                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Unaudited)



The financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company,
without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, and reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim
periods, on a basis consistent with the annual audited 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 generally accepted accounting principles have been
omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes
that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not
misleading.  These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and the summary of significant accounting policies and
notes thereto included in the Company's latest annual report on Form 10-K.

INCOME TAXES

Under the liability method specified by Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109, deferred taxes are determined based on the estimated future
tax effect of differences between the financial statement and tax bases of
assets and liabilities given the provisions of enacted laws.

INCOME PER SHARE

Primary income per common share was calculated by dividing net income by the
weighted average common shares outstanding.  The effect of common stock
equivalents, including shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options
(calculated using the treasury stock method) and upon the assumed conversion of
the Company's 3.93 percent convertible notes, was not significant or was
anti-dilutive for all periods presented.

SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURE OF CASH FLOW INFORMATION

The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  These investments are
carried at cost which approximates market.

The following table provides additional disclosure of cash payments (in
thousands):

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


Financial Results

Apache reported net income of $10.2 million, or $.17 per share, for the second
quarter of 1994 compared to $11.5 million, or $.22 per share, for the same
period last year.  Net income for the second quarter of 1994 included a $.02
per share gain on the sale of stock in another company.  The primary factors
that contributed to lower earnings were a $2.56 per barrel decline in oil
prices and a $.12 per Mcf decline in natural gas prices from a year ago.

Earnings for the first six months of 1994 totaled $19.6 million, or $.32 per
share, compared to $23.1 million, or $.46 per share, during the first half of
1993.  Lower oil prices from a year ago more than offset the impact of
increased oil and gas production.

The Company's 1994 financial performance was impacted by the following items.

Oil Prices -

      While posted oil prices showed improvement during the second quarter of
      1994, the Company's average realized prices for the quarter and first
      half were down 14 percent and 22 percent, respectively, from the
      comparable periods in 1993.  The price declines, after considering
      amortization expense and income taxes, negatively impacted Apache's
      second quarter and first half earnings by $.10 per share and $.21 per
      share, respectively.

Acquisitions -

      During the second half of 1993, Apache purchased substantially all of
      Hall-Houston Oil Company's (Hall-Houston) producing properties in the
      Gulf of Mexico for $84.4 million and acquired Hadson Energy Resources
      Corporation (HERC) for approximately $98 million.  In June 1993, Apache
      purchased Hall-Houston's interest in Mustang Island 787 and 805 for $29.3
      million.  The Hall-Houston and HERC acquisitions combined to increase
      Apache's first half oil and gas production by approximately 4.3 thousand
      barrels per day (MBopd) and 65 million cubic feet per day (MMcfd),
      respectively.  Apache spent approximately $27 million to acquire oil and
      gas properties during the first half of 1994.

Drilling and Recompletions -

      Apache's active drilling and recompletion program contributed
      significantly to the Company's increase in production from a year ago.
      Drilling in the Gulf of Mexico boosted first half gas production by 50
      MMcfd, while drilling and recompletions in the Permian Basin added more
      than 17 MMcfd.  The increased production from acquisitions and drilling
      mitigated the impact of lower oil prices realized in 1994.

Oil and gas production revenues for the second quarter and first half of 1994
increased over the prior year by 17 percent and 15 percent, respectively,
mainly due to record gas production and higher oil production.

Record production, as a result of successful acquisition and drilling efforts,
boosted second quarter gas sales to $70.1 million.  Gas sales for the second
quarter of 1994 rose $20.6 million, or 42 percent, from the same period last
year.  Acquisitions added more than 68 MMcfd to Apache's second quarter gas
production for a record 406.6 MMcfd. Developmental drilling and recompletions
in the Gulf of Mexico and the Permian Basin increased total gas production by
71 MMcfd.  Apache's natural gas price declined six percent from second quarter
1993 to $1.89 per Mcf, negatively impacting 1994 sales by $4.1 million.

Gas sales rose 46 percent to $142.9 million for the six month period of 1994,
compared to $98 million in 1993.  Apache produced 396.8 MMcfd during the first
half of the year, up from 271.1 MMcfd for the same period of 1993.  The
Company's realized gas price of $1.99 per Mcf during the first half of 1994 was
$.01 per Mcf lower than last year's price of $2.00 per Mcf during the same
period.

Oil sales of $51.1 million for the 1994 second quarter were $2.7 million, or
five percent, lower than the previous year as a result of lower oil prices.
Apache's average oil price declined from $18.51 in the second quarter of 1993
to $15.95 in the current period.  The $2.56 decline in oil price negatively
impacted 1994 sales by $8.2 million, as compared to 1993.  Oil production
increased 3,245 barrels per day (Bopd), rising to 35,202 Bopd for the second
quarter of 1994. The higher production, driven by the HERC and Hall-Houston
acquisitions, offset $5.5 million of the sales decline attributable to lower
oil prices.

For the first six months of 1994, oil sales decreased 14 percent to $91.1
million compared to $105.6 million for the same period a year ago.  In the
first half of 1994, oil production rose 10 percent to 34,926 Bopd compared to
31,590 Bopd last year.  Apache's realized oil price of $14.42 per barrel for
the first six months of 1994 was $4.05 per barrel below the 1993 price of
$18.47 per barrel, negatively impacting sales by $25.6 million.





                                       8

Revenues from the sale of natural gas liquids and sulphur totaled $1.6 million
for the second quarter and $2.9 million for first half of 1994.  Lower natural
gas liquids prices contributed to the $.2 million and $.4 million declines,
respectively, as lower crude oil prices depressed gas liquids prices.

During the second quarter, Apache sold 1.6 million shares of stock held for
investment for $2.3 million, resulting in a pre-tax gain of $1.5 million.

Gathering, processing and marketing revenues of $10.5 million for the second
quarter and $17.3 million for the first half of 1994 were 76 percent and 44
percent, respectively, higher than last year's revenues.  Operating margins
increased $.8 million from the second quarter of 1993 and $.3 million from the
first six months, respectively, primarily due to increased crude oil marketing
activity.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization (DD&A) expense of $58.1 million for
the second quarter of 1994 and $109.4 million for the first half of the year,
increased 45 percent and 39 percent, respectively, over the comparable 1993
periods.  DD&A expense for domestic oil and gas properties rose as a result of
the increase in oil and gas sales and an increase in Apache's domestic
amortization rate, expressed as a percentage of sales.  The increase in the
DD&A rate is a function of lower oil prices and reserve replacement costs, on
an energy equivalency basis, in excess of the historical average.  Part of the
cost increase is attributable to reserve additions for offshore properties.
Incurring higher costs for offshore reserves reflects Apache's expectations of
more rapid payouts associated with generally shorter reserve lives found in
Gulf of Mexico properties.

Operating costs rose $2.8 million, or nine percent to $33 million for the
quarter and $6.7 million, or 11 percent, to $66.2 million year-to-date from the
comparable periods last year due primarily to the impact of the acquisitions.
Operating costs include lifting costs, workover expense, production taxes and
severance taxes.  Based on an equivalent unit of production, operating costs
declined 18 percent in the second quarter of 1994 and 15 percent in the first
half period to $3.52 per barrel of oil equivalent (Boe) and $3.62 per Boe,
respectively.  The unit cost decline reflects continued cost savings efforts
and the addition of offshore properties which are not subject to production
taxes and traditionally have lower unit lifting costs.

Administrative, selling and other costs rose $1.2 million, or 15 percent, in
the second quarter of 1994 from a year ago, while dropping 14 percent on a Boe
basis. Costs increased $1 million, or six percent, in the first half of the
year compared to last year, while dropping 19 percent on an Boe basis.  Apache
acquired HERC and the Hall-Houston properties with minimal increases in
Apache's administrative staff.

Net financing costs increased 18 percent for the quarter to $7.2 million, yet
dropped slightly in the comparable six month period.  The increase in quarterly
financing costs reflects an increase in total debt of $128 million from March
31, 1993 to June 30, 1994.  While rates have increased slightly in 1994,
Apache's average interest rate for the first half of 1994 decreased more than
100 basis points to 5.4 percent from Apache's average 1993 rate due to the
conversion of the 7 1/2-percent debentures in September 1993.

The year-to-date provision for income taxes in 1993 includes a $1 million
benefit resulting from the Company's adoption of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109 which reduced Apache's deferred tax liability.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Apache's primary needs for cash are for exploration, development and
acquisition of oil and gas properties, repayment of principal and interest on
outstanding debt and payment of dividends.  The Company generally funds its
exploration and development activities through internally generated cash flows.
Apache budgets its capital expenditures based upon projected cash flows and
routinely adjusts its capital expenditures in response to changes in oil and
gas prices and corresponding changes in cash flow.

Expenditures for exploration and development increased to $137.3 million for
the first half of 1994 from $103 million during the comparable period last
year.  In the first





                                       9
   11
six months of 1994, Apache completed 114 of 136 gross domestic wells as
producers, while the Company completed 84 of 115 gross domestic wells as
producers in the first half of 1993.  Apache has been actively drilling in the
Midcontinent region, the Permian Basin, the Gulf of Mexico and the Rocky
Mountain region of the United States. Internationally, the Company continued
with developmental drilling on the Harriet prospect in Australia and a
discovery in the Bohai Bay, People's Republic of China.  Further evaluation is
necessary to determine commercial potential of the discovery offshore China.
International exploration and development expenditures totaled $11.2 million in
the first half of 1994 compared to $7.2 million in 1993.  Apache's annual
expenditures for exploration and development are expected to total
approximately $250 million.

Acquisitions during the first half of 1994 totaled $27 million as compared to
$44.1 million for the same period of 1993.  This year's acquisitions included
$16 million for interests in offshore properties.

Other capital expenditures for the first half of 1994 totaled $4.2 million.
The 1993 expenditures include the purchase of NGC's interest in the western
Oklahoma gas system which was subsequently sold in a transaction discussed
below.

The purchase of HERC stock largely reflects cash payments for HERC common stock
which had not been tendered to Apache as of December 31, 1993.  The purchase of
the remaining shares was accrued as a cost of the HERC acquisition in 1993.

Capital Resources

Apache's primary capital resources are net cash provided by operating
activities, unused borrowing capacity under the Company's revolving bank credit
facility and proceeds from the sale of non-strategic assets.  Net cash provided
by operating activities totaled $119 million for the first half of 1994
compared to $80 million for the same period in 1993.  The 49 percent increase
in cash flows largely reflects increased oil and gas production.

During the second quarter of 1994, Apache amended its bank credit facility,
increasing the amount committed under the revolving portion of the facility
from $400 million to $700 million, subject to borrowing base availability.
Apache's current borrowing base increased from $400 million to $450 million as
a result of the amendment and subsequent borrowing base redetermination.  As of
June 30, 1994, Apache had $328 million outstanding on its bank credit facility.
The $122 million in unused availability and increased commitment is for general
corporate purposes and potential acquisitions.

Also during the second quarter, Apache terminated a bank facility held in the
name of HERC and amended and restated the debt agreement of HERC's wholly-owned
subsidiary, Hadson Energy Limited (HEL).  The HEL amendment provided for a rate
reduction from 1 1/8 percent above the discount rate of U.S. dollar bankers'
acceptances to 5/8 percent above the bankers' acceptance rate.  The initial
borrowing base was established at $25 million, of which $20 million was
outstanding at June 30, 1994.  As with the previous agreement, the HEL credit
facility is not guaranteed by Apache.

Total outstanding long-term debt increased to $527.5 million at June 30, 1994,
up $65.5 million from the end of 1993.  Apache drew on its bank facility to
fund the acquisitions closed during the first six months of 1994, purchase the
HERC shares tendered to Apache in 1994 and fund working capital requirements.

In March 1993, Apache and NGC completed the sale of their respective interests
in a gas gathering system in western Oklahoma.  Apache received gross cash
proceeds of $32.2 million in the transaction, approximately $16.4 million of
which was attributable to NGC's interest in the system.  The sale price
approximated the net book value of the interests sold.

Also in March 1993, Apache completed the public offering of approximately 5.8
million shares of common stock for net proceeds of $131.8 million.  In April
1993, Apache applied the proceeds of the equity offering to repay all
outstanding bank debt under the revolving bank credit.  The debt was redrawn in
subsequent periods to fund acquisitions completed during 1993.

Liquidity

The Company had $16.7 million in cash equivalents on hand at June 30, 1994,
down slightly from the $17.1 million at the end of 1993.  The Company's ratio
of current assets to current liabilities at quarter-end 1994 of .9:1 was
improved from year-end 1993 when the ratio was .7:1.

Management believes that cash on hand, net cash provided by operating
activities and unused available borrowing capacity under the revolving credit
facility of $122 million at June 30, 1994 will be adequate to meet future
liquidity needs for the next two fiscal years, including satisfying the
Company's financial obligations and funding exploration and development
operations and routine acquisitions.

Future Trends

Apache intends to continue increasing production and reserves through drilling
and property acquisitions.  Spot market natural gas prices remain volatile and
continue to behave independent of historical seasonal patterns.  Spot market
oil prices, which are especially vulnerable to complex and unpredictable
political and economic forces, have improved since the end of the first quarter
1994, but are expected to remain volatile.
