MOSCOW (AFX) – Russia said it wants to halt construction of an oil and gas pipeline on Sakhalin Island in the far east of the country because of the risk of landslide damage.
The ministry has proposed that the project, to be run by Anglo-Dutch energy group Royal Dutch Shell, be stopped while environmental experts assess surrounding areas at risk from landslides.
‘The pipeline built from the Sakhalin-2 oilfield could at any moment be damaged by landslides,’ Russia’s natural resources ministry said in a statement.
Sakhalin-2, intended to open in summer 2008, would be the first site to produce liquefied natural gas in Russia.
Shell has a 50-pct stake in the consortium running the project, Sakhalin Energy, while the Japanese companies Mitsui and Mitsubishi hold 25 pct and 20 pct of it respectively.
The first phase of the Sakhalin-2 project is part-financed by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development. The bank is hesitating to back later phases, which would see two offshore oil platforms built and more pipelines underwater. [email protected] afp/cml

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.
