Last week, Russia’s environmental watchdog Rosprirodnadzor said it would seek to revoke Sakhalin Energy’s environmental clearance for the second phase of its project to develop the oil and gas region known as Sakhalin-II after finding fault with the way Sakhalin Energy Ltd. has handled some environmental concerns.
Van de Veer said the consortium always seeks to comply with the exacting standards set for the project, and seeks to rectify any lapses when they happen.
Sakhalin Energy previously said it was “surprised by the fact that minor deviations on this large scale integrated oil and gas project” were being used to challenge its environmental approval. It maintained it had met the “vast majority” of the state’s environmental recommendations from 2003 and was in the process of closing off the rest.
Sakhalin Energy currently pumps about 80,000 barrels a day of crude oil from the Sakhalin island, which is located on the Pacific coast. Sakhalin Energy plans to start shipping liquefied natural gas, or LNG, to East Asian and North American markets from 2008.
The Sakhalin Energy consortium is majority owned by Shell, while a subsidiary of Japan’s Mitsui & Co. Ltd. (MITSY) holds a 25% stake and Diamond Gas Sakhalin, a subsidiary of Japan’s Mitsubishi Corp. (8058.TO), holds 20%.

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.
