THE APPEARANCE of a substance suspected to be kerosene oil in a freshly dug well in Oistins, Christ Church, has refuelled concerns of the Southern Farmers Group about leakage from an abandoned Shell Oil Company pipeline.
“This is not just a Southern Farmers’ problem,” president of the group Jacquelyn Bartlett told the Press yesterday at Scarborough in Christ Church. “This is a national problem that could adversely affect our tourism and fishing industries.”
The 12-foot well was dug by the Urban Development Commission.
The Southern Farmers Group believes the substance found there is seepage from the pipeline and appealed to Government to settle the 13-year-old dispute about damage to the environment.
They lit a sample of the substance to prove its flammability.
However, public relations consultant for Shell, Carol Smith, told the WEEKEND NATION the aviation pipeline was “decommissioned” in 2006, evacuated and concrete filled and could no longer be associated with leakage.
Shell formerly transported aviation fuel from a terminal at Oistins to Grantley Adams International Airport and in 1995 accepted liability for leakage in the Gibbons Boggs area in Christ Church.
The farmers are yet to be compensated for damage to their lands.
They now contend the surrounding natural environment, including potable water, the popular Miami Beach and the wider open sea could be seriously damaged.
Spokesperson for the group, Arrindel Evelyn said: “As far as evidence from testing done by Shell and BADMC (Barbados Agricultural Development and Marketing Corporation), they realise that the oil was moving out of the agricultural zone and into the coastal zone region. This is now developing into an ecological problem that would affect our fishery and tourism industry.”
Owner of Peach and Quiet Hotel in Inch Marlow, Adrian Loveridge, who was on hand, also expressed distress on the findings.
“As the kerosene is spreading there is danger of it going into the sea, killing the marine life and affecting tourism, which we’re dependent on. It’s a case of stopping it now before it gets out of hand.”

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.
