OTTAWA — GLOBAL ENERGY REPORTER,
Earlier this month, Royal Dutch Shell PLC announced it is conducting a strategic review of some of its global refining operations, including its 130,000-barrel-a-day refinery in Montreal. Options for the 75-year-old plant include continuing its operation, selling it or closing it and transforming the property into a terminal to receive imported petroleum products.
A year ago Shell abandoned plans to build a refinery near Sarnia, Ont., to handle production from Alberta’s oil sands.
Shell and its partner, Saudi Refining, have also delayed by nearly two years the expansion of their jointly-owned plant in Texas. Other U.S. companies, including Valero Energy Corp., Marathon Oil Co. and ConocoPhillips Co., have also recently announced plans to delay or suspend expansion or upgrading of refineries.
The investment pullback has prompted complaints in U.S. Congress that the oil industry is deliberately restraining capacity to maintain high prices.

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.
