Royal Dutch Shell has rallied 25% since March as supply concerns lift oil prices close to $100 a barrel, but non-executive director Christine Morin-Postel clearly thinks there's more to come.

The French national picked up 2,725 'A' shares in the oil major at €29.20 each, costing her €79,570, or around £55,500. She now owns 8,485 shares.

Morin-Postel was a member of the Royal Dutch supervisory board from July 2004 and was a board member of Royal Dutch until the merger of the company in December 2005.

She was also executive vice-president and member of the executive committee of French utility Suez.
