January 3, 2012 [The Economic Times] - ZURICH: Royal Dutch Shell is closely watching developments at European oil refiner Petroplus, which is closing three of its refineries after running out of money for crude supplies since bankers froze its credit lines abruptly last week.
“We are permanently watching the developments at Petroplus. Due to our size in Switzerland we rely on our customers to secure supplies,” Shell Chief Executive Peter Voser was quoted as saying in an interview with Swiss newspaper Sonntag on Sunday.
