<!-- START OF : div id="storytext"--><!-- more than 4 paragraphs -->ROYAL Dutch Shell is considering moving its oil processing operations to Indonesia from Singapore, said Indonesian Vice-President Jusuf Kalla.
'In a meeting over dinner, Shell has expressed its readiness for it,' he said after visiting the port in Rotterdam, according to a recent Antara report.
He said this after meeting Dutch Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenender, who told him Shell wished to take part in the tender for an oil field in the Natuna Sea.
The Indonesian news agency said no decision had been made on it but Mr Jusuf said four companies - Exxon from the United States, Shell from the Netherlands and other companies from Europe and China - are on the list to compete for the project.
According to Antara, Mr Jusuf said the Indonesian government had asked the company to run the upstream business as well as oil refinement in the country given that it is already operating downstream business through its gas stations.
The head of the Capital Investment Coordinating Board, Mr M. Lutfi, said that Shell's chances would be better if it was willing to move its oil refining operations in Singapore to Indonesia.
He suggested the Batam and Bintan free trade zones, which were only 20km from Singapore, as possible locations for the operations, Antara reported.
'If Shell would accept the offer, I believe it would have a better position and added value than the others,' he said.
When asked if Shell has any plans to relocate its refinery business, a spokesman in Singapore said: 'Officially, we do not comment on speculation.
'Indonesia is a very important country. Shell has a growing downstream business in Indonesia and continues to look for opportunities to expand our business activities, including in the upstream and in partnership with Pertamina.'
Shell has a huge presence in Singapore. It has been in Singapore since 1961 when it set up the first oil refinery on Bukom.
Shell Singapore also undertakes international trading of oil and petrochemical products and is a key hub of Shell Trading's global trading network. <!-- end of for each --><!-- Current Ratings : start --><!-- Current Ratings : end --><!-- vbbintegration : start --><!-- vbbintegration : end --><!-- dennis change request 20070424 : start --><!---Google ad - Start : Thu, 12 Feb 2009 09:22:40:395---><!-- AdSpace STI Google ad tag --><SCRIPT language=JavaScript1.1 src="http://ads.asia1.com.sg/js.ng/site=tsti&pagepos=20&size=10X10"> </SCRIPT>

Poker game lah. Shell knows that Singapore is in recession.. They leak out such info and them come to our EDB and ask for more concessions and tax breaks.

Sweatshop Inc will always be at the mercy of MNCs.

There are ships build to cater to refining on the ships itself, no need of off shore rigs in the future. The transport ship can just come and collect upon refinery of oil and no need to transport oil to a certain location to be refined.

It is happening liao. FYI.

Very True.

SHELL started its drilling/refining faciliites in Brunei and Miri (East Malaysia), more than 50 years ago. At that time, these countries' infrastructures (ports, road, etc...)were really bad. But they managed. Today, with modern technologies, drilling oil anywhere in the world is much more easier. And the MNCs oil companies are attracted to where the $$$$ are (especially now in the face of current worldwide recession).

To me, when the elites decided that luxury residences, marinas, golf and country clubs, casinos, F1, swiss-type banking and other "rich and famous" facilities became the "way forward", they are no longer thinking of brick-and-mortar development to serve their citizens, but building a Monaco to serve themselves and the rich and famous of the world.

They have lost touch and are indifferent to the needs of the people who voted them in year after year, and who worked their hearts and souls out for the nation these last 40 so years.

This country is bleeding :(

How else did those hundreds of billions got into Temasek and GIC for LKY to fuck around with?

From LKY hard work?

IT IS FROM THE HARD WORK OF SINKIES.

THAT LKY THAN SCREWED AND HIJACKED ALL THAT MONEY BY ALL HIS 'HEAVILY SUBSIDISED' BULLSHIT AND 'AFFORDABLE' CON GAME.

LKY BLEED AND SCREWED SINGAPOREANS ALL THESE YEARS

AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO IN FUTURE

THE ONLY WAY OUT FOR SINGKIES IS TO FORCE LKY AND PAP BASTARDS OUT OF POWER

OR BE PREPARED TO BLEED MORE

AND DIE IN OLD FOLK HOMES IN JOHORE BAHRU

 

[shelltox]

They will catch up with us if we screw up just like the mas selamat case which is causing the jam/\as for malaysia, initially all projects look impressive but 3 years down the road the whole place would be run down.

 

[singveld]

maybe it is the end of singapore as a refinery. so, which industries are singapore good at in another 20 yrs??

 

[tonychat]

SO SHell finally understand the meaning of sinkieness and start to move away, they should have done that long time ago, but that is ok, pple will learn about it eventually.

 

[singveld]

basically shell is all about profit
and singapore became too expensive , thanks to pap.

how is economy in thailand? the tourism has recover already?
better than singapore, does they have a hc there too, which spend their country money invested US banks??

 

[tonychat]

Thailand has a new capable prime minster who behave and work as a real PM.

The country is gonna improve in the way of Thai culture and style of democracy.

If you want to know about economy and tourism of thailand, you can read more on world news or asian news or take a trip down to see it for yourself.

There is one phrase that this REAL thai PM says" We need to have healthy competition in politics so that the minority rights are protected, a single party rule is not healthy for Thailand and it is also the essence of democracy to have healthy competition in politics.

You should take a look at the character of this current thai PM and the sinkie character of thaksin who want to emulate a sinkie. Vast difference, angel and devil difference.

If sinkies want real democracy, they must go and fight for it, just like the Thai pple who hold protest for 6 months till the Thaksin party is being thrown out, but let me remind you, you need to have balls to do that , it is this balls that sinkie lacks.

Can't you people think properly.

Shell will still be here in 20 years time.
Sheeesh!

Of course lah, their refill stations will be around

The question is about their 'other' businesses. Look around and you'll that many MNCs are already leaving Spore.

Good gov't is not only about GST, ERP, radi/TV licensing, ... Sporeans have alot of complaints against the PAP gov't, but what about the MNCs ? Since many have already left, they have their "issues"
