April 12 (Bloomberg) — GasTerra BV, a gas-trading venture between the Dutch state, Royal Dutch Shell Plc and Exxon Mobil Corp., said 2006 sales rose 25 percent, boosted by worldwide increases in energy prices.
Revenue rose to 18.4 billion euros ($24.7 billion) last year from 14.7 billion euros in 2005, GasTerra said in its annual report published today. The amount of gas the company sold fell to 78.8 billion cubic meters from 80.4 billion, the Groningen, Netherlands-based venture said in its annual report.
The average sale price in 2006 rose to 23 cents a cubic meter from 18 cents in 2005, the company said. The lower sales volume was the result of clients making more efficient purchasing arrangements and the unusually mild weather in the months from September until December, it said.
GasTerra was created in 2004 after the split-up of Nederlandse Gasunie NV, the Dutch natural-gas distribution company, into separate transport and trading companies. Formerly known as Gasunie Trade & Supply, the company was renamed GasTerra in September.

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.
