Murphy Oil Corporation MUR
announced today that its wholly owned subsidiary, Murco Petroleum Limited, was
unable to complete the sale of the Milford Haven refinery and terminal assets
to Klesch Refining Limited by the October 31, 2014 deadline.
The refinery is currently in a period of shut-down, and will be decommissioned
and operated solely as a petroleum storage and distribution terminal. The
Company will seek a buyer for the terminal facility along with three inland
terminals. The sale of the Company's retail assets is unaffected by the
inability to sell the refinery.
