- We have a continued positive view on Pan European Terminals, but have chosen to divest the shares in order to develop our license portfolio. The divestment gives us increased resources to develop the significant potential in our license portfolio. In addition to the current drilling program in Bashkiriya and the development of the Lelyaki field, we have interests in high potential offshore gas licenses in Ukraine, which we want to take to the next level, says Robert Karlsson, CEO of Shelton Petroleum.
