The Oakland-based firm said it also may be in technical default on other loan agreements. The $10 million in principal was due May 15 under a credit facility with a private credit corporation that Buttes won’t identify. Buttes suffered significant losses in its contract drilling business last year and has been meeting with four banks to restructure its $275-million long-term debt.
