ROYAL Dutch/Shell and US oil independent Unocal have pulled out of the Xihu Trough offshore natural gas project in the East China Sea because of failure to renegotiate commercial issues, writes Martyn Wingrove.
The two companies each held a 20% stake in the exploration and gas development project, but have terminated their involvement, leaving it in the hands of China National Offshore Oil Corp.
The two companies agreed to assume all the financial risks during the 12-month exploration phase, but were unable to move the project forward into a commercial project.
Lucrative oilfield in India that Shell decided to abandon
The Times: Business Editor’s Commentary: Entrepreneurs need vision, determination and bravery as do large companies if they are to prosper. Bill Gammell has all those qualities. He also has a very lucrative oilfield in India, which Shell decided to abandon. Sir Philip Watts would not have qualified for the first round of the Entrepreneur of the Year contest but Shell’s structure did not nurture genuine entrepreneurs.

The Times: Entrepreneur of the year: Bit player steals show by striking black gold
“Gammell had bought the oilfield from Shell, the oil giant, after it had decided there was little there of worth. He paid about £10 million for assets now valued by the stock market at £1.5 billion.”: “The fortunes of the oil giant — shaken by its reserves downgrade crisis — are in stark contrast to the start-up rival thrown into the big City spotlight.”

BILL GAMMELL is the proof that it can happen. Just as every spear-carrier might one day take centre stage, so every unexceptional, small company owner can enjoy their big break.
Gammell was last night crowned Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year. His tale begins with a “company changing” moment.
A 5am phone call from the deserts of Rajasthan, north- west India, in January brought good news. Cairn Energy, the company that the 51-year-old athletic Scotsman launched 24 years ago and named after the mounds of stones commonly used as memorials, had finally struck black gold.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
