LONDON (AFX) – Royal Dutch Shell PLC was warned more than four years ago by one of its own senior officials that he had major reservations about safety issues inside the troubled Sakhalin-2 development in eastern Russia, The Guardian reported.
Internal Shell emails, sent to the then technical director of the Shell-led Sakhalin Energy company, raise fears about the size of wells, drilling in an earthquake area, and an unforgiving schedule, the newspaper said.
One of the messages from Hans Bouman, asset manager for the NAM company, jointly owned by Shell and Esso, questions whether one division of Shell turned down the opportunity to develop Sakhalin because of its own concerns, The Guardian added.
The emails have surfaced as Shell comes under attack from the Kremlin over costs soaring to 12 bln stg and allegations of environmental damage caused by the liquefied natural gas scheme, according to the newspaper. [email protected] nh/abr

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.
