Financial Times: BP spells out losses from hurricanes
“Royal Dutch Shell, BP’s Anglo-Dutch rival, has suffered extensive damage at its Mars platform, of which BP also owns 28.5 per cent. Shell hopes to have 60 per cent of its usual 450,000 barrels a day of production back on line by the end of the year, though it may not be producing from its Cognac field again until next year. Mr Lanstone calculates that Shell is likely to have lost at least 100,000 barrels a day of production this quarter because of the hurricanes, and 60,000 barrels a day of refined output.”

BP on Tuesday became the first big oil company to put a price on the hurricanes that have ravaged the Gulf of Mexico in recent weeks.
Its loss of 145,000 barrels of oil equivalent a day in production was double the amount expected by some analysts, and means the company will miss its production target of 4.1m to 4.2m barrels of oil equivalent a day, set out in February.
The problems at the world’s second-biggest oil company by market value sent shock waves through the industry, deepening concern of the impact on rivals.
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.
