页岩生产商恰帕拉尔能源再次申请破产保护

    中国石化新闻网讯 据美国彭博新闻社2020年8月17日纽约报道,专注于阿纳达科盆地页岩油气生产、开采和收购的恰帕拉尔能源公司4年来第二次申请破产保护,这为债券持有者在油价低迷后接管这家俄克拉荷马钻井公司铺平了道路。

    恰帕拉尔能源公司日前向美国特拉华州破产法庭申请破产保护,试图重组资产负债表并筹集新资金。恰帕拉尔能源公司在17日的一份声明中表示,近80%的优先留置权债权人和债券持有者支持将3亿美元无担保债券转换为股权、筹集1.75亿美元基于储量的退出资金以及发行3万美元可转换债券的提议。

    恰帕拉尔能源公司公布的估计负债和资产在5亿至10亿美元之间。

    Covid-19大流行导致了美国能源行业破产数量激增,而封锁扼杀了需求,促使贷款机构削减信贷额度。今年迄今为止,申请破产保护的页岩公司中包括加州最大的原油生产商加州资源公和页岩气钻井公司切萨皮克能源公司。

    恰帕拉尔能源公司首席执行官查克·杜金斯基在声明中表示:“尽管我们采取了谨慎而果断的行动来应对今年的挑战,但对能源行业包括恰帕拉尔能源公司的总体影响都是严重的。我们打算维持正常运营,并在现有条款下及时履行所有贸易承诺。”

    这家位于俄克拉荷马城的油气生产商在阿纳达科盆地开展业务。在原油价格自2014年开始暴跌后,恰帕拉尔能源公司曾在2016年首次申请破产保护。

    Shale driller Chapparal Energy files bankruptcy

    Chaparral Energy Inc.’s filed for bankruptcy protection for the second time in four years, paving the way for bondholders to take control of the Oklahoma driller in the aftermath of sluggish oil prices.

    The company filed for Chapter 11 in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Delaware as it seeks to restructure its balance sheet and raise new money. Almost 80% of first-lien lenders and bondholders gave their support for a proposal to swap $300 million of unsecured notes into equity, raise a $175 million reserves-based exit facility and issue $35 million of convertible notes, Chaparral said in a statement on Monday.

    The company listed estimated liabilities and assets of between $500 million to $1 billion.

    The Covid-19 pandemic has led to a surge in energy industry bankruptcies, as lockdowns strangle demand and prompt lenders to cut credit lines. So far in 2020, the tally has included California Resources Corp., the state’s largest crude producer, and shale gas driller Chesapeake Energy Corp.

    “While we have taken carefully measured and decisive action to address the challenges of 2020, the overall impact to the energy industry, including Chaparral, has been severe,” Chief Executive Officer Chuck Duginski said in the statement. “We intend to maintain normal operations and meet all of our trade commitments timely and under their existing terms.”

    The Oklahoma City-based oil and gas producer operates in the Anadarko Basin. It previously filed for bankruptcy protection in 2016, following a plunge in crude prices that started in 2014.
