MOSCOW, Sept 13 (Reuters) – Royal Dutch Shell (RDSa.L: Quote, Profile , Research) has offered to swap a stake in its German Miro refinery against oil production assets of Russian state-controlled firm Roneft (ROSN.MM: Quote, Profile , Research), a newspaper reported on Thursday.
Vedomosti business daily cited sources close to both firms as saying Shell was ready to cede part of its 32.25 percent stake in Miro, the 310,000 barrels per day refiner in Karlsruhe, but the exact size would depend on the offer of Rosneft.
Rosneft is in turn offering Shell to team up on North-Komsomolsk field in Siberia, which has reserves of 30 million tonnes (220 million barrels). The two firms could also work together on offshore deposits of the Black Sea, which has yet to be explored.
Rosneft and Shell declined to comment on the report.
Apart from Shell, Miro’s top shareholders are U.S. Esso, ConocoPhillips (COP.N: Quote, Profile , Research), BP (BP.L: Quote, Profile , Research) and Venezuela’s PDVSA.

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.
