TEHRAN -- “The activities of Royal Dutch Shell Oil Company will be restricted in Iran.” said an informed official in an interview with ILNA (Iran Labor News Agency) adding: “One of the main factors behind the restriction is the probable involvement of the Shell Oil Company in revealing Iran’s classified information including the country’s peaceful nuclear energy activities.”
In response to questions posed by ILNA’s correspondent, Shell Director General, Robert Wiener said: “As part of the plan on regionalizing Shell’s exploration and production departments, the company will transfer some of its staff in Iran which is in line with improving the performance of the company.”
“But the news on the company abandoning new projects in Ira is baseless. Presently Shell is negotiating with Iran’s National Oil Company on future projects, the Persian LNG project in particular.”
