iranmania.com: Shell, Repsol not to pull out of Iran
Tuesday, May 06, 2008
LONDON, May 6 (IranMania) – Royal Dutch/Shell and Spain’s Repsol reportedly intend not to capitulate to US pressure by backing away from an energy project in Iran, PressTV reported.
On Saturday, Spanish newspaper Expansion claimed that the oil majors were holding talks with the Iranian government to withdraw from their current development plans for phase 14 of the South Pars gas field due to pressure exerted from the White House.
“I have seen nothing official on that and there has been no reference to that in any domestic negotiations,” Hojjatollah Ghanimifard, international affairs director of the National Iranian Oil Company, was quoted by Reuters as saying.
Repsol had declined to comment to repoters on its gas deal with Iran after the Expansion report was published.
Earlier today, an Iranian official who spoke to Fars News Agency on the condition of anonymity raised the likelihood of a reassignment of the various phases of South Pars among European oil companies.
“These companies–Shell, Total and Repsol–do not intend to cut their cooperation with Iran. They are actually trying to continue their presence in the country’s energy projects and, based on this fact, they have proposed some changes to the phases previously assigned,” the official said.
The United States and its European allies accuse Tehran of seeking nuclear weapons. Iran, however, insists that its nuclear activities are solely aimed at producing electricity for its growing population.
Shell, Europe’s largest oil and gas company, had teamed up with Spain’s Repsol to sign a preliminary deal with Tehran to invest $10 billion in the gas project.

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.
