ABOUT THE only place in Scotland where the price of West Texas Intermediate Crude is on everybody’s lips is Aberdeen. But even in oil city there must be some confusion about the relationship between the wholesale cost of the black stuff and BP’s imminent cutbacks there.
The big question is why BP is taking the scalpel to its Aberdeen-headquartered North Sea business when the benchmark price of oil keeps on breaking new records and presumably boosting profits.

Dear John,
Maura Harrington, Shell to Sea, here. Firstly, best wishes to your father and continued good health and longevity to him.
I would like to alert you to a poll result which will be published in the Irish Times on Monday next. This follows a 5 day online debate on the subject ‘Is Shell’s Corrib Gas Project good for the Local Community?’
(http://scripts.ireland.com/polls/head2head/index.cfm?fuseaction=yesnopoll&pollid=8030&subsiteid=352).
I’m very pleased that the result presented on a pie chart will show 16% YES and 84% NO!

LAGOS, Oct 27 (Reuters) – A prominent militant group claimed responsibility on Saturday for the kidnapping of six foreign workers from an Italian oil facility off the coast of Nigeria.
The Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) gave no reason for Friday’s abduction, the second in a week, which underscored the fragility of a peace initiative in the Niger Delta, Africa’s biggest oil producing region.
“MEND carried out the attack. Six oil workers captured,” the group said in an e-mail to Reuters from a recognised MEND address.

A Shell pensioner, Bernie Doeser, a distinguished former senior project manager at Shell, poses an interesting ethical dilemma in a “letter to the editor” published in the current edition of the Shell Pensioners Association news magazine. He questions whether the Shell Contributory Pension Fund (SCPF) should invest taking into account ethical considerations.
Mr Doeser asks whether the trustees should invest in companies that “have a history of polluting the environment”, “support repressive regimes” and “have a poor health and safety record with their employees or customers.”

Gunmen in speedboats yesterday kidnapped six oil workers from an Italian vessel off the Nigerian coast, the second such attack in a week.
The attackers boarded the production facility owned by Eni, the Italian energy company, and seized the hostages, who were from Nigeria, Poland and the Philippines. The raid follows an assault on a Royal Dutch Shell oil facility last Saturday – seven hostages were taken and released two days later.

A senior foreign policy adviser to the Republican frontrunner Rudy Giuliani has urged that Iran be bombed using cruise missiles and “bunker busters” to set back Teheran’s nuclear programme by at least five years.
The tough message at a time of crisis between the United States and Iraq was delivered by Norman Podhoretz, one of the founders of neoconservatism, who has also imparted his stark advice personally to a receptive President George W. Bush.
EXTRACT: The US Securities and Exchange Commission recently put Shell on a list of companies that were working in “state sponsors of terrorism countries”. Shell said that its activities in Iran were transparent and information on them was fully available to investors.

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.

MORE DETAILS: After a solicitor acting for Shell threatened to make the litigation "drawn out and difficult" with the intention of draining the resources of a financially weaker opponent, my late father (Alfred Donovan) and I decided to mount a wide-ranging campaign as a counter-measure. We jointly founded the Shell Corporate Conscience Pressure Group, which nearly 15% of Shell UK retailers joined. We regularly conducted ethical surveys involving up to 1500 Shell petrol stations. All responses were opened and authenticated by an independent solicitor who supplied Affidavits confirming the results. In whole page announcements in trade magazines (examples above) we challenged Shell to commission and publish the resuits of independent research asking the same questions and offering respondents GUARANTEED anonymity. Shell never took up the invitation. Instead it asked the UK Advertising Standards Authority to investigate our Shell surveys. No problems were found.
