HUIZHOU (Dow Jones)–A petrochemical joint venture between China National Offshore Oil Corp. and Shell Nanhai BV, a unit of Royal Dutch Shell PLC (RDSA), plans to expand its refinery near Huizhou in southern China by 20% by mid-2010, since demand for its products is on the rise, a top executive said.
Paul Lo, chief executive of Cnooc and Shell Petrochemicals Co., said Tuesday the expansion would add 160,000 metric tons of ethylene to the plant’s existing capacity of 800,000 tons and would require a total investment of around CNY1 billion (US$147 million). He didn’t provide details on the investment.
Huizhou city is home to Cnooc’s first large-scale refinery with an annual production capacity of 12 million tons as well as a $4.3 billion petrochemical joint venture with Shell which produces 800,000 tons of ethylene a year.
Cnooc is the parent of Hong Kong-listed Cnooc Ltd. (CEO).

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.
