Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Shinzo Abe has warned that diplomatic relations with Russia could be hurt by Russia’s revocation of environmental approvals for Shell’s Sakhalin 2 project.
He spoke after Russia stripped the development of its environmental approval.
“I am concerned that major delays might have a negative influence on overall Japan-Russian relations,” he told Reuters.
The cancellation follows weeks of wrangling between the Russia’s Resources Ministry and Shell over ecological compliance and the ministry promised last week to sue Shell in courts to withdraw all permissions.
Shell operates Sakhalin 2 with a 55% stake. The other shareholders are Japan’s Mitsui & Co (25%) and Mitsubishi Corporation (290%).
Sakhalin 2 has been producing more than 70,000 barrels of oil per day for the past six months as part of its first phase. This will more than double once all the development’s platforms and pipelines are fully up and running.
Phase two also involves building of the world’s biggest liquefied natural gas plant with capacity of 9.6 million tonnes per year.

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.

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.
