British-Dutch oil major Shell plans to increase investments in Russia despite losing control of the giant Sakhalin-2 project earlier this year, the company’s CEO said in an interview published on Friday.
“If we see other opportunities for setting up offshore joint ventures, then we will look at them without a doubt,” Jeroen van der Veer said in an interview with the Kommersant daily.
Shell was the operator of Sakhalin-2, one of the biggest private oil and gas projects in the world, but was forced to sell to state-run gas giant Gazprom in April after coming under pressure from Russian authorities.
Van der Veer mentioned as investment possibilities other projects on the island of Sakhalin in far eastern Russia, as well as the Shtokman gas field project in the far north.
Shell is interested in investing “as much as possible in upstream” in Russia, as well as in “profitable downstream,” such as by creating a network of petrol stations in Russian cities, he said.
But the CEO warned that Shell would not be ready to operate as a subcontractor in Russia and said that binding contracts were a key requirement for its investments.

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.
