Resource-holders still hold power
Royal Dutch Shell was forced to cede control of the Sakhalin II liquefied natural gas project in 2007 to the state-controlled Gazprom. Shell was stung by Russia's action, but in an interview on the island this week, its Chief Executive Officer Jeroen van der Veer said the company was willing to discuss more projects with the Russian gas monopoly and possibly with other national firms. "If you look at our history, we have many partnerships with NOCs, not only Gazprom," he said.
Shell denies involvement in Ogoni crisis
The statement, which is apparently a reaction to allegation by MOSOP linking the oil giant with sponsorship of crisis in the area, reads in part: SPDC Joint venture is not in any way involved or connected with the reported crisis in K-Dere or elsewhere in Ogoni land, and is not sponsoring any persons or group in any such conflict.

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.
