Shelton Canada Corp. Announces Addition to Portfolio of Projects in Ukraine

Geschrieben am 04-02-2009

Calgary, Canada (ots/PRNewswire) - Shelton Canada Corp.
("Shelton") (TSX VENTURE:STO) is pleased to announce that it has
signed a Joint Investment Activity agreement with National Joint
Stock Company Chornomornaftogaz ("Chornomornaftogaz"), a 100% state
owned enterprise of Ukraine, to acquire, jointly develop and operate
a concession known as the Arkchangelske Field located on the west
side of the Crimean Peninsula in the shallow water shelf of the Black
Sea. The working interest acquired by Shelton is 50% of the entire
concession. The agreement is now going through the registration
process with regulatory authorities of the Ukrainian Government.

This large (87 square kilometer) concession holds a large
seismically defined structure with multi zone potential for natural
gas. The field is currently on production with cumulative production
of 17 billion cubic feet of natural gas from a single platform in the
Western portion of the structure producing from the shallow sediments
of the Tortonian and middle Maikop formations. Produced gas is
transported to a sales point through the Chornomornaftogaz subsea
pipeline linking a number of offshore fields to the mainland. This
pipeline has capacity for additional daily volumes.

The primary exploration target for the structure is the Lower
Paleocene with potential for very large accumulations of natural gas
(estimated potential undiscovered resources of 750 billion cubic feet
gas in place). The Arkchangelske field is approximately 25 kilometres
offshore with water depths of 45 metres.

This concession lies adjacent to the natural gas producing
Stormovoye Field (cumulative production 170 billion cubic feet), and
Golitsinske Field. Both of these fields are operated by our joint
venture partner Chornomornaftogaz and produce natural gas and
condensate from sediments of Maikop and Lower Paleocene age.

Chornomornaftogaz and Shelton have planned a work program
pursuant to the Joint Investment Activity Agreement. The work program
planned for 2009 consists of the acquisition of 300 kilometres of new
2 dimensional seismic as well as development of an optimum production
model.

Seismic acquisition contractor bids are now being acquired and
the program is scheduled to take place during the second and third
quarters of this year.

The Arkchangelske license was renewed in early 2008 and is now
valid until 2038.

Zenon Potoczny, President and CEO, commented: "Reaching agreement
with Chornomornaftogaz on the Arkchangelske concession is a
significant event for Shelton. This exceptional opportunity greatly
enhances Shelton's portfolio with a project near a high productivity
field not far from existing infrastructure and huge market. Because
natural gas has already been discovered in significant quantities, we
believe that this natural gas concession can be a profitable
development and could add substantial value to Shelton. We also
believe that we will be able to access further attractive
opportunities to complement and expand our existing portfolio of
properties in Ukraine. We also note the market price for sales of
natural gas is anticipated to reach parity with European Grid prices
by 2011."

The agreement regarding Arkchangelske represents a further
important milestone in cooperation between Shelton and
Chornomornaftogaz following previously announced agreements on the
Birjuchja and North Kerchenskaya concessions all with a 50%
participation for Shelton.
