Major interests of Shell
Shell has a 10-year right to drill for oil in the Arctic Ocean. So far, the company has invested $4 billion.

The only reactions from Shell are along the lines of “Hi Rockhard – We're glad you like our product! You can learn more about Shell V-Power Nitro+”. And otherwise a complete radio silence regarding the oil drilling in the North Pole.
