Nomura Securities maintains a 'Buy' on Royal Dutch Shell (NYSE: RDS-B).

Analyst, Theepan Jothilingam, said, "US Interior Secretary Ken Salazar’s comments suggesting forthcoming approval for Arctic drilling, takes Shell a step closer to drilling offshore Alaska this summer. Having invested some USD4bn before a single well has been drilled and waited five years to start operations, we believe Shell is looking for a material, liquids discovery in the largely undrilled Arctic. Using BOEM resource estimates we think a prize of 2-3bn bbls is not unreasonable, which could be worth some USD10bn net to Shell."
