Shell Reviewing Some Refinery Assets for Possible Sale
AMSTERDAM, Netherlands (AP) — Royal Dutch Shell PLC said Thursday it would conduct a “strategic review” of some refinery assets, an indication it may sell them.
The assets include the Petit-Couronne and Reichstett-Vendenheim refineries and the Berre-l’Etang refinery site complex in France, with a combined capacity of around 300,000 barrels per day, and the Yabucoa plant in Puerto Rico, which has a capacity of 79,000 barrels per day, Shell said.
Shell is also reviewing operations in the Dominican Republic, where it owns a 50 percent stake in the 30,000 barrels per day Refidomsa refinery.
“The assets we’re reviewing are important to their markets, and in fact a number of parties have approached us with an interest in purchasing them as going concerns,” Rob Routs, head of Shell’s refining arm, said in a statement.
“We’re looking closely at how these assets can generate best value for our shareholders. This review is part of our ongoing strategy to streamline and concentrate our … portfolio,” he said in the statement.
Shell said that any sale would require regulatory approval, and that it would update the market “on these strategic reviews as they are concluded.”

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.
