Russian President Vladimir Putin is warning that Russian authorities will take action against foreign oil companies that fail to meet environmental regulations and other licensing agreements.
Mr. Putin spoke Wednesday in Sochi, at a regional conference of energy ministers from Black Sea countries.
Last week, Moscow revoked environmental approval for the huge Sakhalin-2 project, run by Royal Dutch Shell on Russia’s Pacific coast. However, Russia’s Natural Resources Ministry later gave Royal Shell and other investors another month to fix any environmental problems at Sakhalin before any action is taken.
Earlier Wednesday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said an ongoing Sakhalin environmental impact study is intended to make sure investors meet their obligations. He says the study does not indicate that the project’s license will be revoked.
Japanese firms Mitsui and Mitsubishi have a combined 45 percent stake in the project, which is led by the British-Dutch oil giant, Shell.
Japan’s ambassador to Russia criticized the threat to suspend the project as one-sided and lacking transparency. He warned that it could hurt Russia’s image among international investors.

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.
