Anglo-Dutch venture Royal Dutch Shell continues to move forward with plans to develop a large gas field in Iran.
Shell said it will continue with its Iranian project in the South Pars gas field. It hopes to complete it by early 2008. Shell has admitted to political considerations playing a part in its decision on the scheme.
Shell Chief Executive Jeroen van der Veer said Thursday the release of 15 captured British sailors and marines was a politically positive signal. He added that Shell’s future investment in gas projects would be shaped in part by the political environment.
The decision is “good news both for the families and politically,” he said.
The Bush administration, meanwhile, has warned it could impose sanctions on Western firms doing business with Iran, a move that has not stopped Shell from expanding its operations in Iran.
In January, Shell and Spain’s Repsol YPF secured a preliminary $10 billion agreement with the Iranian government to develop two phases of the huge South Pars gas field.
“We’re doing our preparations,” van der Veer told reporters on the sidelines of the Petrostrategies conference in Paris. “We will take political consideration into account.”

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.
