Oilvoice.com: Shell Awarded Eight Blocks in 22nd Offshore Licensing Round
17 September 2004
Shell U.K. Limited has been awarded two licences in the 22nd offshore licensing round in the UK Continental Shelf. Both licences are in the deep water Atlantic area West of Shetland and comprise a total of eight blocks. One is a new ‘Frontier’ licence with BP as partner and the other a Traditional licence with BP, ChevronTexaco and Faroe Petroleum as partners. Shell will be operator in both cases.
Kieron McFadyen, Technical Director of Shell Exploration & Production in Europe said: “We are very pleased with the awards in this licensing round. We believe the Atlantic margin West of Shetland is an area of potential. The award of these new licences is a further demonstration of Shell’s continued commitment to the North Sea and as the leading oil and gas operator in the UK Continental Shelf.”
Rien Herber, Exploration Director of Shell Exploration and Production in Europe, said: “The complex geology, deep water and difficult sea and weather conditions make the Atlantic margin a challenging area to develop and operate. However, Shell has immense experience in high-risk environments, which will allow us to maximise the chances of unlocking the potential in these areas.”
The award of these operatorships comes three months after the Norwegian Ministry of Petroleum and Energy awarded Shell two operatorships and two partnerships in the 18th offshore licensing round on the Norwegian continental shelf. Again, this is a deep-water area where Shell can harness world-class expertise.

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.
