TNK BP said Wednesday that it signed up for $2 billion of loans with a group of 16 banks.
The three-year deal is the largest debt transaction ever done by the firm.
Proceeds will be used to finance the 2010 business plan and for additional financial flexibility, the company said.
TNK-BP said it agreed to pay interest of 1.75 percentage points more than the London interbank rate on the financing, which is comprised of two $1 billion portions.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
