SINGAPORE (XFN-ASIA) – Royal Dutch Shell PLC subsidiary, Shell (China) Ltd, said it will build a lubricants blending plant in Zhuhai, Guangdong Province, which be the oil giant’s sixth such plant in China.
The plant, to be one of the three biggest lubricants blending plants for Shell worldwide, is expected to start operations in 2009 with an initial capacity of 200 mln liters annually, which will later increase to 400 mln.
No financial details were given.
David Pirret, executive vice president of Shell’s lubricants arm, said China is the fastest growing lubricant market in the world and is the firm’s second largest market outside of the US.
‘It is expected to grow 6 pct year-on-year until 2010,’ Pirret said at a media briefing.
‘By investing now in new world-scale production capacity, we are well positioned to meet the future needs of lubricant customers in this thriving region,’ he said.
Apart from the new plant in Zhuhai, Shell will also double the production capacity at its Tsing Yi lubricants blending plant in Hong Kong to 120 mln liters a year, and raise the capacity at its Tianjin and Zhapu plants in China by 20 pct within this year.
Over the next 12-18 months, Shell will also expand the production capacity of its grease manufacturing plants in Thailand, the Philippines and Singapore.
Shell said it currently has a 10 pct market share of Asia’s lubricant market of about 12 mln tonnes.

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.
