Dec. 29 (Bloomberg) — Centurion Energy International Inc., the Canadian oil and gas producer that’s being acquired by a United Arab Emirates-based energy company, announced the termination of plans by Royal Dutch Shell Plc to help it explore for natural gas in Egypt’s Nile Delta.
The two companies mutually agreed to end an accord under which Shell would have paid $15 million for a 50 percent stake in two gas blocks, West Manzala and West Qantara, Calgary-based Centurion Energy said in a statement today.
Dana Gas PJSC, which agreed on Nov. 12 to buy Centurion Energy for C$1.15 billion, ($991 million), has its own plans to develop a gas business in Egypt that include West Manzala and West Qantara, Centurion Energy said. The acquisition is expected to close after a Jan. 8 vote by shareholders, the company said today.
Dana Gas on Oct. 1 said it agreed to take a 66 percent stake in Danagaz (Bahrain), which is planning to build a plant in Egypt’s Gulf of Suez to process natural gas produced by state-run Egyptian General Petroleum Corp.
Shares of Centurion Energy rose 3 cents to C$11.93 on the Toronto Stock Exchange. Shell fell 7 pence to 1,785 pence in London, and Dana Gas rose 3.3 percent to 1.57 dirhams in Abu Dhabi.

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.
