Western Oil Sands Inc. shares continued to rise on Friday amid rumors the company is about to be sold. The shares, which closed at $33.09 in Toronto, briefly touched $34.60 – within striking distance of a 52-week high of $38.09.
Also fuelling conjecture was an independent evaluation of Western’s senior partner in the Athabasca Oil Sands Project (AOSP) – Shell Canada Ltd. – as Royal Dutch continued to offer $45 a share for the portion of the company it doesn’t already own. Western, along with Shell and Chevron Canada, holds 20 per cent of AOSP, which is currently producing 150,000 barrels of synthetic crude oil per day (bpd).
Western shares gained $1.04 in Toronto on unusually heavy volume of three million units. The moves come on top of an extra $1.32 added on Thursday after the company released an updated reserve report that showed its total mineable resources climbed to 1.5 billion barrels, excluding undeveloped in-situ reserves.
“Part of this process is to evaluate all possible options,” she said, noting that the reserve report reflects the company’s growth potential including options for upgrading and refining its growing oilsands production.

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.
