Kazakh government vows to halt work at one of the biggest fields of the country developed under PSA – the Kashagan field. The bureaucrats blame violation of environmental laws on investors, including Italian Eni. The analysts speculate that Kazakhstan has become particularly pressurizing in time when it attempts to review the terms of PSA, having actually adopted the tactics successfully tested by Russia at Sakhalin-2 project past year.
The work in Kashagan field, Kazakhstan’s area of the Caspian Sea, could be terminated on the breach of environmental laws by Italian Eni, Environmental Protection Minister of Kazakhstan Nurlan Iskakov told the cabinet yesterday.
“We are conducting a scheduled audit and we have all reasons to suppose that the operator doesn’t meet requirements of environmental laws,” Interfax quoted the minister as saying. The content of nitrogen compounds in atmosphere of the Caspian Sea is above the standard, specified Adletbek Bekeev, who is the deputy director at that ministry’s department.
Kashagan, which recoverable reserves exceed 1 billion tons of crude oil, is developed under PSA. Its operator is Agip KSO, where Eni, Total, ExxonMobil and Shell own 18.52 percent each, ConocoPhillips has 9.26 percent and Kazmunaigaz and Inpex – 8.33 percent each.
The authorities of Kazakhstan have been long displeased with the project investors. The launch of production from that field was initially slated for 2005, but Agip KSO put it off several times and today’s deadline is 2010. Moreover, Eni has recently announced the increase in the project costs from $57 billion to $136 billion. According to Kazakhstan, this move could be viewed as the changes in the PSA terms, enabling Kazakhstan to widen the share in profit-raising crude from 10 percent to 40 percent. Judging by Russia’s methods tested at Sakhalin-2, violation of environmental laws is the best way to pressurize investors.

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.
