The Malampaya Deep Water Gas-to-Power Project was a joint venture of Royal/Dutch Shell, Chevron Texaco, and the Philippine National Oil Company. It proposed to extract natural gas from an offshore well off the coast of Palawan and transport it more than 500km to a refinery in Batangas City, subsequently feeding a pipeline project to meet more than 30% of the power demand for the Philippines.   This case study is a successful example of a joint venture project that implemented an FPIC process. Concerns arose for communities in Mindoro, Sitio Agusuhin, and Batangas City over social and environmental impacts of the project. The social development arm of Shell Philippines proactively engaged with these communities to find mutually agreeable remedies to all concerns both prior to, and during, the development of the project. When unforeseen concerns arose for nearby pearl farmers and fisherfolk, Shell engaged with both groups to address the issues.   Extracted from: Herz, Steven, Antonio La Vina, and Jonathan Sohn.
