Lloyds List: Shell suffers further delays at Sakhalin II
“In July, Shell said capital costs in Sakhalin II have doubled to $20bn because of a raft of issues including the new pipeline routes, increasing contractor costs and changes in project requirements. It has already pulled back first deliveries of liquefied natural gas from the project into 2008.”

ROYAL Dutch Shell could possibly face further delays to year-round oil production at the key Sakhalin II project in eastern Russia, writes Martyn Wingrove .
The Anglo-Dutch oil major has already said year-round oil output would be put back to the end of 2007 because of problems laying the onshore pipeline across the island’s icy terrain.
Mitsubishi, a Japanese investor in the project, said the delays could be extended into 2008 because Sakhalin Energy Investment will have to re-route offshore pipelines to avoid a whale breeding area.
At present, Sakhalin Energy, led by Shell, exports crude from the Sakhalin II production sharing contract area over the summer months only, because of the restrictions from winter ice sheets
The proposed offshore pipelines will transport crude to an onshore processing plant and enable year-round production of 180,000 barrels per day.

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.
