“Shelton Petroleum’s investment in Tomsk Refining has generated a good return. Following the final payment now being made, the liquidation will have brought a total of SEK 69 million to Shelton Petroleum. It has strengthened our financial position and generated funds for investments in the drilling program and further exploration activities,” says Robert Karlsson, CEO of Shelton Petroleum.

During the autumn of 2010, Shelton Petroleum acquired 3,900,000 shares in TRAB, corresponding to 15.1 per cent of the company’s share capital. The acquisition cost amounted to USD 7.0 million, of which USD 4.0 million were paid by issuing Shelton Petroleum shares. In total, the liquidation will generate approximately USD 10.8 million for Shelton Petroleum.

TRAB sold its Russian refining operations during 2011. The shareholders of TRAB then resolved to liquidate the company as a way of distributing the cash generated from the sale of the refinery. In August 2011, Shelton Petroleum received a first payment of SEK 51 million.
