Royal Dutch Shell Plc (RDSA) got permission to drill an exploration well near the World Heritage-listed Ningaloo Reef in Australia after the government decided against referring it for a more detailed environmental review.
Shell, Europes largest oil company, will drill the Palta-1 well about 70 kilometers (44 miles) from the Ningaloo Reef, the Hague-based company said today in a statement.
The Exmouth Sub-basin is an important region for oil and gas production in Australia with existing exploration and production facilities operating safely in the region for many years, the company said.
Shell must follow measures to protect the environment, the Australian Environment Department said on its website.
Shell said in March it expected to drill the well off the northwest coast as early as September.

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.
