Capital in the oil and gas sector remains relatively tight, with traditional financing sources continuing to be inaccessible to many industry participants. As a result, new financing structures have been developed – and previously used structures have been revisited – to help meet the industry’s capital needs. Please join members of the Gibson Dunn Energy team in a discussion regarding the use of these non-traditional financing structures. The discussion will provide an overview of VPP, NPI, and ORRI structures; JV and non-op AFE funding structures; and preferred equity structures. We also will discuss the recent use of asset-based securities (ABS) as a financing tool in the sector.
