PARIS (Dow Jones)–Royal Dutch Shell PLC (RDSB.LN) Chief Executive Jeroen van der Veer said Thursday that global oil industry spending this year is likely to fall by more than 12% compared with last year as the fallout builds from weaker oil prices and the global economic recession.
“Our hunch at Shell is that the drop in spending in the industry globally will be more than 12% in 2009 year over year,” van der Veer told reporters here on the sidelines of an energy conference.
He said Shell still expected to spend around $31 billion to $32 billion in 2009, unchanged from the company’s recent announcements. The company’s projected 2009 capital expenditure represents a slight increase from last year.

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.
