INTERVIEW-Arrow Energy says near LNG sale deal, Shell keen
LONDON, Sept 5 (Reuters) – The chief executive of Australia’s Arrow Energy said a deal to sell its coal seam gas as liquefied natural gas was “a matter of weeks” away and Royal Dutch Shell Plc was among the potential buyers.
Nick Davies told Reuters in an interview on Friday that Shell could also take a stake in the company which is freezing the gas, LNG Ltd (LNG.AX: Quote, Profile, Research), and that Arrow would likely buy a 20 percent stake in LNG Ltd’s Gladstone LNG project.
Arrow has large coal beds that are rich in natural gas. The company plans to extract the gas for export as liquefied natural gas, which is gas cooled to liquid and transported in pressurised ships.
Arrow has agreed to sell its gas to LNG Ltd, in which it has a 10 percent stake, which will then operate the LNG plant at Gladstone in Queensland.
LNG Ltd has been trying to find a buyer for the LNG and Davies said a deal was expected “soon”.
“It should be a matter of weeks,” he added.
He said a number of parties had expressed an interest in buying the full output of the project’s first 1.5 million tonnes per annum LNG train, which he expects will then be sold into the spot Asian market.
“Shell is in discussions … They’re discussing offtake and project structure,” he said. (Reporting by Tom Bergin, editing by Will Waterman)

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.
