Royal Dutch Shell plc (NYSE:RDS.A) plans to establish a strong footing in the natural gas sector. In April 2015, the company finalized its $70-billion deal with BG Group plc (OTCMKTS:BRGYY). If approved by the regulatory authorities, the merger will give Shell access to BG Group’s valuable assets in Brazil and several other countries.
According to Reuters, Shell has purchased the European gas and power trading book from Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS). The acquisition is expected to help the company achieve a strong footing in gas industry. In addition to the BG deal, the company is also colluding with Russia’s Gazprom OAO (OTCMKTS:OGZPY). Currently, Gazprom is considered the world’s top gas producer.
Reuters reported that on Friday, Shell signed a binding sales and purchase agreement for Morgan Stanley’s portfolio. In regard to the issue, Shell said: “Comprising predominantly physical and financial gas and power trades, the deal further expands Shell’s activities in core energy markets across Europe.”
Morgan Stanley aims to slowly move out of the gas sector. The financial holding company faces several problems, such as regulations to limit banks’ proprietary trading in oils and metals markets. Recently, it also suffered from the sanctions imposed on Russia by the West, and was forced to sell its oil trading business to Castleton. The sanctions caused the deal between Morgan Stanley and Russia’s Rosneft Oil Co. (OTCMKTS:RNFTF) to collapse.
Shell shares closed 2.56% on Friday at $56.84, while Morgan Stanley shares were up 1.42% at $38.64.

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.
