Summary
Apache Corporation (Apache), an oil and gas exploration and production company, agreed to acquire upstream gas assets in Western Canada from BP p.l.c. (BP), an energy company, for a purchase consideration of $3.25 billion. The acquisition includes Western Canadian gas business with net production of 240 million cubic feet (MMcf) of gas per day and 6,500 barrels (Bbl) of liquids per day.
