WASHINGTON — Federal antitrust regulators have cleared the sale of a Los Angeles-area oil refinery and 250 retail sites in Southern California by a division of Royal Dutch Shell PLC to independent oil company Tesoro Corp.
According to a notice issued by the Federal Trade Commission, the government has completed its investigation of the sale and ended a waiting period on the transaction.
Tesoro and Shell Oil Products USA announced the sale, valued at $1.63 billion, Jan. 29. In addition to the refinery and stores, Tesoro will acquire an oil storage terminal.
Shell said in January that the sale is part of a strategy to “streamline and concentrate” its assets. The company said then it expects the transaction to close in the second half of this year.
Shares of Royal Dutch Shell rose 24 cents in morning trading to $67.04, while shares of Tesoro fell 69 cents to $97.51, both on the New York Stock Exchange.

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.
