Castro seizes Esso and Shell refineries in Cuba
Fidel Castro ordered seizure of Esso Standard and Shell Oil installations and refineries in Cuba unless they refine token shipments of state owned Russian crude. The move follows two days after he seized Texaco property and accuses firms of violating a 1938 law. Cuban refining has begun at the Texaco plant in Santiago to process Soviet crude, while the government owes the firms about 60 million dollars for Venezuelan oil. The island needs about 60,000 barrels daily and some see a potential gasoline shortage unless Soviet oil supplies rise.
