On 30 October 2009, we published a leaked email from Frank Willsdon, the General Manager of the Stanlow refinery (above), confirming that Shell is “in negotiations with Essar for the potential sale of Stanlow, Heide and Harburg refineries.” Willson also stated: “For the time being Shell will not be holding discussions with any third party other than Essar…”
Essar Oil operates a refinery in the west coast of India and over 1,000 oil retail stations across India.
There was no mention in the leaked email that the Stanlow refinery might be converted by Essar into a terminal for supplying already refined products from India.
This possibility only became apparent from an Analysts Presentation dated 5 November 2009 (marked “strictly confidential”. To the consternation of Stanlow refinery employees, a graphic displayed on page 35, under the headline “International Distribution Strategy…” indicates that the Essar facility in the UK will be a terminal, not a refinery.
As a consequence, there are major fears among the work force that the Stanlow refinery would be used as a tank farm and refining would stop, with large job losses.

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.
