How This Kid Built The Biggest Oil Company In The World!

Marcus Samuel turned his father’s London business into one of the most important companies in the history of the oil industry. But the path wasn’t easy. After striking gold and finding the right partnership, Samuel’s business was on the brink of failure after a bitter decade-long rivalry. But ingenious engineering, sponsorship, and deep involvement in both world wars ensured that it would emerge as one of the top 5 oil companies on the planet, even today. This is the story of Shell.

Interesting to mention, in Swahili (at least in Tanzania) petrol/gas stations are called sheli which comes from shell

I worked for Shell for over 20 years. They expected excellence, but in return, looked after their employees.

I am proud to say, in retirement, that I worked for Shell.

Exxon Mobil & shell + b.p where part of the " 7 sisters" in middle East oil. They owned the patent for refinement, Arabs & Persians got crude oil value as it came out of land, beyond that these 7 western companies did all processing & profits. Interesting to note Samuels is a Jewish name, so are Rothschild, Oppenheimer !

Shell could not conquer "The great Indian OIL industry" because Indians consumed Tons of oil 🛢️🪔 in street food and that oil was different from the product, Shell sold. 😊😊

"1 meter sea level rise by 2030", right. Here we are in 2024 and the sea level hasn't even risen 1 inch. What does that tell you?

What a load of history falsification, as of 1907 the multinational was 60% Dutch and was led by Henri Deterding, he was the one, and not Samuels, that build the company as we know it today.
