Forbes Energy Services Investment Losses

Have you suffered investment losses in Forbes Energy Services, LTD? If so, The White Law Group may be able to help you. It may be possible to recover your losses by filing a FINRA Dispute Resolution claim against the brokerage firm that sold you the investment.

Forbes Energy Services Ltd. is an independent oilfield services contractor that provides a broad range of drilling-related and production-related services to oil and natural gas companies, in Texas and Pennsylvania, according to their website.

Forbes Energy Services filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection this week in the southern district of Texas-Corpus Christi. The oilfield services contractor said it has plenty of liquidity to support its business during the reorganization, which provides for a facility of $50 million to be funded by certain bondholders to ensure working capital.

The stock, which traded on the OTC Pink Sheets, had dropped close to 58% over the past three months. Oil and gas exploration and production companies such as Forbes Energy Services, have scaled back drilling and more than 200 energy-related firms have filed for bankruptcy since oil prices crashed about two years ago.
