Aug. 12 (Bloomberg) — A venture owned by Exxon Mobil Corp. and Royal Dutch Shell Plc, the world’s largest oil companies, spilled 1,050 gallons of oil at a California well today, the Governor’s Office of Emergency Services said.
The oil spilled about 11:45 a.m. local time after a flow line leaked at a well in Fresno County operated by Aera Energy LLC, the state agency said on its Web site. Bakersfield-based Aera is owned by Exxon and Shell.
The spill has been contained and didn’t contaminate drinking water supplies or waterways in the area, the emergency services agency said. A phone message left at Aera’s corporate office wasn’t immediately returned.
Aera is the second-largest oil producer in California, after Chevron Corp., according to the state’s Department of Conservation. Aera pumps 185,000 barrels of crude and 67 million cubic feet of natural gas daily.
The company was formed in 1997 when Shell, Atlantic Richfield Co. and Mobil Corp. combined their California exploration and production businesses. Mobil was acquired by Exxon in 1999.

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.
