寻求到Bentley项目新的一个合伙投资人,Xcite Energy面临的压力重重,因为它为了债务问题想要争取到条款修订。
据报道,目前公司已经成功地敲定了开发基金提案的商业条款,使方案能正常运行,因为它希望在今年晚些时候把一份开发计划书提交给有关部门。
然而,在该油田开发项目第一阶段Xcite需要一个合作伙伴签署财政契约为其提供财政帮助。
公司一直在与债券持有人洽谈,打算在下个月月底对债务条款方面重新进行协商。
在一份声明中,该公司表示它相信提供给其潜在合伙人经费方案的能力是一种“创新性的结构”,这将缓解石油和天然气行业环境资金紧张的形势。
Bentley,位于Shetland以东大约100英里,是北海最大的未开发的油田之一。
Xcite于1977年发现,通过使用提高采收率技术,估算产量能达3亿桶原油,能够生产超过35年。
2003年Xcite的一家全资子公司获得了该油田100%的开采权益,成为第21个英国海上开发许可竞标成功的一员。

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.
