MarketWatch: Oil minister says Shell, Exxon Mobil out of Venezuela gas project
Posted Saturday 20 August 2005
CARACAS (MarketWatch) — Venezuela’s oil minister said Friday that Royal Dutch Shell and ExxonMobil Corp. will no longer participate in the Mariscal Sucre natural gas project.
Venezuela will begin to develop the project’s initial two fields on its own, Rafael Ramirez told reporters.
Venezuela had been in talks with the two companies for the Mariscal Sucre project but had reached no agreement. The minister said the government will use its own resources to launch the project.
As part of the investment plans of state oil company Petroleos de Venezuela (PVZ.YY), the government also intends to overhaul refineries across the country and build three new ones.
Ramirez said that project will cost $10 billion and will take until 2012 to complete.
Venezuela is the world’s fifth-largest oil-exporting country and a top crude supplier to the U.S.

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.
