ZURICH, Aug 2 (Reuters) – Swiss-based oil refiner Petroplus said on Thursday it planned to acquire two refineries in France from Royal Dutch Shell for $475 million, excluding net working capital.
Petroplus said it intends to buy the refineries at Petit Couronne and Reichstett Vendenheim, which have a combined total nameplate crude capacity of 239,000 barrels per day.
Net working capital in the agreed purchase prices is expected to be about $400 million.
