The new venture located in Gbaran in the southern Baleysa state was made public on the sidelines of an annual oil and gas conference in the administrative capital of Abuja.
Newly-appointed head of state oil firm Mohammed Barkindo signed the agreement with Mutiu Sunmonu, the head of the Shell Petroleum Development Corporation.
It is the single largest deal Shell has reached with Nigeria in the past year, said Shell.
“It is a practical demonstration of commitment to the oil and gas industry in Nigeria,” Sunmonu said.
Neither party gave any figures on the plant’s capacity or expected start up date.
Sunmonu said despite the state of security in the Niger Delta, Shell is prepared “to continue to work with government at all levels to make sure that we can indeed ensure the security of lives and property in the areas of our operation.”
“We believe that if all the stakeholders are committed to working together to solving the situation, there will be solution at the end of the day and that is why we have not chickened out,” Sunmonu said.
Nigeria claims to have gas reserves of about 187 trillion cubic feet ranking it number seven in the world.
Attacks on oil installations and workers in the Delta have reduced Nigeria’s oil production by about a quarter since 2006.
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.
