LAGOS, Nigeria — Royal Dutch Shell PLC is warning Nigerian authorities that $40 billion of planned investments in the country could be jeopardized if lawmakers pass a new law overhauling the petroleum industry.
A Shell spokesman said Thursday that investments in offshore well sites are on hold as lawmakers discuss the Petroleum Industry Bill. Foreign oil majors warn the bill will cut deeply into their profits, while Nigerian authorities say the proposed law gives more money back to the oil-rich nation.
Shell, the company that discovered oil in the West African nation more than 50 years ago, has led a very vocal opposition to the bill. However, the bill appears to have faltered in recent months after the long illness and death of President Umaru Yar’Adua.

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.
