It looks like traders are taking the scattergun approach in attempting to predict Shell’s corporate strategy. The oil giant was linked to no fewer than three takeover targets yesterday – Centrica, BG Group and Premier Oil.
So far, Shell has only confirmed it is “taking advice” on a possible bid for Premier Oil, the FTSE 250-listed oil exploration and production group with assets in Europe, Africa and south Asia. Traders said Shell bidding for Centrica would make a more palatable deal for British regulators after the Russian group Gazprom signalled its interest in Centrica six months ago. BG would be, by a considerable distance, the biggest deal of the three, with a market capitalisation approximately 2.5 times larger than that of Centrica and more than 20 times greater than Premier’s.
Traders are certain Shell is mulling a large acquisition. For most observers, the smart money is on Premier Oil, 6.5p firmer at 1,049p, which complements Shell’s existing exploration and production base and, unlike BG Group or Centrica, is unlikely to interest the regulators. Shares in BG climbed 6.5p to 690.5p as talk of an 800p-per-share bid did the rounds, while Centrica added another 5.75p to close at 308.25p, an all-time high closing price. Shell added 2p to 1,896p.

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.
