New debt facility sets up EnQuest to complete Golden Eagle swoop

EnQuest has clinched a new £530 million debt facility, smoothing a path for its refinancing and acquisition of stakes in the Golden Eagle field.

The London-listed exploration and production company said it had signed up for a new facility of £425m and an additional £105m for letters of credit for up to seven years.

EnQuest said it would use the funds to repay its existing senior financing agreement, a capital facility and a vendor loan with BP.
