Breitburn Energy Partners Successfully Completes Chapter 11 Reorganization: Emerges as Newly Formed Maverick Natural Resources, LLC, Controlled by Funds and Accounts Managed by EIG Global Energy Partners

LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Maverick Natural Resources, LLC (“Maverick”), announced today that it
began operating on April 6, 2018, after it emerged from Chapter 11 as
the successor to Breitburn Energy Partners LP (“Breitburn”). Maverick is
majority-owned and controlled by funds and accounts managed by EIG
Global Energy Partners (“EIG”).

As a result of the restructuring process, Maverick has debt of
approximately $105 million, which is substantially lower than
Breitburn’s $2.96 billion debt balance prior to initiating the
restructuring process. Maverick has approximately $295 million of
additional borrowing capacity under a new bank credit facility.
Maverick’s balance sheet provides it with significant financial
flexibility and positions the organization for long-term success.

Clayton Taylor, Managing Director of EIG, said: “We are pleased to close
this chapter and focus on generating value for the Maverick platform.
Maverick will emerge with low leverage, a simple balance sheet, and
sufficient liquidity to remain adaptive to the ever-changing market
conditions. Following a judicious review of the asset portfolio and cost
structure, we believe Maverick is well-positioned to capitalize on cost
reduction initiatives, to deploy capital to high growth prospects and to
potentially build the platform through strategic acquisitions.”

Halbert S. Washburn, Maverick’s Chief Executive Officer, said: “Today
marks a new beginning for our company and all of our stakeholders and
the end of a difficult period managing through the steep and sustained
decline in oil and natural gas prices. Throughout the extended
restructuring process, we remained focused on our key goals of managing
production and reducing costs to preserve the value of our diverse and
long-lived portfolio, substantially reducing debt and dramatically
improving our liquidity position, and achieving a consensual plan of
reorganization among our key creditor groups. I would like to thank our
outstanding employees for their unwavering commitment throughout the
restructuring process.”

Following are highlights of Maverick’s current portfolio of assets:

  • Operated approximately 88% of stable long-lived production in 2017,
    averaging 39,742 Boe/d
  • Estimated proved reserves of 152.2 MMBOE, approximately 97% of which
    are proved developed reserves with a proved reserve life index
    averaging more than 10 years
  • Approximately 1 million gross acres (600,000 net)
