RPT-UPDATE 1-Qatar, Shell to build China oil, petchem complex
BEIJING, June 24 (Reuters) – Qatar and Royal Dutch Shell (RDSa.L:Quote, Profile, Research), together with PetroChina (0857.HK: Quote,Profile, Research), plan to build a refining and petrochemical complex in China, the companies said.
The deal, signed on Monday in Doha during Chinese Vice President Xi Jinping’s state visit, offers Qatar its first foray into the lucrative Chinese fuel market, following other Middle East countries, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.
The agreement came just two months after a huge gas supply pact reached among the same parties under which China will import 3 million tonnes of liquefied natural gas a year from Qatar and its partner Shell for 25 years from 2011.
Monday’s letter of intent did not give an investment figure, nor the location or timeframe of the proposed multi-billion-dollar venture.
PetroChina, Asia’s top oil and gas producer and China’s second-largest refinery, will own 51 percent in the proposed joint venture, while Shell and Qatar will each own 24.5 percent, said Shell and CNPC, parent of PetroChina.

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.
