Iraq, seeking to boost power output after years of conflict and sanctions, signed the final accord for a $17 billion project with Royal Dutch Shell Plc (RDSA) to capture natural gas at oil fields.
Shell Chief Executive Officer Peter Voser and Oil Minister Abdul Kareem Al-Luaibi signed the agreement to produce gas that is currently flared off at fields in southern Iraq, in a ceremony today in Baghdad.
Under the 25-year agreement, the government will hold a 51 percent stake in a venture called South Gas Co., while Shell will have 44 percent. Mitsubishi Corp. (8058) is also a partner in the project and will hold the rest. South Gas will help collect more than 2 billion cubic feet (57 million cubic meters) of fuel a day at the Rumailah, Zubair and West Qurna fields in southern Iraq, Deputy Oil Minister Ahmad al-Shamaa said Nov. 16. read more

Dr Shamil Yenikeyeff analyses the reasons for the collapse of BPs Arctic partnership with the Russian state company Rosneft. He argues that the BPRosneft deal was inauspicious even before it was signed due to the history of the Kremlins reluctance to back BP plc in its often uneasy relations with the AAR consortium BPs Russian partners in the TNKBP joint venture. Dr Yenikeyeff analyses the motives of the key players involved and looks at the possible future of BPs involvement in Russia. read more

Louisiana refineries averaged one accident per day in 2010. There was a total of 354 reported accidents which released more than 975,000 pounds and 225,000 gallons of pollution.
Refineries rely too heavily on contract workers. There are simply not enough full-time workers on staff. Deferred maintenance and inadequate safety management significantly contributed to accidents, according to refineries own reports and testimony from the United Steelworkers.
During 2010, Motivas refinery in Norco reported seven accidents involving the same DU-5 unit, resulting in a total of 18,500 pounds of emissions. The largest accident happened in January, when a fire resulted in the shutdown of three refinery units, one worker injury and more than 17,000 pounds of toxic air emissions, including sulfur dioxide. read more

From a Shell Insider: …Malcolm Brinded is certainly lying when he states that he did not know: Mon 20 Feb 2006 04:27 AM EST
Mr Donovan
After reading some contributions to your site of insiders it made me decide to share something with you and your readers. Perhaps you see it fit to publish, I have no other avenue to vent my frustration and very deep anger.
Of late the networks have highlighted the treatment of prisoners by Americans in their prisons for presumed terrorists. At least to me it has become very clear that there has been a fundamental flaw in the command structure of the armed forces. And I am cynical enough to believe this flaw was designed and knowingly created by the ‘brass’ and top politicians. read more

An indication of a fault that led to a North Sea helicopter crash in which 16 men died had not been recognised just a week earlier, a report has found.
All 14 passengers and two crew lost their lives in April 2009 when the Bond Super Puma came down off Peterhead.
The Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) said an indication of gear degradation had not been picked up on.
There was a “catastrophic failure” of the main rotor gearbox as a result of a fatigue fracture, it said. read more

Links: Blair and Gadaffi pictured in 2007 – will he be squirming regarding Saif’s capture?
By REBECCA EVANS and TOM KELLY
Last updated at 1:28 PM on 21st November 2011
Tony Blairs close relationship with the Gaddafi family was yesterday dismissed by an ally as a mere lapse of judgment.
Lord Goldsmith, who served as Mr Blairs Attorney General for six years, said that cosying up to Colonel Gaddafi was trivial when compared with the crimes of the former Libyan dictators bloody regime.
His comments followed claims that the capture of the tyrants playboy son Saif could cause acute potential embarrassment for Britains political elite. read more

The release happened after Blair’s notorious “deal in the desert” with Muammar Gadaffi paving the way for multi- million-pound oil contracts with Shell and BP.

THE SUNDAY TIMES
Headline: Gadaffi son may spill British secrets
Sunday 20 November 2011
Marie Colvin and Dipesh Gadher
THE London-educated Saif al-Islam Gadaffi, 39, always denied that he played an active role in politics, but he holds the key to the secrets of his father’s despotic regime.
His trial could prove deeply embarrassing if he chooses to reveal details of his once-cosy relations with British politicians including Tony Blair and Peter Mandelson, the former business secretary.
Mohammed al-Alagi, Libya’s interim justice minister, said yesterday that Gadaffi will be placed on trial in Libya and faces the death penalty. read more
