Shell will pay the US government nearly $2.3 million to resolve claims that several of its affiliates underpaid royalties due on natural gas produced on federal leases, the Interior Department has announced.

Shell: The settlement comes from a lawsuit filed by a whistleblower whose estate will get a portion of the payout.
