Apache ups Suriname spending

The US independent will be more active in the frontier province for the rest of the year

Houston-headquartered Apache has upped its expectations of 2022 capex by c.$125mn, driven mainly by expectations of greater activity in Suriname. But, while it continues to appraise a February discovery in the country and drill another well, it is coy on exactly what its plans are for the additional spend. Parent company APA is raising full-year capex guidance by c.8pc, to $1.725bn, even after upstream capex in the year’s first quarter was c.$360mn, or $30mn below guidance. “Approximately half of this increase is associated with Suriname as we now plan to keep the Noble Gerry de Souza drillship in country following conclusion of operations at the Rasper well in block 53,” says the firm’s CEO
