AUSTIN, Texas Shell Oil Company executives visited The University of Texas at Austin on Friday, Feb. 10, to present a check in the amount of $3,963,250, representing the companys investment in the university for the year.
About $3.5 million of the total was designated for sponsored research. Shell has active research partnerships with the universitys Cockrell School of Engineering, Jackson School of Geosciences and Marine Science Institute. Those partnerships include the Shell-UT Unconventional Research (SUTUR) initiative.
SUTUR is a five-year, $7.5 million collaboration between Shell and the universitys Department of Petroleum & Geoscience Engineering and Bureau of Economic Geology to address short- and long-term challenges facing the growing worldwide unconventional oil and gas industry.
We not only celebrate Shells investment of $3.9 million in The University of Texas at Austin, we also celebrate our mutually respected partnership, said David Onion, the universitys senior associate vice president for development. The world is faced with many serious energy-related issues, and it is good to know that Shell, a leader in technology and innovation, has partnered with UT Austin and its energy-rich research initiatives to provide the world the necessary solutions.
The nonresearch, philanthropic portion of the funding, about $470,000, included Shells support for student activities and programs throughout the year that contribute to its recruiting success. The company recruits employees from the McCombs School of Business in addition to the Cockrell and Jackson Schools. Shell also matched charitable donations from employees and retirees.
Including its latest contribution, Shells cumulative philanthropic giving to the university stands at more than $24.8 million.

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.
