Business Day (South Africa): Shell, US in liquefied natural gas talks
“A consortium led by oil giant Royal Dutch/Shell is in the final stages of negotiating the first-ever contract to sell Russian liquefied natural gas (LNG) to North America”
TOKYO – A consortium led by oil giant Royal Dutch/Shell is in the final stages of negotiating the first-ever contract to sell Russian liquefied natural gas (LNG) to North America, a spokesman said Thursday.
“We are in advanced (stage of) negotiations for the sale of LNG to North America. But no deal has been signed yet,” said the spokesman for Sakhalin Energy, a joint venture comprising Royal Dutch/Shell, Japan’s Mitsui and Co. and Mitsubishi Corp.
Sakhalin Energy’s Sakhalin II project, one of the largest integrated oil and gas projects ever undertaken, made its first deals in May 2003 to provide a combined 2.3 million tons of LNG a year to two Tokyo gas and power utilities starting in 2007.
They marked the first arrangements to export Russian natural gas to the Asia-Pacific region.
An LNG production factory on the island of Sakhalin in Russia’s Far East, the first such facility in Russia, will be completed by 2007, in the second phase of development of the project.
This phase, which will cost 10 billion dollars, also includes the construction of two new offshore platforms, oil and gas pipelines running through the island and an oil exporting terminal.
The reserves of Sakhalin II, based off Sakhalin island, are estimated at over one billion barrels (150 million tons) of crude oil and more than 500 billion cubic metres of natural gas.

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.
