BEIJING (Dow Jones)–Royal Dutch Shell PLC (RDSB.LN) hopes to finish the feasibility study of a joint venture refinery and petrochemical complex with PetroChina Co. (PTR) and the international arm of Qatar Petroleum by the end of this year, a Shell executive told Dow Jones Newswires Saturday.
The location of the refinery and petrochemical-manufacturing complex will be in a coastal area of China, said Lim Haw-Kuang, the executive chairman of Shell Companies in China, without disclosing a specific place.
A pre-feasibility study for the project is being carried out and the next step will be doing the formal feasibility study. Meanwhile, an environmental-impact assessment is under way.
The study will be submitted to the National Development and Reform Commission, China’s economic planning agency, for approval.
The three companies signed a letter of intent in June last year to build a refinery and petrochemical-manufacturing complex and marketing its products in China.
The capital expenditure for this project will hit $4.1 billion and the refining capacity will exceed 10 million tons per year, according to an earlier report from China Business News.
Shell and Qatar Petroleum International will each have 24.5% stakes in the refinery and petrochemical facility, with PetroChina having majority control of a 51% interest.

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.
