BP, Shell may be thinking about getting together
LONDON — BP and Royal Dutch/Shell are thought to have revived plans for a merger to create an oil giant—in fact, the world’s biggest, surpassing ExxonMobil—with a market value of £250 billion ($503.17 billion U.S.), according to a report by The Times of London.
The newspaper said that Britain’s two largest oil companies have engaged financial advisors to discuss terms for a so-called friendly merger that could result in £2.5 billion ($5.03 billion U.S.) of cost savings for the enlarged group.
BP while under Lord John Browne—the former CEO, who said in early May amid financial and personal scandals that he would be stepping down this month—is said to have approached Shell last year about a deal. Those plans are thought to have been reheated under the leadership of Tony Hayward, BP’s new CEO, the report said.
Another report, by The Daily Mail, speculates that such a merger would win approval by government regulators, but that both companies would have to dispose of some assets.

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.
