Paris-based oil giant Total S.A. has reportedly hired Merrill Lynch & Co. as an adviser on a possible bid for Western Oil Sands Inc. (WTO/TSX), according to La Lettre de l’Expansion.
Royal Dutch Shell Plc and Texaco Inc. are also said to be interested in the Canadian company, which has a 20% stake in the Athabasca Oil Sands Project, a Bloomberg News report said, citing the French newspaper.
While a representative from Total declined to comment on the rumour, the company’s shares climbed to a record high on Friday.
In February, Western Oil Sands said Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and TD Securities Inc. would be working as advisors on a possible merger, acquisition or sale of assets, Bloomberg reported.

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.
