March 8 (Bloomberg) — Royal Dutch Shell Plc has offered about A$3.3 billion ($3 billion) for Arrow Energy Ltd. to take control of the company’s gas assets in Australia’s Queensland state, the Australian Financial Review reported, without saying where it got the information.

“We will resume talks with Shell after the election,” the minister, Hussain al-Shahristani, said after he cast his vote in the country’s second full parliamentary election since the 2003 U.S.-led invasion. “The Shell contract is in its final form after Shell accepted our remarks and demands.” read more

U.S. Enriches Companies including Shell, Defying Its Policy on Iran

Royal Dutch Shell signed an $800 million deal in 1999 to develop two huge oil fields expected to produce 190,000 barrels a day, and while that project was completed in 2005, it continues to receive payments as a result of its work. Shell has a second Iranian natural gas development projects in the works, but officials said they are awaiting the results of a feasability study before determining whether they will go forward with it. In the meantime, the company continues to supply oil lubricant to Iran, and until recently, had been a large supplier of gasoline to Iran. Shell is also a huge supplier of gasoline to the American military, won drilling rights in the Gulf of Mexico and in the Western United States, and shares with a company in China a $200,000 Export-Import Bank loan to build a petrochemical plant in that country. A Shell spokesman, David R. Williams, said that while the company would comply with any new international sanctions, Shell's activities are not prohibited by European countries, adding that when the rules of different countries conflict "it makes compliance difficult."
