THE HAGUE, Netherlands – Royal Dutch Shell PLC said Monday its Shell Exploration & Production Company has been awarded 84 leases off the coast of Alaska in the Beaufort Sea.
The leases were granted by the U.S. Minerals Management Service after Shell bid in March on the leases in the so-called Outer Continental Shelf.
“Shell is committed to growing globally through exploration for new material oil and more integrated gas and we believe North America continues to hold promising opportunities,” Shell said in a statement.
Shell, still recovering from a scandal over the downsizing of its reserves, said last week it will increase spending on exploration to an annual $1.8 billion in 2005 and 2006 from $1.5 billion last year.
“We believe that we can build a significant position in Alaska, starting in the Beaufort,” said Chandler Wilhelm, Alaska Exploration Manager.

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.
