SAN FRANCISCO, Aug 16 (Reuters) – Trico Marine Services Inc.
The two Norwegians and two Ukrainians were released on Tuesday, Aug. 15, the Houston-based oil field support services company said in a statement.
The men were abducted on August 8 from a ship servicing an offshore oil rig operated by Peak Petroleum in partnership with Equator Exploration
The Nigerian government said on Tuesday that the workers had been released, but Trico confirmed it late on Wednesday.
Trico President and Chief Executive Trevor Turbidy said in the company’s statement that local officials in Nigeria, the governments of Norway, Ukraine and the United States and Peak Petroleum had contributed to resolving the kidnappings.
“We appreciate the hard work and support of our colleagues around the world and are extremely grateful that the four workers were released unharmed and returned home to be with their families,” Turbidy said.
Peak is in dispute with a local community over jobs and other benefits. The four men were released after Peak struck an agreement to include the community in their benefits package, with the blessing of the local government, authorities said on Tuesday.
Trico said that all four employees would undergo medical examinations and that they would be debriefed before returning to home.
The men worked on a vessel owned by a Norwegian unit of Trico that services an offshore drilling rig.
Eight foreigners were kidnapped from the same rig for two days in June. About 16 foreign oil workers have been kidnapped in five separate abductions in the past two week sin the oil-producing Niger Delta. Nine have been released.
A series of attacks and kidnappings at the beginning of the year by a new militant group demanding more local control over the delta’s oil wealth prompted President Olusegun Obasanjo to set up a committee to inject new investment into the neglected region.
Those attacks forced Royal Dutch Shell
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.
