The Guardian (UK): Shell shock
“Now we learn that it has encountered cost overruns at its Russian gas project Sakhalin-2 and will have to look again at figures for upcoming capital expenditure. We all know about builders’ estimates but Shell has now discovered that its figures are “out” to the tune of $10bn.”

Things almost seemed to be swell again for Shell. The soaraway oil price has helped to smudge memories of last year’s reserves over-statement scandal.

Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
