Bloomberg: Sakhalin Energy LNG Facilities Unaffected by Earthquakes

Ben Ikari: $hell's dubiousness in spill reporting isn't new. It happened that the world didn't listen due corporate influence and benefit from cheap Ogoni/Niger delta oil. Ogonis have exposed the crook known as $hell long ago-that's why the company killed Ken Saro-Wiwa thinking he's the only issue left. $hell Oil is a scam and should be banished if those operating it feels they've been bashed so much considering how reckless, corrupt and deadly they are. If the company's management can't show respect and decency for people and the environment as evidence seems to show across the board that they don't. Then the rogue company should cease to operate or exist. How can any good thinking society condone such octopus, anaconda and bloodsucking cult known as $hell?

Ben Ikari: Going by the story titled: "How Shell is trying to send a chill through activist groups throughout the country" and posted to this link. Those who know the crooked and deadly company are aware of the fact this company feels it's good at-intimidating and silencing people. The one group it can't silence no matter the circumstances, and it knows that, is the Ogoni people. Well, I do hope this case mentioned by the referenced story will turn against the company. This way our free speech and rights to protest and petition as guaranteed by the First Amendment can be protected. If to the contrary, America is doomed as a corporate cow, after it fell for corporate influence in Citizens United Vs. FEC, and Kiobel vs Shell (among others), which were both ruled in corporate favor by a reportedly business friendly Supreme Court, which seems to not care about people and their rights, but corporate dominance.

LondonLad: Oh if you guys really knew the story behind OPL245 and the Malabu / Etete angle!!

Relieved: LondonLad: Just for grins I googled 'LondonLad. Hmmm. It is none of my business, but you might want to change your call sign, buddy. Cheers.

Relieved: LondonLad: Where or where have you been ??? We have missed you and your cheerful disposition. Welcome back !!

LondonLad: “Someone once said (and I wish I could remember who)” – I thought it must be you Relieved as you seem to like the sound of your own voice!!! Oh, and if RDS didn’t write down their code of ethics you would be griping about them not doing this.

Relieved: We all know RDS owns Jiffy Lube in the US. Rumor has it that the engine oil sold at Jiffy Lube is not newly refined motor but recycled motor oil. Can any one confirm this ??? If so, I wonder if RDS (Jiffy Lube) is letting its customers know they are getting second hand oil. My guess is that everyone thinks they are buying newly refined motor oil. What ever happened to truth in advertising ?? Sounds like RDS may be engaged in deceptive trade practices. Would anyone be surprised ??? Here is an web advert link by Jiffy Lube about used motor oil : Jiffy Lube® A Second Life for Your Used Motor Oil

Relieved: Someone once said (and I wish I could remember who): 'If you have to write down your code of ethics you have already lost the battle.' That is clearly the case with RDS.

Relieved: RDS management has a serious problem with hubris, but that is common amongst the management of large corporations. However, the lesson of some recent, and now infamous, corporate exec's stuffed with their own self-importance(e.g., those of Enron Corp., etc.) can be found in the line by Socrates - "Those whom the gods would destroy they first make proud."

an old EP hand: Relieved: I know and you are completely correct. But our politically correct pointy haired bosses had lost all rationality in the transformation process. I fear this happens in most big processes.
