[edit] Waste report (POV)
I was there, in russia, five times, 90 days each shift, in the year 2004-2005, working on Sakhalin 2 project for one of the consortium partners, a huge Japanese outfit, on the 48 inch pipeline project. I have seen many pipeline projects in my life, since my job is international pipeline project management, but i HAVE NEVER SEEN SUCH A WASTE, infighting, intrigues, politics, back stabbing, as on the Sakhalin 2 project. I had a total impression that the Shell guys were on a mission to sabotage every constructive effort. To make matters worse, the Shell overseers were located in The Netherlands, they were making operational decision affecting everyday operations without coming even once to the site. As a result, we suffered days and weeks of enormously expensive delays over the most trivial issues, just waiting for someone to make up his mind. Mind you, coming to the site was an enormous task. You needed a visa, flight ticket, reservations, logistics, internal russian permnits (KGB was good at denying them forever), permits from the military (Sakhalin is one huge military base and nobody is allowed to fly to the island). The local Shell guys were just a bunch of drunkards, more interested in drinking all night with their numerous russian girlfriends, usually half of their age. In other words, Shell did not spend 20 Bilion dollars. They spent likely much less than half. The other half they just wasted. Who can be blamed for this stupidity? Go, figure.
