KEPPEL Corp is in talks to support KrisEnergy in its proposed preferential offering which would give the financially-strapped upstream oil and gas firm a lifeline as it announces a fourth straight quarter of losses.

Shares in both companies rose on Thursday, with KrisEnergy's stock gaining 1.4 per cent to close at S$0.147, while Keppel's stock increased 0.4 per cent to S$5.27.
