From Asia Pulse

PERTH, June 28 Asia Pulse – China has commissioned its first liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal, receiving LNG from Australia’s North West Shelf joint venture.
The North West Shelf joint venture, which is operated by Woodside Petroleum Ltd (ASX:WPL), is the first international supplier of LNG into China and joint venture president Peter Cleary said it was the beginning of a 25-year relationship.
“We would like to congratulate our Chinese customers on the safe and successful commissioning of their new LNG facilities in the Guangdong province,” he said in China today.
“We look forward to meeting their energy requirements through safe and reliable deliveries of LNG over the next 25 years.”
Mr Clearly was attending a ceremony to mark the commissioning of the receiving terminal along with Prime Minister John Howard, Chinese premier Wen Jiabao and Western Australian premier Alan Carpenter.
The first shipment bound for China left the port of Karratha in May, and the shipment to arrive today on the Northwest Swan left WA last week.
Mr Clearly said he was grateful to China for choosing the North West Shelf as its preferred energy supplier.
“There is growing international interest in future energy sources and supplies worldwide,” he said.
The supply deal, signed in October 2002, sees the project supplying more than 3.3 million tonnes of LNG a year for 25 years.
The project in Western Australia’s north-west is a joint venture between Woodside Energy, BHP Billiton (ASX:BHP), BP Developments Australia, Chevron Australia, Japan Australia and Shell Development.
Shares in Woodside dropped 48 cents to A$42.52 by 1209 AEST while BHP Billiton also pulled back 79 cents to A$27.31 in a broadly weaker market.

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.
