Russia could become the largest natural gas producer in the world, Ben van Beurden, the CEO of Shell, wrote in an article for RIA Novosti.
“The world needs more natural gas to meet rising energy demand, to complement renewables and to replace coal in power generation. And the opportunity for Russia is huge. It is already the world’s largest exporter of natural gas and it enjoys the world’s largest commercial gas reserves. It is the second largest producer of natural gas. It could be the largest,” van Beurden said.
The Shell CEO recalled that Russia “has done so much with natural gas in very little time.”
The official noted that in the course of the past 20 years, Russian energy company Gazprom had built the Nord Stream pipeline; and in cooperation with Shell it had set up Russia’s first LNG facility Sakhalin 2. At present, the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline project is being implemented, while Gazprom, working in partnership with Shell, plans the new Baltic LNG facility near St. Petersburg, van Beurden continued.
“That is just a taste of what has been achieved in only 20 years. The potential for the next 20 years is even greater. With Russia’s fine track record in the industry, with its superb academic strength driving innovation and with its sheer depth of natural resource, the opportunity is there for the taking. And Russia has the potential to build up an industry which is not only good for Russia, but essential for the world’s push to tackle climate change,” van Beurden argued.
The United States is currently the world’s largest natural gas producer.
On Thursday, the US Energy Information Administration (EIA) said the country’s production of natural gas grew by 10 billion cubic feet per day in 2018, which is an 11 percent increase from 2017, reaching a record high for the second year in a row.
According to the Russian official figures, the country’s natural gas production grew by 4.9 percent year-on-year to 725.17 billion cubic meters last year.

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.
