APA Corporation (Apache) Announces $950 million Permian Basin Asset Divestiture According to an APA Corporation (parent company of Apache) press release put out this afternoon, APA has entered into an agreement for the sale of non-core producing properties in the Permian Basin to an undisclosed buyer for $950 million. The properties are located in the Central Basin Platform, Texas and New Mexico Shelf, and Northwest Shelf and currently represent estimated net production of 21,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/d), of which approximately 57% is oil.

Of the top 50 global energy M&A deals announced or closed in 2023 involving U.S. actors — including in traditional oil and gas, renewable energy, and power generation — roughly 40% focused on upstream shale assets. When pared down to just the top 10 deals, roughly 70% focused on upstream shale assets. Among those top 50 deals, roughly 62% involved Houston-based companies or Houston-area assets. When looking at the upstream shale deals specifically, that figure is about 52%. So far this year, several major deals involving Houston companies have been announced, including Houston-based APA Corp.'s (NYSE: APA) acquisition of Houston-based Callon Petroleum Co. for $4.5 billion, which closed at the beginning of April, and Oklahoma City-based Chesapeake Energy Corp.'s (Nasdaq: CHK) $7.4 billion deal to acquire Spring-based Southwestern Energy Co. (NYSE: SWN) for $7.4 billion.

Mindful Monday: Showing Up with Professionalism Last month, I attended an industry panel at the Petroleum Club in Fort Worth, eager to exchange insights and connect with colleagues in the field. It was a great event with a room full of dedicated professionals who took the time to be there and stay engaged. But, as with any gathering, not everyone was fully tuned in. Midway through the panel, a gentleman near the front received a loud phone call. Rather than silencing it and stepping out quietly, he answered mid-panel, got up, and walked out talking. About ten minutes later, he returned to his seat, only for the same thing to happen again. Now, we’re all busy. Our industry demands responsiveness, and occasionally stepping out to handle an urgent call is simply part of the job. But there’s a way to do this that respects the room and everyone in it. Managing these moments with a bit of discretion—silencing the phone, stepping out quietly—ensures we keep the focus on the speaker and respect the investment everyone has made to be there. So here’s a reminder as we start the week: when we show up, it’s more than just being physically present. It’s about showing up fully and making sure our presence contributes to a positive, professional environment for everyone around us. Small acts of courtesy go a long way in shared spaces, and ultimately, they reflect the respect we have for our peers and the industry itself. Wishing everyone a productive week ahead, wherever you’re showing up.

Passionate about serving clients along their journey of TA improvement, our CruzAlta team offers unparalleled professional and operational experience in the oil and gas and petrochemical industries. In this post, we want to spotlight one of our Operations Consultants, Carl Pitts, with a few Q&As to help you get to know our team and hear firsthand how we aim to serve our clients. What do you do? I serve our clients on their TA improvement journey focused on the TA Operations/Production organization. This includes leading interactive operations deep dive workshops, challenging and improving mechanical and operations planning/scheduling practices, enhancing capital project work processes and practices, and collaboratively delivering CruzAlta’s CAPE readiness methodology with TA Management consultants. I also work regularly with clients’ TA leadership team to help them with the preparation for a successful event. What do you enjoy most about your role? I really enjoy mentoring TA people and teams. More specifically, I enjoy helping identify improvement opportunities and helping clients implement innovative solutions on their journey to successful TA events; this is a means to “give back” to the industry that I grew up in and pass on my experience as a means for continuously improving in all aspects of the TA process (i.e. equipment strategies, work selection, planning, estimating, scheduling and all aspects of execution, operations practices, etc.). What are key focus areas in your work? Key elements in my work include all aspects of TA readiness and specifically TA operations preparations. I also focus on shutdown and clearing/decon activities, managing the mechanical window, and preparing for and starting up the operating unit(s). We spend a significant amount of time focusing on the shutdown and startup phases of the event, and how they interface with mechanical handover. Gaining efficiencies in those areas will shorten the duration of the “bookend” windows to minimize waste and maximize production. What are your end goals with clients? As a CruzAlta Artisan, I partner with our clients to increase the probability for a predictable TA event by helping them navigate through the preparation and execution phases to identify and capitalize on continuous improvement opportunities. It is extremely rewarding to be part of each TA team and see our partners achieve their goals.
