Anadarko Petroleum (APC) Stock Price, News & Analysis

Company Overview

Anadarko Petroleum Corporation was an independent oil and natural gas exploration and production company headquartered in The Woodlands, Texas. The company explored for, developed and produced crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids, with operations focused primarily on onshore and offshore properties.

Anadarko’s U.S. activities included the Delaware and DJ basins, the Gulf of Mexico and other domestic producing regions. Internationally, the company held exploration and production interests in areas including Algeria, Ghana, Mozambique and South Africa. Its portfolio also included major natural gas resources in Mozambique that supported the development of liquefied natural gas projects.

Anadarko was led by Al Walker as chairman and chief executive officer during its final years as an independent company. In August 2019, Occidental Petroleum Corporation completed its acquisition of Anadarko, after which Anadarko ceased operating as a standalone publicly traded company. Accordingly, NASDAQ: APC is a historical reference rather than an active listing for an independent company.
