MEXICO CITY – “We’re not here to go unnoticed,” said an executive in Mexico of the multinational oil giant Shell, which this year will open its first gas stations in this country, now that the state monopoly in the nation’s energy sector has come to an end.
“Shell operates in over 70 countries and we have more than 43,000 Shell-brand gas stations worldwide… Wherever we are, we play a relevant role and now we’re here to play a relevant role on the Mexican market,” Andres Cavallari, director of downstream operations (refining and marketing) of Shell Mexico, told EFE.
It’s still too soon for Shell to give details about its investment plan or the number of service stations with which it plans to get started in Mexico, but this year “we will open our first gas station,” the director said.
With its launch plan, the company of British-Dutch origin shows its determination not to be left behind in Mexico, after the reform set in motion by President Enrique Peña Nieto opened the sector to private enterprise after decades of a state monopoly in the hands of Petroleos Mexicanos (Pemex).
The race is on. In early March the UK oil company BP, another colossus, established its first service station in Mexico, and announced it will open up to 1,500 gas stations over the next five years.

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.
