The Arend Petroleum Company Ltd. was originally established in 1927 as "Compania Mexicana de Petrol el Aquila" on the island of Aruba. However, it underwent a name change and became more commonly known as "Arend" or "Eagle". The Arend was a subsidiary of the Royal Dutch Shell Group.^[1] The government generously granted a broad coastal strip at Druif Beach^[2] of approximately 5 kilometres (3.1 miles) in length.
