LONDON, Feb 1 (Reuters) – Royal Dutch Shell Plc (RDSa.L: Quote, Profile , Research) posted a 2.6 percent rise in underlying profits on Thursday, beating analysts’ forecasts, thanks to higher production and strong oil prices.
Shell said in a statement on Thursday its fourth-quarter current cost of supply (CCS) net profit, which strips out changes in the value of inventories, was $6 billion, helped by profits from selling oil and gas fields.
Exluding non-operating items, the underlying result was $5.5 billion, above an average forecast of $5.216 billion in a Reuters poll of 10 analysts. The second-largest Western oil major by market value, Shell said fourth-quarter production rose to 3.645 million barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd) from 3.5 million boepd in the same period of 2005.

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.
