NEW YORK, March 3 (Reuters) – Royal Dutch Shell Plc (RDSa.L: Quote, Profile, Research) and Exxon Mobil Corp (XOM.N: Quote, Profile, Research) are fielding offers for seven producing natural gas fields in the Dutch sector of the North Sea, according to an energy acquisition tracking service.
NAM — a 50-50 joint venture between Shell and Exxon — is selling the fields as well as the associated infrastructure, according to IndigoPool, a Houston-based acquisition and divestiture Web site owned by oilfield services company Schlumberger Ltd (SLB.N: Quote, Profile, Research).
The fields produce about 3 million cubic meters of gas and 900 barrels of oil per day.
NAM announced a similar sale in October. It was not immediately clear whether there was any overlap in the announcements.
The companies could not be immediately reached for comment on the sales.
The North Sea was a vital production area for oil majors like Shell after they lost rich fields in the Middle East through nationalizations in the 1970s.
However, in recent years the big international oil companies have shifted their focus to areas such as Angola, which offer greater potential for discovering large amounts of oil and gas.

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.
