TEHRAN (Reuters) – Iran has sold 12 million barrels of crude oil it had been storing at sea because of a lack of buyers, with Royal Dutch Shell and India taking most of the oil, an oil official told an Iranian newspaper on Wednesday.
Iran sold the 12 million barrels of heavy crude from its Soroush and Nowrouz Gulf oil field over the last two months, the official was quoted as saying.
Shell in Tehran was not immediately available to comment on the purchase and Shell in Europe declined comment.
Mahmoud Baharvand, head of import and export co-ordination at the Iranian Offshore Oil Company, said the heavy crude had needed to be stored owing to a lack of demand.
“Twelve million barrels of Soroush and Nowrouz oil that was stored on eight tankers plus Sourena (another tanker) has been supplied to the market inside and outside of Iran in the last two months,” he told the Jahan-e Eqtesad daily.
“India and Shell, that was the main contractor for the development of these fields, were the main customers,” he added.
He added there were three million more barrels on tankers. He said they were for “emergency usage”, but did not explain.
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.
