    Replaced its long-running (since 2006) revolving credit facility with a new $100 million asset-based lending facility maturing 2023 at meaningfully better terms — a real graduation out of the distressed, covenant-heavy financing that had defined 2015-2017.

  3. 1 Mar

    The same day it closed Swiftwater, sold subsidiary Maritech's legacy offshore oil, gas and mineral leases to Orinoco Natural Resources and its affiliate Epic Offshore, which assumed substantially all associated liabilities in exchange for a modest $7.5 million note — TETRA shedding decommissioning-liability-heavy legacy E&P assets as it pivoted fully to oilfield services.

201692.7m shares · US$503m market cap

  1. 23 Dec

    92.7m shUS$503m
  2. 14 Dec

    Raised roughly $114.9 million gross in a second equity-and-warrant offering (19.4 million shares at $5.15 plus warrants), again earmarked to repay debt — completing the deleveraging push begun that June.

    92.7m shUS$503m
  3. 9 Aug

    CSI Compressco LP raised about $48 million through a private placement of Series A Convertible Preferred Units led by outside investor HBC MLP LLC, with TETRA itself chipping in $10 million — fresh outside capital validating the compression business during the downturn.

    92.7m shUS$557m
  4. 5 July

    Amended its own revolving credit facility for the fourth time: the loans now had to be secured (previously unsecured), permitted unsecured debt was cut from $550 million to $100 million, and leverage/coverage covenants were tightened further.

  5. 21 June

    Raised roughly $60 million in a public equity offering (11.5 million shares at $5.50) to repay debt under the senior secured notes and revolving credit facility — the first real deleveraging move after more than a year of expensive refinancing.

    material agreement

    80.3m shUS$439m
  6. 25 May

    Subsidiary CSI Compressco LP's own credit facility was tightened: lender commitments cut from $400 million to $340 million, leverage covenants tightened, and permitted capital expenditures cut from $150 million to as little as $25 million — the compression-services unit under real strain.

    debt financing

    80.2m shUS$540m
  3. 6 May

    Closed the $50 million Wells Fargo Senior Secured Notes and used the proceeds, with other funds, to repay $90 million of maturing Series 2008-B Senior Notes — this time pledging units of subsidiary CSI Compressco LP as collateral, a sign of tightening credit conditions.

    Agreed to issue $50 million of Senior Secured Notes to Wells Fargo Energy Capital, at a rate structure escalating from 3.75% to 5.25% through 2017, to refinance maturing Series 2008-B unsecured notes — the start of a multi-year refinancing scramble as oil prices collapsed.
