Ineos agrees shale gas deal with Shell and ExxonMobil
A deal to supply energy giants Shell and ExxonMobil with American shale gas from the Ineos plant at Grangemouth has been hailed a “landmark agreement”.
The Fife Ethylene Plant (FEP) in Mossmorran will receive the ethane from US shale gas, which is obtained using the controversial hydraulic fracturing “fracking” technique, from the middle of 2017.
It comes after Ineos signed a long-term sale and purchase agreement with ExxonMobil, which owns and operates the FEP plant, and Shell, which has 50% capacity rights.
The FEP, which was officially opened by the Queen in 1986, was the first plant specifically designed to process natural gas liquids from the North Sea.
Is Royal Dutch Shell Plc Making A Big Mistake By Acquiring BG Group plc?
By Rupert Hargreaves | Fool.co.uk: 9 November 2015
Royal Dutch Shell’s (LSE: RDSB) £47bn cash-and-stock offer for BG (LSE: BG) is one of the largest takeover deals ever to take place in the UK. However, the deal is also rapidly becoming one of the most controversial takeover deals ever to take place here. One fund management is now openly calling for Shell to scrap its offer for BG.
Call to reject the offer
It emerged this weekend that Ian McVeigh, head of governance at Jupiter Fund Management and one of the City’s biggest fund managers, has compared the proposed takeover of BG by Shell to the disastrous purchase of ABN Amro by Royal Bank of Scotland in 2007. RBS’s ill-fated takeover of ABN Amro ultimately resulted in the government bailout of RBS and years of pain for the bank.

A senior executive at one of the City’s biggest fund managers has attacked Royal Dutch Shell’s (LON:RDSA) proposed takeover of BG Group (LON:BG), The Times has reported. The comments come after the Anglo-Dutch giant’s chief executive moved to reassure investors last week that the tie-up was still compelling despite the increasingly bearish outlook for oil prices.
Shell’s share price has been steady in early morning trading today, having added 0.32 percent to 1,717.50p as of 08:01 GMT, largely in line with gains in the blue-chip FTSE 100 index. BG Group’s share price currently stands 0.15 percent higher at 1,028.50p.
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.
