尋求到Bentley項目新的一個合伙投資人，Xcite Energy面臨的壓力重重，因為它為了債務問題想要爭取到條款修訂。
據報道，目前公司已經成功地敲定了開發基金提案的商業條款，使方案能正常運行，因為它希望在今年晚些時候把一份開發計劃書提交給有關部門。
然而，在該油田開發項目第一階段Xcite需要一個合作伙伴簽署財政契約為其提供財政幫助。
公司一直在與債券持有人洽談，打算在下個月月底對債務條款方面重新進行協商。
在一份聲明中，該公司表示它相信提供給其潛在合伙人經費方案的能力是一種“創新性的結構”，這將緩解石油和天然氣行業環境資金緊張的形勢。
Bentley，位于Shetland以東大約100英里，是北海最大的未開發的油田之一。
Xcite于1977年發現，通過使用提高采收率技術，估算產量能達3億桶原油，能夠生產超過35年。
2003年Xcite的一家全資子公司獲得了該油田100％的開采權益，成為第21個英國海上開發許可競標成功的一員。

Xcite Energy is under pressure to find a new finance partner for its Bentley project as it looks to secure revised terms for bond debt.
According to reports, the company has now managed to finalise commercial terms for development funding proposals to get the scheme going as it looks to submit a development plan to the authorities later this year.
However, Xcite requires a partner for the financing pact of the first phase of the field project.
The firm has been in talks with bondholders to renegotiate terms of debt by the end of next month.
In a statement, the company said it believed its ability to offer a funding package to potential partners is an “innovative structure” which would “potentially mitigate the capital constrained environment in which the oil and gas industry is currently operating”.
Bentley, about 100 miles east of Shetland, is one of the largest undeveloped fields in the North Sea.
Xcite estimates the asset, discovered in 1977, could produce nearly 300million barrels of oil – using enhanced recovery techniques – over 35 years.
A wholly-owned subsidiary of Xcite was awarded a 100% working interest in the field in 2003 as part of the 21st UK offshore licensing round.
