Alberta, June 16 (Reuters) – Royal Dutch Shell Plc (RDSa.L) is sticking by statements that it is no longer looking for a buyer for its Montreal East oil refinery despite reports that a new offer has emerged.
Radio-Canada and other media in Quebec reported on Wednesday that Delek U.S. Holdings, an arm of Israeli energy, automotive and real estate conglomerate Delek Group (DELKG.TA), had doubled a previous offer for the 130,000 barrel per day plant to C$150 million ($147 million) but no source for the information was given.
