Chesapeake Energy Corp. said Monday it is working with banks to take out a $1 billion line of credit in order to retire debt.

The company said it had engaged Goldman Sachs, Citigroup and MUFG to assist with arranging a secured five-year term loan for $1 billion. In tandem, it said it had launched two sets of tender offers, each to buy back $500 million of notes.

Chesapeake has been working in recent months to clean up its finances as energy prices remain low. Earlier this month it paid nearly $340 million to exit the Barnett Shale in Texas and reduce its financial commitments there.

Chesapeake also said recently that it intends to sell more than $2 billion in assets this year.

Oklahoma City-based Chesapeake develops oil and natural gas assets in the U.S.

Chesapeake shares, which have risen 24% in the past three months, rose 1.6% in premarket trading.
