Russia’s Natural Resources Ministry is to challenge in court the Shell-led Sakhalin 2 consortium’s plans to drill for oil and gas off the Siberian island, reports said.
The ministry said today it would file a court challenge to plans to develop oil and gas fields of Sakhalin, a day after calling for pipe-laying wrok for the project to be halted because of the risk of mudslides, the Associated Press reported.
The news service said analysts told it the move was the latest attempt to pressure state gas monopoly Gazprom a stake in what is to become the world’s biggest liquified natural gas development.
The news also comes amid increasingly robust attempts by the Kremlin to asset control over Russia’s strategic natural resources.
The Natural Resources Ministry would ask the Russian courts to revoke approval of a feasibility study by its environmental watchdog on which the consortiums development plans are based, the report said.
The same environmental group yesterday called for a halt to pipe-laying work on the island.

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.
