摘要

Murray energy, one of the largest privately held US coal miners, is working with investment banks to renegotiate the terms of its credit agreements in a bid to stave off bankruptcy, people familiar with the talks said. The talks underscore the industry's challenges as governments have curbed the use of coal at power plants, and natural gas and other fuels have become cheaper. Some of the largest US coal companies, including Peabody Energy Corp, Alpha Natural Resources and Arch Coal, have already filed for bankruptcy.
