RE: RE: Apache is Suffering Public_heel, read the news release properly. Apache doesn't have a choice with respect to their payment commitments for Phase 1. Agreement was made since Sept 2011, look at how Apache financial situation has changed since then especially with massive decline in natural gas prices.
"TAG intends to continue and complete the Phase 1 program. Under the Farmout Agreement, ANZ (Apache New Zealand Corporation) is obligated to pay all costs and expenses actually incurred or committed in respect of the Phase 1 program."
