Shell looks with "keen interest" at offshore Brazil assets

LONDON, April 30 (Reuters) - Royal Dutch Shell (Xetra: R6C1.DE - news) will look with "keen interest" at any subsea deep water oil assets Brazil's state-run Petrobras puts up for sale, Chief Executive Officer Ben van Beurden said on Thursday.

"If things will be offered up in pre-salt in areas that we understand we would look at it with keen interest," van Beurden said during a conference call following the release of Shell (LSE: RDSB.L - news) 's quarterly results.

Shell is set to become the largest foreign oil producer in Brazil should its deal to buy smaller British rival BG Group (LSE: BG.L - news) is completed. (Reporting by Ron Bousso. Editing by Jane Merriman)
