EdgeMarc Energy Holdings, an independent producer backed by Goldman Sachs’s private equity arm and the Ontario Teachers Pension Fund, is filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, following an explosion in Energy Transfer’s Revolution Pipeline in Beaver County, Pennsylvania, according to Kallanish Energy.
“Since the explosion of the Revolution pipeline in 2018, EdgeMarc’s production has been significantly curtailed and the company has been unable to satisfy its long-haul firm transportation contracts,” said Callum Streeter, EdgeMarc’s CEO.
After reviewing possible alternatives to ensure the company’s long-term ability to develop natural gas and NGL-rich assets, the EdgeMarc board and management team has determined selling all of its assets is the best path forward for all stakeholders.
According to the Chapter 11 filing (reviewed by Kallanish Energy), EdgeMarc and eight affiliates filed for bankruptcy. The companies’ total creditors number between 1,000 and 5,000, total assets are between $100 million and $500 million, and liabilities range between $100 million and $500 million.
