Bankruptcy Judge Approves June 9 Auction for Dune Energy's Operations
Published: Apr 08, 2015


By Katy Stech


Lawyers for Dune Energy Inc. are preparing to sell the Houston oil driller's operations at a June 9 auction, after a bankruptcy judge signed off on the company's proposed sale timeline.

At a hearing Wednesday, Judge H. Christopher Mott set a June 5 deadline for bidders who are interested in the 32-worker company, which oversees more than a dozen drilling sites that sit atop an estimated 93.1 billion cubic feet of natural gas equivalent, according to documents filed in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Austin, Texas.

Dune Energy officials didn't set a minimum bid price for the auction.

The company's sale could put it under the ownership of a more financially stable owner, but it would likely make its shares, which trade publicly in over-the-counter markets, valueless. Investment firms including Strategic Value Special Situation Fund, LP, BlueMountain Capital Management and West Face Long Term Opportunities Global Master LP own large chunks of stock, according to earlier court papers.

Even before the company filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy March 8, company officials reached out to 45 potential buyers, according to earlier court papers. Any purchase offer needs approval from Judge Mott, who agreed to look over the auction's winning offer at a June 18 sale hearing.

Wednesday's approval came after a prolonged battle over how money from potential lawsuits should be split among Dune Energy's existing debts of more than $100 million. Lawyers for Dune Energy's unsecured creditors didn't specify who or what could be the target of future, potentially lucrative lawsuits. Profits from those lawsuits could add to the pot of money that unsecured creditors share as repayment at the end of the bankruptcy process, they said.

Founded in 1998, the company pulls crude oil and natural gas from underneath more than 74,000 acres of land in Texas and Louisiana.

"[Dune Energy and its affiliates] have sought to acquire operational control of properties that they believe have a solid proved reserve base coupled with significant exploitation and exploration potential," said Chief Restructuring Officer Donald R. Martin in earlier court papers.

But as oil prices fell last year, so did Dune Energy's revenue. It took in $43 million in revenue last year, down from $55.5 million during 2013, Mr. Martin said.

At the end of the second quarter in 2014, Dune Energy failed to meet a requirement that was laid out in its borrowing agreement, causing it to lose access to millions of dollars.

Dune Energy officials cut costs and proposed a merger with California-based oil and gas driller Eos Petro Inc., which would have cashed out existing stockholders by paying them 30 cents per share. The merged entity would also take on responsibility for $106.8 million of debt that Dune Energy faced as of Sept. 30.

The merger fell through on March 4 after Eos was "unable to complete the financing" needed, earlier court documents said.

Dune Energy, Inc. Reports Year-End 2014 Proved Reserves Of 12.9 MMBoe, Down 17% From Year-End 2013
HOUSTON, April 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Dune Energy, Inc. (DUNRQ) ) ("Dune" or the "Company") today reported year-end 2014 proved oil and gas reserves of 5,601 Mbo and 43.6 Bcf of gas or 12.9 MMBoe.

Upside Potential and Capital Expenditures

Over and above the 12.9 MMBoe of proved reserves, the Company has identified an additional unrisked 54 MMboe of probable, possible and exploratory reserves. These projects are defined with recent fully processed 3-D seismic data and within our acreage positions. The majority of this upside potential is within our Garden Island Bay field.

As previously disclosed, the Company and its subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Texas, Austin Division (the "Bankruptcy Court") seeking relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the "Bankruptcy Code"). The Chapter 11 cases are being jointly administered under the caption "In re Dune Energy, Inc., et al", Case No. 15-10336 (the "Chapter 11 Cases"). The Company continues to operate its business and manage its properties as "debtors-in-possession" under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court. The Company currently is limiting its operations to those necessary to preserve the value of the business as a going concern and to formulate a definitive Chapter 11 bankruptcy plan ("Plan") for submission to the Bankruptcy Court and claimholders of the estate. This process includes evaluating alternative proposals for the sale of substantially all of the Company's assets in the Chapter 11 case and in connection with the Plan. All other business activity, including prospect acquisitions and other capital expenditures, has been halted. The Company therefore does not have the capital required to explore and develop these opportunities.

yesterday/

As reported by Bloomberg, Dune Energy Inc (OTCMKTS:DUNRQ) filed for bankruptcy in a court in Austin, Texas on Monday. The Chapter 11 filing came on the back of a fall in revenue and a failed merger deal with EOS Petro Inc. The Los Angeles-based
company backed out of the merger on March 4. The company due to falling crude oil price lacked the financing required for the merger to take place.
As reported by the Wall Street Journal, the Restructuring Chief of Dune Donald R Martin in a declaration filed in the court indicated that the decline in crude oil price sent the revenue down $12.5 million to $43 million in 2014, compared to what
the company generated in 2013. Mr. Martin on the issue said: “During 2014, as a result of a significant decline in oil price, the debtors’ revenue fell sharply, although the debtors were able to reduce expenses, the significant decline in
revenue imposed a strain on the debtors’ liquidity.”
The falling oil price has caused substantial problems for companies involved in the energy industry. Crude oil price since June 2014 has fallen more than 50%. The fall in the price was associated with rising US production owing to the hydraulic
fracturing techniques employed by the US energy firms. US production as a result has reached a 30-year high. The International Energy Agency estimates the US
production to be more than nine million barrels of oil per day.
The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries in a move to protect its market share refrained from cutting its production and maintained it at 30 million barrels of oils per day. This has worsened the decline in crude oil price. Demand for fuel
has also weakened in recent times.
As reported by Bloomberg, Dune Energy would seek an approval from the court to divest its assets in an auction to be held on June 9. The company’s listed assets are worth $229.5 million, whereas, its debt is valued $144.2 million. No bids till now have been received by the company for its assets. The company has requested the court to approve a $10 million loan financed through Bank of Montreal and CIT Capital Securities LLC.

Dune Energy indicates that EOS owes around $5.5 million to the Houston-based company as a fine for backing out of the merger deal which was made on September 2014. Other companies that have filed for bankruptcies include Endeavour International Corporation (OTCMKTS:ENDRQ), Gasfrac Energy Services Inc, and Cal
Dive International, Inc. (OTCMKTS:CDVIQ).

Dune Energy shares crashed 82.76% yesterday to $0.0250

Business

Dune Energy to Begin `Swift` Bankruptcy Sale Process

Judge approves moves that will ease company’s transition into bankruptcy protection

By Tom Corrigan

March 11, 2015



Dune Energy Inc., a Houston-based energy company, has received a bankruptcy judge’s approval to kick off a marketing and sale process, one that aims to keep the business operating while in Chapter 11.
During the company’s first appearance in court Tuesday, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge H. Christopher Mott signed off on a series of so-called first-day motions that will ease Dune’s transition into bankruptcy protection, allowing it to pay employees, to
access its bank account and to otherwise continue normal operations.
Judge Mott also signed an interim order allowing the company to drawn down up to $3 million of a larger $10 million loan from a group of lenders led by Bank of Montreal. A final hearing on the loan was scheduled for April 2.
As a condition of the bankruptcy financing, Dune’s senior lenders are requiring that the company put itself up for auction.
According to proposed bidding procedures, which weren't brought before Judge Mott at Tuesday’s hearing, Dune will pursue a “fairly swift sale process,” according to attorney Charles Beckham. Under the currently proposed timeline, Dune will hold an auction June 9, with a sale hearing to follow shortly after.
Prebankruptcy marketing efforts failed to produce a lead bid, court papers say.
Dune and two subsidiaries filed for Chapter 11 protection Sunday, after falling oil prices caused a proposed merger with EOS Petro Inc. to fall apart last week. The proposed merger would have valued Dune at $135.9 million, but EOS was ultimately unable to line up the financing to complete the deal.
The publicly traded company listed assets of $229.5 million and debts of $144.2 million. Senior lenders are owed $39 million, while second-lien lenders are owed nearly $68 million.
Dune is the latest among a number of companies---including Endeavour International Corp., BPZ Resources Inc., Cal Dive International Inc. and Gasfrac Energy Services Inc.---that have recently sought bankruptcy protection as a result of plummeting oil prices. Several others have skipped payments to bondholders and warned that bankruptcy is a possibility.
In a declaration filed with the court, Dune’s restructuring chief, Donald R. Martin, said the decline in oil prices cut into the company’s bottom line, with 2014 revenue of $43 million down from $55.5 million in the prior year. After Dune tripped financial covenants on its loan, its lenders limited how much the company could borrow, prompting the Chapter 11 filing.
Founded in 1998, Dune’s holdings include properties covering more than 74,000 gross acres across 15 producing oil and natural gas fields in Texas and Louisiana. Energy produced is sold primarily to domestic pipelines and refineries, court papers say.
