Donovan interventions in Sakhalin-2 Project
By John Donovan
Below is a compilation of information put together for certain third parties. It all relates to our involvement in the Sakhalin-2 project which led to Shell’s loss of its ownership stake and the resignation of David Greer. We have published for the first time the correspondence file relating to Oleg Mitvol, the so called “Kremlin Attack Dog”.
There are also 218 pages of related information released to us by Shell as a result of a Data Protection Act application. There is a great deal of repetition within the six relevant files, but there is also some interesting Shell internal correspondence relating to the Donovan’s and this website. It includes an email to David Greer, the then Project Director and Deputy CEO of Sakhalin Energy Investment Company. The handwritten numbering at the right hand foot of the documents was added by us. All are pdf files and patience is needed when downloading.
