LONDON (AFX) – Anglo-Dutch oil giant Royal Dutch Shell PLC has signed a wide-ranging oil and gas exploration joint activity agreement with Ukrainian group Ukrgazvydobuvannya (UGV).
The agreement — which covers licences, agreed work programme levels and the terms of joint activities — was signed at Royal Dutch Shell’s headquarters in The Hague and was attended by Ukraine’s President, Viktor Yuschenko.
The venture is another milestone for Shell Exploration and Production after an agreement in May last year to carry out joint studies in the Dniepr Donets Basin, central-eastern Ukraine.
The agreement covers an area of more than 31,000 km sq, and is thought to contain potentially significant resources of natural gas.
Under the terms of the joint venture, Shell has farmed into eight UGV licences in the Dniepr Donets Basin, with access to deep potential reservoirs that lie partly beneath large-scale shallower fields, which are already in production.
Shell will acquire a 50 pct interest in the venture covering these licenses — excluding the producing fields — in exchange for a commitment that comprises the acquisition of seismic data and drilling of deep exploration wells over three years. Work is expected to start in June.

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.
