Golar LNG Partners is positioning itself to raise as much as $150m as it plans to sell common units representing limited partner interests.

The Nasdaq-listed company said in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that it "may from time to time offer the common units to underwriters, dealers or agents".

"We will use the net proceeds for general partnership purposes, including repayment of debt, acquisitions, capital expenditures and additions to working capital," Golar LNG Partners added.
