An international oil and gas development off Russia’s Sakhalin island, involving Japanese companies, will move ahead despite the Russian environmental regulator’s lawsuit to revoke government approval, a senior trade ministry official said Monday [September 11th].
“There can be many problems in the process of construction,” Takao Kitabata, vice-minister of economy, trade and industry, said at a press conference. The project will “move towards realization in the long run.”
Kitabata was referring to a lawsuit filed by the Russian Federal Service for the Supervision of Natural Resources in Moscow last week, calling for the government to withdraw its approval of the Sakhalin-2 project on the grounds that the exploration program could harm the environment.
The project is promoted by Sakhalin Energy Investment Co., a joint venture set up by Royal Dutch/Shell Group, Japanese trading houses Mitsui and Co. and Mitsubishi Corp. and other concerns.
The project will be “an important supply source of energy for Japan,” Kitabata said.

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.
