Royal Dutch Shell has delayed another Canadian oil sands project, saying it was reviewing its plan to find ways to “improve the project economics by reducing costs and increasing project revenue”.
The company has withdrawn the regulatory filing for Carmon Creek, a plan to expand its Peace River oil sands development to 100,000 barrels per day. A new proposal, involving a different method of extraction, is set to be submitted by the end of next year.
It is the second delay in Canada’s oil sands from Shell, following the announcement last month that it was deferring a decision on the second phase of the expansion of its Athabasca oil sands project, a 100,000 b/d increase in output.
A number of other companies, including Suncor, Petro-Canada, Nexen and Opti Canada, have recently delayed investment plans in Canada’s oil sands, one of the highest-cost areas for oil production in the world.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
