ASTANA. Oct 20 (Interfax) – All participants in a project to develop the giant Kashagan oil field in Kazakhstan, including Kazakh officials, on Saturday reached an essential agreement to enlarge Kazakh state company KazMunayGas’ share in the project but did not agree the future size of its share yet, a source told Interfax.
Today KazMunayGas holds an 8.33% share in Agip KCO, the consortium running the project. Project operator Eni holds a stake of 18.52% in it. So do Total, ExxonMobil and Royal Dutch Shell. The share of ConocoPhillips is 9.26%, and that of Inpex 8.33%.
ExxonMobil was the only consortium member to set a condition for enlarging KazMunayGas’ stake. The U.S. company demanded that the production sharing agreement on which the project remain in effect beyond 2041. The source said Kazakhstan would not agree to that.
Agip KCO and the Kazakh government are drafting a memorandum of understanding to make provision for a larger stake for KazMunayGas and for further talks on compensating Kazakhstan for losses caused by a change in the oil price.
Kashagan, an offshore field in the Kazakh sector of the Caspian Sea, contains estimated minimum recoverable oil reserves of 7 billion barrels and total geological oil reserves of 38 billion barrels.

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.
