As it stands Taqa has a net debt of 71.9b dirhams, 84% of net capital, only refinancing a $3.1b 5-year credit facility recently.

Reuters reports that Taqa achieved a net loss of 421m dirhams ($114.7m) in the second quarter, even after the company already cut oil and gas headcount by 22 beginning July 2014.
