CALGARY, June 3, 2019 /CNW/ - OBSIDIAN ENERGY LTD. (TSX – OBE, NYSE – OBE.BC) ("Obsidian Energy", the "Company", "we", "us" or "our") announces the Company's banking syndicate has extended the syndicated credit facility redetermination date until June 30, 2019 as the Company completes marketing of its previously announced unsecured bond offering and as our partner progresses through its right of first refusal and tag-along provisions in regard to the Peace River Oil Partnership disposition.
