MOG cashes up for Guendalina



By Upstream staff 

Mediterranean Oil & Gas (MOG) has taken an €18 million ($27.4 million) credit line from the Bank of Scotland, primarily to develop its interests in the Guendalina field off Italy.

The first tranche, for €10 million, will go towards the company’s development costs of the Guendalina gas field, where it holds a 20% stake.

Repayment of the first tranche will come from MOG’s share of Guendelina’s production.

First gas from the field is scheduled for early 2010.

The second tranche, for €8 million, will be used for general corporate purposes and to help costs towards other assets including the OM2 development and the Ombrina Mare field development.

The credit facilities are available for a 30 month period from the date of agreement with an optional 30 month extension.

Interest rates on the loans range between 8.6 % and 9.4 % per annum, on a fully drawn basis.

Company head Sergio Morandi said, “In addition to our ongoing revenue from production, the company now has in excess of €33 million available to fund our current work programme.”
