I was wondering where they got their money from. If you are short, I have a mate introduced by Lat at Batu Road if you want a tenner quick.

Malaysian oilfield service provider SapuraKencana Petroleum Bhd said on Thursday it has signed a $5 billion refinancing deal with 13 banks to partly fund two of its most recent acquisitions.

The company bought Seadrill Ltd’s tender rig business in 2012 and the entire equity stake of Newfield Exploration Co’s Malaysian oil and gas assets last year.

The refinancing was also done to replace and streamline its existing borrowing facilities, SapuraKencana said in a statement.

The deal, of which 70 percent is in U.S. dollars, constitutes a senior multi-currency term and revolving facilities with short and long-term tenures of up to seven years, according to the company.
