Asset Sale of Distressed Upstream Energy Firm

Written By Orchard Brook

Operational Crisis

A $250MM EBITDA upstream oil & gas corporation faced a severe liquidity crisis following a prolonged commodity pricing downturn, holding over $1B in debt.

Actions Taken

  • Sourced and constructed a robust 13-week liquidity model to establish real-time asset tracking for stakeholders and creditor groups.

  • Performed strategic alternative evaluations and prepared complex valuations to protect stake value.

  • Successfully managed intensive restructuring alternatives and creditor negotiations.

  • Presented liquidity updates and restructuring recommendations to senior leadership and creditor groups.

Outcome

Preserved stakeholder value through a successful transaction that significantly reduced debt and stabilized operations. Avoided liquidation scenarios, securing an asset sale with a strategic buyer.
