SANTO DOMINGO, May 21 (Reuters) – Royal Dutch Shell Plc (RDSa.L: Quote,Profile, Research) will get a buyout offer on Monday for its 50 percent stake in the oil refinery it owns in the Dominican Republic together with the Caribbean nation’s government, Finance Minister Vicente Bengoa said on Wednesday.
He declined to put a price tag on the deal but suggested, based on past discussions with the Anglo-Dutch oil company and an appraisal from Venezuelan contractor Vetra, that it could be slightly more than $140 million.
“We have called for a meeting next Monday with Shell representatives who will be arriving from Houston to make them the offer,” Bengoa told reporters.
The refinery, known by its Spanish language acronym as REFIDOMSA, has been co-owned by Shell and the Dominican Republic since it started operating in the mid-1970s. (Reporting by Manuel Jimenez: Editing by Tom Brown and Christian Wiessner)

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.
