Prices declined precipitously, and oil and gas companies filed bankruptcy in record numbers during 2015 and 2016. In March 2016, the OCC revised its Oil & Gas Production Lending Handbook to expand its guidance on oil & gas production lending, markets, lending structures, types of reserves, associated risks, and, most importantly, supervisory expectations for risk management and examination procedures.
This webinar will provide bankers with a thorough understanding of oil & gas lending, loan documentation, due diligence and bankruptcy/restructuring issues. It is a must for any bank that has or is considering loaning against oil & gas assets or has oil and gas loans in its portfolio.
