APA Corporation acquires Callon Petroleum

The purchase is set to strengthen APA’s short-cycle development inventory and its asset base in the Permian Basin.

APA Corporation will acquire Callon Petroleum Company for approximately $4.5 billion. 

Callon’s assets provide additional scale to APA’s operations across the Permian Basin, most notably in the Delaware Basin, where Callon has nearly 120,000 acres. On a pro forma basis, total company production exceeds 500,000 barrels of oil equivalent (BOE) per day and enterprise value increases to more than $21 billion.

“Callon has built a strong portfolio in the Permian Basin that is complementary to our existing Permian assets and rounds out our opportunity set in the Delaware,” said John J. Christmann IV, APA’s CEO and President.

APA’s global portfolio includes ongoing development on large-scale legacy assets in the U.S. and Egypt. The company is also advancing a FEED process for a large-scale FPSO development offshore Suriname. 

In addition to current production and development activities across the globe, APA maintains a differentiated exploration portfolio, which includes newly acquired large-scale blocks offshore Uruguay and onshore state-land leases in Alaska.
