Print
|
Callon Petroleum Co. has hired debt advisors as it looks to restructure its considerable debt load, according to a report by Reuters.
Currently, the company has logged over $3.0 billion in debt, a good chunk of which was assumed when it acquired Carrizo Oil & Gas last year (Carrizo had $1.7 billion in debt at the time of the deal).
In the wake of the market downturn and to preserve its financials, Callon cut its 2020 budget by 30% in March and dropped several rigs from its program.
