Johannesburg - Reports that oil and gas multinational Shell is reviewing its plans for fracking outside the Americas could be a "Trojan horse", the Treasure Karoo Action Group (TKAG) said on Tuesday.
"Shell is a seasoned campaigner and what may at first blush appear to be a withdrawal from Karoo shale gas, may just be a Trojan horse," TKAG head Jonathan Deal said in a statement.
Business Day reported on Tuesday that Royal Dutch Shell had "critically reviewed the competitiveness" of its projects and plans internationally, including those relating to fracking.
