BP is set to defy demands by the US Department of Justice to provide it with advance notice of key business decisions, setting the oil major on a collision course with the American authorities.
The DoJ wrote to BPs lawyers last month, calling on the company to inform it at least 30 days in advance of any asset sales, restructuring, acquisitions or mergers.
In dismissing the case, Cleland ruled that White had a free speech right to use the company's name, noting that he hadn't created them for commercial gain.

LAGOS, Nigeria
Royal Dutch Shell PLC says it has started producing oil and natural gas from a new project in Nigeria’s southern delta.
Shell issued a statement Wednesday saying its Gbaran-Ubie project will produce 70,000 barrels of oil a day and 1 billion cubic feet of natural gas a day when fully operational next year. Shell says the project took five years to build and encompasses five oil and gas fields across Bayelsa and Rivers state.

The US government has asked BP to be told of any major asset sales or merger deals in advance, as it continues to keep a close eye on the oil giant.
The highly unusual request came in a letter from the US Department of Justice dated 23 June.
BP told the BBC it had yet to respond to the letter.
The company is facing massive clean-up costs and compensation claims as a result of the Gulf of Mexico oil leak, which began in April.

As BP’s future is called into question Who Knows Who investigates the potential predators, and investors, who may be poised to swoop on the beleaguered oil firm following the Deepwater Horizon disaster.
A cold wind blows for chief executive Tony Hayward and his chairman Carl-Henric Svanberg. More than two months since the Deepwater Horizon explosion in the Gulf of Mexico, oil continues to gush into the sea.
BP’s name is mud. The mud, on beaches in Louisiana, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi and Texas, is blackening by the day.

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.

MORE DETAILS: After a solicitor acting for Shell threatened to make the litigation "drawn out and difficult" with the intention of draining the resources of a financially weaker opponent, my late father (Alfred Donovan) and I decided to mount a wide-ranging campaign as a counter-measure. We jointly founded the Shell Corporate Conscience Pressure Group, which nearly 15% of Shell UK retailers joined. We regularly conducted ethical surveys involving up to 1500 Shell petrol stations. All responses were opened and authenticated by an independent solicitor who supplied Affidavits confirming the results. In whole page announcements in trade magazines (examples above) we challenged Shell to commission and publish the resuits of independent research asking the same questions and offering respondents GUARANTEED anonymity. Shell never took up the invitation. Instead it asked the UK Advertising Standards Authority to investigate our Shell surveys. No problems were found.
