Royal Dutch Shell could lose management control of Sakhalin Energy, the Russian company which runs the giant Sakhalin project in eastern Siberia.
The loss would be a further blow to the Anglo-Dutch oil group and comes after Shell was forced to cede majority ownership of the company to Gazprom, the state-owned gas monopoly.
Until now, a Shell appointee – currently Ian Craig – has led the Sakhalin Energy consortium. Until last year it was made up of Shell and its Japanese partners, Mitsui and Mitsubishi, but under an initial agreement signed last December, Shell sold half its share plus half the stakes owned by the Japanese to Gazprom. It is understood that as part of the agreement, both Gazprom and Shell will now appoint executive directors. While there is expected to be a balance in the appointments – there are six directors – a Gazprom appointee could end up running the company. A final agreement is expected to be signed by the end of this year.
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.
