BLOOMBERG: Shell Canada 1st-Quarter Profit Rises as Energy Prices Climb
April 24 (Bloomberg) — Shell Canada Ltd., the Canadian oil company controlled by Royal Dutch Shell Plc, said first-quarter net income rose to C$447 million ($393.5 million) from C$417 million as energy prices increased.
Per-share profit climbed to 53 cents from 50 cents a year earlier, the Calgary-based company said today in a statement.
The company was expected to earn 54 cents a share, the average estimate from eight analysts surveyed by Thomson Financial. Thomson has declined to comment on the parameters of its estimates.
U.S. crude-oil futures averaged $63.48 a barrel during the first quarter, 27 percent higher than a year earlier. Gas futures traded 21 percent higher than in 2005's first quarter.
Europe's Royal Dutch Shell, the world's third-largest oil company, owns about 78 percent of Shell Canada's stock. Shell Canada is the fourth-largest Canadian oil and natural-gas producer, ranking behind Imperial Oil Ltd., EnCana Corp. and Petro-Canada.

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.
