CALGARY–Shareholders of Western Oil Sands Inc., a partner in Canada’s Athabasca Oil Sands Project, approved a $5.8 billion takeover by Marathon Oil Corp.
Investors at a meeting in Calgary today voted 99.3 per cent in favour of the transaction. Canada’s Minister of Industry yesterday approved the acquisition, which is expected to close this week. Western Oil Sands needed the approval of two-thirds of shareholders that participated in the vote. Marathon, based in Houston, agreed to buy Western Oil Sands on July 31, joining such oil companies as Chevron Corp. and Royal Dutch Shell Plc. in seeking to tap the Alberta oil sands found as North America’s traditional oil fields mature and reserves overseas become harder to access.
Western Oil Sands owns 20 per cent of the Athabasca project, which is operated by Shell and expected to produce 770,000 barrels of 0oil. STAR WIRE SERVICES

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.
