MOSCOW, June 14 (UPI) — Russia’s Pacific offshore oil platform Molikpaq has returned to duty and begun the summer oil extraction season, ITAR-TASS reported Wednesday.
Molikpaq, which is owned by Sakhalin Energy, was out of operation during the winter months, as its location in the Sea of Okhotsk means that operators must first wait for the sea to become free of ice before lifting the floating berth from the sea bed and docking the Okha supertanker, which is used for storage during the season.
Since 1999, the Molikpaq platform has produced approximately 10 million tons, or 70 million barrels, of oil. This season it is expected to produce 12 million barrels of crude. The oil from Molikpaq is exported to the Asia-Pacific region and the United States.
The Sakhalin shelf is the focus of oil investment and development.
The Yastreb platform is a coastal drilling and oil production platform extracting hydrocarbon fuel on the Sakhalin shelf. The platform is linked to oil deposits under the sea bed at Okhotsk by 10 inclined wells.
The Orlan sea platform is expected to begin operating this year. With it online, the five sea platforms on the Sakhalin shelf are expected to produce 2 million tons of oil per year from 2007.

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.
