SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic (Reuters): The Dominican Republic will hold an international tender next week to establish a fair value for the 50 percent stake in an oil refinery owned by Royal Dutch Shell Plc, officials said on Wednesday.
The government of the Caribbean country announced last month that it hoped to buy the 50 percent it does not already own in the Dominican Petroleum Refinery from Shell for $183 million. Shell has been seeking a buyer for its stake since January.
“We are not going to give Shell a penny more or a penny less than the fair price for these shares,” said Finance Minister Vicente Bengoa.
Shell’s president in the Dominican Republic, Rafael Maradiaga, reiterated that the price of the stake was $183 million. Company and government officials met on Wednesday to discuss how to conduct the international tender.
Officials at the International Monetary Fund, which have helped the Dominican Republic recover from a deep economic crisis triggered by the collapse of a major bank, have indicated they would prefer to see the refinery transferred into private hands.
The government of President Leonel Fernandez says owning 100 percent of the refinery would allow the authorities to receive all the 50,000 barrels of crude per day offered to them on preferential terms by Venezuela under the Petrocaribe deal.

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.
