Royal Dutch/Shell has eased some of the disappointment about the loss of its Oman field by striking a gas exploration and development deal with Libya, its first big project in the energy-rich former pariah state for 30 years, writes James Boxell.
Shell will spend $105m (£55m) on renovating a liquefied natural gas plant on the Libyan coast and has been granted a licence to search for gas in five blocks in the Sirte basin, the country’s main energy-producing region.
Linda Cook, head of gas and power at Shell, said: “Our explorers are very, very excited about access to these blocks.” She said the deal would also cement Shell’s leading position in LNG, one of the fastest growing sectors in the oil and gas industry, following recent deals in Algeria, Nigeria and Qatar. Natural gas is supercooled and liquefied at LNG plants so it can be transported by ship rather than pipeline. Any gas found would be used to supply the LNG plant.

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.
