Regal Petroleum closed higher yesterday on talk that Royal Dutch/Shell was looking to buy the exploration group’s assets in Ukraine.
Earlier this year, Regal appointed Tristone Capital to explore a divestment of its Mekhediviska-Golotvschinska and Svyrydivske gas and condensate fields in the eastern European country.
The company reported a full-year loss of $109.2m (£54.5m) due to legal charges for securing its Ukrainian licences. Regal Petroleum rose 4.6 per cent to 192¼p .
