Russian natural gas giant Gazprom is short of time to join the oil and gas project Sakhalin-2 by the end of March, ITAR-TASS reported Friday.
Gazprom had hoped to complete the deal by March 31.
“Sakhalin-2 is a very large project, and a great amount of details that need to be agreed upon is present here, and this is very difficult technically,” Maxim Shub, Shell spokesman, told ITAR-TASS.
Shub said that intense talks on the completion of the deal were carried on, but a snag was a huge amount of documents to be coordinated.
“We hope to complete these talks this year,” Shub said, adding that “large groups of experts on both sides, including at the level of the leadership” participate in the talks.
Gazprom, Shell, Mitsui and Mitsubishi signed on Dec. 21, 2006, a protocol on the Russian company’s joining Sakhalin Energy in the capacity of a leading shareholder.
Under conditions of the protocol, Gazprom is to purchase 50 percent of shares plus one share in Sakhalin Energy.
In order to complete the deal, each of Sakhalin Energy’s shareholders will reduce its stake by 50 percent with a proportional distribution of payments.
After completion of the transfer, Shell will have 27.5 percent of shares, Mitsui 12.5 percent and Mitsubishi 10 percent.

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.
