APA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared by APA Corporation (APA 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 presentation of the results for the interim periods, on a basis consistent with the annual audited financial statements, with the exception of any recently adopted accounting pronouncements discussed below.pronouncements. 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 (GAAP) have been condensed or 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 the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K of Apache Corporation, the Company’s predecessor registrant, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020,2021, which contains a summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies and other disclosures.
On January 4,March 1, 2021, Apache Corporation, announced plans to implementthe Company’s predecessor registrant, consummated a holding company reorganization (the Holding Company Reorganization), pursuant to which was thereafter completed on March 1, 2021. In connection with the Holding Company Reorganization, Apache Corporation became a direct, wholly-ownedwholly owned subsidiary of APA Corporation, and all of Apache Corporation’s outstanding shares were automatically converted into equivalent corresponding shares of APA. Pursuant to the Holding Company Reorganization, APA became the successor issuer to Apache Corporation pursuant to Rule 12g-3(a) under the Exchange Act and replaced Apache Corporation as the public company trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the ticker symbol “APA.” The holding company structureHolding Company Reorganization modernized the Company’s operating and legal structure to more closely align with its growing international presence, making it more consistent with other companies that have subsidiaries operating around the globe.
1.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
As of March 31, 2021,2022, the Company's significant accounting policies are consistent with those discussed in Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Apache Corporation’sthe Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.2021. The Company’s financial statements for prior periods include reclassifications that were made to conform to the current-year presentation.presentation, if applicable.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of APA and its subsidiaries after elimination of intercompany balances and transactions.
The implementation of the Holding Company Reorganization was accounted for as a merger under common control. APA recognized the assets and liabilities of Apache at carryover basis. The consolidated financial statements of APA present comparative information for prior years on a combined basis, as if both APA and Apache were under common control for all periods presented.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of APA and its subsidiaries after elimination of intercompany balances and transactions. The Company’s undivided interests in oil and gas exploration and production ventures and partnerships are proportionately consolidated.
The Company consolidates all other investments in which, either through direct or indirect ownership, it has more than a 50 percent voting interest or controls the financial and operating decisions. Noncontrolling interests represent third-party ownership in the net assets of a consolidated subsidiary of APA and are reflected separately in the Company’s financial statements.
Sinopec International Petroleum Exploration and Production Corporation (Sinopec) owns a one-third minority participation in the Company’s consolidated Egypt oil and gas business as a noncontrolling interest, which is reflected as a separate noncontrolling interest component of equity in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. Additionally, prior to the BCP Business Combination defined below, third-party investors ownowned a minority interest of approximately 21 percent of Altus Midstream Company (ALTM)(ALTM or Altus), which iswas reflected as a separate noncontrolling interest component of equity in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. ALTM qualifiesqualified as a variable interest entity under GAAP, for which APA consolidatesconsolidated because a wholly-ownedwholly owned subsidiary of APA hashad a controlling financial interest and was determined to be the primary beneficiary. Additionally, the assets of ALTM could only be used to settle obligations of ALTM. There was no recourse to the Company for ALTM’s liabilities.
6


On February 22, 2022, ALTM closed a previously announced transaction to combine with privately owned BCP Raptor Holdco LP (BCP and, together with BCP Raptor Holdco GP, LLC, the Contributed Entities) in an all-stock transaction, pursuant to the Contribution Agreement entered into by and among ALTM, Altus Midstream LP, New BCP Raptor Holdco, LLC (the Contributor), and BCP (the BCP Contribution Agreement). Pursuant to the BCP Contribution Agreement, the Contributor contributed all of the equity interests of the Contributed Entities (the Contributed Interests) to Altus Midstream LP, with each Contributed Entity becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Altus Midstream LP (the BCP Business Combination). Upon closing the transaction, the combined entity was renamed Kinetik Holdings Inc. (Kinetik), and the Company determined that it was no longer the primary beneficiary of ALTM. The Company further determined that ALTM no longer qualified as a variable interest entity under GAAP.As a result, the Company deconsolidated ALTM on February 22, 2022. Refer to Note 2—Acquisitions and Divestitures for further detail.
The stockholders agreement entered into by and among the Company, ALTM, BCP, and other related and affiliated entities provides that the Company, through one of its wholly owned subsidiaries, retains the ability to designate a director to the board of directors of Kinetik for so long as the Company and its affiliates beneficially own 10 percent or more of Kinetik’s outstanding common stock. Based on this board representation, combined with the Company’s stock ownership, management determined it has significant influence over Kinetik. Investments in which the Company has significant influence, but not control, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. These investments are recorded separately as “Equity method interests” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The Company’s proportionate share ofCompany elected the results of operations generated by thefair value option to account for its equity method interests are recorded as a component of “Other, net” under “Revenues and Other”interest in the Company’s statement of consolidated operations.Kinetik. Refer to Note 6—Equity Method Interests for further detail.
Use of Estimates
Preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities requirerequires 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. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions on a regular basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions used in preparation of the Company’s financial statements, and changes in these estimates are recorded when known.
Significant estimates with regard to these financial statements include the estimates of fair value for long-lived assets (refer to “Fair Value Measurements” and “Property and Equipment” sections in this Note 1 below), the fair value determination of acquired assets and liabilities (refer to Note 2—Acquisitions and Divestitures), the fair value of equity method interests (refer to “Equity Method Interests” within this Note 1 below and Note 6—Equity Method Interests), the assessment of asset retirement obligations (refer to Note 8—Asset Retirement Obligation), the estimation of the contingent liability representing Apache’s potential obligation to decommission sold properties in the Gulf of Mexico (refer to Note 11—Commitments and Contingencies), the estimate of income taxes (refer to Note 10—Income Taxes), and the estimate of proved oil and gas reserves and related present value estimates of future net cash flows therefrom.
Fair Value Measurements
Certain assets and liabilities are reported at fair value on a recurring basis in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The Company determines fair value measurements in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820-10-35, “Fair Value Measurement” (ASC 820), which provides a hierarchy that prioritizes and defines the types of inputs used to basemeasure fair value measurements.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).
Refer to Note 4—Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, Note 6Equity Method Interests, Note 9—Debt and Financing Costs, and Note 12—Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest - Altus for further detail regarding the Company’s fair value measurements recorded on a recurring basis.
Fair value measurements are recorded on a nonrecurring basis when certain qualitative assessments of the Company’s assets indicate potential impairment. Asset impairments recorded in connection with fair value assessments were as follows:

Payments under all contracts with customers are typically due and received within a short-term period of one year or less after physical delivery of the product or service has been rendered. Receivables from the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) global pandemiccontracts with customers, net of allowance for credit losses, were $1.5 billion and related governmental actions, the Company assessed its oil and gas property and gathering, processing, and transmission (GPT) facilities for impairment based on the net book value of its assets$956 million as of March 31, 2020. The Company recognized proved property impairments totaling $3.9 billion, $354 million,2022 and $7 millionDecember 31, 2021, respectively. Refer to Note 14—Business Segment Information for a disaggregation of oil, gas, and natural gas production revenue by product and reporting segment.
Oil and gas production revenues from non-customers represent income taxes paid to the Arab Republic of Egypt by Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation on behalf of the Company. Revenue and associated expenses related to such tax volumes are recorded as “Oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids production revenues” and “Current income tax provision,” respectively, in the U.S., Egypt,Company’s statement of consolidated operations. Refer to Note 14—Business Segment Information for a disaggregation of revenue by product and North Sea, respectively,reporting segment.

Impairments totaling $68 million were similarly recorded for GPT facilities in Egypt. These impairments are discussed in further detail below in “Property and Equipment - Oil and Gas Property” and “Property and Equipment - Gathering, Processing, and Transmission Facilities.”
During the first quarter of 2020,satisfy its obligations. As such, the Company also recognized impairments of $13 million forhas elected the early termination of drilling rig leases and $5 million for inventory revaluations, both inpractical expedients available under the U.S.
Duringstandard to not disclose the first quarter of 2020, the Company performed an interim impairment analysisaggregate transaction price allocated to unsatisfied, or partially unsatisfied, performance obligations as of the goodwill related to its Egypt reporting segment. Reductions in the estimated net present value of expected future cash flows from oil and gas properties resulted in fair values below the carrying valuesend of the Company’s Egypt reporting unit. As a result of these assessments, the Company recognized non-cash impairments of the entire amount of recorded goodwill in the Egypt reporting unit of $87 million.period.
Property and Equipment
The carrying value of the Company’s property and equipment represents the cost incurred to acquire the property and equipment, including capitalized interest, net of any impairments. For business combinations, property and equipment cost is based on the fair values at the acquisition date.
Oil and Gas Property
The Company follows the successful efforts method of accounting for its oil and gas property. Under this method of accounting, exploration costs, such as exploratory geological and geophysical costs, delay rentals, 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 in 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 are unlikely to occur, associated suspended exploratory well costs are expensed.
Acquisition costs of unproved properties are assessed for impairment at least annually and are transferred to proved oil and gas properties to 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 group basis over the average 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.
8


Costs to develop proved reserves, including the costs of all development wells and related equipment used in the production of crude oil and natural gas, are capitalized. Depreciation of the cost of proved oil and gas properties is calculated using the unit-of-production (UOP) method. The UOP calculation multiplies the percentage of estimated proved reserves produced each quarter by the carrying value of associated proved oil and gas properties. The reserve base used to calculate depreciation for leasehold acquisition costs and the cost to acquire proved properties is the sum of proved developed reserves and proved undeveloped reserves. The reserve base used to calculate the depreciation for capitalized well costs is the sum of proved developed reserves only. Estimated future dismantlement, restoration and abandonment costs, net of salvage values, are included in the depreciable cost.
8


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 properties with a common geological structural feature or stratigraphic condition, such as a reservoir or field.
When circumstances indicate that the carrying value of proved oil and gas properties may not be recoverable, 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 independent of cash flows of other assets. If the expected undiscounted pre-tax future cash flows, based on the Company’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 ASC 820. The expected future cash flows used for impairment reviews and related fair value calculations are typically based on judgmental assessments, a Level 3 fair value measurement.
The significant decline in crude oil and natural gas prices, as well as longer-term commodity price outlooks, related to reduced demand for oil and natural gas as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and related governmental actions indicated possible impairment of the Company’s proved and unproved oil and gas properties in early 2020. In addition to estimating risk-adjusted reserves and future production volumes, estimated future commodity prices are the largest driver in variability of undiscounted pre-tax cash flows. Expected cash flows were estimated based on management’s views of published West Texas Intermediate (WTI), Brent, and Henry Hub forward pricing as of the balance sheet dates. Other significant assumptions and inputs used to calculate estimated future cash flows include estimates for future development activity, exploration plans and remaining lease terms. A 10 percent discount rate, based on a market-based weighted-average cost of capital estimate, was applied to the undiscounted cash flow estimate to value all of the Company’s asset groups that were subject to impairment charges in the first quarter of 2020.
The following table represents non-cash impairment charges of the carrying value of the Company’s proved and unproved properties:

Total unproved properties$18 $19 
Proved properties impaired during the first quarter of 2020 had an aggregate fair value of $1.9 billion as of March 31, 2020.
Unproved leasehold impairments are typically recorded as a component of “Exploration” expense in the Company’s statement of consolidated operations. Gains and losses on divestitures of the Company’s oil and gas properties are recognized in the statement of consolidated operations upon closing of the transaction. Refer to Note 2—Acquisitions and Divestitures for more detail.
Gathering, Processing, and Transmission Facilities
GPT facilities totaled $671 million and $670 million at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, with accumulated depreciation for these assets totaling $342 million and $323 million for the respective periods. GPT facilities are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimation of useful life takes into consideration anticipated production lives from the fields serviced by the GPT assets, whether APA-operated or third party-operated, as well as potential development plans by the Company for undeveloped acreage within, or close to, those fields.
9


The Company assesses the carrying amount of its GPT facilities whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the carrying amount of these facilities is more than the sum of the undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized for the excess of the carrying value over its fair value.
2.    ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES
2022 Activity
The BCP Business Combination was completed on February 22, 2022. As consideration for the contribution of the Contributed Interests, ALTM issued 50 million shares of Class C Common Stock (and Altus Midstream LP issued a corresponding number of common units) to BCP’s unitholders, which are principally funds affiliated with Blackstone and I Squared Capital. ALTM’s stockholders continued to hold their existing shares of Common Stock. As a result of the transaction, the Contributor, or its designees, collectively owned approximately 75 percent of the issued and outstanding shares of ALTM Common Stock. Apache Midstream LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of APA, which owned approximately 79 percent of the issued and outstanding shares of ALTM Common Stock prior to the BCP Business Combination, owned approximately 20 percent of the issued and outstanding shares of ALTM Common Stock after the transaction closed.

As a result of the BCP Business Combination, the Company deconsolidated ALTM on February 22, 2022 and recognized a gain of approximately $609 million that reflects the difference of the Company’s share of ALTM’s deconsolidated balance sheet and the fair value of its approximate 20 percent retained ownership in the combined entity.

In March 2022, the Company sold 4000000 of its shares in Kinetik for cash proceeds of $224 million and recognized a loss of $25 million, including transaction fees. Refer to Note 6—Equity Method Interests for further detail. In connection with this secondary offering, the Company has agreed that within the next 24 months, it will invest a minimum of $100 million of these proceeds for new well drilling and completion activity at the Alpine High play in the Delaware Basin, where Kinetik has exclusive gas and NGL gathering and processing rights.
In March 2022, the Company completed the previously announced transaction to sell certain non-core mineral rights in the Delaware Basin for total cash proceeds of approximately $759 million after certain post-closing adjustments. The Company assessed its long-lived infrastructurerecognized a gain of approximately $590 million from the transaction. The Company also completed the sale of other non-core assets and leasehold in multiple transactions for impairment at March 31, 2020, and recorded an impairmenttotal cash proceeds of $68$8 million. The Company recognized a gain of approximately $2 million on its GPT facilities in Egyptupon closing of these transactions during the first quarter of 2020. The fair values of the impaired assets, which were determined to be $46 million, were estimated using the income approach, which considers internal estimates based on future throughput volumes from applicable development concessions in Egypt and estimated costs to operate. These assumptions were applied based on throughput assumptions developed in relation to the oil and gas proved property impairment assessment, as discussed above, to develop future cash flow projections that were then discounted to estimated fair value, using a 10 percent discount rate, based on a market-based weighted-average cost of capital estimate. The Company has classified these non-recurring fair value measurements as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.2022.
Revenue Recognition
10

There have been no significant changes to the Company’s contracts with customers during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.
Payments under all contracts with customers are typically due and received within a short-term period of one year or less after physical delivery of the product or service has been rendered. Receivables from contracts with customers, net of allowance for credit losses, totaled $957 million and $670 million as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
Oil and gas production revenues from non-customers were $106 million and $48 million during the first quarter of 2021 and 2020, respectively, and represent income taxes paid to the Arab Republic of Egypt by Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation on behalf of the Company. Revenue and associated expenses related to such tax volumes are recorded as “Oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids production revenues” and “Current income tax provision,” respectively, in the Company’s statement of consolidated operations. Refer to Note 14—Business Segment Information for a disaggregation of revenue by product and reporting segment.
In accordance with the provisions of ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” variable market prices for each short-term commodity sale are allocated entirely to each performance obligation as the terms of payment relate specifically to the Company’s efforts to satisfy its obligations. As such, the Company has elected the practical expedients available under the standard to not disclose the aggregate transaction price allocated to unsatisfied, or partially unsatisfied, performance obligations as of the end of the reporting period.
Transaction, Reorganization, and Separation (TRS)
In recent years, the Company streamlined its portfolio through strategic divestitures and centralized certain operational activities in an effort to capture greater efficiencies and cost savings through shared services. In light of the continued streamlining of the Company’s asset portfolio through divestitures and strategic transactions, in late 2019 management initiated a comprehensive redesign of the Company’s organizational structure and operations. Efforts related to this reorganization were substantially completed during 2020. The Company incurred and paid a cumulative total of $79 million of reorganization costs through December 31, 2020.
The Company recorded $27 million of TRS costs during the first quarter of 2020. TRS costs incurred in the first three months of 2020 related to $25 million of separation costs associated with the reorganization and $2 million for transaction consulting fees.

Suriname Joint Venture Agreement
In December 2019, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with Total S.A. to explore and develop Block 58 offshore Suriname. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company and Total S.A. each hold a 50 percent working interest in Block 58. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company operated the drilling of the first four wells, the Maka Central-1, Sapakara West-1, Kwaskwasi-1, and Keskesi East-1, and subsequently transferred operatorship of Block 58 to Total S.A. on January 1, 2021; however, the Company continued to operate the Keskesi exploration well until completion of drilling operations during the first quarter of 2021.
In connection with the agreement, the Company received $100 million from Total S.A. upon closing in the fourth quarter of 2019 and $79 million upon satisfying certain closing conditions in the first quarter of 2020 for reimbursement of 50 percent of all costs incurred on Block 58 as of December 31, 2019. All proceeds were applied against the carrying value of the Company’s Suriname properties and associated inventory. The Company recognized a $19 million gain in the first quarter of 2020 associated with the transaction.
The Company will also receive various other forms of consideration, including $5 billion of cash carry on the Company’s first $7.5 billion of appraisal and development capital, 25 percent cash carry on all of the Company’s appraisal and development capital beyond the first $7.5 billion, a $75 million cash payment upon achieving first oil production, and future contingent royalty payments from successful joint development projects.
3.    CAPITALIZED EXPLORATORY WELL COSTS
The Company’s capitalized exploratory well costs were $237$389 million and $197$321 million atas of March 31, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, respectively. The increase is primarily attributable to additional drilling activity in Suriname partially offset by dry hole write-offs during the period. and Egypt.
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 proved reserves can be attributed to these projects.
4.    DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
Objectives and Strategies
The Company is exposed to fluctuations in crude oil and natural gas prices on the majority of its worldwide production, as well as fluctuations in exchange rates in connection with transactions denominated in foreign currencies. The Company manages the variability in its cash flows by occasionally entering into derivative transactions on a portion of its crude oil and natural gas production and foreign currency transactions. The Company also utilizes various types of derivative financial instruments, including forward contracts, futures contracts, swaps, and options, to manage fluctuations in cash flows resulting from changes in commodity prices or foreign currency values.
Counterparty Risk
The use of derivative instruments exposes the Company to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparty. To reduce the concentration of exposure to any individual counterparty, the Company utilizes a diversified group of investment-grade rated counterparties, primarily financial institutions, for its derivative transactions. As of March 31, 2021,2022, the Company had derivative positions with 1012 counterparties. The Company monitors counterparty creditworthiness on an ongoing basis; however, it cannot predict sudden changes in counterparties’ creditworthiness. In addition, even if such changes are not sudden, the Company may be limited in its ability to mitigate an increase in counterparty credit risk. Should one of these counterparties not perform, the Company may not realize the benefit of some of its derivative instruments resulting from lower commodity prices or changes in commodity prices, currency exchange rates, or interest rates.

(1)The derivative fair values are based on analysis of each contract on a gross basis, excluding the impact of netting agreements with counterparties.
The fair values of the Company’s derivative instruments and pipeline capacity embedded derivatives are not actively quoted in the open market. The Company primarily uses a market approach to estimate the fair values of these derivatives on a recurring basis, utilizing futures pricing for the underlying positions provided by a reputable third party, a Level 2 fair value measurement.
The fair value of the Preferred Units embedded derivative is calculated using an income approach, a Level 3 fair value measurement. The fair value determination is based on a range of factors, including expected future interest rates using the Black-Karasinski model, Altus’ imputed interest rate, interest rate volatility, the expected timing of periodic cash distributions, the estimated timing for the potential exercise of the exchange option, and anticipated dividend yields of the Preferred Units. As of the March 31, 2021 valuation date, the Company used the forward B-rated Energy Bond Yield curve to develop the following key unobservable inputs used to value this embedded derivative:

A one percent increase in the imputed interest rate assumption would significantly increase the value of the embedded derivative as of March 31, 2021, while a one percent decrease would lead to a similar decrease in value as of March 31, 2021. The assumed expected timing until exercise of the exchange option at March 31, 2021 was 5.20 years.

This is typically implemented through a combination of physical and financial contracts that settle monthly. In January 2021, the Company entered into financial contracts that increased its exposure to “gas daily pricing” and reduced its exposure to “first of month” pricing for February 2021. The Company realized a gain of $147 million in connection with these contracts in the first quarter of 2021 as a result of extreme daily gas price volatility across Texas in February resulting from Winter Storm Uri.

Louisiana Restoration 
As more fully described in Apache Corporation’sthe Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020,2021, Louisiana surface owners often file lawsuits or assert claims against oil and gas companies, including the Company, claiming that operators and working interest owners in the chain of title are liable for environmental damages on the leased premises, including damages measured by the cost of restoration of the leased premises to its original condition, regardless of the value of the underlying property. From time to time, restoration lawsuits and claims are resolved by the Company for amounts that are not material to the Company, while new lawsuits and claims are asserted against the Company. With respect to each of the pending lawsuits and claims, the amount claimed is not currently determinable or is not material. Further, the overall exposure related to these lawsuits and claims is not currently determinable. While adverse judgments against the Company are possible, the Company intends to actively defend these lawsuits and claims.
Starting in November of 2013 and continuing into 2020,2022, several parishes in Louisiana have pending lawsuits against many oil and gas producers, including the Company. These cases were all removed to federal courts in Louisiana. Some of the cases have been remanded to state court with the remand orders being appealed. In these cases, the Parishes, as plaintiffs, allege that defendants’ oil and gas exploration, production, and transportation operations in specified fields were conducted in violation of the State and Local Coastal Resources Management Act of 1978, as amended, and applicable regulations, rules, orders, and ordinances promulgated or adopted thereunder by the Parish or the State of Louisiana. Plaintiffs allege that defendants caused substantial damage to land and water bodies located in the coastal zone of Louisiana. Plaintiffs seek, among other things, unspecified damages for alleged violations of applicable law within the coastal zone, the payment of costs necessary to clear, re-vegetate, detoxify, and otherwise restore the subject coastal zone as near as practicable to its original condition, and actual restoration of the coastal zone to its original condition. While adverse judgments against the Company might be possible, the Company intends to vigorously oppose these claims.

After removal of all such lawsuits to federal court, the district court remanded them back to state court. The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals’ affirmance of this remand decision was appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court. That appeal was decided by the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in a similar case, BP p.l.c. v. Mayor and City Council of Baltimore. As a result, the California cases were sent back to the 9th Circuit for further appellate review of the decision to remand the cases to state court. The 9th Circuit has since, once again, affirmed the district court’s remand to state court.The defendants are appealing this latest remand decision to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Potential Asset RetirementDecommissioning Obligations on Sold Properties
In 2013, the CompanyApache sold its Gulf of Mexico (GOM) Shelf operations and properties (Legacyand its GOM Assets)operating subsidiary, GOM Shelf LLC (GOM Shelf) to Fieldwood Energy LLC (Fieldwood). Under the terms of the purchase agreement, the CompanyApache received cash consideration of $3.75 billion and Fieldwood assumed $1.5 billion of discounted asset abandonment liabilities as of the disposition date.obligation to decommission the properties held by GOM Shelf and the properties acquired from Apache and its other subsidiaries (collectively, the Legacy GOM Assets). In respect of such abandonment liabilities,obligations, Fieldwood posted letters of credit in favor of the CompanyApache (Letters of Credit) and established trust accounts (Trust A and Trust B) of which Apache was a trust account (Trust A),beneficiary and which iswere funded by a 10 percent2 net profits interestinterests (NPIs) depending on future oil prices and of which the Company is the beneficiary.prices. On February 14, 2018, Fieldwood filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. In connection with the 2018 bankruptcy, Fieldwood confirmed a plan under which the CompanyApache agreed, inter alia, to (i) accept bonds in exchange for certain of the Letters of Credit.Credit and (ii) amend the Trust A trust agreement and one of the NPIs to consolidate the trusts into a single Trust (Trust A) funded by both remaining NPIs. Currently, the CompanyApache holds two2 bonds (Bonds) and the remaining5 Letters of Credit to secure Fieldwood’s asset retirement obligations (AROs) on the Legacy GOM Assets as and when such abandonment and decommissioning obligations areApache is required to be performedperform or pay for decommissioning any Legacy GOM Asset over the remaining life of the Legacy GOM Assets.

On August 3, 2020, Fieldwood again filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Fieldwood has submitted aOn June 25, 2021, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (Houston Division) entered an order confirming Fieldwood’s bankruptcy plan. On August 27, 2021, Fieldwood’s bankruptcy plan of reorganization, andbecame effective. Pursuant to the Company has been engaged in discussions with Fieldwood and other interested parties regarding such plan. If approved by the bankruptcy court, the submitted plan, would separate the Legacy GOM Assets were separated into a standalone company, andwhich was subsequently merged into GOM Shelf. Under GOM Shelf’s limited liability company agreement, the proceeds of production of the Legacy GOM Assets will be used forto fund decommissioning of Legacy GOM Assets.
By letter dated April 5, 2022, replacing two prior letters dated September 8, 2021 and February 22, 2022, respectively, GOM Shelf notified the AROs. IfBureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) that it was unable to fund the proceedsdecommissioning obligations that it is currently obligated to perform on certain of production are insufficient forthe Legacy GOM Assets. As a result, Apache and other current and former owners in these assets have received orders from BSEE to decommission certain of the Legacy GOM Assets included in GOM Shelf’s notification to BSEE. Apache expects to receive such AROs, thenorders on the Company expectsother Legacy GOM Assets included in GOM Shelf’s notification letter. Further, Apache anticipates that GOM Shelf may send additional such notices to BSEE in the future and that it may be required by the relevant governmental authoritiesreceive additional orders from BSEE requiring it to performdecommission other Legacy GOM Assets.
If Apache incurs costs to decommission any Legacy GOM Asset and GOM Shelf does not reimburse Apache for such AROs, in which case itcosts, then Apache will applyobtain reimbursement from Trust A, the Bonds, remainingand the Letters of Credit until such funds and Trust A to pay for the AROs.securities are fully utilized. In addition, after such sources have been exhausted, the CompanyApache has agreed to provide a standby loan to GOM Shelf of up to $400 million to perform decommissioning (Standby Loan Agreement), with such standby loan secured by a first and prior lien on the Legacy GOM Assets.
If the foregoingcombination of GOM Shelf’s net cash flow from its producing properties, the Trust A funds, the Bonds, and the remaining Letters of Credit are insufficient to fully fund decommissioning of any Legacy GOM Assets that Apache may be ordered by BSEE to perform, or if GOM Shelf’s net cash flow from its remaining producing properties after the Trust A funds, Bonds, and Letters of Credit are exhausted is insufficient to repay any loans made by Apache under the CompanyStandby Loan Agreement, then Apache may be forced to effectively use its available cash to coverfund the deficit.
As of March 31, 2022, Apache estimates that its potential liability to fund decommissioning of Legacy GOM Assets it may be ordered to perform ranges from $1.2 billion to $1.4 billion on an undiscounted basis. Management does not believe any additionalspecific estimate within this range is a better estimate than any other. Accordingly, the Company has recorded a contingent liability of $1.2 billion as of March 31, 2022, representing the estimated costs of decommissioning it incursmay be required to perform on Legacy GOM Assets. Of the total liability recorded, $1.1 billion is reflected under the caption “Decommissioning contingency for performing such AROs.sold Gulf of Mexico properties,” and $100 million is reflected under “Other current liabilities” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The Company has also recorded a $740 million asset, which represents the amount the Company expects to be reimbursed from the Trust A funds, the Bonds, and the Letters of Credit for decommissioning it may be required to perform on Legacy GOM Assets. Of the total asset recorded, $640 million is reflected under the caption “Decommissioning security for sold Gulf of Mexico properties,” and $100 million is reflected under “Other current assets.” Changes in significant assumptions impacting Apache’s estimated liability, including expected decommissioning rig spread rates, lift boat rates, and planned abandonment logistics could result in a liability in excess of the amount accrued. In addition, significant changes in the market price of oil, gas, and NGLs could further impact Apache’s estimate of its contingent liability to decommission Legacy GOM Assets.
12.    REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTEREST - ALTUS
Preferred Units Issuance
On June 12, 2019, Altus Midstream LP issued and sold Preferred Units for an aggregate issue price of $625 million in a private offering exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act (the Closing). Altus Midstream LP received approximately $611 million in cash proceeds from the sale after deducting transaction costs and discounts to certain purchasers.
Classification
ThePrior to the deconsolidation of Altus on February 22, 2022, at December 31, 2021, the carrying amount of the Preferred Units arewas recorded as “Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest - Altus Preferred Unit Limited Partners” classified as temporary equity on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet based on the terms of the Preferred Units, including the redemption rights with respect thereto.

Measurement
Altus appliesapplied a two-step approach to subsequent measurement of the redeemable noncontrolling interest related to the Preferred Units by first allocating a portion of the net income of Altus Midstream LP in accordance with the terms of the partnership agreement. An additional adjustment to the carrying value of the Preferred Unit redeemable noncontrolling interest at each period end may bewas recorded, if applicable. The amount of such adjustment iswas determined based upon the accreted value method to reflect the passage of time until the Preferred Units arewere exchangeable at the option of the holder. Pursuant to this method, the net transaction price iswas accreted using the effective interest method to the Redemption Price calculated at the seventh anniversary of the Closing. The total adjustment iswas limited to an amount such that the carrying amount of the Preferred Unit redeemable noncontrolling interest at each period end iswas equal to the greater of (a) the sum of (i) the carrying amount of the Preferred Units, plus (ii) the fair value of the embedded derivative liability and (b) the accreted value of the net transaction price.

ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion relates to APA Corporation (APA or the Company) and its consolidated subsidiaries and should be read together with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes included in Part I, Item 1—Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as related information set forth in Apache Corporation’sthe Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements, accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in Apache’sthe Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.2021.
On January 4,March 1, 2021, Apache Corporation announced plans to implementconsummated a holding company reorganization (the Holding Company Reorganization), pursuant to which was thereafter completed on March 1, 2021. In connection with the Holding Company Reorganization, Apache Corporation became a direct, wholly-ownedwholly owned subsidiary of APA Corporation, and all of Apache Corporation’s outstanding shares were automatically converted into equivalent corresponding shares of APA.APA Corporation. Pursuant to the Holding Company Reorganization, APA Corporation became the successor issuer to Apache Corporation pursuant to Rule 12g-3(a) under the Exchange Act and replaced Apache Corporation as the public company trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the ticker symbol “APA.” The holding company structureHolding Company Reorganization modernized the Company’s operating and legal structure to more closely align with its growing international presence, making it more consistent with other companies that have subsidiaries operating around the globe.
Overview
APA is an independent energy company that explores for, develops, and produces natural gas, crude oil, and natural gas liquids (NGLs). The Company’s upstream business currently has exploration and production operations in three geographic areas: the U.S., Egypt, and offshore the U.K. in the North Sea (North Sea). APA also has active exploration and planned appraisal operations ongoing in Suriname, as well as interests in other international locations that may, over time, result in reportable discoveries and development opportunities. APA’sPrior to the BCP Business Combination defined below, the Company’s midstream business iswas operated by Altus Midstream Company (Nasdaq: ALTM)(ALTM) through its subsidiary Altus Midstream LP (collectively, Altus). Altus owns, develops,owned, developed, and operatesoperated a midstream energy asset network in the Permian Basin of West Texas.
APA’s mission isAPA believes energy underpins global progress, and the Company aims to growbe a part of the conversation and solution as society works to meet growing global demand for reliable and affordable energy. Today, the world faces a dual challenge: To meet growing demand for energy and to do so in an innovative, safe, environmentally responsible,a cleaner, more sustainable way. APA believes society can accomplish both and profitable mannerstrives to meet those challenges while creating value for the long-term benefit ofall its stakeholders. APA is focused on rigorous portfolio management, disciplined financial structure, and optimization of returns.
The global economy and the energy industry have been deeply impacted by the effects of the conflict in Ukraine and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and related governmental actions. UncertaintyUncertainties in the global supply chain, commodity prices, and financial markets during 2020 and 2021 continue to impact oil supply and demand.
Despite these uncertainties, the Company remains committed to its longer-term objectives: (1) to maintain a balanced asset portfolio, including advancement of ongoing exploration and appraisal activities offshore Suriname; (2) to invest for long-term returns over production growth; and (3) to budget conservatively to generate cash flow in excess of its upstream exploration, appraisal, and development capital program that can be directed on a priority basis to debt reduction.reduction, share repurchases, and other return of capital to its stakeholders. The Company continues to aggressively manage its cost structure regardless of the oil price environment and closely monitors hydrocarbon pricing fundamentals to reallocate capital as part of its ongoing planning process. For additional detail on the Company’s forward capital investment outlook, refer to “Capital Resources and Liquidity” below.
In the first quarter of 2021,2022, the Company reported net income attributable to common stock of $1.9 billion, or $5.43 per diluted share, compared to net income of $388 million, or $1.02 per diluted common share, compared to a loss of $4.5 billion, or $11.86 per common share, in the first quarter of 2020. The increase2021. Net income for the first quarter of 2022 benefited from higher revenue attributable to a new merged concession agreement in net income compared to the prior-year period is primarily the result ofEgypt, significantly improved commodity prices, that had collapsedand a gain of $1.2 billion associated with asset divestitures. The increase in realized prices was primarily driven by effects of the prior year when the COVID-19 pandemic began to negatively affectconflict in Ukraine on global commodity prices, uncertainties around spare capacity and energy security globally, and increased economic activity and the oil markets. Included in the prior year reported net income was $4.5 billion of asset impairments recognized in the first quarter of 2020. In responsecompared to lower commodity prices, the Company materially reduced its upstream capital investment budget and drilling activity during the first quarter of 2020. Daily production decreased 18 percent from an average of 468 Mboe/d in the first quarter of 2020 to an average of 382 Mboe/d in the first quarter of 2021.
The Company generated $671$891 million of cash from operating activities during the first three months of 2021,2022, a 3433 percent increase from the first three months of 20202021, driven by higher revenue attributable to the new merged concession agreement in Egypt and higher commodity pricesprices. Since year-end 2021, the Company has reduced its total outstanding debt and associated revenues.redeemable preferred interests by $1.6 billion and $712 million, respectively, through the deconsolidation of ALTM and the retirement of outstanding notes and debentures. The Company endedalso repurchased 7.2 million shares of its common stock for $261 million during the quarter with $538quarter. The Company had $234 million of cash.cash on hand at March 31, 2022.
2628


Following this progress and considering the ongoing constructive price environment, the Company remains committed to its capital return framework established in the prior year for equity holders to participate more directly and materially in cash returns.
The Company believes returning 60 percent of cash flow over capital investment creates a good balance for providing near-term cash returns to shareholders while still recognizing the importance of longer-term balance sheet strengthening.
The Company’s quarterly dividend was increased in the third quarter of 2021 from $0.025 per share to $0.0625 per share and, in the fourth quarter of 2021 further increased to $0.125 per share.
Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2021 and through the end of the first quarter of 2022, the Company has repurchased 38.4 million shares of the Company’s common stock. As of March 31, 2022, the Company had remaining authorization to repurchase up to 41.6 million shares under the Company’s share repurchase programs.
The Company does not anticipate any significant changes to the activity levels set forth in its three-year capital investment program or capital return framework in the context of higher strip oil and gas prices, remaining committed to safe, steady, and efficient operations across all assets and returning free cash flow to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases.
Operational Highlights

The Company averaged three rigs in the U.S. during the quarter and completion activity for most of 2020, the Companyhas recently re-activated oneadded a fourth rig in the Permian BasinDelaware Basin. The Company anticipates that the current level of activity will enable it to return U.S. oil production to a modest rate of growth by the second half of 2022.
On February 22, 2022, ALTM closed a previously announced transaction to combine with privately owned BCP Raptor Holdco LP (BCP and, one rigtogether with BCP Raptor Holdco GP, LLC, the Contributed Entities) in an all-stock transaction, pursuant to the Contribution Agreement entered into by and among ALTM, Altus Midstream LP, New BCP Raptor Holdco, LLC (the Contributor), and BCP (the BCP Contribution Agreement). Upon closing the transaction, the combined entity was renamed Kinetik Holdings Inc. (Kinetik). As consideration for the contribution of the Contributed Interests, ALTM issued 50 million shares of Class C Common Stock (and Altus Midstream LP issued a corresponding number of common units) to BCP’s unitholders.
ALTM’s stockholders continued to hold their existing shares of ALTM Common Stock. Apache Midstream LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of APA, which owned approximately 79 percent of the issued and outstanding shares of ALTM Common Stock prior to the BCP Business Combination, owned approximately 20 percent of the issued and outstanding shares of ALTM Common Stock after the transaction closed. The Company deconsolidated ALTM upon closing the transaction and recognized a gain of approximately $609 million that reflects the difference of the Company’s share of ALTM’s deconsolidated balance sheet and the fair value of its 20 percent retained ownership in the Austin Chalk. combined entity.

First quarter 2022 gross equivalent production in the Company’s Egypt assets decreased 201 percent from the first quarter of 2020, given reduced drilling activity over2021, while net production increased 26 percent, primarily a function of improved cost recovery under the preceding year. The Company averaged five rigs in Egypt, and six wells came online duringnew merged concession agreement ratified at the first quarterend of 2021. The Company continues to build and enhance its drilling inventory in Egypt, supplemented with recent seismic acquisitions and new play concept evaluations on both new and existing acreage. The Company plans to increase drilling and workover activity as a result of the merged concession agreement.
The Company recently announced it has reached an agreementaveraged one rig in principle with Egypt’s Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources (MOP) and the Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation (EGPC) in support of the MOP’s efforts to modernize the country’s petroleum sector. The changes simplify the contractual relationship with EGPC and include provisions to create a single cost recovery pool, adjust cost oil and gas and profit oil and gas participation, facilitate recovery of prior investment, update day-to-day operational governance, and refresh the term length of both exploration and development leases. The Apache entity that will become the sole contractor is owned two-thirds by Apache and one-third by Sinopec. The new production sharing contract is subject to certain approvals within the Government of Egypt and ratification by Parliament.

During the first quarter of 2020,2021, the Company’s effective income tax rate was primarily impacted by oil and gas impairments, a goodwill impairment, and an increasedecrease in the amount of valuation allowance against its U.S. deferred tax assets.
The Company recorded a full valuation allowance against its U.S. net deferred tax assets. The Company will continue to maintain a full valuation allowance on its U.S. net deferred tax assets until there is sufficient evidence to support the reversal of all or some portion of this allowance.
The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income or capital taxes in various state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company’s tax reserves are related to tax years that may be subject to examination by the relevant taxing authority. The Company is currently under audit by the Internal Revenue Service for the 2014-2017 tax years and is also under audit in various states and foreign jurisdictions as part of its normal course of business.

Capital Resources and Liquidity
Operating cash flows are the Company’s primary source of liquidity. The Company’s short-term and long-term operating cash flows both in the short-term and the long-term, are impacted by highly volatile oil and natural gascommodity prices, as well as production costs and sales volumes. Significant changes in commodity prices impact APA’sthe Company’s revenues, earnings, and cash flows. These changesSignificant commodity price decreases potentially impact APA’sthe Company’s liquidity if costs do not trend with related 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.
APA’sThe Company’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 APA’sthe Company’s drilling program and its ability to add reserves economically. Changes in commodity prices also impact estimated quantities of proved reserves.
The Company’s capital investment for the first quarter of 20212022 was slightly below its planned budget announced earlier in 2021, butthe year as some activity shifted to later in the year, and the Company remains on-track forexpects its full year guidance andfull-year estimated upstream capital program of $1.1to be approximately $1.7 billion. The program consists of approximately $900 million for development activities across its portfolio and approximately $200 million for exploration, predominantly in Suriname.This is nearly 8 percent higher than previous guidance, primarily on increased Suriname drilling activity.
The Company believes theits available liquidity and capital resource alternatives, available to the Company, combined with proactive measures to adjust its capital budget to reflect volatile commodity prices and anticipated operating cash flows, will be adequate to fund short-term and long-term operations, including APA’sthe Company’s capital development program, repayment of debt maturities, payment of dividends, share buy-back activity, and any amountamounts that may ultimately be paid in connection with commitments and contingencies.
33


The Company may also elect to utilize available cash on hand, committed subsidiary borrowing capacity, access to both debt and equity capital markets, or proceeds from the sale of nonstrategic assets for all other liquidity and capital resource needs. As such, the Company believes it has sufficient resources to satisfy cash requirements over the next twelve months and beyond.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities Operating cash flows are the Company’s primary source of capital and liquidity and are impacted, both in the short term and the long term, by volatile crude oil and natural gascommodity prices. The factors that determine operating cash flows 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.
Net cash provided by operating activities increased $169$220 million from the first quarterthree months of 2020,2021, primarily due to higher commodity prices.prices and associated revenues, partially offset by changes in working capital.
For a detailed discussion of commodity prices, production, and operating expenses, refer to “Results of Operations” in 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, refer to the Statementstatement of Consolidated Cash Flowsconsolidated cash flows in the Consolidated Financial Statements set forth in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Proceeds from Altus Credit Facility, Net The initial construction of Altus’ gathering and processing assets and the exercise of its pipeline options for its equity interests in theassociated equity method interest pipelines has historicallyin early 2021 required capital expenditures in excess of Altus’ cash on hand and operational cash flows. During the first three months of 2021, and 2020, Altus Midstream LP borrowed $33 million and $72 million, respectively, under its revolving credit facility. Withfacility to meet this shortfall. Prior to the midstream infrastructure complete and alldeconsolidation of the equity method interest pipelines nowAltus on February 22, 2022, there were no additional borrowings under this facility in service, the Company anticipates that Altus’ existing capital resources will be sufficient to fund its continuing obligations and planned dividend program during 2021.2022.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements The Company enters into customary agreements in the oil and gas industry for drilling rig commitments, firm transportation agreements, and other obligations as described in “Contractual Obligations” in Part II, Item 7 of Apache Corporation’sAPA’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.2021. There have been no material changes to the contractual obligations described therein.
Potential Asset RetirementDecommissioning Obligations on Sold Properties
The Company hasCompany’s subsidiaries have potential exposure to future obligations related to divested properties. ApacheThe Company has divested various leases, wells, and facilities located in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) where the purchasers typically assume all obligations to plug, abandon, and decommission the associated wells, structures, and facilities acquired. One or more of the counterparties in these transactions could, either as a result of the severe decline in oil and natural gas prices or other factors related to the historical or future operations of their respective businesses, face financial problems that may have a significant impact on their solvency and ability to continue as a going concern. If a purchaser of the Company’ssuch GOM assets becomes the subject of a case or proceeding under relevant insolvency laws or otherwise fails to perform required abandonment obligations, APAAPA’s subsidiaries could be required to perform such actions under applicable federal laws and regulations. In such event, APAsuch subsidiaries may be forced to use available cash to cover the costs of such liabilities and obligations should they arise.
In 2013, the CompanyApache sold its GOM Shelf operations and properties (Legacyand its GOM Assets)operating subsidiary, GOM Shelf LLC (GOM Shelf) to Fieldwood Energy LLC (Fieldwood). Under the terms of the purchase agreement, the CompanyApache received cash consideration of $3.75 billion and Fieldwood assumed $1.5 billion of discounted asset abandonment liabilities as of the disposition date.obligation to decommission the properties held by GOM Shelf and the properties acquired from Apache and its other subsidiaries (collectively, the Legacy GOM Assets). In respect of such abandonment liabilities,obligations, Fieldwood posted letters of credit in favor of the CompanyApache (Letters of Credit) and established trust accounts (Trust A and Trust B) of which Apache was a trust account (Trust A),beneficiary and which iswere funded by a 10 percenttwo net profits interestinterests (NPIs) depending on future oil prices and of which the Company is the beneficiary.prices. On February 14, 2018, Fieldwood filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. In connection with the 2018 bankruptcy, Fieldwood confirmed a plan under which the CompanyApache agreed, inter alia, to (i) accept bonds in exchange for certain of the Letters of Credit.Credit and (ii) amend the Trust A trust agreement and one of the NPIs to consolidate the trusts into a single Trust (Trust A) funded by both remaining NPIs. Currently, the CompanyApache holds two bonds (Bonds) and the remainingfive Letters of Credit backed by investment-grade counterparties to secure Fieldwood’s asset retirement obligations (AROs) on the Legacy GOM Assets as and when such abandonment and decommissioning obligations areApache is required to be performedperform or pay for decommissioning any Legacy GOM Asset over the remaining life of the Legacy GOM Assets.
On August 3, 2020, Fieldwood again filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Fieldwood has submitted aOn June 25, 2021, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (Houston Division) entered an order confirming Fieldwood’s bankruptcy plan.

Pursuant to the Company has been engaged in discussions with Fieldwood and other interested parties regarding such plan. If approved by the bankruptcy court, the submitted plan, would separate the Legacy GOM Assets were separated into a standalone company, andwhich was subsequently merged into GOM Shelf. Under GOM Shelf’s limited liability company agreement, the proceeds of production of the Legacy GOM Assets will be used forto fund decommissioning of Legacy GOM Assets.

By letter dated April 5, 2022, replacing two prior letters dated September 8, 2021 and February 22, 2022, respectively, GOM Shelf notified the AROs. IfBureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) that it was unable to fund the proceedsdecommissioning obligations that it is currently required to perform on certain of production are insufficient forthe Legacy GOM Assets. As a result, Apache and other current and former owners in these assets have received orders from BSEE to decommission certain of the Legacy GOM Assets included in GOM Shelf’s notification to BSEE. Apache expects to receive such AROs, thenorders on the Company expectsother Legacy GOM Assets included in GOM Shelf’s notification letter. Further, Apache anticipates that GOM Shelf may send additional such notices to BSEE in the future and that it may be required by the relevant governmental authoritiesreceive additional orders from BSEE requiring it to performdecommission other Legacy GOM Assets.
If Apache incurs costs to decommission any Legacy GOM Asset and GOM Shelf does not reimburse Apache for such AROs, in which case itcosts, then Apache will applyobtain reimbursement from Trust A, the Bonds, remainingand the Letters of Credit until such funds and Trust A to pay for the AROs.securities are fully utilized. In addition, after such sources have been exhausted, the CompanyApache has agreed to provide a standby loan to GOM Shelf of up to $400 million to perform decommissioning (Standby Loan Agreement), with such standby loan secured by a first and prior lien on the Legacy GOM assets. Assets.
If the foregoingcombination of GOM Shelf’s net cash flow from its producing properties, the Trust A funds, the Bonds, and the remaining Letters of Credit are insufficient to fully fund decommissioning of any Legacy GOM Assets that Apache may be ordered by BSEE to perform, or if GOM Shelf’s net cash flow from its remaining producing properties after the Trust A funds, Bonds, and Letters of Credit are exhausted is insufficient to repay any loans made by Apache under the CompanyStandby Loan Agreement, then Apache may be forced to effectively use its available cash to coverfund the deficit.
As of March 31, 2022, Apache estimates that its potential liability to fund decommissioning of Legacy GOM Assets it may be ordered to perform ranges from $1.2 billion to $1.4 billion on an undiscounted basis. Management does not believe any additionalspecific estimate within this range is a better estimate than any other. Accordingly, the Company has recorded a contingent liability of $1.2 billion as of March 31, 2022, representing the estimated costs of decommissioning it incursmay be required to perform on Legacy GOM Assets. Of the total liability recorded, $1.1 billion is reflected under the caption “Decommissioning contingency for performingsold Gulf of Mexico properties,” and $100 million is reflected under “Other current liabilities” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The Company has also recorded a $740 million asset, which represents the amount the Company expects to be reimbursed from the Trust A funds, the Bonds, and the Letters of Credit for decommissioning it may be required to perform on Legacy GOM Assets. Of the total asset recorded, $640 million is reflected under the caption “Decommissioning security for sold Gulf of Mexico properties,” and $100 million is reflected under “Other current assets.” Changes in significant assumptions impacting Apache’s estimated liability, including expected decommissioning rig spread rates, lift boat rates, and planned abandonment logistics could result in a liability in excess of the amount accrued. In addition, significant changes in the market price of oil, gas, and NGLs could further impact Apache’s estimate of its contingent liability to decommission Legacy GOM Assets.
Critical Accounting Estimates

The Company prepares its financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., which require management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect reported amounts in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. The Company identifies certain accounting policies involving estimation as critical accounting estimates based on, among other things, their impact on the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity, as well as the degree of difficulty, subjectivity, and complexity in their deployment. Critical accounting estimates address accounting matters that are inherently uncertain due to unknown future resolution of such AROs.matters. Management routinely discusses the development, selection, and disclosure of each critical accounting estimate.

ITEM 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Commodity Price Risk
The Company’s revenues, earnings, cash flow, capital investments and, ultimately, future rate of growth are highly dependent on the prices the Company receives for its 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. These factors have only been heightened as uncertainties in the result of continuing negative demand implications ofcommodity and financial markets associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, became more apparent.the conflict in Ukraine, and other current events continue to impact oil and gas supply and demand. The Company continually monitors its market risk exposure, including the impact and developments related to the COVID-19 pandemic, which introduced significant volatility in the financial markets subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2019.exposure.
The Company’s average crude oil price realizations increased 2368 percent from $48.31$59.62 per barrel to $59.62$100.23 per barrel during the first quarterquarters of 20202021 and 2021,2022, respectively. The Company’s average natural gas price realizations increased 18214 percent from $1.47$4.14 per Mcf to $4.14$4.70 per Mcf during the first quarters of 20202021 and 2021,2022, respectively. The Company’s average NGL price realizations increased 12661 percent from $10.51$23.79 per barrel to $23.79$38.33 per barrel during the first quarterquarters of 20202021 and 2021,2022, respectively. Based on average daily production for the first quarter of 2021,2022, a $1.00 per barrel change in the weighted average realized oil price would have increased or decreased revenues for the quarter by approximately $17 million, a $0.10 per Mcf change in the weighted average realized price of natural gas price would have increased or decreased revenues for the quarter by approximately $8 million, and a $1.00 per barrel change in the weighted average realized NGL price would have increased or decreased revenues for the quarter by approximately $5$6 million.

The Company periodically enters into derivative positions on a portion of its projected crude 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. Such derivative positions may include the use of futures contracts, swaps, and/or options. The Company does not hold or issue derivative instruments for trading purposes. As of March 31, 2021,2022, the Company had open natural gas derivatives not designated as cash flow hedges in an asseta liability position with a fair value of $14$34 million. A 10 percent increase in gas prices would decreaseincrease the assetliability by approximately $1$7 million, while a 10 percent decrease in prices would increasedecrease the assetliability by approximately $1 million. As of March 31, 2021, the Company had open oil derivatives not designated as cash flow hedges in an asset position with a fair value of $24 million. A 10 percent increase in oil prices would move the derivatives to a liability position of $85 million, while a 10 percent decrease in prices would increase the asset to approximately $133$7 million. These fair value changes assume volatility based on prevailing market parameters atas of March 31, 2021.2022. Refer to Note 4—Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements set forth in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for notional volumes and terms with the Company’s derivative contracts.
Interest Rate Risk
AtAs of March 31, 2021,2022, the Company had $5.0 billion, net, in outstanding notes and debentures, totaled $8.0 billion, net, all of which was fixed-rate debt, with a weighted average interest rate of 4.985.25 percent. Although near-term changes in interest rates may affect the fair value of fixed-rate debt, such changes do not expose the Company to the risk of earnings or cash flow loss associated with that debt. The Company is also exposed to interest rate risk related to its interest-bearing cash and cash equivalents balances and amounts outstanding under the indentures and credit facilities, and commercial paper program.facilities. As of March 31, 2021,2022, the Company’sCompany had approximately $234 million in cash and cash equivalents, totaled approximately $538 million, approximately 4721 percent of which was invested in money market funds and short-term investments with major financial institutions. As of March 31, 2021,2022, there were $880 million of borrowings outstanding under the Apache Corporation and Altus Midstream LP had outstanding borrowings of $65 million and $657 million, respectively, under their respective revolving credit facilities. A change in the interest rate applicable to short-term investments and credit facility borrowings would have an immaterial impact on earnings and cash flows but could impact interest costs associated with future debt issuances or any future borrowings.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
The Company’s cash activities relating to certain international operations is based on the U.S. dollar equivalent of cash flows measured in foreign currencies. The Company’s North Sea production is sold under U.S. dollar contracts, andwhile the majority of costs incurred are paid in British pounds. InThe Company’s Egypt substantially all oil and gas production is primarily sold under U.S. dollar contracts, and the majority of the costs incurred are denominated in U.S. dollars. Transactions denominated in British pounds are converted to U.S. dollar equivalents based on the 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. CurrencyForeign currency gains and losses are included as either a component of “Other” under “Revenues and Other” or, as is the case when the Company re-measures its foreign tax liabilities, as a component of the Company’s provision for income tax expense on the statement of consolidated operations. AExcluding the impacts of the foreign exchange contracts discussed below, foreign currency net gain or loss of $5$0.1 million would result from a 10 percent weakening or strengthening, respectively, in the British pound as of March 31, 2021.2022.
The Company is subject to increased foreign currency risk associated with the effects of the U.K.’s withdrawal from the European Union.

The Company has periodically entered into foreign exchange contracts in order to minimize the impact of fluctuating exchange rates for the British pound on the Company’s operating expenses. TheAs of March 31, 2022, the Company had no outstanding foreign exchange derivative contracts with a total notional amount of £135 million that are used to reduce its exposure to fluctuating foreign exchange rates for the British pound. A 10 percent strengthening of the British pound against the U.S. dollar would result in a foreign currency net gain associated with these contracts of $11 million, while a 10 percent weakening of the British pound against the U.S. dollar would result in a loss of $15 million as of March 31, 2021.2022.

RISKS RELATED TO THE COMPANY’S HOLDING COMPANY STRUCTURE
The Company is dependent on the operations and funds of its subsidiaries, including Apache.
The Company has no business operations of its own, and the Company’s only significant assets are the outstanding equity interests of its subsidiaries, including Apache. As a result, the Company relies on cash flows from its subsidiaries, including Apache, to pay dividends with respect to its common stock and to meet its financial obligations, including to service any debt obligations that the Company may incur from time to time in the future. Legal and contractual restrictions in agreements governing future indebtedness of any of the Company’s subsidiaries, as well as the financial condition and future operating requirements of any such subsidiaries, in each case, including Apache, may limit such subsidiaries’ ability to distribute cash to the Company. If Apache or any of the Company’s other subsidiaries is limited in its ability to distribute cash to the Company, or if the earnings or other available assets of the Company’s subsidiaries are not sufficient to pay distributions or make loans to the Company in the amounts or at the times necessary for the Company to pay dividends with respect to its common stock and/or to meet its financial obligations, then the Company’s business, financial condition, cash flows, results of operations, and reputation may be materially adversely affected.
