He was appointed as Head of Shell Group Investor Relations (IR), commencing full-time from the second week of March 2001. In that position, he was a key player in the gathering and reporting of reserves data. He and his IR team were responsible for ensuring that only accurate information, such as production and reserves data, was passed externally to analysts and investors, including in the form of Quarterly Results Announcements and senior management presentations to third parties.

Simon Henry knew years before Shell investors that reserves had been booked that should not have been booked and that there was high level long term internal anxiety over the issue. However, he continued to deal with analysts and investors without giving any clue about the well-founded concern on a vitally important matter. Instead of coming clean with investors when it became clear that there was a serious problem, those involved, including Henry, misled the markets.[5]
On January 9, 2004, Shell, at the time the world's largest publicly-traded oil and gas company, shocked investors by announcing that it had substantially reduced its "proved" reserves. In the months following the initial announcement, the Shell ultimately revealed that it had reduced its proved reserves by 4.47 billion barrels, representing more than one-fifth of its proved reserves, as well as a reduction to its Reserves Replacement Ratio (RRR), a crucial measure of future performance.[6]
On 13 March 2009, the Financial Times published an article about Simon Henry, who was about to become Chief Financial Officer of Royal Dutch Shell Plc. It said that he had survived the Shell reserves misreporting scandal with his reputation intact.[7]
In 2015, Henry received a total pay packet worth £3.17million. When he left Shell in 2017, the corporation awarded him a €2.3 million payment as compensation for "loss of office".[8]
