LONDON (Dow Jones)–Royal Dutch Shell PLC (RDSA) said Monday it was making good progress with the Pearl GTL and the Qatargas 4 projects in Qatar.
MAIN FACTS:
-Shell is partnering in both Pearl GTL and Qatargas 4 with Qatar Petroleum.
-Pearl GTL will use Shell’s proprietary gas-to-liquids (GTL) technology to convert some 1.6 billion cubic feet (bcf/d) of gas per day into clean-burning oil products such as gasoil, lubricants base oils and chemicals feedstock.
-Pearl GTL is designed to produce 120,000 barrels per day of natural gas liquids (NGLs) and ethane, and 140,000 b/d of GTL products.
-Shell has now entered into the testing phase at Pearl GTL, having inaugurated plant’s control room.
-Qatargas 4 is to convert some 1.4 bcf/d of natural gas into liquefied natural gas (LNG) and NGLs.
-Qatargas 4 will add to Shell’s current worldwide LNG capacity of 18.5 million tonnes per year (mtpa).
-Qatargas 4 will have a capacity of 7.8 mtpa of LNG and some 70,000 boe/d of NGLs.
-Construction is progressing well at Pearl, with both schedule and budget in line.
-Major construction at both Pearl GTL and Qatargas 4 is scheduled to be completed by end of 2010, with production ramp-up from late 2010 and into 2011.
-Pearl GTL upstream production is expected to reach 320,000 boe/d. Qatargas 4 is expected to reach 280,000 boe/d.
-Once Pearl GTL and Qatargas 4 come on stream, Qatar has the potential to contribute some 350,000 boe/d of upstream production for Shell, and significant cash flows.

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.
