He pointed to steady progress on the company’s strategic priorities and strong operational performance across its asset base.

Christmann explained that APA had originally targeted a $350 million reduction in controllable spending on a run-rate basis by the end of 2027.

He said oil production guidance was achieved or exceeded in every quarter of 2025, even though capital spending came in below the original plan.

This work strengthened confidence in sustaining long-term oil production while improving capital efficiency.

In Egypt, Christmann said the company saw strong momentum supported by targeted development under a new gas pricing framework. He explained that this strategy helped drive production growth. Gas output is expected to average around 540 million to 550 million cubic feet per day during the year.
