MOSCOW, Oct 17 (Reuters) – Russia’s resources ministry will meet state prosecutors next month to discuss joint action in its campaign against ecological violations by international oil majors, it said on Tuesday.
The General Prosecutor’s Office has become one of the most feared institutions among Russia’s investment community since the demise of private oil company YUKOS (YUKO.MM: Quote, Profile, Research), in which prosecutors played a key role.
Oil majors such as Royal Dutch Shell (RDSa.L: Quote, Profile, Research) and Exxon Mobil (XOM.N: Quote, Profile, Research) have come under pressure from the ministry in recent months over ecological and technical violations.
Analysts say the Kremlin aims to regain control over projects led by Shell and Exxon on the remote Pacific island of Sakhalin after the companies have made most of the investments to bring them on stream.
The companies have also infuriated Russian officials by running over their agreed budgets.
The ministry said the meeting would be in mid-November.
“It is expected that participants of the meeting will be briefed on the recent ecological violations, discovered in activities of some oil companies in Russia in the past months, and determine how prosecutors should react to these facts,” the statement 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.
