TORONTO, ONTARIO–(Marketwired – Dec. 22, 2017) – Sintana Energy Inc. (“Sintana” or the “Company“) (TSX VENTURE:SEI) is pleased to announce the successful completion of its non-core assets divesture initiative. The final transaction, the package sale of several relatively minor items, yielded gross proceeds of US 0,000.
