Forward-Looking Statements and Risk
This report includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements other than statements of historical facts included or incorporated by reference in this report, including, without limitation, statements regarding our future financial position, business strategy, budgets, projected revenues, projected costs, and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are based on our examination of historical operating trends, the information that was used to prepare our estimate of proved reserves as of December 31, 2015, and other data in our possession or available from third parties. In addition, forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “could,” “expect,” “intend,” “project,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “believe,” or “continue” or similar terminology. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to have been correct. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations include, but are not limited to, our assumptions about:
 
the market prices of oil, natural gas, NGLs, and other products or services;

our commodity hedging arrangements;

the integration of acquisitions;

the supply and demand for oil, natural gas, NGLs, and other products or services;

production and reserve levels;

drilling risks;

economic and competitive conditions;

the availability of capital resources;

capital expenditure and other contractual obligations;

currency exchange rates;

weather conditions;

inflation rates;

the availability of goods and services;

legislative or regulatory changes;

the impact on our operations from changes in the Egyptian government;

terrorism or cyber attacks;

occurrence of property acquisitions or divestitures;

the securities or capital markets and related risks such as general credit, liquidity, market, and interest-rate risks; and

other factors disclosed under Items 1 and 2—Business and Properties—Estimated Proved Reserves and Future Net Cash Flows, Item 1A—Risk Factors, Item 7—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Item 7A—Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk and elsewhere in our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K, other risks and uncertainties in our first-quartersecond-quarter 2016 earnings release, other factors disclosed under Part II, Item 1A—Risk Factors of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and other filings that we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to the Company, or persons acting on its behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements. We assume no duty to update or revise our forward-looking statements based on changes in internal estimates or expectations or otherwise.

APACHE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
These consolidated 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,periods. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature and are on a basis consistent with the annual audited consolidated financial statements. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.statements, except as described in Note 1 below. 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 for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, should be read along with Apache’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, which contains a summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies and other disclosures.
1.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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. Results of operations and consolidated cash flows for the divested Australia assets 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—3—Acquisitions and Divestitures.
Recast Financial Information for Change in Accounting Principle
In the second quarter of 2016, Apache voluntarily changed its method of accounting for its oil and gas exploration and development activities from the full cost method to the successful efforts method of accounting. The financial information for prior periods has been recast to reflect retrospective application of the successful efforts method, as prescribed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 932 “Extractive Activities—Oil and Gas.” Although the full cost method of accounting for oil and gas exploration and development activities continues to be an accepted alternative, the successful efforts method of accounting is the generally preferred method of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and is more widely used in the industry such that the change will improve comparability of the Company's financial statements to its peers. The Company believes the successful efforts method provides a more representational depiction of assets and operating results. The successful efforts method also provides for the Company's investments in oil and gas properties to be assessed for impairment in accordance with ASC 360 "Property, Plant, and Equipment" rather than valuations based on prices and costs prescribed under the full cost method as of the balance sheet date. For more detailed information regarding the effects of the change to the successful efforts method, please refer to Note 2—Change in Accounting Principle. The Company has recast certain historical information for all periods presented, including the Statement of Consolidated Operations, Statement of Consolidated Cash Flows, Consolidated Balance Sheet, Statement of Consolidated Changes in Equity, and related information in Notes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 11, and 12.
In the first quarter of 2016, the Company retrospectively adopted a new accounting standard update for all periods presentedASU 2015-03 "Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs," which requires debt issuance costs to be presented as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. For more information regarding this update, please refer to Note 5—7—Debt and Financing Costs.
1.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
As of March 31,June 30, 2016, Apache’s significant accounting policies, other than those discussed above, 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, 2015.
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, the assessment of asset retirement obligations, the estimates of fair value for long-lived assets and goodwill, and the estimate of income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


Fair Value Measurements
Certain assets and liabilities are reported at fair value on a recurring basis in Apache’s consolidated balance sheet. ASC 820-10-35 provides a hierarchy that prioritizes and defines the types of inputs used to measure fair value. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs, which consist of unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. Level 2 inputs consist of quoted prices for similar instruments. Level 3 valuations are derived from inputs that are significant and unobservable; hence, these valuations have the lowest priority.
The valuation techniques that may be used to measure fair value include a market approach, an income approach, and a cost approach. A market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. An income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount based on current market expectations, including present value techniques, option-pricing models, and the excess earnings method. The cost approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost).
Apache also uses fair value measurements on a nonrecurring basis when certain qualitative assessments of its assets indicate a potential impairment. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2016, the Company recorded asset impairments totaling $281 million in connection with fair value assessments in the current low commodity price environment. Impairments totaling $176 million were recorded for oil and gas properties in the U.S. and Canada and $105 million was recorded for GTP assets, which were written down to their fair values. The oil and gas property impairments are discussed in further detail below in “Oil and Gas Property.”
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded asset impairments totaling $2.7 billion in connection with fair value assessments in the current low commodity price environment. Impairments totaling $2.6 billion were recorded for oil and gas properties, which were written down to their fair values. Also, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded $163 million for the impairment of goodwill. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, remaining goodwill in the consolidated balance sheet totaled $87 million for our Egypt reporting unit.
Oil and Gas Property
The Company follows the full-costsuccessful efforts method of accounting for its oil and gas property. Under this method of accounting, exploration costs such as exploratory dry holes, exploratory geological and geophysical costs, delay rentals, unproved impairments, and exploration overhead are expensed as incurred. All costs related to production, general corporate overhead, and similar activities are expensed as incurred. If an exploratory well provides evidence to justify potential development of reserves, drilling costs associated with the well are initially capitalized, or suspended, pending a determination as to whether a commercially sufficient quantity of proved reserves can be attributed to the area as a result of drilling. This determination may take longer than one year in certain areas depending on, among other things, the amount of hydrocarbons discovered, the outcome of planned geological and engineering studies, the need for additional appraisal drilling activities to determine whether the discovery is sufficient to support an economic development plan, and government sanctioning of development activities in certain international locations. At the end of each quarter, management reviews the status of all suspended exploratory well costs incurred for both successful and unsuccessfulin light of ongoing exploration activities; in particular, whether the Company is making sufficient progress in its ongoing exploration and appraisal efforts or, in the case of discoveries requiring government sanctioning, whether development negotiations are underway and proceeding as planned. If management determines that future appraisal drilling or development activities including salaries, benefitsare unlikely to occur, associated suspended exploratory well costs are expensed.
Acquisition costs of unproved properties are assessed for impairment at least annually and other internal costs directly identified with these activities, and oil and gas property acquisitions are capitalized. The net book value oftransferred to proved oil and gas properties less related deferred income taxes, may not exceedto the extent the costs are associated with successful exploration activities. Significant undeveloped leases are assessed individually for impairment based on the Company’s current exploration plans. Unproved oil and gas properties with individually insignificant lease acquisition costs are amortized on a calculated “ceiling.” The ceiling limitation isgroup basis over the estimated after-tax future net cash flows fromaverage lease term at rates that provide for full amortization of unsuccessful leases upon lease expiration or abandonment. Costs of expired or abandoned leases are charged to exploration expense, while costs of productive leases are transferred to proved oil and gas properties. Costs of maintaining and retaining unproved properties, as well as amortization of individually insignificant leases and impairment of unsuccessful leases, are included in exploration costs in the statement of consolidated operations.


Costs to develop proved reserves, discounted at 10 percent per annumincluding the costs of all development wells and adjusted for designated cash flow hedges. Estimated future net cash flowsrelated equipment used in the production of crude oil and natural gas, are calculated using end-of-period costs and an unweighted arithmetic average of commodity prices in effect on the first day of eachcapitalized. Depreciation 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, 2015.
Any excess of the net book valuecost of proved oil and gas properties less related deferred income taxes, overis calculated using the ceilingunit-of-production (UOP) method. The UOP calculation multiplies the percentage of estimated proved reserves produced each quarter by the cost of those reserves. The reserve base used to calculate depreciation for leasehold acquisition costs and the cost to acquire proved properties is chargedthe sum of proved developed reserves and proved undeveloped reserves. With respect to expenselease and reflected as “Additional depreciation, depletion,well equipment costs, which include development costs and amortization” (DD&A)successful exploration drilling costs, the reserve base includes only proved developed reserves. Estimated future dismantlement, restoration and abandonment costs, net of salvage values, are included in the accompanying statementdepreciable cost.
Oil and gas properties are grouped for depreciation in accordance with ASC 932 “Extractive Activities - Oil and Gas.” The basis for grouping is a reasonable aggregation of consolidated operations. Such limitationsproperties with a common geological structural feature or stratigraphic condition, such as a reservoir or field.
When circumstances indicate that proved oil and gas properties may be impaired, the Company compares unamortized capitalized costs to the expected undiscounted pre-tax future cash flows for the associated assets grouped at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are imposed separatelyindependent of cash flows of other assets. If the expected undiscounted pre-tax future cash flows, based on Apache’s estimate of future crude oil and natural gas prices, operating costs, anticipated production from proved reserves and other relevant data, are lower than the unamortized capitalized cost, the capitalized cost is reduced to fair value. Fair value is generally estimated using the income approach described in the ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurement.” If applicable, the Company utilizes accepted bids as the basis for determining fair value. The expected future cash flows used for impairment reviews and related fair value calculations are typically based on judgmental assessments of future production volumes, commodity prices, operating costs, and capital investment plans, considering all available information at the date of review. These assumptions are applied to develop future cash flow projections that are then discounted to estimated fair value, using a country-by-country basis and are tested quarterly. discount rate believed to be consistent with those applied by market participants. Apache has classified these fair value measurements as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

New Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Adopted
In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-09, which seeks to simplify accounting for share-based payment transactions including income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and the classification on the statement of cash flows. The new standard requires the Company to recognize the income tax effects of awards in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted and if an entity early adopts the guidance in an interim period, any adjustments must be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, a new lease standard requiring lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for most leases classified as operating leases under previous U.S. GAAP. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 with early adoption permitted. The Company will be required to use a modified retrospective approach for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard 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 March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, which provides further clarification on the principal versus agent evaluation. The guidance is 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.
2.CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE
During the second quarter of 2016, the Company voluntarily changed its method of accounting for oil and gas exploration and development activities from the full cost method to the successful efforts method. Accordingly, financial information for prior periods has been recast to reflect retrospective application of the successful efforts method. In general, under successful efforts, exploration expenditures such as exploratory dry holes, exploratory geological and geophysical costs, delay rentals, unproved impairments, and exploration overhead are charged against earnings as incurred, versus being capitalized under the full cost method of accounting. Successful efforts also provides for the assessment of potential property impairments under ASC 360 by comparing the net carrying value of oil and gas properties with associated projected undiscounted pre-tax future net cash flows. If the expected undiscounted pre-tax future net cash flows are lower than the unamortized capitalized costs, the capitalized cost is reduced to fair value. Under the full cost method of accounting, a write-down would be required if the net carrying value of oil and gas properties exceeds a full cost “ceiling,” using an unweighted arithmetic average of commodity prices in effect on the first day of each of the previous 12 months. In addition, gains or losses, if applicable, are generally recognized on the dispositions of oil and gas property and equipment under the successful efforts method, as opposed to an adjustment to the net carrying value of the remaining assets under the full cost method. Apache’s consolidated financial statements have been recast to reflect these differences.
The following tables present the effects of the change to the successful efforts method in the statement of consolidated operations:

4.   CAPITALIZED EXPLORATORY WELL COSTS
The Company’s capitalized exploratory well costs were $262 million and $245 million at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The increase is primarily attributable to drilling activities, partially offset by successful transfers and dry hole write-offs. Exploratory well costs that have been capitalized for a period greater than one year since the completion of drilling were $93 million and $61 million at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The exploratory well costs that had been capitalized for a period greater than one year at December 31, 2015 are associated with the Aviat discovery in the North Sea and comprise exploration and appraisal activities. The amount of exploratory well costs capitalized for a period greater than one year increased by $32 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016 as a result of exploration drilling in Suriname. No suspended exploratory well costs previously capitalized for greater than one year at December 31, 2015 were charged to dry hole expense during the six months ended June 30, 2016. Projects with suspended exploratory well costs capitalized for a period greater than one year since the completion of drilling are those identified by management as exhibiting sufficient quantities of hydrocarbons to justify potential development. Management is actively pursuing efforts to assess whether reserves can be attributed to these projects.

The Company’s debt is recorded at the carrying amount, net of related unamortized discount and debt issuance costs, on its consolidated balance sheet. The carrying amount of the Company’s commercial paper, committed bank facilities, and uncommitted bank 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 March 31,June 30, 2016, the Company had a $3.5 billion five-year revolving credit facility which matures in June 2020. Proceeds from borrowings may be used for general corporate purposes. Apache’s available borrowing capacity under this facility supports its $3.5 billion commercial paper program. The commercial paper program, which is subject to market availability, facilitates Apache borrowing funds for up to 270 days at competitive interest rates. As of March 31,June 30, 2016, the Company had no debt outstanding under commercial paper, committed bank facilities, and uncommitted bank lines.

As of March 31,June 30, 2016, the Company had a £900 million three-year letter of credit facility which matures in February 2019. The facility is available for letters of credit and loans to cash collateralize letter of credit obligations to the extent letters of credit are unavailable under the facility. As of June 30, 2016, no letters of credit or loans were outstanding under this facility. Subsequently, as of the date of this filing, a letter of credit for approximately £96 million was outstanding under this facility.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03 "Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs," which requires debt issuance costs to be presented as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability. The Company adopted this update in the first quarter of 2016 and applied the changes retrospectively for all periods presented. At December 31, 2015, the Company had debt issuance costs of $61 million classified as a long-term asset as a component of "deferred charges and other" on the balance sheet that have been netted against "long-term debt" in these unaudited interim financial statements. As of March 31,June 30, 2016, long-term debt is presented net of debt issuance costs of $59$58 million.

6.8.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 firstsecond quarter of 2016, Apache’s effective income tax rate was primarily impacted by an increase in the valuation allowancesallowance on U.S. and Canadian deferred tax assets. During the firstsecond quarter of 2015, Apache’s effective tax rate was primarily impacted by non-cash impairments of the carrying value of the Company's proved oil and gas properties and an increase in the amount of valuation allowances on Canadian deferred tax assets and U.S. foreign tax credits.
Apache's 2016 year-to-date effective tax rate is primarily impacted by an increase in the valuation allowance on Canadian deferred tax assets. Apache's 2015 year-to-date effective tax rate was primarily impacted by non-cash impairments of the carrying value of the Company's proved oil and gas properties and an increase in the amount of valuation allowances on Canadian deferred tax assets and U.S. foreign tax credits, offset by a $619$414 million discrete deferred tax benefit associated with a reduction in the U.K. statutory income tax rate from 62 percent to 50 percent.


7.9.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 March 31,June 30, 2016, the Company has an accrued liability of approximately $14$30 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—9—Commitments and Contingencies to the consolidated financial statements contained in Apache’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015.

Louisiana Restoration 
As more fully described in Apache’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for its 2015 fiscal year, numerous surface owners have filed claims or sent demand letters to various oil and gas companies, including Apache, claiming that, under either express or implied lease terms or Louisiana law, the companies 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.
On or about July 28, 2016, in a case captioned Keith Stutes, District Attorney for the 15th Judicial District of the State of Louisiana v. Gulfport Energy Corporation et al., Docket No. 102156, in the 15th Judicial District Court, Parish of Vermilion, State of Louisiana, plaintiff asserts coastal zone claims similar to the claims filed previously by Plaquemines Parish and Cameron Parish against Apache and various other oil and gas producers. In respect of three lawsuits filed by the Parish of Plaquemines against the Company and other oil and gas producers in the 25th Judicial District Court for the Parish of Plaquemines, State of Louisiana (captioned Parish of Plaquemines v. Rozel Operating Company et al., Docket No. 60-996; Parish of Plaquemines v. Apache Oil Corporation et al., Docket No. 61-000; and Parish of Plaquemines v. HHE Energy Company et al., Docket No. 60-983), in April 2016 the Plaquemines Parish Council reversed course and decided not to dismiss the lawsuits. The Louisiana Attorney General has announced his intention to intervene in the three Plaquemines Parish proceedings and in the Cameron Parish proceedings in the Parish’s 38th Judicial District Court, captioned Parish of Cameron v. BEPCO, L.P., et al., Docket No. 10-19572; Parish of Cameron v. BP America Production Company et al., Docket No. 10-19576; Parish of Cameron v.

Environmental Matters
As of March 31,June 30, 2016, the Company had an undiscounted reserve for environmental remediation of approximately $56$57 million. The Company is not aware of any environmental claims existing as of March 31,June 30, 2016, 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.

Apache Canada Ltd. (ACL) reported a produced water release from a water injection pipeline in a remote area of the Belloy Field that occurred on or about May 4, 2016. The cause of the release remains under investigation. With respect to this release, the summons and information containing charges relating to a leak of produced water in the Zama area that occurred on or between October 3 and October 25, 2013, and the summons and information containing charges relating to a leak of produced water in the Belloy Field operating area that occurred on or about January 20, 2014, the Company does not expect the economic impact of these incidents to 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 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015.

By letter dated June 6, 2016, Quadrant provided the Company with a one-year placeholder notice of claim under the SPA concerning tax and other issues totaling approximately $200 million in the aggregate. The Company is in the process of reviewing the issues raised by Quadrant and believes at this time that these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operation, or liquidity.
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, several court proceedings are pending in the Supreme Court of Western Australia (Case Nos. 2315 of 2015, 2798 of 2015, 1504 of 2016, 1520 of 2016, and 1521 of 2016) concerning or arising out of the Wheatstone sale and purchase agreement, including whether certain amounts are due and owing Apache from Woodside and whether certain of Woodside’s purchase price adjustment claims are time-barred. In addition, Woodside is attempting to commence third party expert determination proceedings at the ICC International Centre for ADR in respect of certain aspects of its purchase price adjustment claims. The Company believes that under the terms of the sale and purchase agreements, Woodside’s requests for payment of purchase price adjustments lack merit and further that Woodside must reimburse Apache certain costs relating to Wheatstone and Kitimat; therefore, the Company has not recorded a liability associated with this dispute. 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 2015the fiscal year.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following 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 2015the fiscal year.year ended December 31, 2015. Financial information for all periods has been recast to reflect the retrospective application of the successful efforts method of accounting, as discussed under Note 1 in Part I, Item 1, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Results of operations and consolidated cash flows for our divested Australia assets are reflected as discontinued operations in all periods presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2016.
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 has exploration and production interests in four geographic areas: the United States (U.S.), Canada, Egypt, and offshore the United Kingdom (U.K.) in the North Sea (North Sea). Apache also pursues exploration interests in other areas that may over time result in reportable discoveries and development opportunities.
The downward pressure on crude oil prices that began in late 2014 and extended throughout 2015 continues to impact 2016 results. Apache’s average realized crude oil prices decreased 34 percent forApache reported a second quarter loss of $244 million, or $0.65 per common share. These results include after-tax asset impairments of $139 million, or $0.37 per common share. During the quarter from the firstsecond quarter of 2015. Additionally, natural gas and natural gas liquids prices are2016, Apache generated cash from operating activities of $744 million, a substantial increase from last quarter but significantly lower than the comparable 2015 period. In response to these price declines,$1.2 billion in second quarter of last year.
While Apache continues to focus on matters withinbe negatively impacted by low commodity prices, we have seen positive results from our control: capital spending, overhead, and leaseaggressive efforts to reduce costs. Lease operating costs.
We significantly reduced capital spendingexpenses in 2016, with firstthe second quarter capital spending decreasing approximately 65were $108 million lower, or 23 percent, from the comparable 2015 period. We will continuesame quarter in 2015. These reductions were driven by efforts to adjustalign staffing levels, renegotiate contracts, and reduce third-party contractor costs. In addition, we diligently focused on improving our capital spending in response to future commodity price fluctuations, cost realignments, and forecasted operating cash flows.
We arewell costs, realizing improvedsubstantial drilling efficiencies and cost reductions in our drilling and completion well costs. For example, in areas in North America where we are actively drilling, average drilling and completion costs on recent wells are down 45 percent compared to average 2014 well costs.the prior year, and we have been able to maintain these savings for the past two quarters.
We continuenow project 2016 full-year capital spending to monitor total overhead costsbe at the high end of our $1.4 billion to $1.8 billion guidance range. Our capital allocation process will remain methodical and rigorous, with a primary focus on balancing our operating cost structure with current and expected activity levels. Last year's organizational changes and steps to streamline our operational structure are allowing us to manage overhead levels and respond appropriately.returns. We continue to make progress on our internal initiatives with a focus on reducing annualized rates.
We have made significant progress reducing lease operating costs, which on a per-unit basis were 21 percent lower than the first quarter of 2015.
We exited the quarter with $1.0 billion in cash and $3.5 billion in available committed borrowing capacity.
2016 Outlook
Apache remainsremain committed to achieving "cash flow neutrality" in 2016, under our current budget. As planned, we were not cash flow neutral in the first quarter; however, we expect to generate a surplus for the balance of the year. As such,and we believe we areremain on track to exit the year with no significant change in net debt (debt less cash) relativerelated to year-year-end 2015. We exited the second quarter with $1.2 billion in cash, an increase of $200 million from the end 2015. In addition,of the first quarter of this year, and $3.5 billion in response to strong performance from our North American assets, we expect less of a production decline from 2015 levels than originally expected and have updated our outlook to a decline in the 6 percent to 10 percent range, after adjusting for divestitures and volumes associated with Egypt's noncontrolling interest and taxes.available committed borrowing capacity.
Operating Highlights
Significant operating activities for the quarter include the following:
Overall
Equivalent production decline from firstsecond quarter of 2015 levels was 2only 8 percent, despite a significant reduction in capital investments in 2015 and the first quarter of 2016 when compared to historicalprior-year levels.
Liquids production for the firstsecond quarter of 2016 averaged 342348 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day (Mboe/d), with crude oil representing 8182 percent of total liquids production. Liquids production decreased 36 percent from the firstsecond quarter of 2015.


North America
Onshore equivalent production was down 311 percent for the quarter relative to the 2015 period. This production performance is notable given a significant reduction in North American onshore exploration and development capital spending during 2015 and the first quarterhalf of 2016.
FirstSecond quarter equivalent production from the Permian Basin region, which accounts for more than half of our total onshore North American production, increased 8decreased 4 percent from the firstsecond quarter of 2015 despite significantly fewer wells placed on production during the firstsecond quarter of 2016.


International and Offshore
In Egypt, we averaged 104 rigs and placed 2314 wells on production during the quarter. Gross equivalent production increased 3 percent overremained flat compared with the firstsecond quarter of 2015, driven by an increase of 64 percent in higher margin oil production, which was partially offset by a decline in lower margin natural gas production. On a net basis, equivalent production grew 2declined 5 percent from the firstsecond quarter of 2015.2015, the impact of cost recovery volumes under our production-sharing contracts.
North Sea average daily production decreased by 1increased 2 percent for the first three monthssecond quarter of 2016 from the second quarter of last year as a result of three new wells brought onto production late in the first quarter of last year. This quarter’s production was negatively impacted by downtime from unexpected outages on third-party infrastructure, temporarily offsetting the impact of  four successful new wells placed on production in the quarter.
Despite the impact of the unplanned third party facility downtime in the North Sea, we believe we are on track to achieve our full year International and Offshore production outlook of 170 to 190 Mboe/d.2016.

Second-Quarter 2016 compared to Second-Quarter 2015
Crude Oil Revenues Crude oil revenues for the firstsecond quarter of 2016 totaled $795 million,$1.1 billion, a $485$500 million decrease from the comparative 2015 quarter. A 7 percent decrease in average daily production reduced first-quartersecond-quarter 2016 revenues by $48$84 million compared to the prior-year quarter, while 3426 percent lower average realized prices decreased revenues by $437$416 million. Crude oil prices realized in the first quarter of 2016 averaged $31.51 per barrel, compared with $47.87 per barrel in the comparative prior-year quarter. Crude oil accounted for 7581 percent of oil and gas production revenues and 5253 percent of worldwide production in the firstsecond quarter of 2016. Crude oil prices realized in the second quarter of 2016 averaged $43.14 per barrel, compared with $58.06 per barrel in the comparative prior-year quarter.
Worldwide oil production decreased 19.921.2 Mb/d to 277.3285.0 Mb/d, primarily a result of reduced drilling activity in response to low commodity prices. Decreases from natural decline were partially offset by new production in the North Sea’s Beryl field and in Egypt.


Natural Gas Revenues Gas revenues for the firstsecond quarter of 2016 totaled $223$209 million, a $77an $106 million decrease from the comparative 2015 quarter. An 11 percent decrease in average daily production reduced second-quarter revenues by $26 million compared to the prior-year quarter, driven bywhile 26 percent lower average realized prices. Worldwide natural gas production was essentially flat between the periods.prices decreased revenues by $80 million. Natural gas accounted for 2115 percent of our oil and gas production revenues and 3635 percent of our equivalent production.production during the second quarter of 2016.


NGL Revenues NGL revenues for the firstsecond quarter of 2016 totaled $42$59 million, a $16$1 million decreaseincrease from the comparative 2015 quarter. An 18A 1 percent increase in average daily production increased first-quartersecond-quarter 2016 revenues by $7approximately $1 million, while 39 percent lower average realized prices decreased revenues by $23 million.remained essentially flat for the second quarter of 2016 compared to the prior-year quarter. NGLs accounted for 4 percent of our oil and gas production revenues and 12 percent of our equivalent production.production during the second quarter of 2016.
Worldwide production of NGLs increased 9.9 Mb/353 b/d to 64.963.2 Mb/d in the firstsecond quarter of 2016, primarily the result of new production from completion activity in our North American onshore areas, gas processing plant downtime in the prior year period, and changes to existing gas processing arrangements.

Year-to-Date 2016 compared to Year-to-Date 2015
Crude Oil Revenues Crude oil revenues for the first six months of 2016 totaled $1.9 billion, a $971 million decrease from the comparative 2015 period. A 6 percent decrease in average daily production reduced 2016 oil revenues by $111 million compared to the prior-year period, while 30 percent lower average realized prices decreased revenues by $860 million. Crude oil accounted for 79 percent of oil and gas production revenues and 53 percent of worldwide production for the first six months of 2016, compared to 80 percent and 54 percent, respectively, for the 2015 period. Crude oil prices realized in the first six months of 2016 averaged $37.37 per barrel, compared with $53.03 per barrel in the comparative prior-year period.
Worldwide production decreased 18.0 Mb/d to 285.3 Mb/d in the first six months of 2016 from the comparative prior-year period, primarily a result of reduced drilling activity in response to lower commodity prices.
Natural Gas Revenues Gas revenues for the first six months of 2016 totaled $432 million, a $191 million decrease from the comparative 2015 period. A 7 percent decrease in average daily production reduced 2016 natural gas revenues by $29 million compared to the prior-year period, while 26 percent lower average realized prices decreased revenues by $162 million. Natural gas accounted for 17 percent of our oil and gas production revenues and 35 percent of our equivalent production for the first six months of 2016, compared to 17 percent and 36 percent, respectively, for the 2015 period.
Our worldwide natural gas production decreased 83.7 MMcf/d to 1,134 MMcf/d in the first six months of 2016 from the comparative prior-year period, primarily the result of reduced drilling activity in response to lower commodity prices.
NGL Revenues NGL revenues for the first six months of 2016 totaled $101 million, a $15 million decrease from the comparative 2015 period. A 9 percent increase in average production increased 2016 NGL revenues by $9 million compared to the prior-year period, while 21 percent lower average realized prices decreased revenues by $24 million. NGLs accounted for nearly 4 percent of oil and gas production revenues and 12 percent of our equivalent production for the first six months of 2016, compared to 3 percent and 10 percent, respectively, for the 2015 period.
Worldwide production of NGLs increased 5.1 Mb/d to 64.1 Mb/d in the first six months of 2016 from the comparative prior-year period, primarily as a result of North American onshore production growth from drilling and recompletion activity and also new production in North Sea's Beryl field.


Operating Expenses
The table below presents a comparison of our expenses on an absolute dollar basis and a boe basis. Our discussion may reference expenses on a boe basis, on an absolute dollar basis or both, depending on their relevance. Operating expenses include costs attributable to a noncontrolling interest in Egypt but, for the quarter and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2015, exclude discontinued operations in Australia.

Recurring Depreciation, Depletion, and Amortization (DD&A) Oil and gas property recurring DD&A expense of $552 million in the first quarter of 2016 decreased $447 million compared to the prior-year quarter. The Company’s oil and gas property recurring DD&A rate decreased $9.07 per boe for the first quarter of 2016 compared to the prior-year period. 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 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 $325 million and $4.7 billion in the first quarters of 2016 and 2015, respectively. The following table reflects write-downs by country:

Lease Operating Expenses (LOE) LOE decreased $103$108 million, or 2123 percent, for the quarter, and $211 million, or 22 percent, for the six-month period, on an absolute dollar basis relative to the comparable periodperiods of 2015. On a per-unit basis, LOE decreased 2117 percent to $7.81$7.38 per boe for the second quarter of 2016, and 19 percent to $7.52 per boe for the first quartersix months of 2016, as compared to the prior-year period.periods. These reductions reflect the impact of our continued focus on costs, a decrease in cost types that trend downward in lower commodityreductions consistent with the current price environments, the timing of workovers and other expenditures in the Permian and North Sea, and the favorable impact of the strengthening U.S. dollar period over period.environment.
Gathering and Transportation Gathering and transportation costs totaled $52 million and $104 million in the second quarter and first quartersix months of 2016, a decreaserespectively, an increase of $4$3 million from the firstsecond quarter of 2015, on lower production volumes andwhile staying flat when compared to the first six months of 2015. The second quarter increase from the prior year period was driven primarily by rate changes primarily in our North American onshore properties.
Taxes other than Income Taxes other than income totaled $11$65 million and $76 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2016, respectively, an increase of $10 million from the second quarter of 2016,2015 and a decrease of $63$52 million from the comparative prior-year period.first six months of 2015. The North Sea Petroleum Revenue Tax (PRT) is assessed on qualifying fields in the U.K. North Sea. For the first quarter of 2016, U.K. PRT was $41$34 million higher than the second quarter of 2015 and $7 million lower than the first six months of 2015, periodrespectively, as a result of lower revenues, during the first quarter of 2016, a lower PRT rate, and additional qualifying costs reducing prior-year PRT. Severance tax expense and ad valorem tax expense decreased $11$9 million and $8$4 million, respectively, on lower oil production and commodity prices during the firstsecond quarter compared to the prior year period.quarter. For the first six months of 2016, severance tax expense and ad valorem tax expense decreased $21 million and $12 million, respectively, compared to the first six months of 2015.
On March 24, 2016, the U.K. government released Finance Bill 2016, which provides tax relief to exploration and production (E&P) companies operating in the North Sea. The bill is expected to receive Royal Assent later this year. Under the bill, the U.K. PRT rate will be reduced to zero from the current 35 percent rate and will be effective January 1, 2016. Upon enactment, PRT expense ceases prospectively. As a further result of this change, the Company expects to record a charge of approximately $290 million (after-tax) for PRT benefits that are no longer expected to be realizable from future abandonment activities.


Exploration Expense Exploration expense includes unproved leasehold impairments, exploration dry hole expense, geological and geophysical expenses, and the costs of maintaining and retaining unproved leasehold properties. Exploration expenses in the second quarter and first six months of 2016 decreased $134 million and $297 million, respectively, from the comparative prior-year periods as a result of a reduction in unproved leasehold impairments and reduced drilling activity in response to lower commodity prices.
The following table presents a summary of exploration expense:

General and Administrative (G&A) Expenses DespiteIn line with our continued focus on cost reduction efforts, G&A expense for the second quarter of 2016 was $11$8 million higherlower than the firstsecond quarter of 2015, which included $142015. For the first six months of 2016, G&A expense remained flat as the result of $18 million in reductions from lower than expected incentive compensation payouts and lower stock based compensation expense.expense during the first half of 2015. Absent these benefits to the first-quarterfirst half of 2015 G&A, this quarter's G&A expense for the first six months of 2016 would have been $3$17 million lower.
Depreciation, Depletion, and Amortization (DD&A) Oil and gas property DD&A expense of $629 million in the second quarter of 2016 decreased $82 million compared to the second quarter of 2015. For the first six months of 2016, oil and gas property DD&A expense decreased $189 million compared to prior-year period. The Company's oil and gas property DD&A rate decreased $0.55 per boe and $1.31 per boe in the second quarter and first six months of 2016, respectively, compared to the comparable 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 properties as a result of impairments to proved properties in 2015.
Impairments During each of the second quarter and first six months of 2016, the Company recorded asset impairments totaling $173 million related to certain property and equipment, compared to $512 million and $2.4 billion of impairments in the second quarter and first six months of 2015, respectively.
Transaction, Reorganization, and Separation The Company incurred $15$9 million and $24 million for the second quarter and first quartersix months of 2016, respectively, related to company reorganization costs. The costs incurred for the year includes approximately $11$19 million for employee separation and $4$5 million for consolidation of office space and other reorganization efforts.

Provision for 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-downsimpairments of the carrying value of the Company’s proved and unproved 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 firstsecond quarter of 2016, Apache’s effective income tax rate was primarily impacted by an increase in the valuation allowancesallowance on U.S. and Canadian deferred tax assets. During the firstsecond quarter of 2015, Apache’s effective tax rate was primarily impacted by non-cash impairments of the carrying value of the Company's proved oil and gas properties and an increase in the amount of valuation allowances on Canadian deferred tax assets and U.S. foreign tax credits.
Apache’s 2016 year-to-date effective tax rate is primarily impacted by an increase in the valuation allowance on Canadian deferred tax assets. Apache’s 2015 year-to-date effective tax rate was primarily impacted by non-cash impairments of the carrying value of the Company’s proved oil and gas properties and an increase in the amount of valuation allowances on Canadian deferred tax assets and U.S. foreign tax credits, offset by a $619$414 million discrete deferred tax benefit associated with a reduction in the U.K. statutory income tax rate from 62 percent to 50 percent. Both periods were impacted by the respective non-cash write-downs of the carrying value of the Company’s proved oil and gas properties.
On March 24, 2016, the U.K. government released Finance Bill 2016. The bill is expected to receive Royal Assent later this year. Under the bill, the U.K. corporate income tax rate will be reduced from 50 percent to 40 percent, effective January 1, 2016. Under U.S. GAAP, the effect of a change in tax rate will be recognized at the date of enactment (i.e., the date when the bill receives Royal Assent). As such, the proposed rate change is not reflected in the current financial statements. Upon the bill receiving Royal Assent, the Company will record a deferred tax benefit of approximately $199$239 million related to the remeasurement of the Company's December 31, 2015 U.K. deferred income tax liability.


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 with a lag. Sales volumes also impact cash flows; however, they have a less volatile impact 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 economically. Deterioration in commodity prices also impacts estimated quantities of proved reserves. In the firstsecond quarter of 2016, we recognized negative reserve revisions of approximately 510 percent of our year-end 2015 estimated proved reserves as a result of lower prices. If realized prices for the remainder of 2016 approximate commodity future prices as of March 31,June 30, 2016, the Company is reasonably likely to reportdoes not expect additional negative revisions currently estimated at 4 to 6 percentfor the remainder of year-end 2015 estimated proved reserves.


the year.
We believe the liquidity and capital resource alternatives available to Apache, combined with proactive measures to adjust our capital budget to reflect lower commodity 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.

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, exploratory dry hole expense, asset impairments, 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 threesix months of 2016 totaled $276$983 million, a decrease of $301$640 million from the first threesix months of 2015. The decrease primarily reflects lower commodity prices.
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.
Asset Divestitures The Company had asset divestitures totaling $48 million and $5.7 billion in the first six months of 2016 and 2015, respectively. For information regarding our acquisitions and divestitures, please see Note 3—Acquisitions and Divestitures.
Capital Expenditures Worldwide exploration and development (E&D) expenditures for the first threesix months of 2016 totaled $583$925 million, compared to $1.6$2.8 billion for the first threesix months of 2015. This reduction is a direct result of our proactive measures to adjust our capital budget to reflect lower commodity prices and operating cash flows. Apache operated an average of 2412 drilling rigs during the firstsecond quarter of 2016.


Apache also completed leasehold and property acquisitions totaling $19$118 million and $91$128 million during the first threesix months of 2016 and 2015, respectively. Our 2016 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 facilities totaled $63$94 million in the first threesix months of 2015. No meaningful expenses were incurred during 2016.
Dividends For the three-monthsix-month periods ended March 31,June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company paid $95$189 million and $94$189 million, respectively, in dividends on its common stock.

Cash and cash equivalents The Company had $1.0$1.2 billion in cash and cash equivalents as of March 31,June 30, 2016, compared to $1.5 billion at December 31, 2015. At March 31,June 30, 2016, approximately $810 million$1.0 billion of the cash was held by foreign subsidiaries. The cash held by foreign subsidiaries should not be subject to additional U.S. income taxes if repatriated. The majority of the cash is invested in highly liquid, investment grade securities with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase.
Debt As of March 31,June 30, 2016, outstanding debt, which consisted of notes and debentures, totaled $8.7 billion. As of March 31,June 30, 2016, Apache had $416,000 of notes due June 2016 and $483,000 of notes due March 2017 classified as short-term debt on the consolidated balance sheet.
Available committed borrowing capacity In June 2015, the Company entered into a $3.5 billion five-year revolving credit facility which matureswith $3.5 billion in June 2020.commitments and rights to increase commitments to $4.5 billion. Proceeds from borrowings may be used for general corporate purposes. Apache’s available borrowing capacity under this facility supports its $3.5 billion commercial paper program.program of currently $3.5 billion. The commercial paper program, which is subject to market availability, facilitates Apache borrowing funds for up to 270 days at competitive interest rates. As of March 31,June 30, 2016, the Company had no debt outstanding under commercial paper, committed bank facilities, and uncommitted bank lines.
In February 2016, the Company entered into a three-year letter of credit facility providing £900 million in commitments, with options to increase commitments to £1.075 billion and extend the term by one year. The facility is available for letters of credit and loans to cash collateralize letter of credit obligations to the extent letters of credit are unavailable under the facility. The facility’s representations and warranties, covenants, and events of default are substantially similar to those in the Company’s $3.5 billion revolving credit facility. Commissions are payable on outstanding letters of credit and borrowings bear interest (at a base rate or LIBOR), plus a margin. Letter of credit commissions, the interest margin, and the facility fee vary depending on the Company’s senior unsecured long-term debt rating. The Company has not requested any letters of credit or borrowings under this facility as of the date of this filing. This facility is available for the Company’s letter of credit needs, particularly those which may arise in respect of abandonment obligations assumed in various North Sea acquisitions. As of June 30, 2016, no letters of credit or loans were outstanding under this facility. Subsequently, as of the date of this filing, a letter of credit for approximately £96 million was outstanding under this facility.
The Company was in compliance with the terms of all credit facilities as of March 31,June 30, 2016.



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 3426 percent to $31.51$43.14 per barrel in the firstsecond quarter of 2016 from $47.87$58.06 per barrel in the comparable period of 2015. Our average natural gas price realizations have decreased 26 percent to $2.15$2.04 per Mcf in the firstsecond quarter of 2016 from $2.93$2.74 per Mcf in the comparable period of 2015.
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 March 31,June 30, 2016, 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 $133$137 million would result from a 10 percent weakening or strengthening, respectively, in the Canadian dollar and British pound as of March 31,June 30, 2016.

ITEM 4 – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
John J. Christmann IV, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and President, in his capacity as principal executive officer, and Stephen J. Riney, the Company’s Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, in his capacity as principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31,June 30, 2016, the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation and as of the date of that evaluation, these officers concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective, providing effective means to ensure that information we are required to disclose under applicable laws and regulations is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
We periodically review the design and effectiveness of our disclosure controls, including compliance with various laws and regulations that apply to our operations both inside and outside the United States. We make modifications to improve the design and effectiveness of our disclosure controls, and may take other corrective action, if our reviews identify deficiencies or weaknesses in our controls.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In the quarter ended June 30, 2016, Apache modified certain policies, procedures, and related internal controls that were impacted by the change in accounting principle from the full cost method to the successful efforts method of accounting. There was no other change in our internal controls over financial reporting during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
