In February 1892 these efforts were rewarded by crude oil flowing from the company’s wells in the north Sumatran jungles. The remote location of these wells required Royal Dutch Petroleum to emerge as an integrated oil company from well-head to consumer, exporting its products around Asia. To do this, Royal Dutch Petroleum reached an agreement with merchant trading company M Samuel & Co to operate the Asian arm of their transportation business. The fleet formed an integral part of Shell’s entrance into Asian oil market by shipping kerosene in bulk from Russia via the Suez Canal. In 1897, the venture was incorporated as Shell Transport and Trading Company. In 1907 Royal Dutch Petroleum Company merged with Shell Transport and Trading Company.〔Royal Dutch Shell#History〕 Though the two companies originated from different positions – Royal Dutch as an upstream producer and refiner, and Shell Transport a midstream transporter and wholesaler of oil – because both companies were focused on Asian markets, they were able to combine their marketing operations in Asia to form a joint venture called Asiatic Petroleum. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shell Pakistan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
