Combination of proven oil and exploration upside

Shelton Petroleum has since 2007 successfully been pursuing oil exploration and production at the company’s three license blocks in the Russian republic of Bashkiria. The company has found oil and commenced production from four out of four drilled wells on the Rustamovskoye field. The most recent well evidences substantial field potential for increased production. In addition, there is significant exploration upside on the company’s two adjacent license areas, Aysky and Suyanovskoye, where several wells were drilled and oil was encountered during the Soviet era.

The most recent #12 well on Rustamovskoye is a possible game changer

As previously announced, the new well encountered significantly higher net pay and has reached substantially higher flow rates compared to the previous wells. In addition, the oil-bearing formation came in deeper and significantly extended the known oil column and size of the reservoir. Information from the #12 well shows that the structure extends to the southeast and into the neighboring Aysky license.

Significant increase in reserves expected in the next reserves report

The latest independent Western reserves audit for Shelton Petroleum's Russian licenses was completed in September 2009 and does not take into account the recent successful drillings. The findings from well #12 have resulted in a new interpretation of the area as well as the net pay. This may lead to a significant increase in reserves and resources in future audits.

Investing to increase production

• Shelton Petroleum is planning to include horizontal wells in the next drilling campaign. Industry averages show that these wells provide 85 per cent higher cumulative production than vertical wells. Despite being more expensive, horizontal wells have higher paybacks than vertical wells due to on average 3.5 times higher initial production.
• Shelton Petroleum is currently investing SEK 20 million in scalable oil facilities on the Rustamovskoye field in order to improve efficiency in the handling of current and expected future oil production. The investment includes gathering, measurement, separation and storage of crude oil. Initial capacity is slightly less than 2,000 barrels per day and can be scaled up with minor investments. The facilities will also serve as a hub for future production from the Aysky and Suyanovskoye oil fields.
