SINGAPORE (XFN-ASIA) – Anglo-Dutch energy group Royal Dutch Shell confirmed it will invest heavily in a new petrochemical complex in Singapore.
In a statement it said it will build a new ethylene cracker on Singapore’s Bukom Island as part of an integrated refinery and petrochemicals project.
The project will also include modifications and additions to Shell’s existing refinery on Singapore’s Bukom Island and a new mono-ethylene glycol (MEG) plant.
It did not detail exactly how much it will spend, but in an earlier news report the Straits Times quoted Tan Ek Kia, Shell vice-president for ventures and developments in Asia-Pacific and the Middle East, as saying: ‘It is going to cost us several billion US dollars,’
Construction of the ethylene cracker is to begin later this year. Start-up of the new and modified facilities is expected by 2009-2010, Shell said.
The ethylene cracker with a capacity of 800,000 tonnes per annum ‘will be ideally positioned’ to supply the 750,000 tonnes per annum MEG plant as well as other facilities, Shell said.

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.
