AMSTERDAM — Royal Dutch/Shell is considering developing a gas field in the Barents Sea in a joint liquefied natural gas project with Gazprom, Shell said Wednesday.
“We are currently looking at developing the Shtokman field in the Barents Sea in an LNG project with Gazprom,” a Shell spokesman in The Hague said.
He declined to give further details, but added the project was one of the issues discussed at a meeting between visiting Prime Minister Mikhail Fradkov and Shell’s management on Wednesday.
Shtokman is one of the world’s biggest gas fields, estimated to contain 3.3 trillion cubic meters of gas.
Gazprom has been talking to a number of foreign firms as potential partners for developing Shtokman or an Arctic LNG plant.
Shell’s spokesman said his company, as a major foreign investor in Russia, was encouraged by Moscow’s attempt to attract further investment.
Interfax quoted Fradkov as saying after the meeting with Shell that the company was ready to remain involved in developing Russian hydrocarbon fields and to use the national natural gas export system.
“It is the Shtokman field, the Sakhalin field and a number of other fields, which are not being publicly discussed yet,” Fradkov said.
“Shell’s management expressed an interest in participating in a number of major projects that are capital-intensive.”

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.
