Shell Says Oil's Not Going Anywhere
Bloomberg.com, March 9, 2018: There'll be at least one home still welcoming fossil fuels in the face of a growing threat from cleaner resources, according to Royal Dutch Shell Plc.
Heavy industry relies on hydrocarbons to generate extremely high temperatures and chemical reactions, according to Mark Quartermain, vice president of crude oil trading and supply at the company. Many processes used in iron, steel, cement and plastics factories can't be electrified at all, and even if they could be, cannot be done at a viable cost in the foreseeable future, he said at a conference in Singapore.
A growing body of research is painting a bearish picture for oil beyond the next 20 years, as more electric vehicles hit roads across the globe and engines become more efficient. Rapid adoption could mean demand peaks by the 2030s, according to Bank of America and BP Plc, a prospect that's likely to worry institutional investors in the energy industry. On Friday, the International Energy Agency said oil demand from passenger cars will peak in 2020.

Chron.com, March 13, 2018: Baker Hughes and McDermott International said they're partnering to offer integrated offshore energy services in order to better compete with other growing players like Schlumberger and TechnipFMC.

Their first partnership announced this week is to provide integrated front-end engineering work for British oil major BP's latest West Africa development offshore of Senegal and Mauritania.

That's why Technip and FMC Technologies merged, and why global services leader Schlumberger acquired Cameron International and is now planning a joint venture with London-based Subsea 7.

Sale of Rosneft stake to CEFC in doubt after turmoil at Chinese group
Intellinews.com, March 13, 2018: Russia's major privatisation deal of 2017, in which the country's largest oil company Rosneft was to sell a stake to China's China Energy Company (CEFC), is in turmoil after it appears the Chinese firm doesn't have the money to pay, Bloomberg and Vedomosti daily said on March 13, citing the China Chengxin International Credit Rating agency.
Initially the Russian government claimed that
Rosneft
sold a 19.5% stake to Glencore and Qatar's sovereign fund
in December 2016 for €10.5bn. However, it later became clear that the money raised was actually a loan.
Subsequently, Rosneft sold a 14.16% stake to
China's CEFC
for $9.1bn in September 2017
, the biggest ever investment by a Chinese company into a Russian company.
But now reportedly CEFC is having problems financing the deal. Unnamed sources told Vedomosti that CEFC has to pay $1.8bn by April 1, and the remaining $7.3bn by September 2018.

Royal Dutch Shell doubles lubricant sales in Russia in four years
Reuters, March 14, 2018: TORZHOK, Russia (Reuters) - Royal Dutch Shell, which was forced to limit its presence in Russia's upstream sector because of Western sanctions, has seen its lubricant sales in the country double since 2014, the head of one of its plants there said.Shell launched its Torzhok lubricants plant in Russia's northwest in 2012, with the aim of producing up to 200 million liters a year. The factory plans to reach that capacity in 2027, and currently produces around 90 million liters a year.
"Compared to 2014, we have seen our (sales) portfolio almost doubling," Maxim Solovyov, head of the Torzhok plant, told Reuters in an interview.
Apart from its own lubricants production at Torzhok, Shell imports another 30 million liters per year into Russia from its plants elsewhere to sell them in the region.
After the rouble weakened amid sanctions and lower oil prices three years ago, lubricant production for Shell in Russia became more profitable, Solovyov said, as the company's global costs are in U.S. dollars.

Russia's commercial fleet to grow at 30 to 40 aircraft per year
Rusaviainsider.com, March 13, 2018:
Russia's combined commercial aircraft fleet is expected to grow at a rate of between 30 and 40 airframes per year between 2018 and 2020, Andrey Kramarenko, a lead expert at the Institute for Transport Economics and Transport Policy Studies revealed at the recent MRO Russia
& CIS convention in Moscow.
The strengthening of the national currency is expected to spur demand for long-haul travel, which can lead to a slight increase in the number of widebody aircraft operated by Russian airlines. At present, the widebody segment is quite narrow compared to the country's combined narrowbody fleet, and stands at a meagre 82 aircraft, mostly operated by Aeroflot Group's carriers and charter airlines. Kramarenko believes this number is too low. Last year the share of widebodies in the total number of newly delivered airplanes did not exceed 13%

Record breaking food production in Russia could see exports reaching $40 billion
Independant.ie, March 13, 2018:
Russia is strengthening its position in the global food market with the country's agriculture sector booming. This is largely due to government policy in response to sanctions, according to the Ministry of Agriculture.
"The policy of import substitution has proved its worth in a number of sectors. Talking about agricultural produce, we can say we are self-sufficient. We expect that export potential may double by 2025," said Yevgeny Akhlashev, director of the ministry's food and processing industry department, which expects exports to reach $40 billion.
He noted that, over the past three years, Russia has dramatically reduced imports of sugar (by 73pc), meat (by 36pc), and cheese products (by 29pc), while domestic production in these sectors increased considerably.
Statistics show that Russia's export potential in the agriculture sector has surged 15-fold in the past decade. As a result, exports of sugar have risen 17-fold in the past two years. Vegetable-oil exports have increased by 40pc.

Во все легкие!
Shell.com.ru, 14 марта, 2018: Стартовал совместный проект концерна «Шелл» в России, Бизнес-школы СКОЛКОВО и Bigpicture.ru
Концерн «Шелл» в России, Бизнес-школа СКОЛКОВО и Bigpicture.ru запустили совместный проект «Во все легкие». Наша главная цель - это разобраться, какие факторы влияют на чистоту воздуха в трех российских городах - Омске, Южно-Сахалинске и Самаре.
Для этого мы отправили блогерский десант в Омск, чьи ТЭЦ работают на угле, Южно-Сахалинск, в котором как раз идет переход с угля на газ, и Самару, где уже давно в качестве топлива используется природный газ.
Наряду с фотографиями и экспериментами, мы попросили специализированные лаборатории помочь нам оценить качество воздуха и снега в этих городах. А еще мы решили облачить наших путешественников в белоснежные комбинезоны, чтобы проверить как на практике работает так называемый «метод белого воротничка»: говорят, что в «угольных» городах он может почернеть уже через несколько часов носки.

Месторождения алмазов могут быть обнаружены на юге Архангельской области
Tass, 14 марта, 2018: АРХАНГЕЛЬСК, 14 марта. /ТАСС/. Новые алмазные месторождения могут быть обнаружены в Шенкурском и Устьянском районах на юге Архангельской области. Об этом ТАСС сообщили в пресс-службе министерства природных ресурсов и лесопромышленного комплекса региона.
"В Устьянском и Шенкурском районах области в ходе геологоразведочных работ в относительно небольших по объему пробах были найдены алмазы, в том числе и ювелирного качества. Анализ алмазов показал, что они не похожи на камни, которые добывают на уже открытых месторождениях региона. Есть вероятность, что это новые [алмазоносные] трубки", - пояснили в пресс-службе.
Запасы разведанных месторождений алмазов области оцениваются примерно в 250 млн карат, в год на двух месторождениях имени Ломоносова и имени Гриба на севере области добывается порядка 7,5 млн карат. Наибольшая вероятность обнаружения новых месторождений существует в так называемом Зимнебережном районе на побережье Белого моря.
