MUMBAI, Feb. 18 — India’s Oil & Natural Gas Corp. (ONGC) and Royal Dutch Shell PLC recently revised their joint participation memorandum of understanding for projects to be auctioned in the forthcoming seventh round of India’s New Exploration Licensing Policy VII (NELP VII).
The original MOU was aimed at cooperation in field optimization using Shell’s proprietary enhanced recovery technology and in other areas such as LNG importation, development of coal bed methane, underground and surface coal gasification projects, refinery upgrades, and trading and development of supply chains.
The exploration and production giants have agreed to evaluate jointly setting up surface coal gasification facilities to create synthesis gas for power generation or other uses.
They also plan to jointly explore opportunities for technology induction in field optimization and integrated brownfield development in mutually agreed assets. Shell will provide technical know-how, including operational experience.
Depending on the outcome of a planned prefeasibility study, Shell may commission a detailed feasibility study to evaluate the possibility of taking equity in such projects under a separate licensing agreement. The study would be commissioned subject to Shell’s assessment of strategic and investment synergies with its businesses.
The energy majors also agreed to study the feasibility of gasifying petcoke produced by ONGC subsidiary Mangalore Refinery & Petrochemicals Ltd. (MRPL).
ONGC and Shell would weigh joint business opportunities in such areas as marine fuels and lubricants at select ports and will evaluate the feasibility of Shell’s lifting or buying products from MRPL on a “free on board” basis at New Mangalore Port Trust for resale in international markets.

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.
