* Shell says oil sands mine operating at full production
* Offer to discuss concerns with Greenpeace “still stands”
CALGARY, Alberta, Sept 16 (Reuters) – Royal Dutch Shell Plc (RDSa.L) said on Wednesday its Muskeg River oil sands mine in northern Alberta was operating at full production as an environmental protest at the site entered its second day.
Shell said it has let the Greenpeace protesters continue their action, which is aimed at spreading the message that development of Canada’s oil sands worsens climate change. The demonstration coincides with Canadian Prime Minster Stephen Harper’s visit with U.S. President Barack Obama.
“Our offer to discuss their concerns about oil sands developments and their vision for the energy future still stands. Greenpeace has not yet responded,” the oil major said in a statement.
About 25 activists entered the mine on Tuesday and locked down a massive dump truck and mining shovel. The company temporarily suspended production at the 155,000 barrel a day site, but resumed operations late in the day.
The mine’s other owners are Chevron Corp (CVX.N) and Marathon Oil Corp (MRO.N), with 20 percent each. It is one of four major oil sands mining operations near Fort McMurray.

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.
