Crude-oil futures rocketed to nearly $77 a barrel, an all-time nominal high, on the New York Mercantile Exchange after violence in the Middle East intensified, raising concerns that oil supplies in the region could be disrupted. In electronic trading after hours, oil prices rose to more than $78 a barrel. The surge in oil prices raised concerns about economic growth and hurt U.S. stock prices, triggering the second straight day of triple-digit losses for the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Here’s Thursday’s roundup of oil and energy news.

VIOLENCE IN NIGERIA: Though overshadowed by developments in the Mideast, violence in Nigeria also contributed to oil’s rise. Twin explosions hit oil installations belonging to an Italy’s Agip in Nigeria’s volatile southeastern delta region. There was no word on who was responsible for the attacks. Militant assaults on oil installations this year in the main oil-producing Niger Delta have cut more than 20% of Nigeria’s daily oil exports of 2.5 million barrels and helped drive up world oil prices.
•Caspian Pipeline: The presidents of Turkey, Azerbaijan and Georgia formally opened a $3.9-billion pipeline designed to bypass Russia and bring Caspian oil to Europe, a route that President Bush said would bolster global energy security.
•Yukos vs. Rosneft: Yukos filed for an injunction against Rosneft’s $11 billion IPO on the London stock exchange, the Moscow Times reports.
•Oil-for-Food Conviction: South Korean businessman Tongsun Park, 71, accused of being an Iraqi agent and trying to influence the United Nations’ oil-for-food program, was found guilty of conspiracy.
•Nuclear Vulnerability: Despite progress on security, tons of nuclear material are “dangerously vulnerable” to theft by terrorists across the globe, a private group called the Nuclear Threat Initiative contended in two reports commissioned by the Managing the Atom Project at Harvard and the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
•Antarctic Oil: Ali Samsam Bakhtiari, oil researcher at the University of Tehran, told a conference of the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research in Hobart, Australia, that oil exploration in Antarctica is inevitable.

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.
