The company said that they filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division.
“It allows us to definitively address the more than $20 billion in debt that has burdened our capital structure.
