Halcon has $147 million in availability, effective at emergence, under its new senior secured revolving credit facility, the company highlighted. This includes $3 million in cash, $1 million in outstanding letters of credit and $130 million of borrowing, Halcon revealed.

"I'm excited to announce our emergence from bankruptcy under chapter 11. This has been the culmination of a lot of hard work from the entire team, including our legal and financial advisors,” Halcon CEO Richard Little said in a company statement.
“I especially want to thank our former board members for their role in making the financial restructuring a success. I am eager to begin working with our new board as we continue to implement a culture of capital discipline in the safe development of our asset base,” he added.
“We remain focused on creating value and enhancing the financial flexibility we have achieved in this process,” Little continued.
Halcon describes itself as an independent energy company focused on the acquisition, production, exploration and development of liquids-rich assets in the Delaware Basin. Its corporate headquarters is situated in Houston, Texas.
