The former partner of a man killed while working on a Shell oil platform is suing the Anglo-Dutch energy giant in an £800,000 joint damages claim.
Jacqueline Ogilvie, who was due to marry Keith Moncrieff at the time of his death in September 2003, has today filed a lawsuit against Wood Group, Mr Moncrieff’s former employer, and Shell, owner of the North Sea oil platform he was working on when he died.
George Clark, managing director of Quantum Claims, a specialist compensation firm representing Mrs Ogilvie, said his client has accused Shell of “negligence” that led to financial losses for her and her two daughters. read more shellplc.website and its sister non-profit websites royaldutchshellplc.com, royaldutchshellgroup.com, shellenergy.website, shellnazihistory.com, royaldutchshell.website, johndonovan.website, shellnews.net and

The partner of a man who died on a North Sea oil platform is seeking £800,000 in damages.
Keith Moncrieff, 45, and Sean McCue, 22, died after being overcome with gas on Shell’s Brent Bravo in 2003.
Mr Moncrieff’s partner Jacqueline Ogilvie has now launched an action seeking damages from both Shell and also Wood Group, which employed him.
Shell has already been fined £900,000 and the result of a fatal accident inquiry is also due soon. Mr Moncrieff, from Invergowrie, Dundee, and Mr McCue, from Kennoway, Fife, were inspecting a pipe on Brent Bravo, which lies 116 miles north-east of Shetland, when they died. read more shellplc.website and its sister non-profit websites royaldutchshellplc.com, royaldutchshellgroup.com, shellenergy.website, shellnazihistory.com, royaldutchshell.website, johndonovan.website, shellnews.net and

Oil-News Roundup
The WALL STREET JOURNAL ONLINEMay 13, 2006
Crude-oil prices fell to less than $73 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, despite continuing geopolitical worries and trouble in Nigeria, as traders apparently chose to cash in after oil's recent rally. Here is today's well of news about oil and energy.

MORE TROUBLE IN NIGERIA: At least 150 people died when a ruptured gasoline pipeline exploded in southwestern Nigeria. It was the third disruptive incident in the region in as many days, though this seemed not to have been caused by militants, who earlier this week killed one foreign oil worker and kidnapped three others. Instead, the volatile fuel inside the pipeline simply exploded after a rupture, at a moment when several locals had surrounded it and were trying to gather the spilling gas for fuel or resale on the black market. Crude prices, which had fallen earlier in the morning after militants released the kidnapped oil workers, recovered a bit after the explosion. One cynical oil analyst said the incident, while tragic, was “not that big a deal from [a] supply perspective.” But Nigerian supply concerns are not going away any time soon. Militant attacks in the country have shut down about a fifth of its daily production, putting upward pressure on global crude prices. Today, the militant group Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta vowed to attack a liquefied natural gas plant in Bonny. read more and its sister non-profit websites royaldutchshellplc.com, royaldutchshellgroup.com, shellenergy.website, shellnazihistory.com, royaldutchshell.website, johndonovan.website, shellnews.net and

Can you afford to ignore risk of fraud?
By Ian Cowie, Personal Finance Editor (Filed: 13/05/2006)
Former fraudster Frank Abagnale is a classic example of poacher turned gamekeeper.
He was in town this week to promote a new service which aims to protect us from 21st century forms of theft, which the Home Office reckons cost £1.7 billion last year. Mr Abagnale also had some free advice to help make life more difficult for the cyber crooks. As always, his timing was impeccable.
On Monday, The Daily Telegraph had revealed how a £1 million scam forced Shell to suspend payment for petrol with chip and pin (Personal Identity Number) cards in all its 600 forecourts. read more and its sister non-profit websites royaldutchshellplc.com, royaldutchshellgroup.com, shellenergy.website, shellnazihistory.com, royaldutchshell.website, johndonovan.website, shellnews.net and

Up to 200 killed in Nigeria as fuel thieves cause huge pipeline blast Tom Ashby in Inagbe beach and Reuters
Saturday May 13, 2006
The Guardian
A pipeline explosion killed up to 200 people on the outskirts of Lagos yesterday, leaving charred corpses on a sandy beach where locals tapping the pipe to steal fuel ignited the blast.
The Red Cross said the pipeline blew up in the early hours of the morning while thieves were siphoning fuel into jerry cans for sale on the black market. The explosion burned everything within a 20 metre radius. Only calcinated skulls and bones were left of five people who were closest to the pipeline, which bore marks of drilling in several places.
About 100 blackened corpses were strewn on the water's edge. Some bodies, charred and bloated, floated in the creek, which is about a mile from Lagos city centre. “You can see the corpses. Some are burnt to ash. Others are remnants. We estimate 150 to 200 people died,” the Lagos state police commissioner, Emmanuel Adebayo, said at the scene. read more shellplc.website and its sister non-profit websites royaldutchshellplc.com, royaldutchshellgroup.com, shellenergy.website, shellnazihistory.com, royaldutchshell.website, johndonovan.website, shellnews.net and

HOUSTON (Reuters) – Worldwide oil supplies may be even more vulnerable to disruption as the 2006 hurricane season approaches than they were before Katrina and Rita shut down nearly 25 percent of U.S. oil and gas production and 15 refineries in coastal states last year.
“We're still living in a disrupted world,'' said Guy Caruso, administrator of the U.S. Energy Information Administration, at a recent Houston energy conference. read more shellplc.website and its sister non-profit websites royaldutchshellplc.com, royaldutchshellgroup.com, shellenergy.website, shellnazihistory.com, royaldutchshell.website, johndonovan.website, shellnews.net and

Dutch Bank Urged to Pass on Russian Oil Project
Emad Mekay
WASHINGTON, May 12 (IPS) – The giant Dutch bank ABN Amro, one of the world's largest financial institutions, is facing charges of “environmental hypocrisy” from green groups concerned over the bank's possible financing for a controversial Russian oil extraction project.
The accusations came on the eve of a ceremony in which ABN Amro was scheduled to accept the 2006 Gold Medal Award for “International Corporate Achievement in Sustainable Development” from the World Environment Centre, a Washington-based industry-backed organisation. read more and its sister non-profit websites royaldutchshellplc.com, royaldutchshellgroup.com, shellenergy.website, shellnazihistory.com, royaldutchshell.website, johndonovan.website, shellnews.net and

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.
