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 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, 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. During the second quarter of 2015, Apache completed the sale of its Australian LNG business and oil and gas assets. In March 2014, Apache also completed the sale of all of its operations in Argentina. Results of operations and consolidated cash flows for the divested Australia assets and Argentina operations are reflected as discontinued operations in the Company’s financial statements for all periods presented. For more information regarding these divestitures, please refer to Note 2–Acquisitions and Divestitures.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

1.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

As of JuneSeptember 30, 2015, 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 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.

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.

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. 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 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.

6


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. In the second quarter of 2015, the Company recorded $4.3 billion ($2.8 billion net of tax), $835 million ($617 million net of tax), and $663 million ($331 million net of tax) inThe following tables present non-cash write-downs of the carrying value of the Company’s U.S., Canada, and North Sea proved oil and gas properties respectively.

Asset Impairments

For the quarter ofand nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recorded $5.3 billion ($3.4 billion netasset impairments totaling $367 million in connection with fair value assessments.

Impairments included $210 million on certain gathering, transmission, and processing (GTP) facilities, which were written down to their fair values of tax), $1.4 billion ($1.0 billion net of tax), and $632$16 million ($316 million net of tax) in non-cash write-downsaggregate. The fair values of the carryingimpaired assets were determined using an income approach, which considered internal estimates of future throughput volumes, processing rates, and costs. These assumptions were applied to develop future cash flow projections that were then discounted to estimate fair value, ofusing a discount rate believed to be consistent with those applied by market participants. Apache has classified these non-recurring fair value measurements as Level 3 in the Company’s U.S., Canada, and North Sea proved oil and gas properties, respectively. fair value hierarchy.

In the second quarter of 2014,addition, the Company recorded a $203$148 million ($77for the impairment of an equity method investment and $9 million net of tax) non-cash write-downfor inventory write-downs. For discussion of the carrying value of the Company’s North Sea proved oilequity method investment impairment, see Note 2—Acquisitions and gas properties.Divestitures.

New Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Adopted

In AprilSeptember 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2015-16, which eliminates the requirement that an acquirer in a business combination account for measurement-period adjustments retrospectively. Instead, an acquirer will recognize a measurement-period adjustment during the period in which it determines the amount of the adjustment, including amounts it would have recorded in previous periods if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. ASU 2015-16 is effective for fiscal years 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.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, which simplifies the subsequent measurement of inventory by requiring inventory to be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Entities will continue to apply their existing impairment models to inventories that are accounted for using last-in first-out and the retail inventory method. Under current guidance, net realizable value is one of several calculations an entity needs to make to measure inventory at the lower of cost or market. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect the adoption of this amendment to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

7


In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, which simplifies the presentation of debt issuance costs. The new standard requires debt issuance costs to be presented as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability, whereas they are currently being presented as a component of “deferred charges and other” on the balance sheet. The new standard creates consistency in the way debt issuance costs and debt discounts are presented on the balance sheet and better aligns U.S. GAAP with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).Standards. ASU 2015-03 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company will apply the change retrospectively and does not expect the adoption of this amendment to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

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. In July 2015, the FASB announced a delay in the effective date of the revenue standard by one year. The deferral results in the new revenue standard being effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. 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.

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, committed bank facilities and uncommitted bank lines, 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).

6. INCOME TAXES

6.INCOME TAXES

The Company estimates its annual effective income tax rate for continuing operations in recording its quarterly provision for income taxes in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Non-cash write-downs of the carrying value of the Company’s proved oil and gas properties, statutory tax rate changes, and other significant or unusual items are recognized as discrete items in the quarter in which they occur.

During the secondthird quarter of 2015 Apache’s effective tax rate was primarily impacted by an increase in the amount of valuation allowances. TheWith the further commodity price declines since the second quarter, management continues to assess the potential realization of its deferred tax assets. In the third quarter, the Company repatriatedrecorded a deferred tax expense of $1.1 billion and $69 million related to an increase in valuation allowances associated with U.S. foreign tax credits and net operating loss carryforwards, respectively. In addition to the allowance recorded during the third quarter, the Company had previously recorded tax expense of $853 million in the second quarter of 2015 related to an increase in valuation allowance associated with management’s assessment on the realizability of U.S. foreign tax credits subsequent to repatriating the majority of net cash proceeds from the Kitimat LNG project and Australia divestitures and is now positioned to efficiently repatriate future foreign earnings. The Company utilized an existing deferred tax asset related to net operating losses to offset a portion of the taxable income from the repatriated proceeds. In addition, the Company established a deferred tax asset related to the creditable foreign taxes that accompanied the repatriated proceeds. Management has assessed the potential to utilize foreign tax credit carryforwards and has determined that more likely than not a portion of this deferred tax asset will not be realized. Accordingly the Company recorded tax expense of $853 million related to an increase in valuation allowance associated with the foreign tax credit carryforward.divestitures.

Apache’s year-to-date effective tax rate is primarily driven by the impactincrease in U.S. valuation allowances described above and an increase in the valuation allowance on Canadian deferred tax assets, partially offset by the first quartera first-quarter 2015 deferred tax benefit from the previously announced U.K. tax rate change.

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 JuneSeptember 30, 2015, the Company has an accrued liability of approximately $15$20 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.

Environmental Matters

As of JuneSeptember 30, 2015, the Company had an undiscounted reserve for environmental remediation of approximately $62 million. The Company is not aware of any environmental claims existing as of JuneSeptember 30, 2015, 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.

With respect to the June 1, 2013, leak of produced water from a below ground pipeline in the Zama Operations area in northern Alberta, the Alberta Energy Regulator has completed its investigation of the incident and issued an administrative penalty to Apache Canada Ltd. in the amount of $16,500 CAD. On October 19, 2015, the Crown served Apache Canada Ltd. with a notice to attend to answer a charge relating to a leak of produced water in the Zama area that occurred on or between October 3, 2013 and October 25, 2013. The leak resulted from a riser that was damaged by force by an independent agent following Apache Canada Ltd.’s discontinued use of the pipeline segment. The seven-count charge could result in the levying of a fine. Apache Canada Ltd. will review the charge and respond in due course. It is possible that additional discharges in Apache Canada Ltd. operating areas, including in the Zama Operations area, could result in additional government fines or sanction.

No other material change in the status of these matters has occurred since the filing of Apache’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for its 2014 fiscal year.

LNG Divestiture Dispute

In respect of the purchase by Woodside of the Wheatstone and Kitimat LNG projects and accompanying upstream oil and gas reserves from the Company and its subsidiaries, the base purchase price is subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the applicable sale and purchase agreement. Woodside has notified the Company and its subsidiaries that it seeks purchase price adjustments in the net amounts of $175 million (for working capital adjustments), which the Company and its subsidiaries believe is time-barred, and $214 million (for all other adjustments). To the extent the parties are unable to resolve their differences through settlement or court proceedings, the dispute will be referred to an independent accounting expert for final determination under the terms of the applicable sale and purchase agreement. The Company believes that under the terms of the sale and purchase agreements, Woodside’s requests for payment of purchase price adjustments lack merit; therefore, the Company has not recorded a liability associated with this dispute.

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 four countries: the United States (U.S.), Canada, Egypt, 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.

Thisfollowing 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 Annual Report on Form 10-K for our 2014 fiscal year. Results of operations and consolidated cash flows for our divested Australia assets and Argentina operations are reflected as discontinued operations in all periods presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Strategic Overview

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’s strategic outlookCompany has exploration and foundation for growth are based on our core producing asset base and large undeveloped acreage positions. We believe our holdings provide for growth through sustainable lower-risk drilling opportunities onshoreproduction interests in North America, balanced by higher-risk, higher-reward exploration infour countries: the United States (U.S.), Canada, Egypt, the North Sea, and other offshore areas. We closely monitor drilling and acquisition cost trends in each of our core areas relative to product prices and, when appropriate, adjust our capital budgets accordingly and allocate funds to projects based on expected value. We do this through a disciplined and focused process that includes analyzing current economic conditions, projected rate of return on internally generated drilling inventories, and opportunities for tactical acquisitions or leasehold purchases that add substantial drilling prospects or, occasionally, provide access to new core areas that could enhance our portfolio.

Over the last five years, Apache has increasingly focused on its North American onshore resource base. Recent drilling success and the acquisition of acreage positions acrossUnited Kingdom (U.K.) North America add to our robust drilling inventorySea. Apache also pursues exploration interests in the Permian Basinother countries that may over time result in reportable discoveries and other key onshore operating areas. As part of our strategy, this quarter we completed the sales of our Kitimat and Wheatstone LNG projects and our upstream assets in Australia. development opportunities.

The Company believes our current portfolio, which includes a significant onshore North America resource base coupled with Brent-linked, free cash flow generating assets in the North Sea and Egypt, provides flexibility in capital allocation and a platform for sustainable growth in a volatile commodity price environment.

In response to the significant drop in commoditydownward pressure on oil prices that began in late 2014 wecontinues to impact 2015 results. As compared to third quarter and nine months of 2014, Apache’s average realized oil prices decreased 51 percent and 49 percent, respectively. Additionally, natural gas and natural gas liquids pricing remain significantly lower than 2014.

When prices began to soften late last year, Apache moved quicklyswiftly and decisively onto address matters within our control: capital spending, overhead, and lease operating costs.

We significantly reduced capital spending in 2015; however, we are prepared2015, with third quarter and year-to-date capital spending decreasing 70 percent and 58 percent, respectively, from the comparable 2014 periods. We will continue to ramp up activity whenadjust our capital spending in response to future commodity pricesprice fluctuations, cost realignments, and service costs realign. forecasted operating cash flows.

We have also taken and continue to take steps to reduce our operating cost structure, including organizational changes to better integrate our human resources.structure. As part of these efforts, we streamlined our organizational structure and are in the process of closingclosed our regional office in Tulsa, Oklahoma. By the end of 2015, we willWe have also consolidated our corporate and Houston region employee bases into a single location, which we believe will foster increased collaboration and communication as well as accelerate technology development and transfer among our core asset teams.

The decline As a result of our ongoing efforts, general and administrative costs decreased 23 percent and 16 percent in the price2015 third quarter and nine months, respectively, as compared to 2014.

We continue to make significant progress reducing lease operating costs, which on a per-unit basis are 18 and 12 percent lower than the third quarter and first nine months of oil and natural gas at the end of 2014 and2014.

In addition, we have reduced total debt by 22 percent during the first half of 2015 was dramatic; however,current year to $8.8 billion, and we believe this low price environment will provide future growth opportunities for companies that move aggressively to reduce spendingexited the quarter with $1.7 billion in cash and maintain a strong balance sheet position.$3.5 billion in available committed borrowing capacity.

Financial Highlights

ResultsSignificant operating activities for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2015, include:include the following:

Overall

 

Average daily equivalent production, adjusted for asset divestitures, increased 72 percent for both the quarter and six5 percent for the nine months when compared to the prior-year periods adjusted for asset divestitures.periods.

 

Liquids production for the secondthird quarter of 2015 averaged 365 Mboe348 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day (Mboe/d), with crude oil representing 8382 percent of total liquids production. Liquids production, adjusted for asset divestitures, increased 83 percent from both the secondthird quarter of 2014 and 6 percent from the first sixnine months of 2014.

Oil and gas production revenues for the second quarter and first six months of 2015 totaled $2.0 billion and $3.6 billion, respectively, down 44 and 48 percent from respective prior-year periods, reflecting the significant decrease in realized commodity prices.

25


For the second quarter, Apache reported a loss from continuing operations of $4.9 billion, or $12.89 per diluted common share, compared with earnings of $449 million, or $1.17 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2014. The current period loss included after-tax charges for a ceiling test impairment of $3.7 billion.

For the first half of 2015, Apache reported a loss from continuing operations of $9.4 billion or $24.88 per diluted share, compared with earnings of $1.1 billion, or $2.82 per diluted share, respectively, for the prior year period. The loss for 2015 includes after-tax write-downs of oil and gas properties in the U.S., Canada, and U.K. North Sea totaling $8.4 billion.

Net cash provided by continuing operating activities totaled $1.7 billion for the first half of 2015, compared to $3.9 billion in the comparable prior-year period, reflecting a significant decline in commodity prices.

The proceeds received from asset divestments enabled us to reduce total debt 21 percent during the quarter, to $9.7 billion, and exit the quarter with $3 billion in cash. We have also initiated steps to pay off $900 million of outstanding 2017 bonds.

Operational Developments

Our internally generated exploration and drilling opportunities provide the foundation for our growth. Highlights of our 2015 drilling successes and other operational developments are discussed below.

North America

 

North America onshoreOnshore equivalent production, inadjusted for asset divestitures, was flat for the second quarter and first sixup 5 percent for the nine months of 2015 of 317 Mboe/d and 312 Mboe/d, respectively, represents 56 percent of Apache’s total worldwide production for each respective period.

Onshore oil production duringrelative to the second quarter of 2015 decreased 2 percent from the prior-year quarter; however, production was up 7 percent when excluding volumes from 2014 divestitures.periods. This production performance is notable given that Apache reduced its North American onshore exploration and development capital spending by 68was 71 percent inand 62 percent lower for the second quarter of 2015and nine months compared to the prior-year quarter.periods.

International and Offshore

 

In Egypt, second quarterthird-quarter 2015 gross production of 349362 Mboe/d was down slightlyup 5 percent compared to the secondthird quarter of 2014 as strong growth in higher margin oil production was offset by a decline in lowlower margin natural gas production. Gross oil production of 203214 thousand barrels of oil per day (Mb/d) was up 310 percent compared to the 2014 secondthird quarter as Apache continued to successfully delineateits development of the Ptah and Berenice oil discoveries. Gross

North Sea average daily production, adjusted for divestitures, increased by 9 percent for the first nine months of 2015 from the Ptah2014 period on less downtime and Berenice fields achievedgreater production efficiencies. Production for the third quarter of 2015, adjusted for divestitures, increased 17 percent to 73 Mboe/d compared to 65 Mboe/d in the prior-year quarter. This increase was primarily driven by a combined daily peakfull third quarter of production in 2015, as maintenance performed in the third quarter of 2014 impacted prior year results.

On October 30, 2015, Apache announced five significant wells in the North Sea: three significant exploration discoveries and two notable development wells.

Exploration Discoveries

The K discovery, in the Beryl area, is a significant oil discovery with multiple commercial zones across three distinct fault blocks, including one fault block with over 1,500 feet of net pay. Apache is the operator of this discovery with a 55 percent working interest.

The Corona Discovery, also located in the Beryl area, logged 225 feet total vertical depth net pay in excellent reservoir-quality sandstone. Apache has a 100 percent working interest in this discovery.

The Seagull Discovery confirmed 672 feet of net oil pay over a 1,092-foot column in Triassic-age sands. The well was flow tested with a facility-constrained rate of more than 228.7 Mb/d.d and 16 million cubic feet of natural gas per day (MMcf/d) with a very low pressure drawdown. Further appraisal work will continue following the recent acquisition of a multi-azimuth 3-D survey. Apache has a 35 percent working interest in this discovery and will assume operatorship of this license later this year, subject to necessary approvals.

Notable Development Wells

 

Apache drilled 8two significant development wells in the North Sea during the second quarterBeryl area, which Apache operates. Apache owns a 60.55 percent working interest in both wells. The ACN development well came online in October at a test rate of 2015 with a 90 percent success rate. Production of 69 Mboe/11 Mb/d was down approximately 3 Mboe/d a result of annual platform maintenance programs that are typically performed during the third quarter. Excluding the associated downtime, North Seaand 30.4 MMcf/d. The L4S pilot well started production in the second quarter was approximately flat compared to the second quarterJuly and had an initial production rate of 2014.

During the second quarter of 2015, Apache completed the previously disclosed sale of its 50 percent interest in the Kitimat LNG project in Canada, along with the associated upstream oil2 Mb/d and gas assets, to Woodside Petroleum Limited (Woodside) for total proceeds of approximately $854 million. Proceeds include reimbursement of Apache’s net expenditure in the project, changes in working capital and other contractual adjustments between the effective date, July 1, 2014, and closing.

Apache completed the sale of the Wheatstone LNG project and associated upstream oil and gas assets in Australia to Woodside for total proceeds of $2.8 billion during the second quarter of 2015. Proceeds include reimbursement of Apache’s net expenditure in the project, changes in working capital, and other contractual adjustments between the effective date, July 1, 2014, and closing.

Also in the second quarter of 2015, Apache completed the sale of its Australian subsidiary Apache Energy Limited (AEL) to a consortium of private equity funds managed by Macquarie Capital Group Limited and Brookfield Asset Management Inc. for cash consideration of $1.9 billion which includes customary, post-closing adjustments. The effective date of the sale is October 1, 2014.45 MMcf/d.

Crude Oil Revenues Crude oil revenues for the secondthird quarter of 2015 totaled $1.6$1.2 billion, a $1.2$1.3 billion decrease from the comparative 2014 quarter. A one3 percent increasedecrease in average daily production increased second-quarterreduced third-quarter 2015 revenues by $20$40 million compared to the prior-year quarter, while 4451 percent lower realized prices decreased revenues by $1.2$1.3 billion. Crude oil prices realized in the secondthird quarter of 2015 averaged $58.09$46.34 per barrel, compared with $102.95$94.38 in the comparative prior-year quarter. Crude oil accounted for 8277 percent of oil and gas production revenues and 5453 percent of worldwide production in the secondthird quarter of 2015.

Worldwide oil production remained essentially flatdropped slightly from the secondthird quarter of 2014, as production growth from our North American onshore area and higher net production in Egypt, as a function of our production sharing contracts, was offset by production related to divested properties. Exclusive of production from divested assets during 2014 and 2015, oil production increased 18.75.7 Mb/d.

Natural Gas RevenuesGas revenues for the secondthird quarter of 2015 totaled $295$309 million, down 4231 percent from the secondthird quarter of 2014. An 11 percent decrease in average production reduced natural gas revenues by $36$39 million as compared to the prior-year quarter, while a 3423 percent decrease in average realized prices decreased revenues by $174$103 million. Natural gas accounted for 1520 percent of our oil and gas production revenues and 3536 percent of our equivalent production.

Worldwide natural gas production was 145 million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d)146 MMcf/d lower than the secondthird quarter of 2014, primarily the result of divestitures during 2014. Exclusive of production from these divested assets, our worldwide gas production increased by 64.514.7 MMcf/dd. North Sea production was up on a full quarter of production growth from ourin 2015, as maintenance performed in the third quarter of 2014 impacted prior year results. Our North American onshorePermian area and higher net production in Egyptincreased 14 percent as a functionresult of our production sharing contracts.drilling activity in the region.

A decrease in average NGL production by 38 percent compared to the prior-year quarter reduced NGL revenues by $2$4 million, while a 6470 percent decrease in average realized prices decreased revenues by $109$123 million. NGLs accounted for nearly 3 percent of our oil and gas production revenues and 1112 percent of our equivalent production during the secondthird quarter of 2015.

Worldwide production of NGLs decreased 1.75.3 Mb/d to 63.063.8 Mb/d in the secondthird quarter of 2015, primarily the result of 2014 divestitures and natural declines in our midcontinent area. Exclusive of production from divested assets, our worldwide NGL production increased 8.24.3 Mb/d on production growth from our North American onshore area.area and international regions.

Year-to-Date 2015 compared to Year-to-Date 2014

Crude Oil Revenues Crude oil revenues for the first sixnine months of 2015 totaled $2.9$4.1 billion, $2.6$3.9 billion lower than the comparative 2014 period, the result ofprimarily driven by a 1 percent increase in worldwide production and a 4849 percent decrease in average realized prices. Crude oil accounted for 8079 percent of oil and gas production revenues and 54 percent of worldwide production for the first sixnine months of 2015, and 7980 percent of production revenues and 50 percent of worldwide production for the 2014 comparative period. LowerSlightly lower production volumes reduced revenues by $39$6 million compared to the first sixnine months of 2014, while lower realized prices reduced revenues by $2.6$3.9 billion. Crude oil prices realized in the first sixnine months of 2015 averaged $53.05$50.87 per barrel, compared with $101.69$99.23 in the comparative prior-year period.

Worldwide production remained essentially flat in the first sixnine months of 2015 from the same period last year, primarily as a result of production growth in our North American onshore areas and Egypt region was completely offset by divestitures during 2014.2014 divestitures. Exclusive of production from these divested assets, worldwide production increased 20.015.2 Mb/d. Production increased 11 Mb/d, primarily the result of growth in our North American onshoreOnshore areas on drilling and recompletion activity. Nethigher net production in our Egypt region, was 7.6 Mb/d higher primarily as a function of our production sharing contracts.

Natural Gas RevenuesGas revenues for the first sixnine months of 2015 totaled $0.6$0.9 billion, down 4440 percent from the comparative 2014 period. A 1513 percent decline in average production reduced natural gas revenues by $102$141 million, while a 3531 percent decrease in average realized prices reduced revenues by $368$471 million. Natural gas accounted for 1718 percent of our oil and gas production revenues and 35 percent of our equivalent production, compared to 1615 percent and 3938 percent, respectively, for the 2014 period.

Our worldwide natural gas production was 199182 MMcf/d lower than the first sixnine months of 2014, the result of divestitures in 2014.

Recurring Depreciation, Depletion, and Amortization (DD&A)Oil and gas property recurring DD&A expense of $0.9 billion$829 million in the secondthird quarter of 2015 decreased $151$257 million compared to the prior-year quarter. Oil and gas property recurring DD&A expense of $1.9$2.8 billion in the first sixnine months of 2015 decreased $174$431 million compared to the prior-year period. The Company’s oil and gas property recurring DD&A rate decreased $2.16$3.68 and $0.54$1.58 per boe for the secondthird quarter and first sixnine months of 2015, respectively, compared to the prior-year periods. The primary factor driving both lower absolute dollar expense and lower DD&A per boe rates was the reduction in the Company’s oil and gas property carrying values resulting from significant property write-downs incurred in the first quarterand second quarters of 2015.

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 at 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.

As a result of a significant and sustained drop in commodity prices, Apache recorded non-cash after-tax write-downs of its proved oil and gas properties totaling $4.7$3.7 billion and $3.7$12.2 billion in the third quarter and first and second quartersnine months of 2015, respectively. The following table reflects write-downs by country:

If commodity prices do not recover significantly from current levels, the Company expects further write-downs of the carrying value of its oil and gas properties as the full cost ceiling limitation was calculated using a historical 12-month pricing average that included oil prices from the last halffourth quarter of 2014. These prices were significantly higher than current commodity futures prices. To estimate the full cost ceiling limitation for the remainder of 2015, had the Company utilized commodity futures prices as of JuneSeptember 30, 2015 for the remaining sixthree months of 2015 in lieu of using historical commodity prices for the last sixthree months of 2014 to calculate the 12 month unweighted arithmetic average price, the write-down as of JuneSeptember 30, 2015 would have been higher by $5.5$3.7 billion ($3.52.4 billion net of tax).

Gathering and TransportationGathering and transportation costs totaled $49$58 million and $105$163 million in the secondthird quarter and first sixnine months of 2015, respectively, down $17$9 million and $31$40 million from the secondthird quarter and first sixnine months of 2014, respectively. The decrease was driven primarily by North American onshore divestitures, partially offset by an increase in production and rate changes in the Permian Basin and increased export volumes in Egypt.

Taxes other than IncomeTaxes other than income totaled $55$104 million and $128$232 million for the secondthird quarter and the first sixnine months of 2015, respectively, a decrease of $122$20 million and $230$250 million, respectively, from the comparative prior-year periods.

The North Sea Petroleum Revenue Tax (PRT) is assessed on qualifying fields in the U.K. North Sea. For the secondthird quarter of 2015, U.K. PRT was $98$35 million lowerhigher than the 2014 period as a result of lower revenues recordedchanges in capital spending and other adjustments during the second quarter.and third quarters of 2015. Severance tax expense and ad valorem tax expense decreased $18$43 million and $4$8 million, respectively, on lower oil and gas prices and divestitures made throughout the last year.

U.K. PRT for the first sixnine months of 2015 was $147$112 million lower when compared to the 2014 period as a result of a decrease in production revenue offset by lower capital expenditures. For the first sixnine months of 2015, lower oil prices and property divestitures lowered severance taxes by $61$104 million as compared to the first sixnine months of 2014. Ad valorem tax decreased $20$29 million in the first halfnine months of 2015 compared to 2014 as a result of property divestitures.

Impairments For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recorded asset impairments totaling $367 million in connection with fair value assessments, including $210 million for the impairment of gathering, transmission, and processing (GTP) facilities, $148 million for the impairment of an equity method investment, and $9 million for inventory write-downs.

General and Administrative Expenses General and administrative expenses (G&A) for the secondthird quarter of 2015 decreased $2$25 million, or 23 percent, from the secondthird quarter of 2014 on an absolute basis and was essentially flatdecreased $0.33 on a per-unit basis. For the first sixnine months of 2015 G&A decreased $28$53 million, or 16 percent, on an absolute basis from the comparable 2014 period and decreased $0.15$0.22 per boe on a per-unit basis. These reductions reflect our continued focus on cost reductions consistent with the current price environment.

Net financing costs were up $11$47 million and $36$83 million in the secondthird quarter and first sixnine months of 2015, respectively, compared to the same 2014 periods. The primary factor wasperiods, driven by a loss on the decrease inearly extinguishment of debt during the third quarter of 2015. Apache also had lower capitalized interest of $13$10 million and $33$43 million in the secondthird quarter and first sixnine months of 2015, respectively. Lower capitalized interest wasrespectively, compared to the prior-year periods as a result of lower project activities during the quarter and first half of 2015 compared to the prior year periods.activities.

Provision for Income TaxesThe Company estimates its annual effective income tax rate for continuing operations in recording its quarterly provision for income taxes in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Non-cash write-downs of the carrying value of the Company’s proved oil and gas properties, statutory tax rate changes, and other significant or unusual items are recognized as discrete items in the quarter in which they occur.

During the secondthird quarter of 2015 Apache’s effective tax rate was primarily impacted by an increase in the amount of valuation allowances. TheWith the further commodity price declines since the second quarter, management continues to assess the potential realization of its deferred tax assets. In the third quarter, the Company repatriatedrecorded a deferred tax expense of $1.1 billion and $69 million related to an increase in valuation allowances associated with U.S. foreign tax credits and net operating loss carryforwards, respectively. In addition to the allowance recorded during the third quarter, the Company had previously recorded tax expense of $853 million in the second quarter of 2015 related to an increase in valuation allowance associated with management’s assessment on the realizability of U.S. foreign tax credits subsequent to repatriating the majority of net cash proceeds from the Kitimat LNG project and Australia divestitures anddivestitures. The Company is now positioned to efficiently repatriate future foreign earnings. The Company utilized an existing deferred tax asset related to net operating losses to offset a portion of the taxable income from the repatriated proceeds. In addition, the Company established a deferred tax asset related to the creditable foreign taxes that accompanied the repatriated proceeds. Management has assessed the potential to utilize foreign tax credit carryforwards and has determined that more likely than not a portion of this deferred tax asset will not be realized. Accordingly the Company recorded tax expense of $853 million related to an increase in valuation allowance associated with the foreign tax credit carryforward.

Apache’s year-to-date effective tax rate is primarily driven by the impactincrease in U.S. valuation allowances described above and an increase in the valuation allowance on Canadian deferred tax assets, partially offset by the first quartera first-quarter 2015 deferred tax benefit from the previously announced U.K. tax rate change.

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.

Apache’s operating cash flows, both in the short-term and the long-term, are impacted by highly volatile oil and natural gas prices, as well as costs and sales volumes. Significant changes in commodity prices impact our revenues, earnings, and cash flows. These changes potentially impact our liquidity if costs do not trend with changes in commodity prices. Historically, costs have trended with commodity prices, albeit on a lag. Sales volumes also impact cash flows; however, they have a less volatile impact in the short-term.

Deterioration in commodity prices also impacts estimated quantities of proved reserves. In the first halfnine months of 2015, we recognized negative reserve revisions of approximately five13 percent of our year-end 2014 estimated proved reserves as a result of lower prices. If realized prices for the remainder of 2015 approximate commodity future prices as of JuneSeptember 30, 2015, the Company is reasonably likely to report additional negative revisions, currently estimated at fivethree to sevenfive percent of year-end 2014 estimated proved reserves.

33


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 economically.

35


We believe the liquidity and capital resource alternatives available to Apache, combined with proactive measures to adjust our 2015 capital budget to reflect lower oil prices and anticipated operating cash flows, will be adequate to fund short-term and long-term operations, including our capital spending program, repayment of debt maturities, payment of dividends, and any amount that may ultimately be paid in connection with commitments and contingencies.

(1) The table presents capital expenditures on a cash basis; therefore, the amounts may differ from those discussed elsewhere in this document, which include accruals.
(2)For the six months ended June 30, 2014, Apache has recorded $1.4 billion in restricted cash of proceeds from the sale of the Deepwater Gulf of Mexico assets. The amount is excluded from the table above.

Net Cash Provided by Continuing Operating ActivitiesOperating 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 sixnine months of 2015 totaled $1.7$2.6 billion, a decrease of $2.2$3.2 billion from the first sixnine months of 2014. The decrease primarily reflects lower commodity prices and divestitures. Since the end of 2014, we have taken steps to reduce drilling, operating, and overhead costs, with a target of spending within cash flow in 2016.

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.

Kitimat LNG DivestitureDuring the second quarter of 2015, Apache completed the sale of its 50 percent interest in the Kitimat LNG project and related upstream acreage in the Horn River and Liard basins to Woodside for total proceeds of $854 million.

36


Australia Discontinued OperationsIn the second quarter of 2015, Apache completed the sale of its Wheatstone LNG project and associated upstream assets to Woodside for total proceeds of $2.8 billion. During the second quarter of 2015, Apache also completed the sale of its Australian subsidiary AEL to a consortium of private equity funds managed by Macquarie Capital Group Limited and Brookfield Asset Management Inc. for total proceeds of $1.9 billion.

The associated results of operations for the divested Australian assets and the losses on disposal are classified as discontinued operations in all periods presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

For more information regarding our acquisitions and divestitures, please see Note 2—Acquisitions and Divestitures in the notes to consolidated financial statements set forth in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Capital ExpendituresWorldwide E&D expenditures for the first sixnine months of 2015 totaled $3.0$3.8 billion, compared to $4.4$6.6 billion for the first sixnine months of 2014. Apache’s E&D capital spending was primarily focused on North American onshore assets. In the North America onshore region, Apache operated an average of 1413 drilling rigs during the first sixnine months of 2015.

Apache also completed leasehold and property acquisitions totaling $36$254 million and $64$638 million during the second quartersfirst nine months of 2015 and 2014, respectively. For the first six months of 2015 and 2014, Apache had $128 million and $112 million in total leasehold and property acquisitions. Our 2015 acquisition investments continue to focus on adding new leasehold positions to our North American onshore portfolio.

Apache’s investment in gas gathering, transmission, and processing (GTP) facilities totaled $94$113 million during the first sixnine months of 2015 compared to $345$503 million in the comparative prior-year period. The Company’s investment in GTP was primarily associated with the Kitimat LNG project, which was divested in the second quarter of 2015.

Dividends For the six-monthnine-month periods ended JuneSeptember 30, 2015, and 2014, the Company paid $189$283 million and $176$271 million, respectively, in dividends on its common stock.

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, political climate, and global supply and demand. Our average crude oil realizations have decreased 51 percent to $58.09$46.34 per barrel in the secondthird quarter of 2015 from $102.95$94.38 per barrel in the comparable period of 2014. Our average natural gas price realizations have also decreased 3423 percent to $2.73$2.89 per Mcf in the secondthird quarter of 2015 from $4.15$3.75 per Mcf in the comparable period of 2014.

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. Apache periodically uses futures contracts, swaps, and options to mitigate commodity price risk. Apache does not hold or issue derivative instruments for trading purposes. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2015, Apache had no open commodity derivative positions.

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 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 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 $141$133 million would result from a 10 percent weakening or strengthening, respectively, in the Canadian dollar and British pound as of JuneSeptember 30, 2015.
