Description: APA APA January 07, 2026

APA Corporation (NASDAQ: APA) is an independent upstream energy firm that explores, develops, and produces natural gas, crude oil, and natural-gas liquids across a geographically diversified portfolio that includes assets in the United States, Egypt, and the North Sea, with additional exploration and appraisal projects in Suriname and stakes in ventures in Uruguay and other international locations. The company, incorporated in 1954 and headquartered in Houston, Texas, trades under the “Oil & Gas Exploration & Production” GICS sub-industry.

Key recent metrics: APA generated ≈ ≈ $2.5 billion in revenue for FY 2023, with a production mix of roughly 70% natural gas and 30% oil/NG-L, and reported a free cash flow conversion of about 45% of earnings. The firm’s capital-expenditure plan for 2024 targets ~ $1.1 billion, emphasizing higher-margin gas projects in the Permian and offshore North Sea fields. Primary economic drivers include U.S. natural-gas price spreads, OPEC+ output decisions that influence crude benchmarks, and the growing global demand for LNG, which underpins the valuation of APA’s gas-heavy portfolio.
