Petrofac Limited (LSE:PFC), the Aberdeen-based energy services company, has filed to appoint administrators to its parent company after a major offshore wind contract cancellation derailed its financial restructuring. The move follows Dutch grid operator TenneT's decision to end a key 2 GW project, which Petrofac said rendered its recovery plan “no longer deliverable.
The board of oilfield services provider Petrofac has lined up Teneo to act as administrator, a move which could be triggered as early as Monday morning and imperil more than 2,000 jobs in Scotland, Sky News reported on Saturday.
Petrofac Limited (LSE:PFC) has confirmed that its ongoing restructuring will result in no residual value for existing shareholders as it moves to finalise a lock-up agreement with creditors. The company, in a statement, said it expects to complete the process by the end of November, and it continues to focus on operational delivery through the transition.
