The Brazilian government is dispatching army troops to protect the auction of a $184 billion oilfield today in a Rio de Janeiro hotel.
Soldiers, army vehicles, helicopters and navy ships are guarding the hotel in a beach-side suburb of Rio where companies including China National Petroleum Corp., Royal Dutch Shell Plc (RDSA) and Total SA (FP) are expected to vie for one of the world’s two largest offshore fields at 3 p.m. local time, as oil workers protest the concession. The security operation, which also includes police forces, began over the weekend.
Chris Finlayson saw himself as the victim of a brutal Shell regime
In summary, and there was evidence in 1999 to support this to a degree, Finlayson saw himself as a victim of a brutal regime run out of Seafield House where the TFA mode was born and his MD Malcolm Brinded who was frantically doing everything in his power to suppress all this because he was seen by the Audit to be the principal architect of the demise in standards throughout the oilfield. Finlayson in my book was weak, and ineffective, promoted in my opinion into a position he wasn’t competent or willing to handle.
EMAIL SENT 21 OCT 2013 TO A THIRD PARTY BY BILL CAMPBELL, RETIRED HSE GROUP AUDITOR, SHELL INTERNATIONAL
Subject: Chris Finlayson
My dealings with Chris were a long time ago during an Audit in 1999. This Audit uncovered remarkably bad behaviour in the then Shell Expro organisation stemming from the business drivers and messages coming from the top of the organisation.
I spent some hours in the presence of Aberdeen auditors trying to get Finlayson to retract his statements made to journalists and the BBC North reporter Colin Wight that the Touch F All concerns raised by workforce representatives were unwarranted whilst in fact the situation was worse, much worse than anyone outside the organisation could have envisaged. Last December on his appointment as the BG Chief the Independent newspaper (Mark Leftly) run a article on Finlayson titled if I can remember BG Chief breached safety rules when he was at Shell. Subsequently I wrote a couple of articles putting the meat on the bones of this which John Donovan published. BG given the right to reply made no comment and to date have not requested the evidence to support although this was offered to them.
In summary, and there was evidence in 1999 to support this to a degree, Finlayson saw himself as a victim of a brutal regime run out of Seafield House where the TFA mode was born and his MD Malcolm Brinded who was frantically doing everything in his power to suppress all this because he was seen by the Audit to be the principal architect of the demise in standards throughout the oilfield. Finlayson in my book was weak, and ineffective, promoted in my opinion into a position he wasn’t competent or willing to handle.
Shell’s giant floating refrigerator to tap new gas reserves
Chief executive Peter Voser tells Emily Gosden why the massive Prelude vessel is a game-changer
6:00AM BST 21 Oct 2013
Peter Voser is surveying the view from the Prelude vessel, which he has just boarded for the first time. “Now you see the difference,” he says, pointing out an oil tanker a few hundred yards away. “That’s a regular tanker. It’s a big one, yet a small one.”
Small compared with Prelude, that is. The same could be said of all the giant vessels here in Samsung Heavy Industries’ shipyard in Geoje, South Korea. Among them are liquefied natural gas (LNG) carriers, some of the world’s biggest ships. Yet all are dwarfed by Royal Dutch Shell’s monster. It is, as Voser puts it, “massive” – and it’s still only half-built.
Dozens of LNG platforms to be developed – Shell
Dozens of floating liquefied natural gas (LNG) vessels will be developed by the energy industry over the next two decades, according to Royal Dutch Shell
6:00AM BST 21 Oct 2013
Dozens of floating liquefied natural gas (LNG) vessels will be developed by the energy industry over the next two decades, unlocking major new gas reserves that could otherwise not be produced, Royal Dutch Shell has predicted.
Speaking on a visit to the first ever floating LNG vessel, Prelude, which Shell is constructing in a South Korean shipyard, chief executive Peter Voser said there was no reason why the technology would not take off worldwide.
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.
