MUMBAI (Thomson Financial) – Global oil giants including Shell, Exxon and Chevron are eying a 20-25 pct stake in India’s Reliance Industries Ltd’s (RIL) overseas oil and gas assets, reported the Hindustan Times.
RIL recently hived off these assets into a separate company, Reliance Exploration and Production DMCC. The newspaper quoted unnamed industry sources as saying that an internal team from RIL is working on a plan to sell the stake to a strategic foreign player.
The Indian daily added that a Reliance spokesperson declined to comment and e-mails to Shell and Exxon remained unanswered, while a Chevron (nyse: CVX – news – people ) official merely said the company is looking at all opportunities in the global oil and gas business.
The Hindustan Times said as per RIL’s plan, all the existing oil assets in foreign countries would be under the new entity and the new firm will bid for all future oil and gas assets abroad.
‘The road map for the transfer of assets has been prepared and the divestment plan details are being worked out,’ the newspaper stated quoting an unnamed source.

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.
