APACHE OFFSHORE INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIP
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Apache Offshore Investment Partnership, a Delaware general partnership (the Investment Partnership), was formed on October 31, 1983, consisting of Apache Corporation, a Delaware corporation (Apache or the Managing Partner), as Managing Partner and public investors (the Investing Partners). The Investment Partnership invested its entire capital in Apache Offshore Petroleum Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (the Operating Partnership). The primary business of the Investment Partnership is to serve as the sole limited partner of the Operating Partnership. The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of both the Investment Partnership and the Operating Partnership. The term “Partnership”, as used herein, refers to the Investment Partnership or the Operating Partnership, as the case may be.
These financial statements have been prepared by the Partnership, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). They reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods, on a basis consistent with the annual audited financial statements. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. Certain information, accounting policies, and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Partnership believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, and which contains a summary of the Partnership’s significant accounting policies and other disclosures.
1. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
As of March 31, 2014, the Partnership’s significant accounting policies are consistent with those discussed in Note 2 of its consolidated financial statements contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.
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 and disclosure of contingent 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 estimate of proved oil and gas reserves and related present value estimates of future net cash flow therefrom and asset retirement obligations. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
2. | RECEIVABLE FROM / PAYABLE TO APACHE CORPORATION |
The receivable from/payable to Apache represents the net result of the Investing Partners’ revenue received and expenditure paid on behalf of the Partnership in the current month. Generally, cash in this amount will be paid by Apache to the Partnership or transferred to Apache in the month after the Partnership’s transactions are processed and the net results of operations are determined.
As provided in the Partnership Agreement, as amended (the Amended Partnership Agreement), a first right of presentment valuation was computed during the first quarter of 2014. The per-unit value was determined to be $16,020 based on the valuation date of December 31, 2013. The Partnership will not repurchase any Investing Partner Units (Units) during the first half of 2014 as a result of the Partnership’s limited amount of cash available for discretionary purposes. The Partnership is not in a position to predict how many Units will be presented for repurchase during the remainder of 2014 and cannot, at this time, determine if the Partnership will have sufficient funds available to repurchase any Units. The Partnership has no obligation to purchase any Units presented to the extent it determines that it has insufficient funds for such purchases.

| | | | |
Asset retirement obligation, long-term | | $ | 1,246,629 | |
| | | | |
5. | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS |
Certain assets and liabilities are reported at fair value on a recurring basis in the Partnership’s consolidated balance sheet. As of March 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013, the carrying amounts of the Partnership’s current assets and current liabilities approximated fair value because of the short-term nature or maturity of these instruments.
The Partnership did not use derivative financial instruments or otherwise engage in hedging activities during the three months ended March 31, 2014, and 2013.

ITEM 2 - | | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
This discussion relates to Apache Offshore Investment Partnership (the Partnership) and should be read in conjunction with the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2014, and the period then ended, and accompanying notes included under Part I, Item 1, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as its consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2013, and the year then ended, and the related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, both of which are contained in the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.
The Partnership’s business is participation in oil and gas exploration, development and production activities on federal lease tracts in the Gulf of Mexico, offshore Louisiana and Texas.
Results of Operations
Net Income and Revenue
The Partnership reported net income of $129,231 for the first quarter of 2014, down from $283,574 in the first quarter of 2013. Net income per Investing Partner Unit decreased to $74 per Unit in the first quarter of 2014, down from $184 per Unit in the first quarter of 2013. Lower oil and gas production in 2014 drove the decrease in earnings and net income per Investing Partner Unit from 2013. The lower production reflected Matagorda Island 681/682 being taken off production during the third quarter of 2013 as being uneconomical and significant declines in production at both Ship Shoal 258/259 and North Padre Island 969/976.
Total revenues decreased 29 percent from the first quarter of 2013 to the first quarter of 2014 on lower oil and gas volumes in the first quarter of 2014.
The Partnership’s oil, gas and natural gas liquids (NGL) production volume and price information is summarized in the following table (gas volumes are presented in thousand cubic feet (Mcf) per day):
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | For the Three Months Ended March 31, | |
| | 2014 | | | 2013 | | | Increase (Decrease) | |
Gas volume – Mcf per day | | | 331 | | | | 1,026 | | | | (68 | )% |
Average gas price – per Mcf | | $ | 4.61 | | | $ | 3.55 | | | | 30 | % |
Oil volume – barrels per day | | | 61 | | | | 65 | | | | (6 | )% |
Average oil price – per barrel | | $ | 101.45 | | | $ | 112.22 | | | | (10 | )% |
NGL volume – barrels per day | | | 11 | | | | 12 | | | | (8 | )% |
Average NGL price – per barrel | | $ | 33.39 | | | $ | 33.59 | | | | (1 | )% |
Oil and Gas Sales
Natural gas sales totaled $137,174 in the first quarter of 2014, decreasing $190,968 or 58 percent from the same period in 2013. Natural gas volumes on a per day basis declined 68 percent from the first quarter of 2013, decreasing sales by $288,531. The decline in the Partnership’s production from 2013 was largely attributable to the shut-in of Matagorda Island 681/682 (290 Mcf per day) in August 2013 as uneconomic and declines at Ship Shoal 258/259 (202 Mcf per day) and North Padre Island 969/976 (187 Mcf per day). The Partnership’s average realized natural gas price for the quarter increased $1.06 per Mcf, or 30 percent, from the first quarter of 2013, increasing sales by $97,563 from a year ago and partially offsetting the decline in gas production.
The Partnership’s crude oil sales for the first quarter of 2014 totaled $560,678 compared to $655,841 of crude oil sales in the first quarter of 2013. Primarily as a result of natural depletion at South Timbalier 295, crude oil volumes on a per day basis fell from 65 barrels per day in 2013 to 61 barrels per day in 2014, reducing sales by $32,223. The Partnership’s average realized price in the first quarter of 2014 decreased $10.77 per barrel, or 10 percent, from the first quarter of 2013.
6
During the first quarter of 2014, the Partnership sold 11 barrels per day of natural gas liquids, down from 12 barrels per day during the first quarter of 2013. The decrease reflected a reduction in processed volumes at Ship Shoal 258/259 and South Timbalier 295 from 2013.
Since the Partnership does not anticipate acquiring additional acreage or conducting exploratory drilling on leases in which it currently holds an interest, declines in oil and gas production can be expected in future periods as a result of natural depletion. Also, given the small number of producing wells owned by the Partnership and exposure to inclement weather in the Gulf of Mexico, the Partnership’s production during the remainder of 2014 and beyond may be subject to more volatility than those companies with a larger or more diversified property portfolio.
Operating Expenses
The Partnership’s depreciation, depletion and amortization (DD&A) rate, expressed as a percentage of oil and gas sales, was approximately 20 percent during the first quarter of 2014 and 21 percent during first quarter of 2013. The dollar amount of DD&A expense for first the quarter of 2014 decreased from the comparable periods a year ago as a result of lower oil and gas sales in 2014. The Partnership recognized $32,568 in asset retirement obligation accretion for the first quarter of 2014 compared to $31,718 for the first quarter of 2013.
Lease operating expenses (LOE) for the first quarter of 2014 of $306,758 decreased 16 percent from the first quarter of 2013 on lower workover and repair costs in 2014. LOE for the first quarter of 2013 included repairs on platforms at South Timbalier 295 and Ship Shoal 258/259, and a re-staging of a compressor at Ship Shoal 258/259.
In the first quarter of 2014, gathering and transportation costs for the delivery of oil and gas decreased 29 percent from the same period in 2013 on lower gas volumes. Administrative expense for 2014 decreased three percent for the three-month period ended March 31 compared to the same period in 2013.
Capital Resources and Liquidity
The Partnership’s primary capital resource is net cash provided by operating activities, which was a small net use of funds for the first three months of 2014 compared to a source of $0.3 million during the first three months of 2013. The $34,803 net use of cash by operating activities reflected the payment of $84,817 of abandonment cost during the period while the receipt of revenues were delayed during the transition of operations to Fieldwood Energy LLC (Fieldwood). It is anticipated that Fieldwood will be remitting revenue approximately two months after production while Apache paid oil proceeds during the month of production and generally remitted gas proceeds one month after production.
At March 31, 2014, the Partnership had approximately $4.3 million in cash and cash equivalents, down slightly from December 31, 2013. The Partnership’s goal is to maintain cash and cash equivalents at least sufficient to cover the undiscounted value of its future asset retirement obligation (ARO) liability. The Partnership also plans to reserve funds for recompletion work planned for the second half of 2014 and anticipated repairs which may disrupt the Partnership’s production.
The Partnership’s future financial condition, results of operations and cash from operating activities will largely depend upon prices received for its oil and natural gas production. A substantial portion of the Partnership’s production is sold under market-sensitive contracts. Prices for oil and natural gas are subject to fluctuations in response to changes in supply, market uncertainty and a variety of factors beyond the Partnership’s control. These factors include worldwide political instability (especially in the Middle East), the foreign supply of oil and natural gas, the price of foreign imports, the level of consumer demand, and the price and availability of alternative fuels.
The Partnership’s oil and gas reserves and production will also significantly impact future results of operations and cash from operating activities. The Partnership’s production is subject to fluctuations in response to remaining quantities of oil and gas reserves, weather, pipeline capacity, consumer demand, mechanical performance and workover, recompletion and drilling activities. Declines in oil and gas production can be expected in future years as a result of normal depletion and the non-participation in acquisition or exploration activities by the Partnership. Based on production estimates from independent engineers and current market conditions, the Partnership forecasts it will be able to meet its liquidity needs for routine operations in the foreseeable future. The Partnership will reduce capital expenditures and distributions to partners as cash from operating activities declines.
7
In the event that future short-term operating cash requirements are greater than the Partnership’s financial resources, the Partnership may seek short-term, interest-bearing advances from the Managing Partner as needed. The Managing Partner, however, is not obligated to make loans to the Partnership.
On an ongoing basis, the Partnership reviews the possible sale of lower value properties prior to incurring associated dismantlement and abandonment costs.
Capital Commitments
The Partnership’s primary needs for cash are for operating expenses, drilling and recompletion expenditures, future dismantlement and abandonment costs, distributions to Investing Partners, and the purchase of Units offered by Investing Partners under the right of presentment. To the extent there is discretion, the Partnership allocates available capital to investment in the Partnership’s properties so as to maximize production and resultant cash flow. The Partnership had no outstanding debt or lease commitments at March 31, 2014. The Partnership did not have any contractual obligations as of March 31, 2014, other than the liability for dismantlement and abandonment costs of its oil and gas properties. The Partnership has recorded a separate liability for the present value of this asset retirement obligation as discussed in the notes to the financial statements included in the Partnership’s latest annual report on Form 10-K.
During the first three months of 2014 the Partnership had no outlays for capital expenditures as it did not commence any new drilling or recompletion projects during the period. The Partnership spent approximately $84,817 on abandonment cost at North Padre Island 969/976 during the first quarter of 2014. Based on information supplied by the operators of the properties, the Partnership anticipates capital expenditures of less than $0.2 million for the remainder of 2014 as no new drilling projects are currently planned for 2014. Capital estimates may change based on realized prices, changes by the operator to the development plan, pipeline construction or modifications, or changes in government regulations.
Because of declining oil and gas production and the need to maintain cash reserves for future asset retirement obligations, no distributions were made to Investing Partners during the first three months of 2014. The Partnership also made no distribution to Investing Partners during the first three months of 2013 as a result of the large amount of plugging costs funded in 2013.
The amount of future distributions will be dependent on actual and expected production levels, realized and anticipated oil and gas prices, expected drilling and recompletion expenditures, and prudent cash reserves for future dismantlement and abandonment costs that will be incurred after the Partnership’s reserves are depleted. The Partnership’s goal is to maintain cash and cash equivalents in the Partnership at least sufficient to cover the undiscounted value of its future asset retirement obligations. During the second half of 2014, the Partnership will review available cash balances and the factors noted above to determine whether there are sufficient funds to make a distribution to Investing Partners during the second half of 2014.
As provided in the Amended Partnership Agreement, a first right of presentment valuation was computed during the first quarter of 2014. The per-unit value was determined to be $16,020 based on the valuation date of December 31, 2013. The Partnership will not repurchase any Investing Partner Units (Units) during the first half of 2014 as a result of the Partnership’s limited amount of cash available for discretionary purposes. The Partnership is not in a position to predict how many Units will be presented for repurchase during the remainder of 2014 and cannot, at this time, determine if the Partnership will have sufficient funds available to repurchase any units. Pursuant to the Amended Partnership Agreement, the Partnership has no obligation to repurchase any Units presented to the extent it determines that it has insufficient funds for such purchases.
ITEM 3 – QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Commodity Risk
The Partnership’s major market risk exposure is in the pricing applicable to its oil and gas production. Realized pricing is primarily driven by the prevailing worldwide price for crude oil and spot prices applicable to its natural gas production. Prices received for oil and gas production continue to be volatile and unpredictable. The Partnership has not used derivative financial instruments or otherwise engaged in hedging activities during 2013 or the first three months of 2014.
8
The information set forth under “Commodity Risk” in Item 7A of the Partnership’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, is incorporated by reference. Information about market risks for the current quarter is not materially different.
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.
