  1. The day after we see this already :
    "The source of the one-mile by 10-mile sheen between Shell's Mars and Ursa projects is unknown and not linked to the facilities, but Shell is responding "proactively," a company statement said."

    This was always going to happen too:


    "US natural gas futures settled below $US2 a million British thermal units for the first time since January 2002, crossing the milestone after weak demand and robust production have driven prices down 52 per cent in the past year.

    May-delivery gas on the New York Mercantile Exchange hovered above the $US2 mark for much of the day, piercing the level in a last hour of trading and setting fresh lows into the settlement."

    A very scary story from Shell to Sea :

    "Dogs of war

    In April 2009 Bolivian special forces raided a hotel room in Santa Cruz. During the course of the raid they shot dead an Irishman Michael Dwyer who had worked at the Shell compound in Erris, Eduardo Rozsa Flores, a Croatian-Bolivian fascist and one other man. Two others were arrested. In the following days the Bolivian authorities claimed that the gang around Flores were working to spark a civil war leading to the secession of the gas rich Santa Cruz region. Testimony was given that they had carried out one bombing and were planning a wave of assassinations. Not only had weapons been found in the hotel room but so too were pictures of the men posing with a high powered sniper's rifle capable of hitting a target at 1 km."
