Apache Corp. will exit Australia’s energy sector, selling its assets there to a group of private equity funds managed by Macquarie Capital Group Ltd. and Brookfield Asset Management Inc. for $2.1 billion in cash. The assets produced the equivalent of about 49,000 barrels of oil a day in March. The company is keeping a 49 percent stake in fertilizer producer Yara Pilbara Holdings Pty. “Following the sale of our Australian assets, approximately 70% of Apache’s production will come from North America onshore,” John J. Christmann, chief executive officer of Apache, said in a statement Wednesday. Link to Statement:Link
