MEXICO CITY, Oct 4 (Reuters) – Mexican state oil monopoly Pemex said on Thursday it had signed a collaboration agreement with Royal Dutch Shell (RDSa.L: Quote, Profile, Research) to pool research and know-how to help them improve production yields.
The noncommercial agreement means the two companies will exchange studies and experiences in areas like oil and gas well productivity and recuperation rates.
It comes within a general cooperation agreement that Pemex and Shell signed in 2004, one of several such accords Pemex has with other oil companies like Britain’s BP Plc (BP.L: Quote, Profile, Research) and Brazil’s Petrobras (PETR4.SA: Quote, Profile, Research)(PBR.N: Quote, Profile, Research).
State-controlled Pemex is barred by Mexican law from forging profit-sharing alliances with private or foreign companies to explore for or produce oil or gas in Mexico.
Most foreign oil companies like to keep good relations with the Mexican giant, however, in case there is a loosening in the future of restrictions on foreign investment in Mexico’s oil and gas sector. (Reporting by Catherine Bremer)

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.
