Оценка менеджмента
Confident
Management expressed strong confidence in the company's strategic direction, highlighted successful cost reductions ahead of schedule, and emphasized a robust inventory that supports long-term production, while also acknowledging market headwinds in LOE.
Инвестиции и мощности
Management outlined a disciplined 2026 capital program of $2.1 billion, roughly 10% lower than last year, with $1.3 billion allocated to the Permian (including $100 million for base capital projects aimed at structurally reducing LOE), $500 million in Egypt, $230 million for the Grand Morgue development in Suriname, and $70 million for exploration. This plan preserves flexibility to scale activity

TotalEnergies' execution in Suriname is a key driver for APA's expected free cash flow step-change in 2028.
Доказательства
“In Suriname, our partner, Total, continues to execute at a high level as we advance toward a mid-2028 first oil date.”

APA is seeing cost deflation in the Permian Basin, with D&C costs down to $595/ft in Midland and $750/ft in Delaware, and expects further improvements, suggesting industry-wide service cost pressures may be easing. — This could lead to lower service sector pricing power and suggest that other E&P operators may be seeing similar cost improvements, potentially impacting their own capital efficiency outlooks.
Доказательства
“Our current drilling and completion costs average $595 per foot in the Midland Basin and $750 per foot in the Delaware Basin.”

APA exceeded its $350 million cost reduction target two years early and now expects a $450 million run rate by end of 2026, driven by efficiency gains and portfolio high-grading, which structurally lowers its cost base.
Доказательства
“We captured over $300 million of savings and exited the year at a $350 million run rate, achieving our original target two years ahead of schedule.”
APA's strategy shifted to drilling more wells on tighter spacing with lower completion intensity, unlocking more economic inventory: current inventory includes ~1,700 economic locations and ~1,700 technical upside locations, supporting a 10-year production outlook.
Доказательства
“Lower cost enables more dense development. Increasing density accesses economies of scale, and economies of scale reduce costs even further.”
APA plans to invest $100M in Permian base capital to reduce LOE by $40-50M annually, with benefits starting in H2 2026. This goes beyond typical cost cuts, indicating deep operational optimization.
Доказательства
“we're also investing in things that will increase the reliability and the resilience of production volume... there are some opportunities on the inventory side, and we're I'm sure we'll talk about inventory in a bit, Permian inventory.”
APA is seeing cost deflation in the Permian Basin, with D&C costs down to $595/ft in Midland and $750/ft in Delaware, and expects further improvements, suggesting industry-wide service cost pressures may be easing.
APA's trading portfolio is expected to generate $650 million of pre-tax income in 2026, largely driven by Waha basis differentials, highlighting ongoing value from gas logistics and midstream constraints.
Доказательства
“Based on current strip pricing, we expect these activities to generate approximately $650 million of pre-tax income in 2026.”
