MOSCOW, Nov 26 (Reuters) – The Gazprom (GAZP.MM: Quote, Profile, Research)-led Sakhalin-2 oil and gas project has stopped oil production early after a storm damaged its offshore facility, company management said on Monday.
“Earlier this week due to severe weather conditions production at the Vityaz complex offshore facility… was suspended,” the project, called Sakhalin Energy, said in a statement.
Damage to the buoy at Vityaz resulted in a small oil spillage, and the floating storage and offtake vessel were also disengaged.
“We usually stop production in early to mid December due to ice, but now we’ve stopped early,” Sakhalin Energy’s spokesman Ivan Chernyakhovskiy said.
Sakhalin-2, on Russia’s far eastern island by the same name, usually produces 80,000 barrels per day, Chernyakhovskiy said.
It has estimated reserves of around one billion barrels of oil and 500 billion cubic metres of gas, making it one of the world’s largest combined oil and gas projects. (Reporting by Amie Ferris-Rotman; editing by James Jukwey)

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.
