Shell may process oil sands crude at US refineries
Tue Jul 8, 2008 1:59pm EDT CALGARY, Alberta, July 8 (Reuters) – Royal Dutch Shell Plc (RDSa.L: Quote,Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) may process tar-like crude from its Canadian oil sands holdings at some of its U.S. refineries, rather than at a proposed C$27-billion ($26-billion) plant in Alberta, the head of the oil major’s Canadian unit said on Tuesday.Shell is still evaluating options and the timing for future phases of its Athabasca oil sands project, which now produces 155,000 barrels a day.
The company and its partners have proposed boosting oil sands output to 770,000 barrels a day over the next several years, and two years ago announced plans for an upgrading plant to be built in four 100,000-barrel-a-day stages.
“There’s a range of options being looked at. One potential outcome is that all that upgrading’s done in Alberta,” David Collyer, Shell’s country chair for Canada, told reporters.

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.
