APA Corporation: Suriname Prospects Improve In Block 53 (Rating Upgrade)
TotalEnergies has acquired a 25% working interest in Block 53 which contains the Baja-1 oil discovery. This partners TTE with APA's 45% working interest in Block 53. This discovery is on the edge of the GranMorgu project, making it a logical extension of the project's capabilities.

APA Corporation: Great Margins And Deep Value
In the United States, crude oil extraction in the Midland and Delaware Basins seeks to increase efficiency with fewer drilling rigs by increasing production volumes. The company's EBTIDA margin of 58.80% is extremely interesting. Furthermore, the leveraged free cash flow margin of 22.45% is extremely significant. I would like to emphasize that if we annualize the latest value and compare it to the current EV of $13.15 billion, the EV/EBITDA ratio is 2.21x.
