 Shell plans to invest $30bn in Australia projects May 27, 2013 - 11:59 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Royal Dutch Shell (RDSa.L) plans to invest $30 billion in Australia over the next five years, the firm's outgoing chief executive Peter Voser said in a speech at an industry conference on Monday, May 27, according to Reuters.
