LONDON (Reuters) – Royal Dutch Shell Plc (RDSa.L) said it was planning a return to robust growth in oil and gas production after years of decline, as it unveiled strong reserves additions that would underpin longer term growth. Europe’s largest oil company by market value said it is targeting output of 3.5 million barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd) in 2012, up from 3.15 million in 2009 — equivalent to an annual growth rate of 3.5 percent.
The Hague-based company has seen its production fall each year for the last seven years.
Shell also predicted growth beyond 2012, underpinned by a new focus on exploration.
The company said it added 3.4 billion barrels in reserves in 2009 — equivalent to almost three times the amount of oil and gas it pumped.

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.
