore oil well in the Gulf of Mexico. By 1955
Shell had 300 wells. In 1958 Shell began production in Nigeria.

The oil crisis

In 1969, Ghaddafi took power in Libya, cutting oil production and raising prices. Other
producers threatened to do the same and the Yom Kippur war of 1973 brought the crisis
to a head. Within weeks OPEC countries quadrupled the oil price and imposed a boycott
for two months. The effect on the West was economically catastrophic.

Tapping new resources

The 1970s were notable for Shell’s development of the oil fields in the North Sea and
South America - difficult and expensive to do, but crucial given the reduced supplies
from the Middle East. In 1978 Shell completed the Cognac drilling and production
platform in the Gulf of Mexico, the world’s tallest platform at 1,100 feet.

Expansion

From the mid-1990s public scrutiny of the oil industry intensified as environmental issues
gained prominence. Shell was criticised over plans to dispose of the Brent Spar platform
and also ran into difficulties in Nigeria. As the new millennium got under way, Shell
expanded in China and Russia. In 2005 Shell dissolved its old corporate structure to
create a single new company. Shell remains one of the world’s major oil and gas
companies. We have interests in liquefied natural gas and gas to liquids products; we help
develop sustainable biofuels; and we are involved in wind projects.
he word “Shell” first appeared in 1891 as the trademark for the kerosene that Marcus
Samuel and Company shipped to the Far East. The small London business dealt
originally in antiques and oriental seashells.

In 1897 Samuel formed The Shell Transport and Trading Company. The first logo in
1901 was a mussel shell. In 1904 a scallop shell, or Pecten, gave a visual element to the
corporate and brand name.

Why the Pecten?

The company name was “Shell” and each of Samuel’s tankers carrying kerosene to the
Far East was named after a different seashell.

The Pecten may have been taken from the family coat of arms of a business associate, Mr
Graham, who imported Samuel’s kerosene into India and became a director of The Shell
Transport and Trading Company. Following a pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela in
Spain the Graham family had adopted the St James’s Shell.

Over the years the form of the Shell emblem has changed gradually in line with trends in
graphic design. Designer Raymond Loewy created and introduced the current emblem in
1971.

Why red and yellow?

In 1915 the Shell Company of California first built service stations and had to make these
stand out from the competition. They used bright colours that would not offend the
Californians: because of the state’s strong Spanish connections they chose red and
yellow.

The actual colours have developed over the years, most notably in 1995 when a bright,
consumer-friendly Shell Red and Shell Yellow were introduced to launch our new retail
visual identity. The Pecten remains one of the greatest brand symbols in the 21st century.
