Production update

APA curtailed approximately 103 MMcf/d of U.S. natural gas production in the third quarter in response to weak or negative Waha hub prices. APA also curtailed an estimated 10,000 barrels per day of natural gas liquids during the quarter, which were mostly associated with the voluntary gas curtailments. Previous third quarter guidance issued in July contemplated curtailments of ~90 MMcf/d of natural gas and ~7,500 barrels per day of NGLs.

Asset sales update

In September, APA announced an agreement to divest non-core assets in the Permian Basin for $950 million, prior to customary closing adjustments. At the time of the announcement, these properties had an estimated net production of ~21 MBOE/D (57% oil). Fourth-quarter guidance issued with the divestiture announcement removed production from the pending divestiture for the entirety of the fourth quarter, though the transaction is not expected to close until later in the fourth quarter.

Weighted-average shares outstanding

The estimated weighted-average basic common shares for the third quarter is 370 million, compared with a weighted average of 371 million shares in the second-quarter 2024. APA repurchased 0.1 million shares at an average price of $29.32 per share during the third quarter.
