DOMINION PETROLEUM is hoping to follow in the steps of Cairn Energy by drilling its way to a fortune in territory abandoned by Royal Dutch Shell.
The London-based company is hoping to raise $60 million (£32.5 million) in an initial public offering before a $338 million flotation on the Alternative Investment Market to help to fund an oil and gas exploration programme in Tanzania.
Dominion’s focus is on an onshore area in the East African country where Shell had drilled previously for oil and gas. Shell’s hunt proved unsuccessful and the Anglo-Dutch group walked out of Tanzania. Dominion believes that up to $200 million-worth of exploration work had been carried out in the area, providing valuable data for the newcomer to focus future exploration efforts. It estimates that its three licences, covering ten million acres, contain possible reserves of 104 million barrels of oil and gas — before even drilling one well.
Cairn, the Edinburgh company, refused to give up on a venture with Shell in north-western India. Shell walked out of the project, but Cairn continued to drill and discovered a billion-plus barrel oilfield in Rajasthan. The find propelled Cairn into the FTSE 100.

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.
