4月19日消息(路透社)— Seventy Seven Energy油田服務公司稱:公司計劃在5月26日或之前根據破產法第11章申請破產保護。在當前油價長期持續下跌的情況下,該公司是最新申請破產保護的公司。
Chesapeake Energy公司曾是Seventy Seven Energy的母公司,Seventy Seven Energy于2014年從母公司中分離出來。Seventy Seven Energy稱公司已經和某些貸款方達成協議,這些貸款方可以使Seventy Seven Energy11億元的債務轉變成股權。Seventy Seven Energy的法律顧問為Baker Botts律師事務所,財政顧問為Lazard Freres & Co公司,公司重組顧問為Alvarez & Marsal公司。
自2014年中期起,油價降幅大于60%,由此導致約50家北美油氣生廠商申請破產保護。
低迷的油價已經迫使石油生產商大幅縮減開支,降低對類似于Seventy Seven Energy公司所提供的油田服務的需求。石油圈原創www.h29736.cn
上周一,Chesapeake Energy稱其貸款方雖然對公司的資金狀況表示擔憂,但允許公司貸款額達到40億美元,這令公司投資人驚訝不已。

April 19 (Reuters) – Oilfield services company Seventy Seven Energy Inc said it intended to file for a prepackaged Chapter 11 bankruptcy on or before May 26, the latest energy company to seek bankruptcy protection amid a prolonged oil price slump.
The company, which was spun off from Chesapeake Energy Corp in 2014, said it had entered into a restructuring agreement with certain lenders that would allow it to convert about $1.1 billion of its debt into equity.
A more than 60 percent fall in global oil prices since mid-2014 has forced about 50 North American oil and gas producers to seek bankruptcy protection.
Weak oil prices have also prompted oil producers to severely curtail spending, weighing on demand for the oilfield services provided by companies such as Seventy Seven Energy.
Chesapeake Energy Corp, the company’s former parent, surprised investors last Monday, when it said lenders had allowed it to keep its $4 billion borrowing base, despite concerns about its liquidity position.
Baker Botts LLP is Seventy Seven Energy’s legal counsel and Lazard Freres & Co LLC is the financial adviser. Alvarez & Marsal is the company’s restructuring adviser.
