Porter Hedges Advises Alpine Summit Energy Partners on Upstream Energy Asset Backed Securitization

Porter Hedges advised Alpine Summit Energy Partners, Inc. (TSXV: ALPS.U) (OTCQX: ASEPF) (“Alpine Summit”) on the closing of an asset backed securitization of certain producing oil and gas wells (the “Facility”).

Proceeds from the Facility will be used to repay existing indebtedness and Alpine Summit’s asset backed preferred instrument and for general corporate purposes.
