CALGARY, Alberta, June 1 (Reuters) - U.S. oil and gas producer Apache Corp (NYSE:APA) APA.N is selling Canadian light oil assets to Canada's Cardinal Energy Ltd CJ.TO so it can focus on high-growth areas like the Permian basin shale play, an Apache spokesman said on Thursday.
The C$330 million ($243.99 million) cash deal includes the House Mountain assets in Alberta and Apache's share of the Weyburn and Midale units in southeast Saskatchewan, which together produce 5,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day. ($1 = 1.3525 Canadian dollars)
