Shell Exploration & Production Co. will keep its Mars Tension Leg Platform oil and gas production facility shut down longer than anticipated, the company said Monday.
The company, a unit of oil joint venture Royal Dutch/Shell Group of Cos., said it shut down the Gulf of Mexico facility May 22 after discovering a small leak from an oil pipeline. After discovering signs of deterioration to a natural gas export line, the company said it would keep the facility closed longer than the three weeks that were originally anticipated.
“Our primary concerns are safety and mitigating environmental risk,” said Shell Gulf of Mexico East asset manager Frank Glaviano. “Although the gas pipeline had not incurred a leak, based on the observed condition, we felt it prudent to also take the gas line out of service and repair its flexjoint in conjunction with the oil pipeline repair.”
Shares of Royal Dutch recently traded up 1.21 percent to $50.96 and shares of Shell Transport and Trading were up 1.25 percent to $44.42 on the New York Stock Exchange.

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.
