When an Eni-led consortium walked out of yesterday’s Yukos auction with a bundle of prime gas assets for a knockdown price of just $5.83bn, it came as little surprise to hear soon afterwards that Gazprom would take control.

The deal – in which Eni agreed to buy a 20 per cent stake in Gazpromneft and three gas producers – gives the Italian energy major for the first time direct access to Russia’s vast reserves. read more

When I first met with John Monaghan during my time in Ireland, the first thing he mentioned was the pollution of the local water supply which was coming directly from the Shell/Statoil Corrib Gas Project at Bellanaboy Bridge.

This has been reported before on Indymedia.ie. Now their latest reports are starting to point to what we uncovered whilst out there.

In order to construct the refinery foundations 500,000 tons of wet Atlantic peat must be removed. Shell started this but halted operations when high-aluminium content “doib” soil was exposed. The aluminium made contact with on-site surface water and proceeded to contaminate surrounding streams and rivers, all of which lead to Carrowmore Lake, the drinking water supply for over 10,000 residents in the Erris community. read more

LAGOS, Nigeria, April 4 — A year after being forced to shut more than half of its oil operations in Nigeria because of militant violence, Royal Dutch Shell says that it has reached an agreement with local communities allowing it to return safely to the Niger Delta and that it expects to resume full production within five to six months.

Shell lost about 500,000 barrels a day in production from its fields in the western part of the oil-rich delta after a rebel group called the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta, or MEND, attacked several production and export operations in early 2006, forcing their closings. Since then, continuing violence in the region has curtailed up to a fifth of Nigeria’s total oil production. read more

April 4 (Bloomberg) — Royal Dutch Shell Plc’s 420,000- barrel-a-day Pernis refinery in Rotterdam had to shut down several units earlier today because of a power outage, a spokesman said.

The Pernis refinery is Europe’s largest. Shell, the biggest oil company in Europe by market value, suffered a power outage at Pernis in July 2005 that forced the company to curb production there for four days. read more

ABUJA—Two Lebanese construction workers, a British oil worker and a Dutch security manager kidnapped in Nigeria’s oil-producing Niger Delta have been released, officials and industry sources said on Wednesday.

Kidnappings for ransom or to press for benefits from oil firms are common in the lawless delta, which accounts for all oil production from Nigeria, the world’s eighth-biggest exporter of crude.

After Wednesday’s releases, there are now no more foreign hostages being held in the Niger Delta. read more

April 4 (Bloomberg) — The Russian government will consider within two months draft legislation to legally restrict foreign ownership of companies in strategic industries, including energy and metals.

The bill will set up a commission chaired by the prime minister to reject foreign bids for majority stakes in Russian companies across 40 industries deemed essential to national security, said Vladimir Taraskin, head of the Energy Ministry’s legal department.

The legislation comes after Royal Dutch Shell Plc and its partners agreed in December to sell a majority stake in the offshore Sakhalin-2 oil and gas project in the Russian Far East to state-controlled OAO Gazprom. After the sale, threats to cancel key permits for violations of environmental laws stopped. read more

Italy’s energy giants Eni and Enel have won the latest auction of assets from bankrupt Russian oil firm Yukos.

Their jointly owned unit, Enineftegas, has paid 151.5bn roubles ($5.8bn; £2.9bn) for Yukos’ gas production firms Arcticgas and Urengoil.

The winning bid trumped rival offers, including one from Rosneft, Russia’s state-controlled oil firm.

More Yukos assets will be auctioned in May. The firm went bankrupt last year after massive back tax demands.

Enineftegas’ winning bid also secured it Yukos’ 20% stake in Gazprom Neft, the oil-producing arm of Russia’s state-controlled gas company Gazprom. read more
