WASHINGTON, March 14 (UPI) — The U.S. Court of Appeals said environmental group Greenpeace needs to end its campaign of interfering with Shell’s work offshore Alaska.
The court upheld a ruling from the lower U.S. District Court for Alaska. The appeals court said Shell had shown “a likelihood of success on the merits of its claim that Greenpeace USA would commit tortuous or illegal acts against Shell’s arctic drilling operations in the absence of an injunction,” reports energy news site Rigzone.
Shell charged that Greenpeace activists used illegal means to interfere with their arctic drilling campaign.
Greenpeace campaigners in 2010 boarded Shell’s rig Harvey Explorer in the Gulf of Mexico. It was slated for later arctic work. In February 2012, the group employed similar tactics with the Noble Explorer drillship as it prepared to leave New Zealand for Alaskan waters.
Shell’s drilling program in the Beaufort and Chukchi seas last year was hampered by equipment failures and weather-related delays. Its drillship Kulluk struck ground off the coast of Alaska in January.
U.S. Greenpeace Executive Director Phil Radford said Shell’s decision to delay work offshore Alaska amounts to an admission that those echoing concerns about oil and natural gas exploration in arctic waters were right.
There was no public response Thursday from Greenpeace on the court ruling.

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.
