EnerJex Resources, a domestic onshore oil company, announced that Texas Capital Bank approved a borrowing base increase from $7 million to $12.15 million under the company’s $50 million senior secured revolving line of credit.

This improvement resulted from a significant increase in the estimated quantity and value of EnerJex’s producing oil reserves. At present, the company has $6.2 million drawn under this credit facility, which currently bears interest at a rate of 3.75% per year.

Additional borrowing base increases are expected in the coming months following the addition of new oil production and the maturation of existing oil wells that recently began producing.
