By GlobalDataBacked by private equity firm NGP Energy Capital Management, Titus Oil & Gas was looking to offload its oil and gas assets to capitalise on higher energy prices and secure ‘bumper valuations’.
In June, Titus and NGP agreed to sell oil producing assets in New Mexico, US, to Earthstone Energy in a deal worth $627m.
Earlier this year, APA divested $805m worth of mostly non-operated properties, located in west Texas and southeast New Mexico in the Delaware basin.
It also offloaded four million shares of its subsidiary oil and gas midstream company Kinetik for approximately $224m.
