Royal Dutch Shell, the Anglo-Dutch oil and gas group, faces damaging claims over its influence on a supposedly independent environmental audit to determine whether the $22 billlion (£12.1 billion) Sakhalin II energy scheme off the coast of Russia, the world’s biggest oil and gas project, would receive vital bank funding.

Shell to Close Capline Crude Pipeline as Gustav Nears (Update1)

Capline runs 650 miles from St. James, Louisiana, to Patoka, Illinois, and has the capacity to transport 1.2 million barrels of oil a day. Shell’s Houma, Louisiana-to-Houston oil pipeline has already ceased operations. Other onshore pipelines and tank farms have closed, the company said. read more
