Ring Energy Inc.在 8 月 26 日的新闻稿中表示，该公司正在加强资产负债表，计划在第三季度减少 1800 万美元的债务。

Ring 表示，截至 9 月 30 日，其信贷额度中未偿还借款约为 4.3 亿美元，低于 6 月 30 日的 4.48 亿美元。

首席执行官兼董事会主席保罗麦金尼 (Paul McKinney) 表示，公司正致力于在“动荡时期”加强资产负债表。

他说，该公司通过调整资本支出和运营来应对 2025 年的油价下跌，重点是最大限度地产生自由现金流和偿还债务。

新闻稿还补充道，华平投资近期还退出了其在 Ring 的全部普通股持股。

Ring于2022年以4.65亿美元收购了由华平投资集团（Warburg Pincus）持有多数股权的Stronghold Energy。此次交易为Ring的投资组合增加了二叠纪盆地中央盆地平台3.7万英亩的净土地。

麦金尼表示： “我们要感谢华平投资过去的合作，以及他们在帮助我们在 2022 年中期通过收购 Stronghold 大幅扩大 Ring 的规模方面发挥的关键作用。”

Ring Energy Inc. is strengthening its balance sheet with a plan to reduce debt by $18 million in the third quarter, the company said in an Aug. 26 press release.

Ring said it will have approximately $430 million in borrowings outstanding on its credit facility as of Sept. 30—down from $448 million in borrowings outstanding as of June 30.

CEO and Board Chairman Paul McKinney said the company is focused on strengthening its balance sheet amid “volatile times.”

The company responded to 2025’s drop in oil prices by adjusting capital spending and operations to focus on maximizing free cash flow generation and paying down debt, he said.

Warburg Pincus also recently exited its full common equity position in Ring, the press release added.

Ring bought Stronghold Energy, majority owned by Warburg Pincus, in 2022 for $465 million. The deal added 37,000 net acres in the Permian Basin’s Central Basin Platform to Ring’s portfolio.

“We want to thank Warburg Pincus for our past partnership and the key role they played in helping Ring increase its size and scale significantly in mid-2022 with our Stronghold acquisition,” McKinney said.
