Second-quarter 2020 curtailed production
Apache did not provide production guidance for the second-quarter 2020 due to the many uncertainties associated with the global pandemic and other external factors affecting markets and operations. Given the increased volatility of oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids prices, Apache elected to curtail production in selected areas of operation.
During the second-quarter 2020, Apache curtailed between 23-25 Mboe/d of production in the United States, of which approximately 18-19 Mboe/d was attributable to Alpine High. Internationally, approximately 10 Mboe/d of oil and gas production was curtailed in the North Sea.
As part of Apache’s organizational re-design implemented this year, asset teams have replaced the regional-based reporting model. Beginning with the second-quarter, Apache’s production and other data will be reported under the headings United States, Egypt, and U.K. North Sea. Selected financial and operational data from specific assets may also be disclosed at management’s discretion in order to provide investors additional information pertaining to underlying business performance.
