HOUSTON -(Dow Jones)- Royal Dutch Shell PLC (RDSB.LN) said Monday that its West Coast refineries do not anticipate a crude shortage in the near term as a result of BP PLC’s (BP) decision to shut its Prudhoe Bay oil field in Alaska.
The company’s 143,000-barrel-a-day Puget Sound refinery in Anacortes, Wash., does run a fluctuating percentage of Alaskan North Slope, or ANS, crude, like that produced at Prudhoe Bay, said spokesman Stan Mays. But the refinery “has sufficient supply on hand or en route to secure sufficient supply from alternate sources to maintain full operations,” Mays said.
Shell’s other West Coast refineries, located in California, do not generally run ANS crude, Mays said. “They’re currently unaffected in the near term by the situation at the Prudhoe Bay facility.”
However, a California group representing independent gasoline marketers cautioned that the direction of supply to Washington to compensate for lost Prudhoe Bay production could limit supply to California refineries. “An additional issue for demand is whether the direction of alternative supplies to Oregon and Washington will effect California supplies,” said a spokesperson for the California Independent Oil Marketer’s Association.

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.
