April 16 (Bloomberg) — Russia’s Natural Resources Ministry approved a plan from Royal Dutch Shell Plc and OAO Gazprom to remedy environmental violations at their Sakhalin-2 venture.
“Work to remedy the majority of violations must be undertaken now, since we signed off on this document in a short period of time,” Natural Resources Minister Yuriy Trutnev said in an e-mailed statement today.
Project operator Sakhalin Energy presented the ministry with a plan on March 20. Trutnev said it was “satisfactory” and in compliance with Russian law.
Inspectors from the Natural Resources Ministry uncovered a raft of environmental violations at Sakhalin-2 last year, just as Gazprom was negotiating with Shell and its Japanese partners to take a stake in the project. Shell ceded control of the development to Gazprom in December for $7.45 billion.
Once a final agreement is reached, Shell’s holding will fall to 27.5 percent, with Mitsui & Co. retaining 12.5 percent and Mitsubishi Corp. 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.
