Shell and Exxon say their advances will make tar sands no more polluting than conventional wells in such locales as Texas and the North Sea. Whether that proves true may affect the marketability of crude from Western Canadas tar-soaked bogs, home of crude worth more than $10 trillion at current market prices, the largest oil deposits outside Saudi Arabia.

Shell’s Stanlow oil refinery to stay open
LONDON, Aug. 20 (UPI) — The Stanlow oil refinery in Cheshire, England, will not shut down despite tenders offered by Indian industrial conglomerate Essar, Royal Dutch Shell said.
Essar offered to buy the Stanlow refinery as part of a push by the Indian company to establish a footprint in European markets.
Stanlow is part of a $1.95 billion offer from Essar to acquire three fuel-manufacturing plants in Europe. The two other plants are located in Germany.
Shell is refocusing its investment strategies to Asian markets while Middle Eastern and Asian companies move into the European market.
Australia to Decide on Chevrons Gorgon LNG Next Week
Aug. 21 (Bloomberg) -- Australias government will decide within days whether to give environmental approval for the Chevron Corp.-operated A$50 billion ($41 billion) Gorgon liquefied natural gas project. San Ramon, California-based Chevron and its partners Exxon Mobil Corp. and Royal Dutch Shell Plc won environmental approval from the Western Australian state government earlier this month.


















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.
