Lloyds List: I spy with my little’: Russian secret services… infiltrating SAKHALIN Energy

Last Word

Published: Nov 30, 2006

SAKHALIN Energy has tightened its own security, apparently in a bid to prevent Russian secret services from infiltrating the organisation that is developing oil and gas fields off the nation’s east coast.

The Shell-led consortium has added new computer technology by installing spyware to protect laptops and office computers from the Big Brother state services.

Sources told Last Word that Sakhalin Energy employees fear they are being followed. Considering the government’s environmental agency is stepping up its investigation into the Sakhalin II project, many believe their concerns are not too far from the truth.

Russia’s special services are involved in the investigation, led by Oleg Mitvol, deputy head of the environmental agency, as Sakhalin Energy continues to show it is meeting conditions of its production sharing contract.

Mr Mitvol claims Shell is wrecking the environment as it builds oil and gas pipelines across the island to link processing facilities with a liquefied natural gas plant and tanker terminal.
