Shell Issues Bakersfield Refinery Sales Process Update #3;
Negotiations With Leading Bidder Results in No Sale Agreement
HOUSTON, Dec. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Shell Oil Products US today issued an update
on the sales process for its Bakersfield Refinery that thus far has not
resulted in a sale agreement for the refinery.
"As stated in our last update, Shell has been having discussions with a short
list of bidders interested in the Bakersfield Refinery," said Lynn Laverty
Elsenhans, President and Chief Executive Officer of Shell Oil Products US.
"More recently we have been working intensively with the leading bidder, but we
could not reach an agreement that offered terms and conditions acceptable to
both parties. While we do not rule out the possibility that another bidder
could offer an acceptable package, we are focusing on our commitment to
continue operating the refinery through March 2005. If no agreement is
finalized, we will proceed with plans to close the refinery by the end of this
period."
