美國二疊紀(jì)鉆井公司羅斯希爾公司申請破產(chǎn)保護(hù)

據(jù)彭博社7月27日報道，隨著油價暴跌，二疊紀(jì)石油鉆井公司羅斯希爾資源公司(玫瑰山資源公司)Rosehill被迫尋求債務(wù)重組，隨后，該公司向德克薩斯州南部的美國破產(chǎn)法院申請破產(chǎn)保護(hù)。羅斯希爾原油勘探活動主要是在二疊紀(jì)盆地西部的特拉華盆地。

數(shù)十家美國頁巖油公司多年來一直在艱難地維持著運(yùn)營，這些公司通過借貸來擴(kuò)大產(chǎn)量，這使得它們在今年歷史性的原油崩盤面前變得十分脆弱。

今年3月，隨著全球疫情破壞了市場需求，沙特阿拉伯和俄羅斯達(dá)成的減產(chǎn)協(xié)議宣告破裂。羅斯希爾公司宣布，將在2020年停止所有鉆井和壓裂活動。今年7月，羅斯希爾簽訂了重組協(xié)議。

Permian Oil Driller Rosehill Files for Bankruptcy Protection

Rosehill Resources Inc. filed for bankruptcy protection after a plunge in oil prices forced the Permian shale explorer to seek a restructuring of its debt.

The company filed for Chapter 11 in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in South Texas. Rosehill drills for crude mostly in the Delaware Basin portion on the western side of the Permian Basin.

Scores of U.S. shale companies have been struggling to stay afloat after years of spending borrowed money to expand production left them vulnerable to crude’s historic crash this year.

In March, when Saudi Arabia and Russia’s agreement to curb production collapsed just as the global pandemic destroyed demand, Rosehill announced it was halting all drilling and fracking activity for 2020. In July, Rosehill entered a restructuring agreement with certain lenders.
