据道琼斯3月1日消息,马拉松石油公司计划出售最多约12.3亿美元股票(基于周一收盘价),股票出售所得将用于增强该公司的资产负债状况并为部分资本项目提供资金。
虽然能源行业遭遇了能源价格持续大幅下跌的困境,但一些能源生产商已经成功的通过发行股票融得了资金。
过去两周,Energen公司、QEP 资源公司、卡伯特油气公司和戴文能源公司均扩大了公开发行股票的规模。
马拉松石油公司计划发行1.35亿股股票,此次发行附有2,025万股的超额配售条款。
马拉松石油公司2月份公布了20年来的首次年度亏损。该公司宣布2016年资本项目规模为14亿美元,而2015年公司的资本项目规模为30亿美元。

Marathon Oil to Sell Stock to Shore Up Balance Sheet
Marathon Oil Corp. plans to sell as much as about $1.23 billion of stock, based on Monday's closing price, intending to use proceeds to strengthen its balance sheet and fund part of its capital program.
While the industry has suffered from a severe, prolonged downturn in energy prices, several energy producers have been successful in their efforts to raise cash in stock offerings.
Within the past two weeks, Energen Corp., QEP Resources Inc., Cabot Oil & Gas Corp. and Devon Energy Corp. have increased public stock offerings.
The company intends to sell 135 million shares, plus up to 20.25 million additional shares in an overallotment.
In February, Marathon reported its first annual loss in 20 years. The Houston exploration and production company announced a $1.4 billion capital program for 2016, compared with $3 billion in 2015.
