Recently, PetroChina Company Limited (PetroChina) decided to terminate its two-year negotiation with Shell, Exxon Mobil Corporation and Gazprom. The joint venture negotiation was about the participation of these foreign energy groups in the projects of pipelines constructed by PetroChina.
The “West-to-East Natural Gas Transmission Project” is a heavyweight project that is rare in recent years in China. With the total investment of US$ 18 billion, the project involves a total of 4,200 kilometers in length from West China to Shanghai. Before the project started, PetroChina and these foreign energy groups attained a frame agreement in Beijing in July 2002. According to this agreement, in the joint-venture company, PetroChina would hold 50 percent stocks, China Petroleum and Chemical Corporation would have 5 percent, and Exxon Mobil, Shell and Gazprom would each possess 15 percent. The investment would be performed through capital stocks and bank loans. However, the subsequent formal contract failed to be concluded till the current termination of the negotiation.

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.
