SEC lets Shell add Qatar gas to proven reserves

LONDON, Feb. 1 (Reuters) - Royal Dutch Shell (RDSa.L: Quote, Profile , Research) said on Thursday it had received regulatory clearance to add gas from a multibillion-dollar project in Qatar to its proven reserves, a boost to the company's efforts to rebuild its holdings.

It has been unclear since 2004 if the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission would allow Shell to include as proven the reserves from Pearl, its so-called gas to liquids (GTL) venture in Qatar to convert gas into fuels.

"The SEC has given approval to book GTL on a proven reserve basis," Shell spokesman Andy Corrigan said.

Shell rattled investors in 2004 by saying it had overstated the size of its proven reserves for years and in the same year said resources at Pearl may not count as proven under SEC rules.
