Good evening,

In the past nine days, $US7 billion of asset value has been wiped from ASX-listed oil and gas producers. Santos was the latest casualty, announcing a $1.1 billion write-down on Tuesday and joining the likes of Woodside Petroleum and Origin Energy.

But that's not stopping this next ASX aspirant. Tonight, we take a look at which east coast gas play has been getting in front of fund managers, with the biggest oil and gas sector IPO in years. The company in question has tapped Bell Potter to lend a hand and we've got all the details.

Elsewhere, as if Bain Capital wasn't busy enough fending off pesky bondholders seeking to upend its Virgin bid, we unveil the tricky conversations it's been having about its childcare portfolio company.

Finally, a Melbourne investment house is putting the finishing touches on a new corporate credit fund and we reveal which listed audio technology company is getting ready to launch a capital raising.

Happy reading,
Sarah Thompson, Anthony Macdonald and Tim Boyd
