(November 1, 2002) – The westbound lane of Highway 61 will be closed for approximately one hour on Saturday, November 2, 2002, to allow a large tower to be transported across the Bonnet Carre Spillway Bridge.

The Louisiana Department of Transportation has established guidelines regarding when the first vessel will be transported. Due to the size of the first column, the vehicle transporting this tower will travel at approximately three miles per hour beginning at 3:00 a.m. on Saturday and will begin crossing the Bonnet Carre Spillway at approximately 6:00 a.m. The tower should reach Prospect Avenue by 12:00 noon.

The tower will be loaded west of the Bonnet Carre Spillway on River Road at the Mississippi River in Montz. It will be carried from the River Road to Highway 628 (CC Road). From Highway 628, the tower will be brought to Highway 61 (Airline Highway) and transported across the Bonnet Carre Spillway on the westbound lane of Highway 61 to Prospect Avenue.

Traffic will be re-routed to River Road during this time. The Louisiana State Police and the St. Charles Parish Sheriffs Department will manage traffic flow during the moves.

This tower is a part of the refining equipment that is being installed as part of Motiva Norco Refining’s Low Sulfur Gasoline unit. The Low Sulfur Gasoline unit is being built at Norco as part of a federally mandated project to significantly reduce the sulfur content in gasoline. Sulfur in gasoline can become a source of emission from automobiles and trucks that contribute to air pollution.

Components of the Low Sulfur Gasoline unit were built overseas and the smaller of two large towers will be transported this weekend. It’s 206 feet long, 14.8 feet in diameter and weighs 562 thousand pounds.

The larger of the two towers will be transported at a later date. The Louisiana Department of Transportation has not yet confirmed this date. We will send you another letter with the details for this move.

Motiva is using Mammoet, a worldwide heavy hauling contractor who has considerable experience moving loads of this nature. The moving contractor has secured property owners’ permission and a wide range of permits that serve to protect the levee, utility lines, roads and the general community.

HOUSTON, March 25, 2002—Shell Oil Company, a wholly-owned member of the Royal Dutch / Shell Group, and Pennzoil-Quaker State Company (NYSE: PZL) today announced that they have entered into a definitive agreement under which Shell Oil Company will acquire Pennzoil-Quaker State Company at a price of $22.00 per share in cash.

Paul Skinner, managing director of the Royal Dutch / Shell Group of Companies and chief executive officer of the Group’s Oil Products business said, "The combination of Shell and Pennzoil-Quaker State Company, the largest independent lubricants company in the world, will make Shell a leader in the U.S. and global lubricants market. It also strengthens our U.S.Oil Products business.

"This transaction, along with our previously announced transactions in Germany with RWE DEA and in the U.S. regarding Texaco’s former interests in Equilon and Motiva, marks another important step in extending our sustained downstream leadership outside the U.S. into a global position."

Under the transaction, Shell Oil Company will acquire Pennzoil-Quaker State Company through a cash merger. Completion of the transaction is subject to approval by Pennzoil-Quaker State Company stockholders and customary reviews by regulatory agencies in the United States and other relevant jurisdictions. It is expected that the transaction will be completed in the second half of 2002 and be accretive to Shell’s earnings and cash flow from the first full year after completion.

Rob Routs, president and chief executive officer of Shell Oil Products US said, "The addition of Pennzoil^® and Quaker State^®, the number one and two brands in the key U.S. passenger car motor oil segment, will ultimately more than replace our use of the Havoline^® brand and complement Shell’s brand strength in diesel engine lubricants.

"Combining Shell’s networks and infrastructure and Pennzoil-Quaker State Company’s leading motor oil brands and portfolio of other businesses, such as its car care brands and its large network of over 2,000 Jiffy Lube^® stores will be a great strategic fit and will position Shell as a leader in the U.S. lubricants and car care business. Additionally, we expect pre-tax benefits from the transaction to total approximately $140 million per annum by 2004. One-time transaction costs and costs to achieve these benefits are estimated to be $100 million."

Jim Postl, chief executive officer of the Pennzoil-Quaker State Company said, "This is a unique opportunity to immediately increase the value of Pennzoil-Quaker State for the benefit of all shareholders. Pennzoil-Quaker State will benefit significantly from being part of an enterprise with the geographic scope, operational scale, breadth of products and services, and financial resources necessary to compete in a consolidating industry. This transaction makes the combined Shell and Pennzoil-Quaker State Company a stronger competitor in the lubricants and car care industry. I look forward to working closely with Shell to achieve the timely completion of this transaction and a smooth operational integration."

Pennzoil-Quaker State Company will be integrated with the existing Shell Oil Products US lubricants organization in the United States and will be based in the Houston, Texas area.

For immediate release

HOUSTON, Sept. 12. The employees of Equilon Enterprises LLC and Motiva Enterprises LLC, marketers of Shell- and Texaco-branded fuel throughout the United States, were saddened and shocked by the horrors on Tuesday. The victims and their families and friends are very much in our thoughts and prayers.

Current industry data indicates that the nation's overall inventory of fuel is adequate to meet normal levels of demand. We encourage consumers to buy gasoline as they normally would to minimize sharp swings in gasoline demand and availability. Equilon and Motiva will help maintain calm in the marketplace with a pledge to hold gasoline and diesel fuel prices steady for the next couple of days. This hold will apply to the prices we charge at Shell and Texaco stations that we own and operate, as well as the retail and wholesale prices we charge our independent dealers and wholesalers throughout the U.S. We encourage our thousands of independent dealers and wholesalers to exercise restraint in their pricing decisions. We will continue to assess our position as new developments unfold.

Headquartered in Houston, Equilon Enterprises LLC is a joint venture between Shell Oil Company and Texaco Inc. Motiva Enterprises LLC is a joint venture among Shell, Texaco, and Saudi Refining, Inc. The companies refine and market Shell- and Texaco-branded products to nearly 22,000 stations nationwide.
