AMSTERDAM, Dec 20 (Reuters) – Nederlandse Aardolie Maatschappij (NAM), jointly owned by Anglo-Dutch oil giant Royal Dutch Shell Plc. (RDSa.L: Quote, Profile, Research)(RDSb.L: Quote, Profile, Research) and Exxon Mobil (XOM.N: Quote, Profile, Research) said on Thursday it will reopen a 1 billion-barrel Dutch oilfield.
NAM and its 40 percent partner in the project Dutch state owned Energie Beheer Nederland, have made a final investment decision on the reopening of the field near the Dutch eastern town of Schoonebeek, the companies said in a statement.
The Schoonebeek field is the largest onshore oilfield in northwestern Europe, which produced about 250 million barrels between 1948 and 1996, the NAM joint venture said.
Production was stopped 11 years ago as the thick oil was hard to produce with the techniques and infrastructure available at the time.
With new innovations NAM expects to produce between 100 and 120 million barrels over the next 25 years, starting in 2010. (Reporting by Harro ten Wolde; 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.
