Category Large independentRegion N. AmericaCEO John Christmann (2015)Jurisdiction risk Med (41)

Overview

Diversified independent: US Permian (bolstered by the 2024 ~$4.5bn Callon deal), long-life Egypt Western Desert oil, UK North Sea (exiting by ~2029 amid the windfall tax) and the Suriname Block 58 GranMorgu development (with TotalEnergies, FID 2024).

Balance sheet carries Callon debt; a dividend plus buybacks and Suriname growth optionality. Flags: Egypt/UK exposure and North Sea wind-down.

Its EV/EBITDA of 3.2x is below the 5.9x median across the 142-company universe, the free-cash-flow yield of 7.8% is higher than the 6.5% median, and at $16.12/boe of proved reserves it is richer than the $13.51/boe median.

On a balanced screen across the universe, APA Corporation scores 53/100, strongest on valuation (61/100). Sub-scores: value 61, quality 54, growth 36, risk 54 (higher = riskier).

Reserves & production

APA Corporation holds approximately 1.06 billion boe of proved (1P) reserves with FY2025 production of about 392 thousand boe/d (71% liquids), a reserve life of roughly 7.4 years. Break-even: ~$40 (WTI breakeven) — Permian + high-margin Egypt oil; North Sea exit; Suriname GranMorgu FID 2024 (first oil ~2028).

Net asset value (public-source)

For APA Corporation, no SEC standardized measure is disclosed (non-US filer or listed NOC), so a public-source proved-NAV floor is not computable from US filings. See the interactive screener's NAV tab for peers where an SEC figure exists.

Production-weighted average of the country scores below (0 = safest, 100 = riskiest).

How this is scored. Each country's risk (0–100) is anchored to two named public indices — the OECD Country Risk Classification (0–7 official export-credit country risk) and the World Bank Worldwide Governance Indicators (Political Stability & Absence of Violence percentile) — blended 55/45 and rescaled to 0–100. A company's jurisdiction risk is the production-weighted average across the countries where it operates. This is a pure country measure, kept separate from company & financial risk (leverage, governance). Source: OECD Country Risk Classification (CRC) as of 24 July 2025, sourced via the German Federal Export Credit Guarantees (exportkreditgarantien.de) which applies the OECD consensus country risk category directly (values 0-7; 0 = lowest risk). High-income OECD members are not individually rated by the OECD and are set to crc=0 per the model spec (US, UK, Norway, Canada, Australia, Japan, NZ, and most of Europe incl. OECD members Israel, Poland, Hungary, Czechia, Lithuania, Ireland). 'ps' = World Bank Worldwide Governance Indicators (WGI) 'Political Stability and Absence of Violence/Terrorism' percentile rank, latest available (2023 vintage), 0-100 with higher = more stable; ps values are best sourced estimates rounded to the WGI percentile scale. Yemen not on OECD list ('./.') so crc estimated at 7. Iraq-Kurdistan and Falklands are non-standard model rows using judgment, not official OECD entries..
