Bennu Oil and Gas Files Chapter 7 Liquidation

Are you concerned about your losses investing in Bennu Oil & Gas, LLC? If so, the attorneys at The White Law Group may be able to help you by filing a FINRA arbitration claim against the brokerage firm that sold you the investment.

Houston-based Bennu Oil & Gas has assembled a portfolio of oil and gas resources in the Gulf of Mexico, offshore Louisiana and Texas, according to their website. Bennu was formed in 2013 to acquire infrastructure and other drilling assets from ATP Oil & Gas, which liquidated in bankruptcy after its operations were disrupted by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill disaster.

Bennu Oil & Gas LLC, filed for chapter 7 bankruptcy protection this week, indicating its intention to liquidate. According to court papers, the company no longer operates. Bennu valued its total assets at $10 million to $50 million and total liabilities at $500 million to $1 billion.

In August, Texas’ Beal Bank USA successfully forced an affiliate of Bennu Oil & Gas, Bennu Titan LLC, into an involuntary chapter 11 bankruptcy and later won a judge’s order appointing an independent trustee to take control of the affiliate.

Bennu Titan owns an offshore multicolumn drilling and production platform in the Gulf of Mexico that was being used by Bennu Oil & Gas. The platform has since been shut down.

Three BDCs have investments in Bennu Oil & Gas: OHA Investment (OHAI), PennantPark Investment (PNNT) and Sierra Income, a non-traded BDC. For more information on Sierra Income, click here.
