On message - Shell management can't/won't make a decision to do anything, which is shocking since there is so little recourse for failure in upper management. I remember an early training class in Shell made a big deal out of "Not making a decision is a decision" - apparently nobody in management attended that class. Don't knock the Explorers - the worker bees generally were pretty darn good at coming up with ideas that were never drilled. Instead, the higher kiss ups (or worse) rose to the top and bashed any new play concept and instead just kept drilling the same failing plays.
