CAPE TOWN, South Africa — Royal Dutch Shell says rising demand means deep-water drilling must continue, but that competitor British Petroleum’s massive Gulf of Mexico spill offers lessons.
At a business and political forum in Cape Town, Royal Dutch Shell PLC ( RDSA – news – people ) chief executive Peter Voser said Sunday: “Given the rise in the population and rise in developing world of energy needs, we will have to develop those resources in deep waters ….”
Voser says his company’s safety guidelines are in line with U.S. proposals made in the wake of the BP ( BP – news – people ) spill.
Voser says, “I think for some companies there will be some learning from this.”
Shell Oil, Royal Dutch Shell’s U.S. arm, has been affected by the U.S. government’s suspension of proposed exploratory Arctic Ocean drilling.

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.
