Jan. 14 (Bloomberg) — Eni SpA and partners failed to reach an agreement with the Kazakhstan government over stakeholdings in the Kashagan oil field, Eni Chief Executive Officer Paolo Scaroni said, adding he doesn’t expect to return to the central Asian nation “for a long time.”
“We haven’t reached an agreement yet,” Scaroni told Bloomberg News in an interview early today in Astana, the Kazakh capital, after a nine-hour meeting with Kazakh Prime Minister Karim Masimov and the chief executives of companies including Exxon Mobil Corp. and Royal Dutch Shell Plc.
Kazakhstan, the second-biggest oil producer in the former Soviet Union after Russia, has demanded a redrawing of the Kashagan agreement after the Eni-led project was hampered by delays, technical complications and cost overruns that the government claims have boosted the price of developing and running the field to $136 billion. Kashagan, a giant offshore development in the Caspian Sea, is crucial for Kazakhstan to achieve its goal of doubling crude output by 2015.
Kashagan is the world’s largest oil discovery in three decades.

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.
