Exxon-Shell gas venture may have to adjust Groningen output after court ruling

AMSTERDAM: Wed Apr 15, 2015 6:09am EDT

(Reuters) – Gas production joint venture NAM is studying the impact of a court ruling that halted production at a small part of the massive Groningen gas field because of safety concerns, the Dutch government said on Wednesday.

In a letter to parliament, Economic Affairs Minister Henk Kamp said that NAM may have to adjust production in other areas to compensate for the lost production near the town of Loppersum.

NAM (Nederlandse Aardolie Maatschappij) is a joint venture between Royal Dutch Shell and Exxon Mobil.

Shell starts supplying natural gas to Ukraine

Ukraine will be receiving gas via Slovakia

Royal Dutch Shell will start gas supplies to Ukraine via Slovakia in April 2015, according to Ukrainian media.

The company plans to provide at least 120 to 130 million cubic meters this month at a cost of USD 253 per 1,000 cubic meters.

Ukraine is receiving gas from a number of European suppliers including Statoilgas (Norway), RWE Supply & Trading (Germany), GDF Suez, E.ON Global Commodities (Germany) and other traders.

As was reported earlier this week, Russia does not plan to extend its gas transit contract with Ukraine after the existing deal expires in 2019. Some 40 percent of Russian gas supplies to Europe go through Ukraine, while Moscow has been cutting on gas exports via the neighbouring country.

En route to Seattle, controversial Arctic drill rig will stop in Port Angeles on Friday

En route to Seattle, controversial Arctic drill rig will stop in Port Angeles on Friday

PORT ANGELES — The Polar Pioneer — a huge semi-submersible offshore drilling rig that had been hounded of late in the Pacific by Greenpeace activists — is expected to arrive in Port Angeles Harbor on Friday.

The 400-foot-tall rig owned by Transocean Ltd., may remain in the harbor for at least two weeks while routine outfitting is conducted before it is towed to Seattle.

As of Tuesday, no protests had been organized by Greenpeace activists in or near Port Angeles, but that doesn’t mean they won’t happen.

SHELL TO ACQUIRE BG: IMPLICATIONS FOR THE NORTH SEA

14 April 2015

Shell announced an offer of a £47bn ($70bn) acquisition of BG in the second biggest oil and gas deal on record after Exxon and Mobil’s £51bn ($75.3bn) merger in 1998. Shell and BG expect to make annual savings of £1.7bn ($2.5bn) and the combined company is estimated to be worth £180bn ($266bn). The transaction will create the largest independent LNG producer in the world forecast to produce nearly a fifth of global LNG supply in 2017-18. The other major prize for Shell is BG’s Brazilian oil portfolio of mean total reserves and resources amounting to 6 billion boe and gross production expected to peak at 2.6 million boepd.

YOU'RE A HUMAN BEING AND WORTH MORE THAN A MEAL FROM A DUMPSTER

A restaurant owner left the most heartwarming note for the person who was digging through her trash.

Curator: Eric March

I really hope the person comes back.

Ashley Jiron owns a restaurant in Oklahoma. One day she noticed something odd.

From Katie DeLong, FOX 6 NOW:

“Last week, I had noticed some bags, when I had taken out the trash, were torn open and some of the food was taken out," Ashley Jiron, owner of P.B. Jams, said. “That really, it hurt me that someone had to do that."

She could have done what so many do when they come face to face with someone who is desperate — ignore it, decide it isn't her problem, and move on.
But instead, she posted this sign on the door of her restaurant.

It's easy to forget that more than 600,000 Americans won't have a home tonight. It's maybe even easier to forget that there are over 17 million families in the U.S. who don't have enough to eat or worry about where their next meal is coming from. When politicians talk about cutting government spending, food stamps is often the first thing on their lips.

Too often, we look away from people who are experiencing great pain or need. Too often, we think they somehow deserve it. Too often we can't put ourselves in their shoes.

And that's why these four small words she included in her note...

"You're a human being."

...mean absolutely everything.

“I think we've all been in that position where we needed someone's help and we just needed someone to extend that hand. And if I can be that one person to extend that hand to another human being, then I will definitely do it," Jiron said.

Yes indeed.
