The Sakhalin Energy consortium, led by Royal Dutch Shell, said it has halted construction of an oil and gas pipeline on Sakhalin Island due to landslide risk affecting a stretch of seven kilometers of the route in the Makarov region.
Spokesman for the consortium Ivan Tcherniakhovski told Agence France-Presse that Sakhalin Energy believes certain sub-contractors have not adhered to technical instructions and standards.
Of the total 1,600 kilometers of pipeline to be laid, 1,410 are completed, and the latest delay is not expected to have an impact on the general timescale of the project, Tcherniakhovski added.
Royal Dutch Shell has a 50% stake in Sakhalin Energy, while the Japanese companies Mitsui and Mitsubishi hold 25% and 20%, respectively.
Russia’s natural resources ministry said earlier this month it wants to halt construction of the pipeline in the far east of the country because of the risk of landslide damage, and it proposed that the project be stopped while environmental experts assess surrounding areas at risk from landslides.

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.
