US energy company Marathon Oil has agreed to sell its 18.5% stake in the Corrib gas field off the coast of Mayo in a deal which could be worth up to $400m (285m).
The stake is being bought by Vermilion Energy Trust, an oil and gas company based in Canada. Vermilion will pay an initial $100m, with the rest being made when the first commercial gas is produced at Corrib. Vermilion says it expects first gas by the end of 2011.
Shell holds a 45% interest in the Corrib project, while Statoil Hydro has 36.5%. An Bord Pleanála is due to finish its oral hearing this week into Shell’s application for a modified onshore pipeline route to bring the gas ashore. read more

SHELL CALLS IN THE NAVY
This is the first time we have been used against civilian protestors, says Navy as gunboat is sent to protect Broadhaven Bay pipeline
By Sandra Murphy
A NAVY gunboat was yesterday deployed to help gardai quell escalating protests by Shell to Sea campaigners at the Corrib gas site.
The Navy admitted that sending in the LE Orla, a 39-man warship, was the first time the Navy had been used against civilian demonstrators.
The gunboat was brought in because protesters had entered the water in a bid to halt pipeline works.
But despite this admission, and claims that the armed forces were being used to ‘crush’ protests, gardai said they were within their rights to call in the warship as back-up. read more

We must all be on our guard when campaigning against such an unscrupulous multinational which spends millions promoting its claimed code of business ethics - honesty, integrity and respect for people - while secretly practising the black arts of deception, infiltration and subversion, in an attempt to crush lawful opposition to its ruthless plans.
