APACHE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

These financial statements have been prepared by Apache Corporation (Apache or the Company) without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). They reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods, on a basis consistent with the annual audited financial statements. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Certain information, accounting policies, and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read along with Apache�s Current Report on Form 8-K dated July�17, 2014 for the fiscal year ended December�31, 2013, which contains a summary of the Company�s significant accounting policies and other disclosures.

The Company�s financial statements for prior periods include reclassifications that were made to conform to the current-period presentation. In March 2014, Apache completed the sale of all of its operations in Argentina. Results of operations and cash flows for Argentina operations are reflected as discontinued operations in the Company�s financial statements for all periods presented. For more information regarding this divestiture, please refer to Note 2�Acquisitions and Divestitures.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

As of September�30, 2014, Apache�s significant accounting policies are consistent with those discussed in Note 1�Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the consolidated financial statements contained in Apache�s Current Report on Form 8-K dated July�17, 2014 for the fiscal year ended December�31, 2013, other than the change in income taxes noted below and in Note 7�Income Taxes.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates with regard to these financial statements include the fair value determination of acquired assets and liabilities, the estimate of proved oil and gas reserves and related present value estimates of future net cash flows therefrom, assessing asset retirement obligations, and the estimate of income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Restricted Cash

The Company classifies cash balances as restricted cash when cash is restricted as to withdrawal or usage. As of September�30, 2014, the Company had $545 million of proceeds from the sale of deepwater Gulf of Mexico properties held by a qualified intermediary and available for use in a like-kind exchange under Section�1031 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. As of the date of this filing, the Company has utilized or plans to utilize $471 million of the cash held by the qualified intermediary in the acquisition of like-kind property, and as such, this amount is classified as long-term restricted cash on Apache�s consolidated balance sheet as of September�30, 2014. The remaining $74 million of restricted cash was returned to Apache in October and, as such, is classified as short-term restricted cash on Apache�s consolidated balance sheet as of September�30, 2014. For more information regarding the sale of the deepwater Gulf of Mexico properties, please refer to Note 2�Acquisitions and Divestitures.

Oil and Gas Property

The Company follows the full-cost method of accounting for its oil and gas property. Under this method of accounting, all costs incurred for both successful and unsuccessful exploration and development activities, including salaries, benefits and other internal costs directly identified with these activities, and oil and gas property acquisitions are capitalized. The net book value of oil and gas properties, less related deferred income taxes, may not exceed a calculated �ceiling.� The ceiling limitation is the estimated after-tax future net cash flows from proved oil and gas reserves, discounted at 10 percent per annum and adjusted for designated cash flow hedges. Estimated future net cash flows are calculated using end-of-period costs and an unweighted arithmetic average of commodity prices in effect on the first day of each of the previous 12 months, held flat for the life of the production, except where prices are defined by contractual arrangements.

Any excess of the net book value of proved oil and gas properties, less related deferred income taxes, over the ceiling is charged to expense and reflected as �Additional depreciation, depletion, and amortization� (DD&A) in the accompanying statement of consolidated operations. Such limitations are imposed separately on a country-by-country basis and are tested quarterly. For a discussion of the calculation of estimated future net cash flows, please refer to Note 14�Supplemental Oil and Gas Disclosures to the consolidated financial statements contained in Apache�s Current Report on Form 8-K dated July�17, 2014 for the fiscal year ended December�31, 2013.

In the third quarter of 2014, the Company recorded $1.5 billion ($996 million net of tax) and $17 million ($7 million net of tax) in non-cash write-downs of the carrying value of the Company�s U.S. and North Sea proved oil and gas properties, respectively. In the second quarter of 2014, the Company recorded a $203 million ($77 million net of tax) non-cash write-down of the carrying value of the Company�s North Sea proved oil and gas properties.

Income Taxes

Apache records deferred tax assets and liabilities to account for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the financial statements and tax returns. The Company routinely assesses the realizability of its deferred tax assets. If the Company concludes that it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, the tax asset is reduced by a valuation allowance. Numerous judgments and assumptions are inherent in the determination of future taxable income, including factors such as future operating conditions (particularly as related to prevailing oil and gas prices) and changing tax laws.

Apache is required to assess whether the undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries will be permanently reinvested. In the third quarter of 2014, Apache evaluated its permanent reinvestment position and determined that undistributed earnings from certain subsidiaries located in Apache�s Australia, Egypt, and North Sea regions will no longer be permanently reinvested. As a result of this change in position, Apache recorded a U.S. deferred income tax liability of $814 million on the undistributed earnings of subsidiaries located in these regions. Undistributed earnings of Apache�s Canadian subsidiaries remain permanently reinvested. Apache does not record U.S. deferred income taxes on foreign subsidiaries that are deemed to be permanently reinvested. When such earnings are no longer deemed permanently reinvested, Apache will recognize the appropriate U.S. current or deferred income tax liabilities. In addition, the Company recorded $249 million of U.S. deferred income tax expense on foreign earnings that were distributed to the U.S. in the third quarter of 2014.

New Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Adopted

In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No.�2014-08�Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. ASU 2014-08 modifies the criteria for disposals to qualify as discontinued operations and expands related disclosures. The guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December�15, 2014. Adoption of this amendment will not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

In May 2014, the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued a joint revenue recognition standard, ASU 2014-09. The new standard removes inconsistencies in existing standards, changes the way companies recognize revenue from contracts with customers, and increases disclosure requirements. The guidance requires companies to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December�15, 2016. The standard is required to be adopted using either the full retrospective approach, with all prior periods presented adjusted, or the modified retrospective approach, with a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings on the opening balance sheet.�The Company is currently evaluating the level of effort needed to implement the standard, the impact of adopting this standard on its consolidated financial statements, and whether to use the full retrospective approach or the modified retrospective approach.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No.�2014-15, which requires management of public and private companies to evaluate whether there are conditions and events that raise substantial doubt about the entity�s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued when applicable) and, if so, to disclose that fact. Management will be required to make this evaluation for both annual and interim reporting periods, if applicable. ASU No.�2014-15 is effective for annual periods ending after December�15, 2016 and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December�15, 2016. The Company does not expect the adoption of this amendment to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

2013 Activity

Egypt Partnership

On November�14, 2013, Apache completed the sale of a�one-third�minority participation in its�Egypt�oil and gas business to�a subsidiary of Sinopec International Petroleum Exploration and Production Corporation (Sinopec). Apache received cash consideration of $2.95 billion after customary closing adjustments. Apache continues to operate its Egypt upstream oil and gas business. Apache recorded

8


$1.9 billion of the proceeds as a noncontrolling interest, which is reflected as a separate component of equity in the Company�s consolidated balance sheet. This represents one-third of Apache�s net book value of its Egypt holdings at the time of the transaction. The remaining proceeds were recorded as additional paid-in capital. Included in �Net income including noncontrolling interest� for the quarter ended September�30, 2014, is net income attributable to Sinopec�s interest totaling $89 million. For the first nine months of 2014, net income attributable to Sinopec�s interest totaled $295 million, of which the Company has distributed $124 million to Sinopec.

Gulf of Mexico Shelf Divestiture

On September�30, 2013, Apache completed the sale of its Gulf of Mexico Shelf operations and properties to Fieldwood Energy LLC (Fieldwood), an affiliate of Riverstone Holdings. Under the terms of the agreement, Apache received cash consideration of $3.7 billion, and Fieldwood assumed $1.5 billion of discounted asset abandonment liabilities. Additionally, Apache retained 50 percent of its ownership interest in all exploration blocks and in horizons below production in developed blocks.

Canada LNG Project

In February 2013, Apache completed a transaction with Chevron Canada Limited (Chevron Canada) under which each company became a 50-percent owner of the Kitimat LNG plant, the Pacific Trail Pipelines Limited Partnership (PTP), and 644,000 gross undeveloped acres in the Horn River and Liard basins. Chevron Canada will operate the LNG plant and pipeline while Apache Canada will continue to operate the upstream assets. Apache�s net proceeds from the transaction were $396 million after post-closing adjustments, and no gain or loss was recorded.

3. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

Objectives and Strategies

The Company is exposed to fluctuations in crude oil and natural gas prices on the majority of its worldwide production. Apache manages the variability in its cash flows by occasionally entering into derivative transactions on a portion of its crude oil and natural gas production. The Company utilizes various types of derivative financial instruments, including swaps and options, to manage fluctuations in cash flows resulting from changes in commodity prices.

Counterparty Risk

The use of derivative instruments exposes the Company to counterparty credit risk, or the risk that a counterparty will be unable to meet its commitments. To reduce the concentration of exposure to any individual counterparty, Apache utilizes a diversified group of investment-grade rated counterparties, primarily financial institutions, for its derivative transactions. As of September�30, 2014, Apache had derivative positions with 14 counterparties. The Company monitors counterparty creditworthiness on an ongoing basis; however, it cannot predict sudden changes in counterparties� creditworthiness. In addition, even if such changes are not sudden, the Company may be limited in its ability to mitigate an increase in counterparty credit risk. Should one of these counterparties not perform, Apache may not realize the benefit of some of its derivative instruments resulting from lower commodity prices.

The Company executes commodity derivative transactions under master agreements that have netting provisions that provide for offsetting payables against receivables. In general, if a party to a derivative transaction incurs a material deterioration in its credit ratings, as defined in the applicable agreement, the other party has the right to demand the posting of collateral, demand a transfer, or terminate the arrangement. The Company�s net derivative asset position at September�30, 2014, represents the aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features that are in a net asset position. The Company has not provided any collateral to any of its counterparties as of September�30, 2014.

(1) The natural gas price represents a weighted-average of several contracts entered into on a per-million British thermal units (MMBtu) basis. These contracts are settled against NYMEX Henry Hub and various Inside FERC indices.

Apache has currently elected not to designate any of its qualifying natural gas and oil derivatives as cash flow hedges. Changes in the fair value of these derivatives for the current period are recorded in the Company�s statement of consolidated operations.

Fair Value Measurements

Apache�s commodity derivative instruments consist of variable-to-fixed price commodity swaps. The fair values of the Company�s derivatives are not actively quoted in the open market. The Company uses a market approach to estimate the fair values of its derivative instruments, utilizing commodity futures price strips for the underlying commodities provided by a reputable third party.

The following table presents the Company�s derivative assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

The Company�s debt is recorded at the carrying amount, net of unamortized discount, on its consolidated balance sheet. The carrying amount of the Company�s commercial paper and uncommitted credit facilities and overdraft lines approximates fair value because the interest rates are variable and reflective of market rates. Apache uses a market approach to determine the fair value of its notes and debentures using estimates provided by an independent investment financial data services firm (a Level 2 fair value measurement).

As of September�30, 2014, the Company had unsecured committed revolving credit facilities totaling $3.3 billion, of which $1.0 billion matures in August 2016 and $2.3 billion matures in June 2018 pursuant to a one-year extension approved in May 2014 under the terms of the $2.3 billion facilities. The facilities consist of a $1.7 billion facility and $1.0 billion facility for the U.S., a $300 million facility for Australia, and a $300 million facility for Canada. As of September�30, 2014, available borrowing capacity under the Company�s credit facilities was $2.1 billion. The Company�s committed credit facilities are used to support Apache�s commercial paper program.

12


The Company has available a $3.0 billion commercial paper program, which generally enables Apache to borrow funds for up to 270 days at competitive interest rates. The commercial paper program is fully supported by available borrowing capacity under our committed credit facilities. As of September�30, 2014, the Company had $1.2 billion outstanding in commercial paper. There was no outstanding commercial paper as of December�31, 2013.

As of September�30, 2014, the Company had $20 million of current debt outstanding borrowed on uncommitted credit facilities and overdraft lines, compared with $53 million as of December�31, 2013.

7. INCOME TAXES

In the third quarter of 2014, Apache evaluated its permanent reinvestment position and determined that undistributed earnings from certain foreign subsidiaries located in Apache�s Australia, Egypt, and North Sea regions will no longer be permanently reinvested. As a result of this change in position, the Company recorded $814 million of U.S. deferred income tax expense on undistributed earnings that were previously considered permanently reinvested. In addition, the Company recorded $249 million of U.S. deferred income tax expense on foreign earnings that were distributed to the U.S. in the third quarter of 2014.

The Company estimates its annual effective income tax rate in recording its quarterly provision for income taxes in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Statutory tax rate changes and other significant or unusual items are recognized as discrete items in the quarter in which they occur. Accordingly, in the third quarter of 2014, the Company recorded $814 million of U.S. deferred income tax expense on foreign earnings no longer deemed to be permanently reinvested as well as the income tax effect of the $1.5 billion and $17 million non-cash write-downs of its U.S. and North Sea proved oil and gas properties, respectively, as discrete items in the third quarter of 2014. In the second quarter of 2014, the Company recorded the income tax impact of a $203 million non-cash write-down of its North Sea proved oil and gas properties as a discrete item. In the third quarter of 2013, the Company recorded the income tax impact of a $552 million non-cash write-down and a $75 million non-cash impairment on its U.S. and Kenyan oil and gas properties, respectively, as discrete items.

Apache and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income or capital taxes in various state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company�s tax reserves are related to tax years that may be subject to examination by the relevant taxing authority. In October 2014, the Internal Revenue Service concluded its audit of the 2011 and 2012 tax years. The Company is under audit in various states and in most of the Company�s foreign jurisdictions as part of its normal course of business.

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Matters

Apache is party to various legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, including litigation and governmental and regulatory controls. As of September�30, 2014, the Company has an accrued liability of approximately $21 million for all legal contingencies that are deemed to be probable of occurring and can be reasonably estimated. Apache�s estimates are based on information known about the matters and its experience in contesting, litigating, and settling similar matters. Although actual amounts could differ from management�s estimate, none of the actions are believed by management to involve future amounts that would be material to Apache�s financial position, results of operations, or liquidity after consideration of recorded accruals. For material matters that Apache believes an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible, the Company has disclosed the nature of the matter and a range of potential exposure, unless an estimate cannot be made at this time. It is management�s opinion that the loss for any other litigation matters and claims that are reasonably possible to occur will not have a material adverse effect on the Company�s financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

For additional information on each of the Legal Matters described below, please see Note 8�Commitments and Contingencies to the consolidated financial statements contained in Apache�s Current Report on Form 8-K dated July�17, 2014 for the fiscal year ended December�31, 2013.

Argentine Environmental Claims and Argentina Tariff

The Asociaci�n de Superficiarios de la Patagonia (ASSUPA) filed lawsuits against Company subsidiaries in Argentina courts relating to various environmental and remediation claims concerning certain geographic areas of Argentina, including in 2003 the Neuqu�n basin and in 2012 the Austral basin. In addition, effective December�1, 2011, Enargas, an autonomous entity that functions under the Argentine Ministry of Economy, created a tariff charge on all fuel gas used by oil and gas producers in field operations, which is likewise the subject of legal proceedings in Argentina.

On March�12, 2014, the Company and its subsidiaries completed the sale of all of the Company�s subsidiaries� operations and properties in Argentina to YPF Sociedad Anonima (YPF). As part of that sale, YPF assumed responsibility for all of the past, present, and future litigation in Argentina involving Company subsidiaries, including the ASSUPA and Enargas matters, except that Company subsidiaries have agreed to indemnify YPF for certain environmental, tax, and royalty obligations capped at an aggregate of $100 million. The indemnity is subject to specific agreed conditions precedent, thresholds, contingencies, limitations, claim deadlines, loss sharing, and other terms and conditions. On April�11, 2014, YPF provided its first notice of claims pursuant to the indemnity. Company subsidiaries have not paid any amounts under the indemnity, but will continue to review and consider claims presented by YPF. Further, Company subsidiaries retain the right to enforce certain Argentina-related indemnification obligations against Pioneer Natural Resources Company (Pioneer) in an amount up to $67.5 million pursuant to the terms and conditions of stock purchase agreements entered in 2006 between Company subsidiaries and certain subsidiaries of Pioneer. No other material change in the status of these matters has occurred since the filing of Apache�s Current Report on Form 8-K dated July�17, 2014 for its 2013 fiscal year.

Louisiana Restoration

Numerous surface owners have filed claims or sent demand letters to various oil and gas companies, including Apache, claiming that, under either expressed or implied lease terms or Louisiana law, they are liable for damage measured by the cost of restoration of leased premises to their original condition as well as damages for contamination and cleanup.

In a case captioned Heloise, LLC, et al. v. BP America Production Company, et al., Case No.�120113 in the District Court for the Parish of Lafourche, plaintiff landowners allege that defendants� oil and gas operations contaminated their property primarily with chlorides. Apache, a defendant in the case, acquired its interest in the oil and gas operations on plaintiffs� property from the former operator, Amoco Production Company, when the Company purchased the stock of Amoco�s subsidiary, MW Petroleum Corporation, in 1991. BP America Production Company (BP America), as Amoco�s successor in interest, and Apache dispute whether and to what extent they might owe each other indemnity in the case. Plaintiffs� expert opined that the cost of remediating plaintiffs� 825 acres exceeds $200 million. Prior to trial, Apache and BP America each settled with plaintiff. The amount paid by Apache in settlement is not material and does not have a material effect on the Company�s financial position, results of operations, or liquidity. Further, as part of the overall settlement, each of Apache and BP America released and waived its indemnity claim against the other arising out of this litigation. The lawsuit is concluded.

With respect to Board of Commissioners of the Southeast Louisiana Flood Protection Authority � East v. Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company et al., Civil Action no. 13-5410, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana, the federal court has retained jurisdiction over the matter after denying plaintiff�s motion to remand on June�27, 2014. Further, the Louisiana state government has passed a new law (SB 469) clarifying that only entities authorized under the Coastal Zone Management Act may bring litigation to assert claims arising out of the permitted activities. Plaintiff is not one of those authorized entities. The Company and other defendants seek dismissal of the case, including pursuant to SB 469.

14


No other material change in the status of these matters has occurred since the filing of Apache�s Current Report on Form 8-K dated July�17, 2014 for its 2013 fiscal year.

Australia Gas Pipeline Force Majeure

In 2008, Company subsidiaries reported a pipeline explosion that interrupted deliveries of natural gas in Australia to customers under various long-term contracts.

In the case captioned Alcoa of Australia Limited v. Apache Energy Limited, Apache Northwest Pty Ltd, Tap (Harriet) Pty Ltd, and Kufpec Australia Pty Ltd, Civ. 1481 of 2011, in the Supreme Court of Western Australia, on June�20, 2012, the Supreme Court struck out Alcoa�s claim that the liquidated damages provisions under two long-term contracts are unenforceable as a penalty and also struck out Alcoa�s claim for damages for breach of statutory duty. On September�17, 2013, the Western Australia Court of Appeal dismissed the Company subsidiaries� appeal concerning Alcoa�s remaining tort claim for economic loss. On October�15, 2013, the Company subsidiaries applied to the High Court of Australia for special leave to appeal. On April�11, 2014, the High Court refused special leave to appeal. However, on October�8, 2014, the High Court decided a separate case on point captioned Brookfield Multiplex Ltd v. Owners Corporation Strata Plan 61288�& Anor, [2014] HCA 36. The High Court�s holding in the Brookfield case strongly favors the Company subsidiaries� defenses to Alcoa�s remaining tort claim for economic loss. All of the Company subsidiaries� defenses remain intact for further proceedings at the trial court level, including the defenses that were the subject of the special leave application and that have now been considered separately by the High Court in the Brookfield case. Further, in January 2014, an Alcoa affiliate pleaded guilty in United States of America v. Alcoa World Alumina LLC, Criminal No.�14-7, in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, to a charge under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) anti-bribery provisions, 15 U.S.C. Section�78dd-2 and 18 U.S.C. Section�2. This matter overlaps with Alcoa�s claims against Company subsidiaries in that both cases concern alumina produced from Alcoa�s alumina refineries in Western Australia during the period of the gas supply disruption in 2008-2009. In the circumstances of the admitted, agreed, and stipulated facts set forth in the Alcoa affiliate�s Plea Agreement, which is a public document, Company subsidiaries will defend against Alcoa�s claims on the basis that Alcoa is barred by law from recovering economic losses.

In the week prior to expiration of the applicable six-year limitations period on June�3, 2014, the following civil lawsuits were filed in connection with the Varanus Island pipeline explosion (the Incident), and the amounts specified do not include plaintiffs� alleged interest and costs:

As previously reported, a lawsuit filed by Burrup Fertilisers Pty Ltd (Burrup Fertilisers) in Texas in December 2009 was dismissed in March 2013 on the ground of forum non conveniens. On May�29, 2014, Burrup Fertilisers (now known as Yara Pilbara Fertilisers Pty Ltd, YPFPL) re-filed the lawsuit in Western Australia, captioned Yara Pilbara Fertilisers Pty Ltd vs. Apache Energy Limited et al., Civ. 1742 of 2014, in the Supreme Court of Western Australia. In the lawsuit, which is being pressed by YPFPL�s insurers, YPFPL alleges that a joint venture whose members include an Apache subsidiary supplied YPFPL with natural gas and that, as a consequence of a disruption in gas supply following the Incident, plaintiff incurred damages in the amount of nearly $166 million USD for economic losses and, alternatively, contractual liquidated damages and �abnormal costs� in the amount of approximately $13 million USD. In addition to all of their other defenses, the Company and its subsidiaries will defend against YPFPL�s claims on the basis that during the gas supply disruption there was no enforceable gas supply contract between YPFPL and Company subsidiaries.

In Wesfarmers LPG Pty Ltd et al. vs. Apache Energy Limited et al., Civ. 1740 of 2014, in the Supreme Court of Western Australia, plaintiffs allege that Alinta Sales Pty Ltd (Alinta) supplied them (and associated entities) with natural gas and that, as a consequence of a disruption in gas supply following the Incident, plaintiffs incurred an unspecified amount of damages for alleged lost profits, alternative gas, and associated expenses. Plaintiffs� Indorsement of Claim (a short form of pleading) has been filed with the court but not yet served on the Apache defendants.

In Iluka Resources Limited vs. Apache Energy Limited et al., Civ. 1748 of 2014, in the Supreme Court of Western Australia, plaintiff alleges that Alinta supplied it with natural gas and power and that, as a consequence of a disruption in gas supply following the Incident, plaintiff incurred damages of approximately $23 million (no currency is specified) for alleged lost profits, alternative energy, and associated expenses. Plaintiff�s lawyers have since clarified that the amount sought by plaintiff is $32 million. Plaintiff�s Indorsement of Claim has been filed with the court but not yet served on the Apache defendants.

15


In Harvey Industries Group Pty Ltd vs. Apache Energy Limited et al., Civ. 1749 of 2014, in the Supreme Court of Western Australia, plaintiff alleges that Alinta supplied it with natural gas and power and that, as a consequence of a disruption in gas supply following the Incident, plaintiff incurred an unspecified amount of damages for alleged lost profits, the cost of alternative gas and power, and associated expenses. Plaintiff�s Indorsement of Claim has been filed with the court but not yet served on the Apache defendants.

In EDL LNG (WA) Pty Ltd et al. vs. Apache Energy Limited et al., Civ. 1751 of 2014, in the Supreme Court of Western Australia, plaintiffs allege that an Apache subsidiary and Santos (BOL) Pty Ltd supplied one such plaintiff with natural gas and that, as a consequence of a disruption in gas supply following the Incident, plaintiffs incurred damages of approximately $17.5 million (no currency is specified) for alleged alternative gas and diesel, and, alternatively, plaintiffs seek an unspecified amount of liquidated damages from their gas sellers.

In Newmont Mining Services Pty Ltd et al. vs. Apache Energy Limited et al., Civ. 1727 of 2014, in the Supreme Court of Western Australia, plaintiffs allege that Santos (BOL) Pty Ltd supplied one such plaintiff with natural gas and that, as a consequence of a disruption in gas supply following the Incident, plaintiffs incurred an unspecified amount of damages for alleged alternative energy and associated expenses, except that as an alternative measure of damage plaintiffs seek to recover $6.4 million (no currency is specified) in liquidated damages from Santos (BOL) Pty Ltd. Plaintiffs� Indorsement of Claim has been filed with the court but not yet served on the Apache defendants.

With respect to the claims in which the plaintiffs have not specified an amount of alleged damages in their court filings, the exposure related to such claims is not material or, in the case of Wesfarmers, not currently determinable but not expected to be material. Insurance statistics maintained by the Insurance Council of Australia show that the total insured loss resulting from the gas supply disruption was $230 million AUD.

The applicable six-year limitations period has expired. In six years none of the above-referenced plaintiffs presented a claim to Apache or its subsidiaries prior to filing suit and instead, each allowed the same plaintiff law firm to file suit in Western Australia at the latest possible moment. The Apache defendants do not believe that any of the claims have merit and will vigorously pursue their defenses against such claims. The plaintiffs seek relief primarily in tort, in circumvention of their own positive arrangements regarding risk allocation and in contravention of the High Court�s decision in the Brookfield case. In respect of the pending claims filed prior to expiration of the limitations period, contractual liquidated damages under the long-term contracts with such provisions, and under which an Apache subsidiary is a gas supplier, would not be expected to exceed $20 million AUD exclusive of interest. This is a reduction from previous estimates. In addition, Company subsidiaries have received confirmation of liability insurance coverage from both the primary insurer and the excess insurers.

No other material change in the status of these matters has occurred since the filing of Apache�s Current Report on Form 8-K dated July�17, 2014 for its 2013 fiscal year.

Breton Lawsuit

On October�29, 2012, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint in Breton Energy, L.L.C. et al. v. Mariner Energy Resources, Inc., et al., Case 4:11-cv-03561, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division, seeking compensation from defendants for allegedly depriving plaintiffs of rights to hydrocarbons in a reservoir described by plaintiffs as a common reservoir in West Cameron Blocks 171 and 172 offshore Louisiana in the Gulf of Mexico. Plaintiffs assert claims for waste and drainage. On May�28, 2013, the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas dismissed the plaintiffs� claims and entered judgment in favor of the defendants. Plaintiffs appealed. On August�12, 2014, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit affirmed the District Court as to the claims for waste against all defendants except International Paper and also affirmed the District Court as to the claims for drainage against all defendants. The Company�s subsidiary, Mariner Energy Resources, Inc. (now known as Apache Shelf, Inc.), was dismissed from the case but is obligated to indemnify the remaining defendant, International Paper, against the sole remaining claim. Prior to trial, which was to commence on November�3, 2014, plaintiffs settled their remaining claim in an amount that is not material and does not have a material effect on the Company�s financial position, results of operations, or liquidity. The lawsuit is concluded.

Escheat Audits

The State of Delaware, Department of Finance, Division of Revenue (Unclaimed Property), has notified numerous companies, including Apache Corporation, that the State intends to examine its books and records and those of its subsidiaries and related entities to determine compliance with the Delaware Escheat Laws. The review is ongoing, and no material change in the status of this matter has occurred since the filing of Apache�s Current Report on Form 8-K dated July�17, 2014 for its 2013 fiscal year.

Burrup-Related Gas Supply Lawsuits

On October�11, 2013, a lawsuit captioned Pankaj Oswal v. Apache Corporation, No. WAD 389/2013, in the Federal Court of Australia, District of Western Australia, General Division, was filed in which plaintiff asserts claims against the Company under the Australian Trade Practices Act. The case has been set for a preliminary hearing commencing December�8, 2014. The Company does not believe the lawsuit has merit and will vigorously defend against it. No other material change in the status of this matter has occurred since the filing of Apache�s Current Report on Form 8-K dated July�17, 2014 for its 2013 fiscal year.

In the case captioned Radhika Oswal v. Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited (ANZ) et al., No. SCI 2011 4653, in the Supreme Court of Victoria, plaintiff filed an application seeking to amend her statement of claim in order to add parties as defendants to the proceedings, including the Company and certain of its subsidiaries. Similarly, in a companion case captioned Pankaj Oswal v. Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited (ANZ) et al., No. SCI 2012 01995, in the Supreme Court of Victoria, plaintiff also filed an application seeking to amend his statement of claim in order to add parties as defendants to the proceedings, including the Company and certain of its subsidiaries. This was the second attempt by the plaintiffs to amend their pleadings, with their first attempt having been unsuccessful. While reserving all rights, including all defenses to the plaintiffs� proposed amended pleadings, the Company and its subsidiaries did not object to the plaintiffs� revised applications to amend their pleadings, which is a procedural matter. The court granted plaintiffs� applications and entered a scheduling order with respect to the filing of all amended pleadings. On July�23, 2014, the Apache defendants filed their responsive pleadings, which include substantial counterclaims against the Oswals by a Company subsidiary. The Company and its subsidiaries do not believe the plaintiffs� claims have merit and will vigorously defend against them. Trial is set to commence August�3, 2015. No other material change in the status of these matters has occurred since the filing of Apache�s Current Report on Form 8-K dated July�17, 2014 for its 2013 fiscal year.

Concerning the action filed by Tap (Harriet) Pty Ltd (Tap) against Burrup Fertilisers Pty Ltd et al., Civ. 2329 of 2009, in the Supreme Court of Western Australia, the remaining parties have settled and the lawsuit has been discontinued by consent. The lawsuit is concluded.

Environmental Matters

As of September�30, 2014, the Company had an undiscounted reserve for environmental remediation of approximately $86 million. The Company is not aware of any environmental claims existing as of September�30, 2014, that have not been provided for or would otherwise have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations, or liquidity. There can be no assurance, however, that current regulatory requirements will not change or past non-compliance with environmental laws will not be discovered on the Company�s properties.

On May�25, 2011, a panel of the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEMRE, as it was then known) published a report dated May�23, 2011, and titled �OCS G-2580, Vermilion Block 380 Platform A, Incidents of Noncompliance.� The report concerned the BOEMRE�s investigation of a fire on the Vermilion 380 A platform located in the Gulf of Mexico. At the time of the incident, Mariner operated the platform. On December�27, 2011, the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE, successor to BOEMRE) issued several Incidents of Non-Compliance, which may provide the basis for the assessment of civil penalties against Mariner. The Company�s subsidiary, Apache Deepwater LLC, which is the successor by merger to Mariner effective November�10, 2010, has been presented with a BSEE notice of proposed civil penalty assessment in an amount that is not material and that will not have a material effect on the Company�s financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

No other material change in the status of these matters has occurred since the filing of Apache�s Current Report on Form 8-K dated July�17, 2014 for its 2013 fiscal year.

ITEM�2�� MANAGEMENT�S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Apache Corporation, a Delaware corporation formed in 1954, is an independent energy company that explores for, develops and produces natural gas, crude oil, and natural gas liquids. The Company has exploration and production interests in five countries: the United States (U.S.), Canada, Egypt, Australia, and the United Kingdom (U.K.) North Sea. Apache also pursues exploration interests in other countries that may over time result in reportable discoveries and development opportunities.

This discussion relates to Apache Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included under Part I, Item�1, �Financial Statements� of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as our consolidated financial statements, accompanying notes and Management�s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Current Report on Form 8-K dated July�17, 2014 for our 2013 fiscal year.

Strategic Overview

Over the last five years, Apache has greatly enlarged and enhanced its North American onshore resource base, which we believe is capable of driving our growth and performance for the foreseeable future. During the last 18 months, we have further increased the focus on our North American Onshore business by divesting $10 billion of properties. In North America, we completed the sale of our Gulf of Mexico Shelf region assets, certain non-producing assets in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico, and non-strategic, primarily dry-gas, assets in Canada. Internationally, we sold a one-third noncontrolling interest in our Egypt operations and all of our assets in Argentina. In addition, we intend to completely exit the Wheatstone and Kitimat LNG projects, and, in light of our expanding opportunity set in North American Onshore, we are evaluating our international assets and exploring multiple opportunities, including the potential separation of some or all of them through the capital markets.

In addition, in June 2013 we launched a share repurchase program. Through September�30, 2014, we have repurchased a total of 31.8�million of the 40�million shares authorized by our Board of Directors. Under the program, we are not obligated to acquire any specific number of shares.

Financial Highlights

Net cash provided by operating activities (operating cash flows or cash flows) totaled $6.5 billion for the first nine months of 2014, driven by the strength of our North American drilling program.

For the third quarter of 2014, Apache reported a loss of $1.3 billion, or $3.50 per diluted common share, compared with earnings of $300 million, or $0.75 per diluted share, for the prior-year quarter. The loss for the 2014 third quarter reflects after-tax write-downs of oil and gas properties in the U.S. and U.K. North Sea totaling $1.0 billion, a deferred tax charge on undistributed foreign earnings totaling $814 million, and a deferred tax charge on distributed foreign earnings of $249 million. These expenses were partially offset by an unrealized after-tax gain on commodity derivative mark-to-market changes of $202 million.

Results for the first nine months of 2014 reflected a loss of $589 million, or $1.52 per diluted common share, compared with earnings of $2.0 billion, or $5.06 per diluted share, in the comparable prior-year period. The loss for the 2014 nine-month period reflects after-tax write-downs of oil and gas properties in the U.S. and U.K. North Sea totaling $1.1 billion, third-quarter deferred tax adjustments noted above, and an after-tax loss of $517 million on discontinued operations in Argentina. These expenses were partially offset by an unrealized after-tax gain on commodity derivative mark-to-market changes of $220 million.

Third Quarter Operational Developments

Average daily production in the third quarter of 2014 totaled 637�thousand barrels of oil equivalent (Mboe), a decrease of 105 Mboe from the comparative 2013 quarter. The prior-year quarter includes volumes from properties in the Gulf of Mexico Shelf and Canada that have since been divested.

North America

North American onshore liquids averaged 211,402 barrels per day, up 12 percent over the prior-year quarter.

30


North American onshore liquids production represented nearly 55 percent of our worldwide liquids production and 33 percent of our overall production.

The Permian region averaged 42 operated rigs during the quarter, drilling 195 gross wells, 144 net wells. Combined, drilling activity in the region resulted in a production increase of 23 percent relative to the prior-year period.

The Central region averaged 31 operated rigs during the quarter, drilling 70 gross wells, 46 net wells, in plays such as the Granite Wash, Marmaton and Cleveland. In the Canyon Lime play, the region averaged 2 rigs in the third quarter, increasing to 5 by October.

Gulf Coast region averaged 10 operated rigs during the quarter, drilling 19 gross wells, 14 net wells. In the East Texas Eagle Ford play, the region brought on 6 new wells in the Reveille area of Brazos County with an average 30-day initial production of 687 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/d).

The Canada region averaged 8 operated rigs, 2 at Kitimat, during the quarter, drilling 25 gross wells, 20 net wells. Apache spud initial wells at the Duvernay seven well pad and drilled the first well at the Montney two well pad.

International

The Australia region averaged 2 rigs, drilling 5 gross wells, 2 net wells, during the quarter. Production was up 12 percent over the second quarter of 2014 as a result of the successful commencement of production from the Balnaves Oil Development. In addition, during the quarter, the Company made a significant first oil discovery in Australia�s offshore Canning Basin at the Phoenix South-1 well which encountered oil in 4 discrete columns, the results of which are still being evaluated.

The North Sea region averaged 5 rigs, drilling 4 gross wells, 4 net wells. During the quarter, the region successfully completed the regular scheduled annual maintenance turnaround across all operated assets ahead of schedule and without incident.

The Egypt region averaged 27 rigs during the quarter, drilling 63 gross wells, 54 net wells.

Third-Quarter 2014 compared to Third-Quarter 2013

Crude Oil Revenues Crude oil revenues for the third quarter of 2014 totaled $2.8 billion, a $715 million decrease from the comparative 2013 quarter. A 9 percent decrease in average daily production decreased third-quarter 2014 revenues by $280 million compared to the prior-year quarter, while 13 percent lower realized prices decreased revenues by $435 million. Crude oil prices realized in the third quarter of 2014 averaged $94.69 per barrel, compared with $108.27 in the comparative prior-year quarter. Crude oil accounted for 79 percent of oil and gas production revenues and 50 percent of worldwide production in the third quarter of 2014.

Worldwide production decreased 32�thousand barrels of oil per day (Mb/d) from the third quarter of 2013 to 316 Mb/d, primarily as a result of the divestiture of our Gulf of Mexico Shelf assets on September�30, 2013. Exclusive of production from these divested assets, oil production increased 13 Mb/d, primarily on drilling and recompletion activity in the U.S. Permian region, partially offset by production decreases in Canada, Egypt and the North Sea.

Natural Gas Revenues Gas revenues for the third quarter of 2014 totaled $538 million, down 17 percent from the third quarter of 2013. A 23 percent decrease in average production reduced natural gas revenues by $164 million as compared to the prior-year quarter, while a 9 percent increase in average realized prices increased revenues by $57 million. Natural gas accounted for 16 percent of our oil and gas production revenues and 40 percent of our equivalent production.

34


Worldwide natural gas production was 460�million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d) lower than the third quarter of 2013, primarily as a result of the divestiture of our Gulf of Mexico Shelf assets on September�30, 2013 and certain Western Canadian assets over the last 12 months. Exclusive of production from these divested assets, our worldwide gas production was essentially flat.

NGL Revenues NGL revenues for the third quarter of 2014 totaled $177 million, up $2 million from the third quarter of 2013. A 5 percent increase in average NGL production increased NGL revenues by $9 million compared to the prior-year quarter, while a 4 percent decrease in average realized prices decreased revenues by $7 million. NGLs accounted for approximately 5 percent of our oil and gas production revenues and 10 percent of our equivalent production during the third quarter of 2014.

Worldwide production of NGLs increased 3.5 Mb/d to 69.1 Mb/d in the third quarter of 2014, primarily from increased drilling activity in the Permian region offset by the divestiture of our Gulf of Mexico Shelf assets on September�30, 2013. Exclusive of production from these divested assets, our worldwide NGL production increased 8.7 Mb/d.

Year-to-Date 2014 compared to Year-to-Date 2013

Crude Oil Revenues Crude oil revenues for the first nine months of 2014 totaled $8.5 billion, $1.3 billion lower than the comparative 2013 period, the result of a 10 percent decrease in worldwide production and a 3 percent decrease in average realized prices. Crude oil accounted for 79 percent of oil and gas production revenues and 49 percent of worldwide production for the first nine months of 2014. Lower production volumes reduced revenue by $952 million compared to the first nine months of 2013, and lower realized prices reduced revenues by $320 million. Crude oil prices realized in the first nine months of 2014 averaged $99.71 per barrel, compared with $103.07 in the comparative prior-year period.

Worldwide production declined 35 Mb/d to 313 Mb/d in the first nine months of this year from the same period last year, primarily as a result of the divestiture of our Gulf of Mexico Shelf assets on September�30, 2013. Exclusive of production from these divested assets, worldwide production increased 10 Mb/d, primarily a result of drilling and recompletion activity in our Permian region.

Natural Gas Revenues Gas revenues for the first nine months of 2014 totaled $1.8 billion, down 13 percent from the comparative 2013 period. A 22 percent decline in average production reduced natural gas revenues by $499 million, partially offset by an 11 percent increase in average realized prices that added $224 million to revenues. Natural gas accounted for 16 percent of our oil and gas production revenues and 41 percent of our equivalent production, compared to 17 percent and 45 percent, respectively, for the 2013 period.

Our worldwide natural gas production was 437 MMcf/d lower than the first nine months of 2013 as a result of the divestiture of our Gulf of Mexico Shelf assets on September�30, 2013 and certain Western Canadian assets over the last 12 months. Exclusive of production from these divested assets, worldwide production was essentially flat.

NGL Revenues NGL revenues for the first nine months of 2014 totaled $532 million, up $59 million from the comparative 2013 period. A 4 percent increase in average production increased NGL revenues by $22 million as compared to the prior-year period, and an 8 percent increase in average realized prices increased revenues by $37 million. NGLs accounted for nearly 5 percent of our oil and gas production revenues and 10 percent of our equivalent production during the first nine months of 2014.

Worldwide production of NGLs increased 2.7 Mb/d to 65.4 Mb/d in the first nine months of 2014, primarily from drilling and recompletion activity in the Central and Permian regions. Exclusive of production from divested assets, our worldwide NGL production increased 9.4 Mb/d.

Oil and gas property recurring DD&A expense of $1.2 billion in the third quarter of 2014 decreased $99 million compared to the prior-year quarter on an absolute dollar basis: $157 million from lower volumes offset by $58 million increase on rate. Oil and gas property recurring DD&A expense of $3.4 billion in the first nine months of 2014 decreased $303 million compared to the prior-year period on an absolute dollar basis: $487 million from lower volumes offset by $184 million increase on rate. The Company�s oil and gas property recurring DD&A rate increased $1.40 and $1.30 per boe for the third quarter and first nine months of 2014, respectively, compared to the prior-year periods.

Additional DD&A Under the full-cost method of accounting, the Company is required to review the carrying value of its proved oil and gas properties each quarter on a country-by-country basis. Under these rules, capitalized costs of oil and gas properties, net of accumulated DD&A and deferred income taxes, may not exceed the present value of estimated future net cash flows from proved oil and gas reserves, net of related tax effects and discounted 10 percent per annum. Estimated future net cash flows are calculated using end-of-period costs and an unweighted arithmetic average of commodity prices in effect on the first day of each of the previous 12 months, held flat for the life of the production, except where prices are defined by contractual arrangements. Any excess of the net book value of proved oil and gas properties, less related deferred income taxes, over the ceiling is charged to expense and reflected as �Additional DD&A� in the statement of consolidated operations.

In the third quarter of 2014, the Company recorded $1.5 billion ($996 million net of tax) and $17 million ($7 million net of tax) in non-cash write-down of the carrying value of the Company�s U.S. and North Sea proved oil and gas properties, respectively. In the second quarter of 2014, the Company recorded a $203 million ($77 million net of tax) non-cash write-down of the carrying value of the Company�s North Sea proved oil and gas properties.

Australia Petroleum Resource Rent Tax (PRRT) expense is a levy assessed on the sale of hydrocarbons derived from specific developmental areas in Australia. We incurred a $45 million charge in the third quarter of 2014. Prior periods reflect no PRRT expense as sales subject to PRRT were fully offset by credits derived from exploration and development expenditures. The North Sea Petroleum Revenue Tax (PRT) is assessed on qualifying fields in the U.K. North Sea. U.K. PRT for the third quarter of 2014 was lower than the 2013 period based on lower revenues. Severance tax expense increased $4 million as a result of higher U.S. onshore production.

37


U.K. PRT for the first nine months of 2014 was lower when compared to the 2013 period based on a decrease in production revenue. For the first nine months of 2014, higher sales volumes increased severance taxes by $14 million as compared to the first nine months of 2013.

General and Administrative Expenses General and administrative expenses (G&A) for the third quarter of 2014 decreased $8 million from the third quarter of 2013 on an absolute basis and increased $0.13 per boe on a per-unit basis. For the first nine months of 2014 G&A decreased $50 million on an absolute basis from the comparable 2013 period and increased $0.01 per boe on a per-unit basis. Expense for the nine-month 2014 period includes a $25 million benefit from nonrecurring third party cost reimbursements.

Acquisition, Divestiture and Separation Costs During the third quarter of 2014, the Company recognized $34 million in acquisition, divestiture, and separation costs related to acquisition and divestiture activity. For the nine-month 2014 period, the Company recognized $66 million in acquisition, divestiture, and separation costs.

Financing Costs, Net Financing costs incurred during the period comprised the following:

Net financing costs were down $9 million and $54 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2014, respectively, compared to the same 2013 periods. The $16 million and $55 million decreases in interest expense in the third quarter and first nine months of 2014, respectively, were a result of lower average debt balances.

Provision for Income Taxes In the third quarter of 2014, Apache evaluated its permanent reinvestment position and determined that undistributed earnings from certain foreign subsidiaries located in Apache�s Australia, Egypt, and North Sea regions will no longer be permanently reinvested. As a result of this change in position, the Company recorded $814 million of U.S. deferred income tax expense on the undistributed earnings that were previously considered permanently reinvested. In addition, the Company recorded $249 million of U.S. deferred income tax expense on foreign earnings that were distributed to the U.S. in the third quarter of 2014.

The Company estimates its annual effective income tax rate in recording its quarterly provision for income taxes in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Statutory tax rate changes and other significant or unusual items are recognized as discrete items in the quarter in which they occur. Accordingly, in the third quarter of 2014, the Company recorded $814 million of U.S. deferred income tax expense on foreign earnings no longer deemed to be permanently reinvested as well as the income tax effect of the $1.5 billion and $17 million non-cash write-downs of its U.S. and North Sea proved oil and gas properties, respectively, as discrete items in the third quarter of 2014. In the second quarter of 2014, the Company recorded the income tax impact of a $203 million non-cash write-down of its North Sea proved oil and gas properties as a discrete item. In the third quarter of 2013, the Company recorded the income tax impact of a $552 million non-cash write-down and a $75 million non-cash impairment on its U.S. and Kenyan oil and gas properties, respectively, as discrete items. Excluding these items and certain other tax adjustments, the third quarter 2014 and 2013 rates would have been 44 percent and 41 percent, respectively.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

Operating cash flows are the Company�s primary source of liquidity. We may also elect to utilize available committed borrowing capacity, access to both debt and equity capital markets, or proceeds from the sale of nonstrategic assets for all other liquidity and capital resource needs. As a majority of our capital investment activity is discretionary, we routinely adjust our capital budget on a quarterly basis in response to changing market conditions and operating cash flow forecasts.

Apache�s operating cash flows, both in the short-term and the long-term, are impacted by volatile oil and natural gas prices. Significant deterioration in commodity prices negatively impacts our revenues, earnings and cash flows, and potentially our liquidity if spending does not trend downward as well. Sales volumes and costs also impact cash flows; however, these historically have not been as volatile and have less impact than commodity prices in the short-term.

Apache�s long-term operating cash flows are dependent on reserve replacement and the level of costs required for ongoing operations. Cash investments are required to fund activity necessary to offset the inherent declines in production and proved crude oil and natural gas reserves. Future success in maintaining and growing reserves and production is highly dependent on the success of our drilling program and our ability to add reserves at reasonable costs.

38


We believe the liquidity and capital resource alternatives available to Apache, combined with internally generated cash flows, will be adequate to fund short-term and long-term operations, including our capital spending program, repayment of debt maturities, and any amount that may ultimately be paid in connection with contingencies.

For additional information, please see Part II, Item�1A, �Risk Factors� of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Part I, Items 1 and 2, �Business and Properties,� and Item�1A, �Risk Factors,� in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our 2013 fiscal year.

Net Cash Provided by Continuing Operating Activities Operating cash flows are our primary source of capital and liquidity and are impacted, both in the short-term and the long-term, by volatile oil and natural gas prices. The factors that determine operating cash flow are largely the same as those that affect net earnings, with the exception of non-cash expenses such as DD&A, asset retirement obligation (ARO) accretion, and deferred income tax expense, which affect earnings but do not affect cash flows.

Net cash provided by continuing operating activities for the first nine months of 2014 totaled $6.4 billion, a decrease of $754 million from the first nine months of 2013. The decrease primarily reflects the impact of 2013 divestitures and comparative changes in working capital during the periods.

39


For a detailed discussion of commodity prices, production, and expenses, refer to the �Results of Operations� of this Item�2. For additional detail on the changes in operating assets and liabilities and the non-cash expenses that do not impact net cash provided by operating activities, please see the statement of consolidated cash flows in Part I, Item�1, Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Proceeds from the Sale of Argentina In March 2014, we completed the previously disclosed sale of our Argentina operations and properties to YPF Sociedad An�nima for cash consideration of $800 million (subject to customary closing adjustments) plus the assumption of $52 million of bank debts as of June�30, 2013. The results of operations related to Argentina have been classified as discontinued operations in all periods presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Capital Expenditures During the first nine months of 2014, capital spending for E&D activities totaled $7.1 billion compared to $7.2 billion in the prior year period. Apache�s E&D capital spending was primarily focused on our North American onshore assets. In the Permian region we averaged 42 operated drilling rigs during the quarter. Our recent drilling successes in the Permian have led the region to increase the number of horizontal drilling rigs being utilized, and now two-thirds of our rigs are drilling horizontal wells that, given their nature, are more costly than vertical wells. In our Gulf Coast region, we are increasing activity on our Eagle Ford acreage in Texas and have nearly tripled E&D spending over the 2013 nine-month period.

Apache also completed leasehold and property acquisitions totaling $655 million during the first nine months of 2014, compared with $313 million in the 2013 period. Our 2014 acquisition investments focused on adding new leasehold positions to our North American onshore portfolio.

Apache�s investment in gas gathering, transmission, and processing facilities totaled $1.0 billion during the first nine months of 2014 compared to $852 million in the prior year period. Apache�s 2014 GTP capital expenditures were primarily for the Wheatstone and Kitimat LNG facilities.

Dividends For the nine-month periods ended September�30, 2014 and 2013, the Company paid $271 million and $223 million, respectively, in dividends on its common stock. In the first nine months of 2013, the Company also paid $57 million in dividends on its Series D Preferred Stock, which was converted to common stock in August 2013.

Shares Repurchased Apache�s Board of Directors has authorized the purchase of up to 40�million shares of the Company�s common stock. Shares may be purchased either in the open market or through privately held negotiated transactions. The Company initiated the buyback program on June�10, 2013, and through September�30, 2014 has repurchased a total of 31.8�million shares at an average price of $88.90 per share. For the nine-month period ended September�30, 2014, the Company repurchased a total of 20.6�million shares at an average price of $88.92 per share. The Company is not obligated to acquire any specific number of shares.

Restricted Cash The Company classifies cash balances as restricted cash when cash is restricted as to withdrawal or usage. As of September�30, 2014, the Company had $545 million of proceeds from the sale of deepwater Gulf of Mexico properties held by a qualified intermediary and available for use in a like-kind exchange under Section�1031 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. As of the date of this filing, the Company has utilized or plans to utilize $471 million of the cash held by the qualified intermediary in the acquisition of like-kind property, and as such, this amount is classified as long-term restricted cash on Apache�s consolidated balance sheet as of September�30, 2014. The remaining $74 million of restricted cash was returned to Apache in October and, as such, is classified as short-term restricted cash on Apache�s consolidated balance sheet as of September�30, 2014. For more information regarding the sale of the deepwater Gulf of Mexico properties, please refer to Note 2�Acquisitions and Divestitures.

Cash and cash equivalents The Company had $510 million in cash and cash equivalents as of September�30, 2014, compared to $1.9 billion at December�31, 2013. Approximately $487 million of the cash was held by foreign subsidiaries. The cash held by foreign subsidiaries may be subject to additional U.S. income taxes if repatriated. Almost all of the cash is denominated in U.S. dollars and, at times, is invested in highly liquid investment grade securities with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase.

40


Debt As of September�30, 2014, outstanding debt, which consisted of notes, debentures, and uncommitted bank lines, totaled $10.9 billion. The Company had approximately $20 million of current debt outstanding borrowed on uncommitted credit facilities and overdraft lines as of September�30, 2014, compared with $53 million as of December�31, 2013.

Available committed borrowing capacity As of September�30, 2014, the Company had unsecured committed revolving syndicated bank credit facilities totaling $3.3 billion, of which $1.0�billion matures in August�2016 and $2.3 billion matures in June 2018 pursuant to a one-year extension approved in May 2014 under the terms of the $2.3 billion facilities. The facilities consist of a $1.7�billion facility and a $1.0 billion facility in the U.S., a $300�million facility in Australia, and a $300�million facility in Canada. As of September�30, 2014, available borrowing capacity under the Company�s credit facilities was $2.1 billion. The Company�s committed credit facilities are used to support Apache�s commercial paper program.

The Company has available a $3.0�billion commercial paper program, which generally enables Apache to borrow funds for up to 270�days at competitive interest rates. The commercial paper program is fully supported by available borrowing capacity under the Company�s committed credit facilities. As of September�30, 2014, the Company had $1.2 billion of outstanding commercial paper. There was no outstanding commercial paper as of December�31, 2013.

The Company was in compliance with the terms of all credit facilities as of September�30, 2014.

Percent of total debt-to-capitalization The Company�s debt-to-capitalization ratio at September�30, 2014 and December�31, 2013 was 25 percent and 22 percent, respectively.

41


ITEM�3�� QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Commodity Risk

The Company�s revenues, earnings, cash flow, capital investments and, ultimately, future rate of growth are highly dependent on the prices we receive for our crude oil, natural gas and NGLs, which have historically been very volatile because of unpredictable events such as economic growth or retraction, weather, and political climate. Our average crude oil realizations decreased to $94.69 per barrel in the third quarter of 2014 from $108.27 per barrel in the comparable period of 2013. Our average natural gas price realizations increased 9 percent to $3.88 per Mcf in the third quarter of 2014 from $3.56 per Mcf in the comparable period of 2013.

We periodically enter into derivative positions on a portion of our projected oil and natural gas production through a variety of financial and physical arrangements intended to manage fluctuations in cash flows resulting from changes in commodity prices. For the third quarter and first nine months of 2014, approximately 11 percent and 9 percent, respectively, of our natural gas production and approximately 40 percent of our crude oil production in each period was subject to financial derivatives. Apache does not hold or issue derivative instruments for trading purposes.

On September�30, 2014, the Company had open natural gas derivatives in an asset position with a fair value of $6 million. A 10 percent movement in natural gas prices would move the fair value by approximately $6 million. The Company also had open oil derivatives in an asset position with a fair value of $35 million. A 10 percent decrease in oil prices would increase the asset by approximately $107 million, while a 10 percent increase in prices would move the derivatives to a liability position of $71 million. These fair value changes assume volatility based on prevailing market parameters at September�30, 2014. See Note 3�Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item�1 of this Form 10-Q for notional volumes and terms associated with the Company�s derivative contracts.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company considers its interest rate risk exposure to be minimal as a result of fixing interest rates on approximately 89 percent of the Company�s debt. At September�30, 2014, total debt included approximately $1.2 billion of floating-rate debt. As a result, Apache�s annual interest costs will fluctuate based on short-term interest rates on 11 percent of our total debt outstanding at September�30, 2014. The impact on cash flow of a 10 percent change in the floating interest rate based on debt balances at September�30, 2014, would be approximately $103,000 per quarter.

Foreign Currency Risk

The Company�s cash flow stream relating to certain international operations is based on the U.S. dollar equivalent of cash flows measured in foreign currencies. In Australia, oil production is sold under U.S. dollar contracts, and gas production is sold under a combination of Australian dollar and U.S. dollar fixed-price contracts. Approximately 40 percent of the costs incurred for Australian operations are paid in U.S. dollars. In Canada, oil and gas prices and costs, such as equipment rentals and services, are generally denominated in Canadian dollars but heavily influenced by U.S. markets. Our North Sea production is sold under U.S. dollar contracts, and the majority of costs incurred are paid in British pounds. In Egypt, all oil and gas production is sold under U.S. dollar contracts, and the majority of the costs incurred are denominated in U.S. dollars. Revenue and disbursement transactions denominated in Australian dollars, Canadian dollars, and British pounds are converted to U.S. dollar equivalents based on average exchange rates during the period.

Foreign currency gains and losses also arise when monetary assets and monetary liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the end of each month. Currency gains and losses are included as either a component of �Other� under �Revenues and Other� or, as is the case when we re-measure our foreign tax liabilities, as a component of the Company�s provision for income tax expense on the statement of consolidated operations. A foreign currency net gain or loss of $176 million would result from a 10 percent weakening or strengthening, respectively, in the Australian dollar, Canadian dollar, and British pound as of September�30, 2014.

Exhibit 10.1

APACHE CORPORATION

2014 EMPLOYEE RELEASE AND SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT

The parties to this agreement are APACHE CORPORATION (�Apache�) and Thomas P. Chambers (�Employee�).

This document describes the agreements of Apache and Employee concerning the termination of Employee�s employment with Apache. This agreement and the severance pay and other benefits described below give valuable consideration to both Apache and Employee.

Termination of Employment Relationship: Apache and Employee have agreed that Employee�s employment relationship with Apache will terminate on August�31, 2014 (the �Termination Date�). Apache and Employee both agree that Employee will �separate from service� (for purposes of section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the �Code�)) on August�31, 2014.

Termination Pay: Apache will pay Employee the following as soon as reasonably practical following the Termination Date:

Employee�s regular pay through the Termination Date.

Such amounts shall be subject to all lawful deductions.

Severance Pay: Subject to this agreement becoming effective, Apache will pay Employee a lump sum amount of $1,600,000 of Severance Pay.

The Severance Pay has been subject to arms� length negotiations between the parties and thus is not deferred compensation subject to Code section 409A. The Severance Pay will be subject to all lawful deductions and withholding for taxes and will be paid as soon as administratively practical after this agreement becomes effective. Additional FICA taxes will also be withheld from this payment for any additional severance benefits discussed below that become subject to FICA taxation when this Agreement becomes effective, even though many of the additional severance benefits will not be paid or subject to federal income tax until later years.

Additional Severance Benefits: Subject to this agreement becoming effective and subject to any delay in payment required by Code section 409A, Apache will provide Employee with the following additional Severance Benefits:

Accelerated vesting of the 8,000 outstanding restricted stock units granted on February�9, 2011 in accordance with your grant agreement. Pursuant to your prior election, half will be paid out upon your termination of employment, but subject to a six-month delay to satisfy the requirements of Code section 409A (and so will be paid out as soon as practicable after February�28, 2015). The other half will be deferred to the Deferred Delivery Plan and paid out according to the terms of that plan. All 8,000 previously unvested restricted stock units become subject to FICA taxation when this Agreement becomes effective, even though payment will not occur until later.

-1-


Continued vesting of all outstanding unvested restricted stock units and all stock options according to their original schedules as if Employee remained Employed, subject to any agreed amendments to said equity plans and award agreements, and the terms of this Agreement. Payment of unvested restricted stock units will occur at the later of the time vesting occurs or six months after the Employee separates from service, while payment of vested restricted stock units that were deferred to the Deferred Delivery Plan before the Employee�s separation from service shall be paid as the Employee elected under such plan. Vested restricted stock units have already been subject to FICA taxation, while all unvested restricted stock units become subject to FICA taxation when this Agreement becomes effective.

Extended exercise period of all stock options, vested and unvested, to full term (10 year anniversary of the grant date).

In accordance with their terms, any outstanding TSR and business performance grants will be immediately void and forfeited as of the Termination Date. However, in the event that the TSR and business performance goals related to such grants are achieved at the conclusion of each respective performance period, then as soon as practicable following the first business day following the applicable vesting dates set forth below, provided that Employee is then in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, Apache will pay Employee a cash amount equal to the fair market value of a share of common stock of Apache (determined at the close of the trading day immediately preceding the payment date) multiplied by the number of vested units indicated below. Because FICA taxation will occur when the TSR goal or business performance goal is met, and Employee will not be receiving payment at that time, Employee�s share of FICA taxes will be paid by reducing the cash amount payable to Employee.

Release by Employee: In consideration of receipt of the Severance Pay and Severance Benefits, Employee hereby releases and waives, on behalf of himself, his heirs, estate, beneficiaries and assigns, all claims of any kind or character for loss, damage or injury arising from, based upon, connected in any way with, or relating to the following (�Claims�):

the employment of Employee by Apache, including the termination of Employee�s employment;

defamation based on statements of Apache or others;

breach of an express or implied employment contract;

compensation or reimbursement of Employee;

unfair employment practices; and

Claims Included: The Claims released and waived by Employee are those arising before the effective date of this agreement, whether known, suspected, unknown or unsuspected, and include, without limitation:

those for reinstatement;

those for actual, consequential, punitive or special damages;

those for attorney�s fees, costs, experts� fees and other expenses of investigating, litigating or settling Claims; and

those against Apache and/or Apache�s present, former and future subsidiaries, affiliates, employees, officers, directors, agents, contractors, benefit plans, shareholders, advisors, insurance carriers, and legal representatives (together with Apache the �Released Parties�).

Claims Excluded: Employee does not release or waive (1)�any rights that may not by law be waived, (2)�vested benefits, if any, to which Employee may be entitled pursuant to the terms of Apache�s benefits plans, including Employee�s right to any benefits under health, life or disability policies covering Employee and Employee�s right to all vested incentive compensation and the continued vesting thereof as described in this Agreement (for the avoidance of doubt,

-4-


Employee is, however, releasing and waiving any claim that he is subject to or covered by any Change of Control provisions other than the continuation of vesting of Apache Corporation equity), or (3)�the right to recovery for breach of this agreement by Apache,(4) Employee�s right to indemnity, contribution and a defense under any agreement, statute, by-law or company agreement or other corporate governance document, (5)�Employee�s right to continuing coverage under all Apache directors� and officers�, fiduciary, errors and omissions and general liability and umbrella insurance policies, (6)�payment to Employee of any unpaid business or business travel expense payable under the Company�s usual practices, (7)�distribution to Employee, as soon as practical after the effective date of this agreement and consistent with the requirements of Code section 409A, applicable deferral agreements and governing terms of any Plan, previously vested but withheld shares of restricted stock, (8)�Employee�s rights as an option holder, as a holder of restricted stock and as a shareholder; (9)�any deferred compensation including Employee�s right to any payment or compensation that may be deferred because of compliance with Code section 409A; (10)�Employee�s rights to payment of overrides under previous Apache employee benefit plans and (11)�Employee�s rights as a retiree of Apache.

Agreement Not To Sue: Employee will not sue any Released Party for any released Claim. Excluded from this agreement not to sue is Employee�s right to file a charge with an administrative agency or participate in an agency investigation. Employee is, however, waiving the right to receive money in connection with such charge or investigation. Employee is also waiving the right to recover money in connection with a charge filed by any other individual or by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or any other federal or state agency.

Future Employment: The Released Parties will not have any obligation to consider or accept any future employment or reinstatement application from Employee.

No Admission: Neither Apache nor Employee alleges or admits any wrongdoing or liability. Apache and Employee have executed this agreement solely to avoid the expense of potential litigation. The additional Severance Pay and additional Severance Benefits described above fully compromise and settle any and all Claims of Employee.

Confidentiality: Employee and Apache will keep this agreement strictly confidential, except that Employee may disclose this agreement to his spouse, attorneys, financial and tax advisors and will cause Employee�s spouse, attorneys, financial and tax advisors to do likewise, and Apache may disclose this agreement to its officials who need to see this agreement and shall cause them to keep this agreement strictly confidential, except, as to both parties, to the extent disclosure is necessary for tax, securities law and regulations, stock exchange rules, financial advice, tax advice and filings or other legal requirements.

Confidences: Employee will maintain the confidentiality of all Released Party trade secrets, proprietary information, insider information, security procedures and other confidences that came into Employee�s possession or knowledge during employment by Apache. Employee will not use information concerning a Released Party�s business prospects or practices to profit Employee or others. The parties understand Employee may elect to continue his professional activities and/or employment in the oil and gas exploration and development industry subsequent

-5-


to the Termination Date. Accordingly, nothing in this agreement shall prevent Employee from utilizing general knowledge, skills and experience he acquired during his employment with Apache. Further, nothing in this agreement shall prevent Employee from using any public information that is generally known or reasonably accessible or available to him

Property: Employee represents that Employee possesses no property of a Released Party. If any Released Party property comes into Employee�s possession before departure from Apache premises, or if the date of Employee�s termination is in the future, Employee will return the Released Party property to Apache prior to departure from the Apache premises and without request or demand by Apache.

References: Apache may respond to inquiries from third parties about Employee�s employment with Apache by identifying only Employee�s date of hire, date of termination and position held at the time of termination of employment. Apache will have no obligation to provide further information to prospective employers of Employee.

Non-disparagement:�Employee shall refrain from publishing any oral or written statements about the Company, any Apache Entity and/or any of the Released Parties that are disparaging, slanderous, libelous, or defamatory; or that disclose private or confidential information about their business affairs; or that constitute an intrusion into their seclusion or private lives; or that give rise to unreasonable publicity about their private lives; or that place them in a false light before the public; or that constitute a misappropriation of their name or likeness. Likewise, the Released Parties shall refrain from publishing any oral or written statements about Employee that are disparaging, slanderous, libelous, or defamatory; or that disclose private or confidential information about his business affairs; or that constitute an intrusion into seclusion or private life; or that give rise to unreasonable publicity about his private life; or that places him in a false light before the public; or that constitute a misappropriation of his name or likeness.

Assistance in Legal Actions: In the event Apache is or becomes involved in any legal action relating to events which occurred while Employee was rendering services to Apache or about which Employee possesses any information, Employee agrees to assist, subject to Employee�s �reasonable availability�, in the preparation, prosecution or defense of any case involving Apache, including without limitation, executing truthful declarations or documents or providing information requested by Apache and attending and/or testifying truthfully at deposition or at trial without the necessity of a subpoena or compensation. All reasonable travel expenses incurred by you in rendering such assistance will be reimbursed by Apache. Employee�s compliance with the obligations of this paragraph shall not interfere with his future employment or enterprise, and shall not be so extensive or intrusive that Employee incurs economic damage as a result of his compliance.

Non-solicitation: Because of the confidential information shared with Employee and in exchange for the payments described herein, for a period of two years following the Resignation date, Employee, and his assigns, agree not to directly or indirectly solicit any employee of Apache for employment elsewhere (i.e., employment with any person or entity other than Apache).

-6-

Amendment: This agreement can be modified only by a document signed by both parties.

Successors: This agreement benefits and binds the parties� successors, including Employee�s estates and heirs.

Texas Law: This agreement will be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas.

Jurisdiction. Any legal proceeding arising as a result of, based upon, or relating to this agreement, Employee�s employment or termination thereof shall be filed in and heard exclusively in Houston, Texas without regard to conflicts of law and Employee hereby irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of such courts.

Enforceability: If any portion of this agreement is unenforceable, the remaining portions of the agreement will remain enforceable.

Fees and Costs: If litigation is commenced concerning Employee�s employment, termination of employment or this agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to an award of reasonable attorneys� fees and expenses, court costs, experts� fees and expenses, and all other expenses of litigation.

409A Compliance: The benefits provided under this agreement are intended to comply with, or be exempted from, the applicable requirements of Section�409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the �Code�) and the rules and regulations issued thereunder and shall be administered accordingly. This agreement may be amended without the consent of the Employee in any respect deemed by Apache to be necessary in order to preserve compliance with, or exemption from, Code section 409A.

EMPLOYEE UNDERSTANDS THAT THIS AGREEMENT IS A FINAL AND BINDING WAIVER OF ANY AND ALL CLAIMS OF EMPLOYEE AGAINST THE RELEASED PARTIES, INCLUDING CLAIMS FOR AGE DISCRIMINATION UNDER THE AGE DISCRIMINATION IN EMPLOYMENT ACT AND CLAIMS FOR SEX, RACE OR OTHER DISCRIMINATION UNDER TITLE VII OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF 1964.

THE ONLY PROMISES MADE TO CAUSE EMPLOYEE TO SIGN THIS AGREEMENT ARE THOSE STATED IN THIS AGREEMENT.

EMPLOYEE HAS BEEN ADVISED AND UNDERSTANDS THAT THE OFFER OF SEVERANCE PAY AND SEVERANCE BENEFITS CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL REMAIN OPEN ONLY UNTIL AUGUST 28, 2014. IF EMPLOYEE HAS NOT FULLY EXECUTED AND RETURNED THIS AGREEMENT BY THAT DATE, THE OFFER HEREIN OF SEVERANCE PAY AND SEVERANCE BENEFITS IS AUTOMATICALLY WITHDRAWN WITHOUT FURTHER ACTION BY APACHE EFFECTIVE AS OF SUCH DATE.

EMPLOYEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT EMPLOYEE HAS THE RIGHT TO REVOKE THIS AGREEMENT FOR 7 DAYS AFTER SIGNING IT. THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE EFFECTIVE UNTIL THAT TIME FOR REVOCATION HAS PASSED.

Exhibit 10.4

APACHE CORPORATION

EMPLOYEE RESIGNATION AGREEMENT

The parties to this agreement are APACHE CORPORATION (�Apache�) and Alfonso Leon (�Employee�).

This document describes the agreements of Apache and Employee concerning the termination of Employee�s employment with Apache. This agreement, the provision of confidential information, and the consideration and other arrangements described below, give valuable consideration to both Apache and Employee.

Termination of Employment Relationship: Apache and Employee have agreed to the following terms and conditions concerning Employee�s resignation from Apache.

Employee�s last day of work for Apache was October�9, 2014 (�Resignation Date�). Apache and Employee both agree that Employee will �separate from service� (for purposes of section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the �Code�)) on October�9, 2014.

Termination Pay: Apache will pay Employee the following as soon as reasonably practical following the Termination Date:

Employee�s regular pay through October�15, 2014

Such amounts shall be subject to all lawful deductions.

Severance Pay: Subject to this agreement becoming effective and as soon as reasonably practical, Apache will pay Employee a lump sum amount of $1,700,000 of Severance Pay.

The Severance Pay has been subject to arms� length negotiations between the parties and you had no right to this pay prior to this agreement and thus is not deferred compensation subject to Code section 409A. The Severance Pay will be subject to all lawful deductions and withholding for taxes and will be paid as soon as administratively practical after this agreement becomes effective but not prior to the ninth day following such date. Additional FICA taxes will also be withheld from this payment for any additional severance benefits discussed below that become subject to FICA taxation when this Agreement becomes effective, even though much of the additional resignation consideration will not be paid or subject to federal income tax until later years.

Additional Resignation Consideration: Subject to this agreement becoming effective and subject to any delay in payment required by Code section 409A, Apache will provide Employee with the following additional -Resignation Consideration:

Accelerated vesting of the 3000 outstanding restricted stock units granted on May�22, 2012 in accordance with your grant agreement. These 3,000 previously unvested restricted stock units become subject to FICA taxation when this Agreement becomes effective, even though payment will not occur until later.

1


Continued vesting of all outstanding unvested restricted stock units and all stock options according to their original schedules as if Employee remained Employed, subject to any agreed amendments to said equity plans and award agreements, and the terms of this Agreement, which shall be prepared by Apache and signed by the parties expeditiously. Payment of unvested restricted stock units will occur at the later of the time vesting occurs or six months after the Employee separates from service, while payment of vested restricted stock units that were deferred to the Deferred Delivery Plan before the Employee�s separation from service shall be paid as the Employee elected under such plan. Vested restricted stock units have already been subject to FICA taxation, while all unvested restricted stock units become subject to FICA taxation when this Agreement becomes effective.

Extended exercise period of all stock options, vested and unvested, to full term (10 year anniversary of the grant date).

In accordance with their terms, any outstanding TSR and business performance grants will be immediately void and forfeited as of the Termination Date. However, in the event that the TSR and business performance goals related to such grants are achieved at the conclusion of each respective performance period, then as soon as practicable following the first business day following the applicable vesting dates set forth below, provided that Employee is then in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, Apache will pay Employee a cash amount equal to the fair market value of a share of common stock of Apache (determined at the close of the trading day immediately preceding the payment date) multiplied by the number of vested units indicated below. Because FICA taxation will occur when the TSR goal or business performance goal is met, Employee�s share of FICA taxes will be paid by reducing the cash amount payable to Employee.

In the event that a Change of Control occurs prior to the conclusion of a performance period under any of the 2012, 2013, or 2014 TSR programs, and the Committee (as defined in the TSR grant agreement) determines an appropriate adjustment to measure Apache�s TSR for those Apache employees that are terminated following a Change of Control, then such adjustment shall be applied to the equivalent value calculations for TSRs below. In the event a Change of Control occurs prior to the termination of the 2014 Business Performance Shares� performance period, then a multiple of 1.00 shall be applied to the Target Amount of shares and the total equivalent value of the same shall be paid to Employee. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else in this agreement, all payments to Employee pursuant to this agreement that constitute a �parachute payment� under I.R.C. 280G shall not exceed 2.99 times the �base amount� as defined in I.R.C. 280G.

As such, Employee agrees not to, directly or indirectly, for a period ending the earlier of two years from the date hereof or such time as when the confidential information may become generally available in the public market through means other than provided by Employee, disclose to any third party or use for the benefit of anyone other than Apache, or use for Employee�s own benefit or purposes, any such confidential, proprietary information without the prior written approval of the Company�s Chief Executive Officer. Employee agrees to return all electronic information, internet or cloud information, emails and attachments, documents, and writings of any kind, including both originals and copies, whether developed by Employee or others, within Employee�s custody, possession or control, which contain any material non-public information which in any way relates or refers to Apache or any of its subsidiaries.

Non-disparagement:�Employee shall refrain from publishing any oral or written statements about the Company, any Apache Entity and/or any of the Released Parties that are disparaging, slanderous, libelous, or defamatory; or that disclose private or confidential information about their business affairs; or that constitute an intrusion into their seclusion or private lives; or that give rise to unreasonable publicity about their private lives; or that place them in a false light before the public; or that constitute a misappropriation of their name or likeness.

6


Nonsolicitation: Because of the confidential information shared with Employee and in exchange for the payments and other consideration described herein, for a period of two years following the Resignation date, Employee, and his assigns, agrees not to directly or indirectly solicit any employee of Apache for employment elsewhere (i.e., employment with any person or entity other than Apache). It is expressly understood that unsolicited requests for employment elsewhere by Apache employees made to Employee are not prohibited by this agreement: provided that Employee immediately informs such Apache employee that Employee cannot and will not help them or refer them to any employment opportunities or employer. Moreover, Employee will not confer with any Person about employees of Apache, discuss employees of Apache with any Person, nor give any employee of Apache a reference, regarding employment.

Enforceability: If any portion of this agreement is unenforceable, the remaining portions of the agreement will remain enforceable. The Employee acknowledges that a violation by the Employee of any of the Employee covenants contained in this Agreement would cause irreparable damage to Apache and its affiliates in an amount that would be material but not readily ascertainable, and that any remedy at law (including the payment of damages) would be inadequate. Accordingly, Employee agrees that, notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in addition to any other damages it is able to show, if Apache can prove to a substantial certainty that Employee intentionally breaches the Non Solicitation, Non Disparagement, or Confidences, Covenant Not to

7

This right of unilateral modification shall apply only to paragraphs providing financial consideration to Employee and to paragraphs relating to Code section 409A.
