Governor’s chief of staff said comments received so far will be evaluated, taking of gas in kind remains core of proposal
By Kristen Nelson
Petroleum News
Officials from Gov. Frank Murkowski’s administration said June 16 that, despite critiques from consultants working for the Legislative Budget and Audit Committee, the core of the proposed gas pipeline fiscal contract — the state taking its gas in kind — is not subject to change.
Jim Clark, the governor’s chief of staff and the lead negotiator on the contract the state negotiated with BP, ConocoPhillips and ExxonMobil, said the administration believes that the state taking its gas in kind is necessary and the core of the contract. It is not, he said, an area where the administration intends to propose contract changes.
Oil sands trust sees assets as ‘cheap insurance’ against rising gas prices; Petro-Canada extends offer without sweetening terms; Coutu says Arctic Islands likely need LNG project
By Gary Park
For Petroleum News
The tussle over natural gas assets in Canada’s Arctic Islands won’t hear the final bell for at least another month.
In an unexpected development, Canadian Oil Sands Trust (COST) apparently trumped two earlier bids for Canada Southern Petroleum, but Petro-Canada has kept itself in the mix by extending its unsolicited offer for another two weeks.

THE Rossport Five has become the Rossport Four. Differences among the men jailed last year over their protest against Shell’s proposed gas pipeline in Mayo have resulted in a split in the group.
One of the five, Brendan Philbin, has not taken any active part in the group’s discussions for about two months and is now pursuing his case against Shell through a separate legal strategy.
Tensions also exist within the remaining four, according to local sources, but they survived a falling-out last month over their response to an “apology” issued by Shell following the release of a safety review by Advantica, consultants hired by the government.
Having locked up 92.8 percent of BlackRock Ventures and completed its C$2.4 billion takeover of the company, Shell Canada has its eye on boosting production from the junior producer to 30,000-50,000 barrels per day.

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.

MORE DETAILS: After a solicitor acting for Shell threatened to make the litigation "drawn out and difficult" with the intention of draining the resources of a financially weaker opponent, my late father (Alfred Donovan) and I decided to mount a wide-ranging campaign as a counter-measure. We jointly founded the Shell Corporate Conscience Pressure Group, which nearly 15% of Shell UK retailers joined. We regularly conducted ethical surveys involving up to 1500 Shell petrol stations. All responses were opened and authenticated by an independent solicitor who supplied Affidavits confirming the results. In whole page announcements in trade magazines (examples above) we challenged Shell to commission and publish the resuits of independent research asking the same questions and offering respondents GUARANTEED anonymity. Shell never took up the invitation. Instead it asked the UK Advertising Standards Authority to investigate our Shell surveys. No problems were found.
