SHELL has confirmed it is in talks with potential buyers for its Geelong refinery.
In encouraging signs for the 600 employees and contractors left in limbo by Shell’s decision to sell the 59-year-old refinery, the company has revealed it has held initial discussions with prospective suitors.
“We have received good interest from prospective buyers and will continue to make every effort to achieve a successful sale,” a Shell representative said.
“We will make more information available at a later stage.”
Shell announced in April that if it could not sell the refinery on certain terms, it would look at converting the site to a fuel import terminal.
The company gave itself a year to find a buyer, with the aim of finishing any sales process by the end of next year.
“Shell has consistently said the sale process is best served by employees, unions and the community working with the company to find a suitable buyer.”
The proposed sale comes as Shell focuses on large-scale sites.
Shell last September shut down its 79,000 barrel-a-year refinery in Clyde, Sydney, converting it into a fuel terminal.

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.
