TOKYO — Gazprom may invest in a 300 billion yen ($2.6 billion), 850-kilometer pipeline to transport natural gas from Sakhalin Island to northern Japan, the head of the Japanese project said.
Japan Pipeline Development Organization, based in the northern island of Hokkaido, is in talks with Gazprom, Russia’s natural gas monopoly, Chief Executive Hideo Ogawa said. The pipeline may link to Exxon Mobil’s Sakhalin-1 project or Royal Dutch Shell’s Sakhalin-2 venture, he said.
“We’re seeking Japanese investors for about half the funding,” he said. “For the other half we’re talking with Gazprom and several other U.S. and European companies.”
The proposal may revive a plan to market gas from Sakhalin in Japan, which stalled because of a lack of support from Japanese utilities around Tokyo, the biggest market. Japan Pipeline’s new project would tap demand in northern Japan.
Japan Pipeline initially will spend 70 billion yen building a 360-kilometer pipeline between the Russian port of Korsakov and the Hokkaido town of Wakkanai by 2011. The pipeline will extend to Aomori, on the northern tip of Japan’s main island of Honshu, by 2013. The company may also build a power plant with General Electric as part of the project, Ogawa said.

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.
