Chicago, April 18 - Kodiak Oil & Gas Corp. doubled the size of its revolving credit facility to $1.5 billion and extended the maturity to April 2, 2018.

The company also increased the borrowing base to $650 million from $450 million, elected to limit the aggregate commitment on the revolver to $550 million and adjusted pricing.

Borrowings bear interest at Libor plus 150 basis points to 250 bps, with the margin dependent on borrowing base utilization.

The company amended its credit agreement on April 3 with Wells Fargo Bank, NA as administrative agent, according to an 8-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
