THE HAGUE, Netherlands, July 27 (UPI) — Energy company Shell declared it was open to investing in the Russian liquefied natural gas and oil sector.
Royal Dutch Shell Chief Executive Officer Peter Voser said following the announcement of second-quarter earnings that Shell had a successful partnership already with Gazprom in eastern Siberia.
“From a strategic point of view we are open to further investments in Russia and therefore are looking at opportunities either (in) oil or LNG,” he was quoted by The Daily Telegraph newspaper in London as saying. “We have talked with the various players. Those talks include Gazprom.”
Shell was mentioned as a possible purchaser of BP’s stake in embattled Russian venture TNK-BP before Russian energy company Rosneft entered the picture this week.
Voser said the Kremlin appears more welcoming to foreign investments in the country during the last few years.
“Shell will see what they can do with that,” he said.
Shell reported that profits during the three months ending in June were down $5.9 billion. Voser credited much of that decline with falling energy prices.
Energy prices in recent months have declined in large part because of geopolitical concerns with Iran and the ongoing debt crisis in the eurozone.

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.
