DOHA, July 11 (Reuters) – The cost of a joint venture between Qatar and Royal Dutch Shell (RDSa.L: Quote, Profile , Research) to build the Qatargas 4 liquefied natural gas plant will be $8 billion, the Gulf Arab state’s Energy Minister said on Wednesday.
The cost is up on initial estimates of around $6 billion to $7 billion made by Qatari officials when the deal was first announced in 2005.
“The all-inclusive cost will be about $8 billion,” Energy Minister Abdullah al-Attiyah told reporters in Arabic after a signing ceremony for the formation of the joint venture with Shell on Wednesday.
The plant was due to start up late in 2010, said Linda Cook, head of Shell’s gas and power division.

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.
