MOSCOW, Feb. 8 (UPI) — Royal Dutch Shell could hand some of its assets in Asia over to Russia’s Gazprom in an effort to expand liquefied natural gas options, sources said.
Shell executives are said to be eager to add a third LNG unit at the Sakhalin-2 facility north of Japan. The move would increase output at the plant, Russia’s only such facility, by as much as 50 percent.
The Sakhalin-2 facility started operations in 2009. Shell, which holds a minority stake in the project, said the plant meets 5 percent of the world’s production of LNG when operating at full capacity.
Sources familiar with the possible deal between the two companies said the Sakhalin-2 move follows agreements reached in November to increase bilateral cooperation, reports Bloomberg News.
Both sides, Bloomberg adds, are pondering deadlines for the negotiations but sources revealed little else. Talks in November, sources added, covered oil and gas developments in Siberia as well as overseas work and possible exploration of Russia’s arctic regions.
Russia’s Rosneft and BP reached a deal last month to explore the Russian arctic, though the measure is stalled in a London court.
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.
