ST. Petersburg, May 18 (RIA Novosti) – Expert analyses of the rising costs of the giant Sakhalin II energy project should be completed over the summer, Russia's energy minister said Thursday.
“We are conducting an assessment of the Sakhalin-II project in relation to increased capital investment [in the project], the rising cost of the project and the initiative proposed by an investor,” Viktor Khristenko said, without giving a specific timeframe for the assessment.
Under the project, Sakhalin Energy is developing two vast offshore fields off the island of Sakhalin in Russia's Far East that hold estimated recoverable reserves of 150 million metric tons of oil and 500 billion cubic meters of gas. read more Like this:Like Loading...

GADHAFI MEETS WITH CHAVEZ: Libyan leader Moammar al-Gadhafi, who has recently strengthened his ties with the U.S. and other Western nations, had a sit-down with Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, who has been busy burning his bridges with the same nations. Both men lead OPEC member nations and the topic of their discussion, according to Mr. Chavez, was how to “maintain oil prices and avoid that they hit the floor again.” That should do little to help his popularity in the U.S. The men met at Mr. Gadhafi's Tripoli house, still damaged from a 1986 U.S. bombing attack. It was Mr. Chavez's fourth visit to Libya. Though both men have had very different relationships with the U.S. of late, they have long admired each other. read more Like this:Like Loading...

SEOUL (Reuters) – Oil prices fell toward $68 a barrel on Thursday, pressured by rising U.S. gasoline inventories and concern that high energy costs are leading to inflation that could slow demand.
U.S. light crude oil (CLc1) was trading 18 cents lower at $68.51 a barrel by 0311 GMT, extending Wednesday's 84-cent loss. London Brent crude (LCOc1) slipped 12 cents to $68.92. read more Like this:Like Loading...

Here's a report from a London Rising Tider with a single Shell share, who went into its Annual General Meeting, while others stayed outside to leaflet shareholders and passers-by. The main meeting took place in The Hague, with a video feed to London, or the Novotel Hammersmith, to be precise.
I got in, surprisingly, (since I thought they would follow BP's lead and say no way), and took my usual vantage point in these situations, as close to the Chairman as possible, being the second row, as the first was taken up by eager beaver Shell employees in reserved seats. But seeing as the meeting was taking place in The Hague, and the only board member present in London was the rather abandoned-seeming Chair of Shell UK James Smith, there was really no heckling to be done that could have reached the ears of those assembled in The Hague, so I sat through interminable questions about whether the management was overpaying itself in order to have a chance to take the microphone for some gratuitous ranting of my own.
Actually, before I had my turn there were some good interventions from members of fenceline communities (ie. working class often black communities living right next to highly polluting and dangerous refineries and other facilities in countries like the US, South Africa, Nigeria and the Philippines). They exposed the sham of Shell's 'good neighbour' policy, but unfortunately seemed keen only to work with Shell to sort out their particular problems, and didn't take the opportunity to call for a turning away from oil and gas production for the sake of the long-term future of the planet. Of course, it's understandable that working class communities' prime motivation might be to create a liveable locale with decent job prospects, but in this time of planetary emergency, it would be great if Shell's most persistent and high-profile critics (outside the investment community that is) were able to widen their critique to address climatic collapse. read more Like this:Like Loading...

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.
IN JULY 2007, MR BILL CAMPBELL (ABOVE, A RETIRED GROUP AUDITOR OF SHELL INTERNATIONAL SENT AN EMAIL TO EVERY UK MP AND MEMBER OF THE HOUSE OF LORDS:
