NEW YORK (Dow Jones)–Royal Dutch Shell PLC (RDSB.LN) said Wednesday it was monitoring Tropical Storm Chris “closely” as the weather system barreled toward the southeast Bahamas, possibly threatening the U.S. Gulf of Mexico.
“At this time, there is no impact on Shell-operated drilling or producing operations,” Shell said in a statement. “No evacuations of personnel are taking place at this time. Plans are in place to begin evacuating personnel non-essential to drilling or producing operations, if warranted.”
Shell is the first energy company to say it’s keeping an eye on Chris, which the National Hurricane Center says could strengthen to a hurricane later Wednesday or Thursday. Although Chris isn’t expected to graze Florida’s southern tip until this weekend, some weather forecasters already say it could become a threat to oil and natural gas facilities in and along the Gulf.
Compared with 2005, this year’s storm season has been mild. However, most hurricanes form in the months of August and September.

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.
