Decision to go ahead with $14 billion project follows years of delay, and signals growing confidence in global gas markets
By Sarah Kent and Sarah McFarlane: LONDON—A group led by Royal Dutch Shell RDS.A -0.33% PLC is pressing ahead with a major Canadian liquefied natural gas project after years of delay, the company said Tuesday, raising competition for LNG developments in the U.S. already under pressure from new Chinese tariffs.
The 14-million-ton-a-year project in British Columbia is the biggest LNG development to gain investment approval in years and the first for Canada. By the mid-2020s, it is expected to start sending massive tankers of supercooled natural gas to demand centers in Asia.
Shell and its partners’ commitment to the project, which will cost roughly $14 billion to construct, signals growing confidence in global gas markets, as rising demand diminishes the threat that new supplies will cause a glut. The project was announced in 2012, but weak prices had pushed back a final investment decision expected in 2016.
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.
