Shell Delivers First Gas From Malaysia’s Serai Project
Yahoo.com: Shell Delivers First Gas From Malaysia’s Serai Project
Friday June 18, 4:40 PM
SINGAPORE (Dow Jones)–Shell Malaysia has begun delivering natural gas from Malaysia’s offshore Serai field to the country’s giant liquefied natural gas plant in Sarawak state, the company said Friday.
Shell Malaysia, a unit of Royal Dutch/Shell Group (RD), is supplying 300 million cubic feet a day of gas from upstream block SK-8 to Shell’s M3 and E11 gas production facilities.
The first gas was delivered June 9, the company said.
Serai was discovered in 1993 as part of the M3 facility that supplies gas to MLNG Tiga – the third of three production units in Malaysia’s 23 million ton-a-year LNG complex, the world’s largest by capacity.
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.
