Lawsuits have Shell debating Arctic drilling
Scientists say Alaska's Arctic waters could hide a massive storehouse for oil and natural gas, estimated to nearly rival the onshore discoveries of the North Slope. Betting on that, Shell two years ago spent more than $2 billion to obtain leases in the two seas and mobilized hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of equipment to Alaska.
But after spending all that money, the oil company has been stymied. Environmentalists and North Slope governments sounded the alarm about potential impacts on bowhead whales and the possibility of oil spills. Both sued successfully to block the drilling during the past two summers. More litigation to block next summer's drilling is likely.
Warning of what could happen to the Shell Corrib Gas Pipeline
AP Photo – Flames blazed more than 400 feet high above a natural gas line explosion that rocked Bushland, Texas about 1 a.m. Thursday Nov. 5, 2009 in the Texas Panhandle. The roaring sound of the leaking gas could be heard and seen from Amarillo more than 10 miles away. The gas line explosion was located about 2 miles north of Interstate 40 and 1 mile east of Bushland Road. A nearby structure is seen burning on the right of the photo and a high power utility pole is seen smoldering to the left of the blaze. A nearby rural neighborhood was evacuated by Potter County Sheriffs.
Outrage as top arms dealer plans “ethics” lecture
IF RICHARD WISEMAN (RIGHT), SHELL’S RULE BENDING CHIEF ETHICS AND NON COMPLIANCE OFFICER CAN GIVE AN ANTI-CORRUPTION SPEECH IN ASIA, DESPITE HIS TRACK RECORD IN SUPPORTING CORRUPT PRACTICES BY SHELL MANAGERS, WHAT’S THE PROBLEM WITH THE HEAD OF BAE SYSTEMS, AN ARMS COMPANY “ACCUSED OF CORRUPTION IN FIVE CONTINENTS”, DELIVERING A LECTURE ON ETHICAL ISSUES?
By staff writers 3 Nov 2009
The news that the head of a multinational arms company is to deliver a prominent lecture on ethics has been greeted with a mixture of derision and outrage. Dick Olver, chair of BAE Systems, will focus on ethical issues when he delivers the Mountbatten Memorial Lecture on 12 November.
BAE has long been criticised by NGOs, charities, churches and faith groups for its arms sales to oppressive regimes such as Saudi Arabia and Indonesia. The company has been accused of corruption in five continents and is thought to be on the brink of prosecution in the UK.
Exxon, Shell win Iraq’s W.Qurna contract
BAGHDAD, Nov 5 (Reuters) - Iraq's oil ministry said on Thursday that a group led by U.S. oil major Exxon Mobil (XOM.N) beat three rival consortiums to win the contract to develop the giant West Qurna oilfield, one of several fields left unclaimed after a June auction.
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.
