Description: APA APA November 04, 2025

APA Corporation (NASDAQ:APA) is an independent upstream energy company that explores for, 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 work in Suriname and minority interests in projects in Uruguay and elsewhere. The firm was incorporated in 1954 and is headquartered in Houston, Texas.

Key recent metrics (as of FY 2023) show average daily production of roughly 290 MMcf of natural gas and 30 kboe of oil & NGLs, operating cash flow of about $1.2 billion, and a net debt-to-EBITDA ratio near 2.1×, indicating moderate leverage for an E&P firm. The company’s performance is highly sensitive to natural-gas price trends, which are driven by seasonal demand, LNG export capacity growth, and macro-fuel-switching dynamics in Europe and Asia. A sector-wide driver is the ongoing shift toward lower-carbon energy, pressuring upstream firms to improve capital efficiency and diversify into higher-margin liquids.
