Brazilian commodities tycoon Eike Batista's troubled oil company OGX is set to file for bankruptcy protection in Brazil in the coming days....bond holders, who collectively hold about $3.6 billion in company paper. The holders include some of the world's largest, such as  BlackRock Inc.  BLK +0.22%    and bond giant Pacific Investment Management Co., who backed a company that had no oil production or profits.....the company said it had rights to fields that contained up to 10.8 billion barrels of oil. But OGX burned through much of its cash in a failed effort to develop those fields. In July, OGX disclosed it was incapable of extracting oil from most of them....
