The Wall Street Journal: Eni Delays May Lead to New Fines
May 13, 2008; Page B4
Kazakhstan’s government said it may slap new fines on the Eni SpA-led consortium developing the Central Asian country’s massive Kashagan oil field after the group informed the government of a fourth delay to starting production.
“We have been notified by Eni about the delays, and we’re evaluating possible sanctions, but no final decision has been taken by the government,” a senior Oil Ministry official said.
The consortium, which includes Exxon Mobil Corp. and Royal Dutch Shell PLC, has proposed postponing the start of production to 2012-13 from 2011, Kazakh Energy Minister Sauat Mynbayev said Monday, according to the Interfax news agency. “We’re trying to come to an agreement again,” he said.
The project was originally expected to start in 2005. The consortium continues to suffer setbacks because of the project’s complexity.
An Eni spokesman declined to comment. Some analysts said the latest apparent setback wasn’t a surprise. “A lot of people in the financial community didn’t believe in the 2011 start date,” said David Stedman, an analyst with Daiwa.

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.
