July 2 (Reuters) - Canada's Compton Petroleum Corp (CMT.TO: Quote, Profile, Research) said it completed annual renewal of its reserve-based credit facility worth C$383 million with a syndicate of four banks.

Compton said the syndicate comprising Canadian and international banks will provide the C$353 million term credit facility, while the lead bank will provide the remaining C$30 million working capital facility.
