According to Reuters, Linn Energy is looking into distressed restructuring options with Barclays with low oil and natural gas prices hurting its ability to service $10 billion of debt after next year.

Linn Energy is an independent U.S. oil and gas producer which has suffered a 12% reduction in its reserve-based lending, Reuters said.

Citing two sources, Reuters said that one of the options being discussed is a deal with Franklin Income Fund to trade the mutual fund’s unsecured bonds with a new second-lien secured loan, two sources said.
