Iran Pars gas likely for home use, not LNG – Shell

LONDON, May 20 (Reuters) – Gas to be produced from an Iranian field which Royal Dutch Shell Plc (RDSa.L: Quote,Profile, Research) planned to develop before pulling out under U.S. pressure will likely be retained for domestic use, the oil major said on Tuesday.
“It makes gas available which probably Iran may use for domestic use,” Chief Executive Jeroen van der Veer told the Shell annual general meeting on Tuesday.
Shell had planned to develop multi-billion dollar facilities to freeze the gas into liquefied natural gas so that it could be transported on ships, helping Iran meet its goal of becoming a major gas exporter.
Shell is one of the few companies with experience of building such facilities and its withdrawal left industry players wondering whether Iran would be able to develop Phase 13 of the giant South Pars field into an LNG export 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.
