MOSCOW (AFX) - Royal Dutch/Shell will be at the top of a blacklist of
foreign oil companies that could lose their operating licences for failing to
fulfil their obligations, Natural Resources Minister Vitali Artyukhov was cited
as saying by Interfax.
"It is time to shed light on matters and distinguish between genuine
investors who put their money into the Russian economy in their own interests
and ours -- and those who are happy to sit on their allotted resources like a
dog in the manger," he said.
Royal Dutch/Shell, which still has not developed the Salym underground
oilfield after ten years, will be at the head of the list, Artyukhov said.
"The operating licence has not been applied and warnings from the ministry
have been ignored. In any other country, the company would have had its licence
withdrawn within weeks," the minister said.
ChevronTexaco and ExxonMobil, which are involved in the Sakhalin-3 field,
are also among the worst offenders, he said.

LONDON (AFX) - Royal Dutch/Shell Group is expected to boost investment in
Russia and Central Asia to about 8 bln usd by 2008, the Wall Street Journal
reported.
Shell's investment in Russia will surge from current spending, which the
company estimates will be about 1.5 bln usd this year, said Walter van de
Vijver, Shell's chief executive for exploration and production.
The 8 bln usd investment estimate for 2008 includes existing projects only,
the paper said.
The increase will position Russia and Central Asia as one of Shell's core
geographic regions, eventually representing about one-fifth of the company's
portfolio, Van de Vijver said.
Van de Vijver added that there was room for potential new projects and
acquisitions in Russia and Central Asia.

BEIJING (AFX-ASIA) - Royal Dutch/Shell Group has signed four new licenses
authorizing use of its coal gasification technology by major fertilizer plants
in China, including facilities of China Petrochemical Corp (Sinopec Group).
Shell said in a statement its technology will likely be used to produce
synthetic gas as feedstock for the four plants in the southwestern province of
Yunnan, the central province of Hubei and the eastern province of Anhui.
Two licenses are for new fertilizer plants to be built in Yunnan, with an
expected annual ammonia production of 500,000 tons each.
The other two licenses are for existing fertilizer plants owned by Sinopec
in Zhijiang city in Hubei province, and Anqing city in Anhui province, which are
currently using naphtha as feedstock.
Coal gasification is a process for converting coal partially or completely
to combustible gases. After purification, these gases -- carbon monoxide, carbon
dioxide, hydrogen, methane, and nitrogen -- can be used as fuels or as raw
materials for chemical or fertilizer manufacture.
Shell's coal gasification process is a clean way of using coal with the
environmental performance of the product similar to natural gas.
Heng Hock Cheng, managing director of Gas and Power for Shell China, said:
"This is a significant step forward for Shell's coal gasification technology in
commercial application in Asia. Shell's process enables the use of China's
abundant coal reserves in a cleaner and more environmentally sustainable way."
Shell has previously licensed its technology to two other companies in Hubei
and the southern province of Guangxi.
In addition, Shell has a 50-50 joint venture with Sinopec in Yueyang in the
southern province of Hunan, to build a coal gasification plant with a daily
production of 2,000-tons to supply synthetic gas as feedstock to the Sinopec
Baling Fertilizer Plant.
Construction of the plant is now in progress.

COPENHAGEN (AFX) - The AP Moeller-Maersk group has offered to pay an
additional 2 bln dkr per year in taxes from its oil and gas activities as of
next year in a bid to win an extension of its North Sea concessions from the
Danish government, daily Boersen reported.
The newspaper cited sources close to the government as saying AP
Moeller-Maersk would consider such a sum a reasonable exchange for securing an
extension to the concessions for its Dansk Undergrunds Consortium affiliate when
they expire in 2012.
The Royal Dutch/Shell Group and ChevronTexaco Corp also hold stakes in DUC.
AP Moeller-Maersk and the government began talks on the issue last week
following demands from politicians that profits from oil operations should be
taxed at a higher rate.
An agreement could be effective from Jan 1, but Economy Minister Bendt
Bendtsen wants to secure support for the plan from two other parties, the Social
Democrats and the Danish Peoples' Party, before ratifying it, the daily added.
Plans for the state to take a stake in DUC have been postponed, it added.

LONDON (AFX) - BP PLC and Anglo-Dutch oil giant Royal Dutch/Shell Group are
hoping to enter oil and/or gas projects in Iraq, newspapers reported.
The Sunday Times newspaper cited leaked documents showing Shell's hopes for
Iraqi oil and gas deals, while the Sunday Independent reported both BP and Shell
have been invited by the interim Iraqi government to invest in redeveloping the
country's war torn oilfields.
No one at either BP or Shell could be reached immediately for comment.
According to the Sunday times, Shell has sent out a 29-page briefing
document to a group of consultants asking them to pitch for the job of assessing
the risks and opportunities of working in the region.
The findings will be used as a guide for Shell International Exploration and
Production in making a decision about whether working in Iraq will compromise
the company's business principles and reputation, the paper added.
Shell identified two fields in the paper -- the Halfayah in the southeast
and the Kirkuk field in the north -- as areas of interest, said the Sunday
Times.

[hectorp] 22/9/2003 08:28

Its down a little on a weak day... But I wonder if this is due to the falling dollar affecting earnings when viewed from a sterling viewpoint? or the two rig deaths , Shel looks a bit careless?

LONDON (AFX) - Royal Dutch Shell/Group has emerged as one of the potential
buyers for Anadarko, a 12 bln stg US oil exploration and production company, the
Sunday Times newspaper reported without citing sources.
Anadarko has reportedly hired Credit Suisse First Boston to look at options
for the business following the heavy losses in its share price last week.
The US group has repeatedly played down speculation that it is looking for a
buyer but last week, Richard Sharples, the senior vice president, has said that
it would "make the best decision for shareholders", the article said.
A spokesman at Shell declined to comment, referring to the report as
"speculation".

LONDON (AFX) - Royal Dutch/Shell Group said it is at present not planning to
bid for the massive Azadegan project in Iran.
Azadegan, located in southern Iran, is considered to be the country's
biggest oil field with potential reserves of around 26 bln barrels of crude oil.
A Shell spokesman said the group, which serves as a consultant to the
Japanese consortium developing the field, has no intention of acquiring a stake
in the project at the moment.
"The Japanese consortium will first have to negotiate and sign an agreement
with the National Iranian Oil Co before they can nominate their partners. Only
then will we consider whether or not to join them," he said.
A team of Japanese companies, including Tomen Corp, Japanese Petroleum
Exploration Co and Inpex Corp, won the preferential rights to develop the field
in November 2000.
But the conclusion of the contract has been delayed, mainly due to Japan's
fear that Iran is developing nuclear weapons. The US is also said to be exerting
pressure on Tokyo to go slow on the discussions on the 2.8 bln usd project.
A meeting regarding the project was held in Tehran on Sept 16.
"Shell did not attend that meeting," the spokesman added.
Japanese newspaper Daily Yomiuri reported that the Iranian government,
frustrated by the delays in the talks with the Japanese consortium, is planning
to invite Shell, France's Total, China's Sinopec Corp, and other several major
oil companies to develop the field.
Quoting sources, the newspaper said Tehran has "unofficially" notified Tokyo
that it will not be invited to join the fresh tender for the project. mbe/lam

short term supply and demand may also be a reason.
