Shell CEO says cool on takeovers
Thu May 22, 2008 4:56pm BS
LONDON (Reuters) – Royal Dutch Shell Plc (RDSa.L: Quote, Profile, Research) sees better value in developing its own base of oil and gas fields than buying rivals, Chief Executive Jeroen van der Veer said on Thursday.
“We have a very large resource base … We have more than enough investment opportunities so we focus on that,” van der Veer told Reuters Television in an interview filmed at the Nogaro race track in the south of France.
He declined to comment on whether Shell might bid for either of the oil sands or natural gas businesses that Canada’s EnCana (ECA.TO: Quote, Profile,Research) plans to split itself into.

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.
