Petroleum and Energy Minister William Duma says the
return of Shell to Papua New Guinea augurs well for the country’s hydrocarbon
industry.

“I’m very proud of what is happening today,” he said
at yesterday’s (Thursday) opening of Shell’s new office at Petromin Haus in
Port Moresby.
“I’m sure it’s good for positive development of our
hydrocarbon industry.
“The government of Peter O’Neill sees the
opportunity to offer incentives to companies who want to invest in this
country.”
Duma said Shell had not wasted time since entering into
a strategic alliance agreement on Aug 18, 2011 with Petromin to establish a
long-term partnership.
“Not even a year has passed and Shell is back
again,” he said.
“Shell, from what I know, has a very good track
record.
“I strongly believe that with Shell, we can go
miles.
“There are many areas out there waiting to be
explored.
“For Shell to come and open an office in the country
tells a lot.
“As the saying goes, ‘fortune favors the brave’.
I see a good future ahead for both Shell and
Petromin.”
