The companies in which Royal Dutch Shell plc directly and indirectly owns    
investments are separate entities. In this release "Shell", "Shell group" and
"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 
release refer to companies over which Royal Dutch Shell plc either directly  
or indirectly has control. Companies over which Shell has joint control are  
generally referred to as "joint ventures" and companies over which Shell has 
significant influence but neither control nor joint control are referred to  
as "associates". In this release, 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 ownership        
interest held by Shell in a venture, partnership or company, after exclusion 
of all third-party interest.                                                 
                                                                             
This release contains forward-looking statements concerning the financial    
condition, results of operations and businesses of Royal Dutch Shell. All    
statements other than statements of historical fact are, or may be deemed to 
be, forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are statements of 
future expectations that are based on management's current expectations and  
assumptions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could 
cause actual results, performance or events to differ materially from those  
expressed or implied in these statements. Forward-looking statements include,
among other things, statements concerning the potential exposure of Royal    
Dutch Shell to market risks and statements expressing management's           
expectations, beliefs, estimates, forecasts, projections and assumptions.    
These forward-looking statements are identified by their use of terms and    
phrases such as ''anticipate'', ''believe'', ''could'', ''estimate'',        
''expect'', ''goals'', ''intend'', ''may'', ''objectives'', ''outlook'',     
''plan'', ''probably'', ''project'', ''risks'', "schedule", ''seek'',        
''should'', ''target'', ''will'' and similar terms and phrases. There are a  
number of factors that could affect the future operations of Royal Dutch     
Shell and could cause those results to differ materially from those expressed
in the forward-looking statements included in this release, including        
(without limitation): (a) price fluctuations in crude oil and natural gas;   
(b) changes in demand for Shell's products; (c) currency fluctuations; (d)   
drilling and production results; (e) reserves estimates; (f) loss of market  
share and industry competition; (g) environmental and physical risks; (h)    
risks associated with the identification of suitable potential acquisition   
properties and targets, and successful negotiation and completion of such    
transactions; (i) the risk of doing business in developing countries and     
countries subject to international sanctions; (j) legislative, fiscal and    
regulatory developments including regulatory measures addressing climate     
change; (k) economic and financial market conditions in various countries and
regions; (l) political risks, including the risks of expropriation and       
renegotiation of the terms of contracts with governmental entities, delays or
advancements in the approval of projects and delays in the reimbursement for 
shared costs; and (m) changes in trading conditions. All forward-looking     
statements contained in this release are expressly qualified in their        
entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this       
section. Readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking          
statements. Additional risk factors that may affect future results are       
contained in Royal Dutch Shell's 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2014   
(available at www.shell.com/investor and www.sec.gov ). These risk factors   
also expressly qualify all forward looking statements contained in this      
release and should be considered by the reader.  Each forward-looking        
statement speaks only as of the date of this release, February 4, 2016.      
Neither Royal Dutch Shell plc nor any of its subsidiaries undertake any      
obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement as a   
result of new information, future events or other information. In light of   
these risks, results could differ materially from those stated, implied or   
inferred from the forward-looking statements contained in this release.      
                                                                             
We may have used certain terms, such as resources, in this release that      
United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) strictly prohibits us 
from including in our filings with the SEC.  U.S. Investors are urged to     
consider closely the disclosure in our Form 20-F, File No 1-32575, available
