Senate Committee on Petroleum Resources (Upstream Sector) has kicked against the agreement entered into by Shell and Agip over leasing of some oil fields.
The Senate position came yesterday at a meeting with Shell, Oando, Agip and Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR), at which it investigated operation of Oil Mining Lease (OML) 125 and 134, which are subject of disputation by Shell, Agip and Oando.
The attendance by the oil companies at the meeting followed invitations extended to them last week by the Senate Committee headed by Senator Lee Maeba, sequel to a petition by Oando complaining that Agip was preventing it from operating an OML which it acquired from Shell.
Maeba said DPR is not aware of the agreement by Shell to lease the OML to Oando. He said DPR would have been in the position, as a custodian of the Petroleum Act, which vests operational authority in oil companies, to monitor and guide them on the deal.
Director of DPR, Aliyu Sabo-Benu, said the operating agreement between Agip and Shell in respect of the oil blocks was illegal.
According to him, the DPR is legally mandated to monitor and regulate all activities in the oil industry, and therefore, should be privy to any agreement entered into by any oil company.

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.
