Offshore drilling contractor Seadrill has pushed back the maturity date of a revolving credit facility it provided for North Atlantic Drilling.
The facility was put in place while restructuring negotiations continue at both companies.
Bermuda-headquartered Seadrill is the majority shareholder in North Atlantic Drilling, which has an office in Aberdeen.
The facility was initially worth $25million, maturing on March 31, 2017.
It was then amended to mature on June 30 and was increased to $50million.
Last month, the facility was amended to mature on July 31 and was increased to $150million.
Following the latest amendment, it will mature on September 12.
