SKYNEWS: SHELL FACES TAKEOVER BID: “insiders claiming French oil company Total is planning a raid.”
Posted 15 August 04
Beleaguered oil giant Shell is preparing for a takeover bid, with insiders claiming French oil company Total is planning a raid.
Shell, the Anglo/Dutch group, is worried that Total is the only firm capable of gaining regulatory approval for a buy-out.
Total’s chief executive Thierry Desmarest is understood to be keen to expand the company’s market presence through a merger or acquisition.
Total has a market cap of £68bn compared with Shell’s £94bn.
Shell bosses have previously admitted the need to boost its oil reserves.
But acquisitions have been out of the question, due to soaring oil prices resulting in a reluctance to sell by potential targets.

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.
