MOSCOW/NUR-SULTAN, Sept 1 (Reuters) – PetroRetail, operator of Kazakhstan’s biggest gas station network, has scrapped plans to switch to either Shell or a Gulf brand and will instead revive its own Qazaq Oil brand, sources familiar with the plans told Reuters.
PetroRetail in a statement to Reuters confirmed plans to use its own brand but declined to disclose details.

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.
