Shell edged up in London trading Friday, ending the session at 2,774.50 pence—about a 0.2% gain—on volume of nearly 8.1 million shares. CEO Wael Sawan told investors the company will halt new investments in Kazakhstan for now, citing drawn-out legal fights over soaring project costs. Kazakhstan is seeking arbitration over what it claims are $13 billion in disputed Kashagan costs and another $3.5 billion at Karachaganak. Sources speaking to Reuters put a possible Karachaganak arbitration award between $2 billion and $4 billion.
