Royal Dutch Shell PLC is plunging into Alberta’s oil sands again, saying yesterday that it has acquired another swath of leases to the west of the existing industry.
The British oil giant, parent of Shell Canada Ltd., rocked the oil sands industry in March when it announced that it had paid $465-million for 10 parcels of land in the twice-monthly provincial auction of petroleum rights. Those parcels are well to the west of Fort McMurray, in an area with oil trapped in limestone rather than clay.
Yesterday, Royal Dutch — through a subsidiary separate from Shell Canada — bulked up that acquisition, spending another $101-million for 20,900 hectares. The company got a slightly better deal than its purchase this spring, with the per hectare cost dropping by about 8 per cent. A spokesman for the subsidiary, Sure Northern Energy Ltd., said the company has already drilled one appraisal well, the first step in a two-year program.

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.
