SHELL has been forced to delay full production at its giant Sakhalin oilfield off the coast of eastern Siberia until 2008.
It is yet another blow for the oil giant, which had previously postponed the controversial project to 2007.
Shell stunned the market last month, revealing that costs on the Sakhalin II project had doubled to £10.5 billion.
The Russian project, one of the most important in Shell’s portfolio, has been plagued with technical and environmental problems from the start.
Environmentalists’ protests over pipe-laying across salmon rivers on the island of Sakhalin and through grey whale breeding grounds played havoc with the timetable. The pipeline linking the offshore fields to Sakhalin had to be re-routed.
Shell admitted in July that there would be delays to year-round oil production because of problems with the pipeline.
A spokeswoman denied these delays were caused by extra work to get around grey whale breeding grounds and blamed the harsh environment.
Sakhalin Energy, 55 per cent owned by Shell, exports oil only in the summer because the sea to the north of the island freezes in the winter.

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.
