據油田技術3月14日消息稱，APA公司宣布，該公司的子公司于3月7日以約 8.05 億美元的價格將特拉華盆地礦產出售給一位未披露的買家，但需進行交易后調整。

被剝離的資產主要包括得克薩斯州西部和新墨西哥州東南部的非經營性資產，預計日產量約為7000桶油當量。

在3月11日的第二筆交易中，APA子公司完成了400萬股Kinetik a類普通股的出售，凈收入為2.24億美元。在此之前，Altus Midstream和BCP Raptor Holdco LP合并，形成Kinetik，并于2月底完成。在未來的24個月內，Apache將投資至少1億美元用于特拉華盆地 Alpine High 區的新鉆井和完井活動，Kinetik在該區塊擁有獨家天然氣和天然氣液化天然氣采集和處理權。

APA公司首席執行官兼總裁John J. Christmann IV說：“這些交易的完成反映了我們正在進行的投資組合精簡。我們仍致力于向股東返還自由現金流，并繼續加強資產負債表。因此，我們計劃將部分銷售收入用于削減債務。”

首席財務官兼執行副總裁Steve Riney指出:“隨著2022年第一季度的業績，我們將開始拆分Altus Midstream的貢獻，從而去杠桿化APA的資產負債表，簡化我們的財務報告，并增強與純粹的上游同行的可比性。截至 2022 年 3 月 31 日，除其他項目外，APA 的資產負債表將不再反映 Altus 的 6.57 億美元長期債務和與 Altus 先前在 2021 年底合并的優先股相關的 7.12 億美元?！?/p>

APA Corp. completes Delaware Basin minerals divestiture

APA Corp. has announced that on 7 March subsidiaries of the company completed the sale of a Delaware Basin mineral package to an undisclosed buyer for approximately US$805 million, subject to post-closing adjustments.

The divested assets primarily comprise non-operated properties across west Texas and southeast New Mexico, with estimated production of approximately 7000 boe/d.

In a second transaction, on 11 March, a subsidiary of APA completed the sale of 4 million shares of Kinetik Class A common stock for net proceeds of US$224 million. The transaction follows the combination of Altus Midstream and BCP Raptor Holdco LP that formed Kinetik and was completed in late February. Within the next 24 months, Apache will invest a minimum of US$100 million for new well drilling and completion activity at the Alpine High play in the Delaware Basin, where Kinetik has exclusive gas and NGL gathering and processing rights.

“Completion of these transactions reflects the ongoing streamlining of our portfolio. We remain committed to returning Free Cash Flow to shareholders and continuing to strengthen the balance sheet. As such, we plan to direct a portion of these sales proceeds toward debt reduction,” said John J. Christmann IV, CEO and president of APA Corporation.

Steve Riney, CFO and executive vice president, noted: “With first-quarter 2022 results, we will begin deconsolidating Altus Midstream contributions, thereby deleveraging APA’s balance sheet, simplifying our financial reporting, and enhancing comparability with pure upstream peers. As of March 31, 2022, among other items, APA’s balance sheet will no longer reflect the $657 million in Altus long-term debt and $712 million associated with Altus’ preferred equity previously consolidated at year-end 2021.”
