LONDON (Dow Jones)–The Norwegian Petroleum Directorate downgraded total reserves at Royal Dutch Shell PLC’s (RDSA) Ormen Lange gas field by around a quarter Wednesday.
A Shell spokeswoman declined to comment on the scale of the cut. There have been a number of disappointing appraisal wells recently on the undeveloped northern portion of the large field, although this will not affect the reserve volume that Shell has booked under U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rules for the developed part of Ormen Lange, she said.
The disappointing wells on the northern part of the field will affect the future development plan and will have an impact on Ormen Lange’s production profile towards the back end of its life, she added.
The NPD cut its estimate of total gas and condensate resources at the field to 320.3 million cubic meters from 423.3 million cubic meters previously.

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.
