APA Curtails Third-Quarter US Natgas, NGL Production on Weak Prices

(Reuters) – Oil and gas firm APA Corp said on Wednesday it cut about 20 million of cubic feet per day (MMcfpd) of U.S. natural gas production and 1,400 barrels per day of U.S. natural gas liquids production in the third quarter due to weak prices.

APA said net debt and free cash flow came in lower than expected, following third-quarter payments from the Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation and subsequent partner distributions totaling $173 million.
