In 2021, Apache plans to invest $1.1 billion in upstream oil and gas capital, approximately $200 million for exploration and $900 million for production and development activities. This capital program will be more than fully funded by internally generated cash flow under an assumed price deck of $45 WTI oil and $3.00 Henry Hub natural gas. 

“Our strategic approach remains centered around capital discipline and flexibility. We have established a 2021 capital plan that prioritizes generating free cash flow for debt reduction,” Christmann said. “We will continue to aggressively manage our cost structure, focus on long-term returns over short-term growth, continuously progress our ESG efforts, and advance our global exploration activities, most notably offshore Suriname.”
