- FY2026 free cash flow guidance raised to ~$2.2 billion, reflecting higher gas trading income and strong commodity prices.
- US oil production outlook raised to 122,000 bbl/d for 2026, driven by improved Permian operational efficiency.
- Gas trading portfolio expected to generate ~$1.1 billion pre-tax cash flow in 2026, but this is expected to normalize in the second half as new pipelines (GCX, Blackcomb, Hugh Brinson) come online.

Management is seeing a $5 to $10 per barrel premium for dated Brent over futures Brent in Q2, which is expected to compress through the year, indicating strong spot demand. — Sustained physical tightness in the North Sea market is a bullish signal for producers with immediate supply access, like those in the region.

APA's gas trading portfolio is expected to generate $1.1 billion of pre-tax cash flow in 2026 due to wider Waha basis differentials and elevated LNG prices, but per the forward curve, basis differentials are expected to compress in the second half of the year as new pipelines (GCX, Blackcomb, Hugh Brinson) come online. — The expiry of wide Waha basis differentials directly impacts the profitability of Permian-focused gas processors and pipeline operators, whose takeaway capacity becomes less scarce.
Доказательства
“About $300 million is coming from LNG companies for the year, for the remainder of the year. And the bulk of the pipeline transport really is kind of through the summer where we see very wide basis differentials. To your point, that starts”
