Apache第三季度損失減少

US independent Apache has reported a 3Q 2016 net loss of $607mn, less wide than its $4.14bn loss in the same quarter last year. Adjusted for special items, its net loss was $12mn.Net production was 438,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day — of which 0.93bn ft3/d was gas. The total figure excludes Sinopec’s share of its joint venture in Egypt. Three-fifths of net production was in North America, with the rest mostly in Egypt and the North Sea.Apache announced the discovery in September of a major unconventional play called Alpine High, which it estimated at the time holds 75 trillion ft3 of rich gas and 3bn bbls of oil in the Barnett and Woodford formations of Texas’s Delaware basin.
