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

our commodity hedging arrangements;

the integration of acquisitions;

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

production and reserve levels;

drilling risks;

economic and competitive conditions;

the availability of capital resources;

capital expenditure and other contractual obligations;

currency exchange rates;

weather conditions;

inflation rates;

the availability of goods and services;

legislative or regulatory changes;

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

terrorism or cyber attacks;

occurrence of property acquisitions or divestitures;

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

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

APACHE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

These financial statements have been prepared by Apache Corporation (Apache or the Company) without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). They reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods, on a basis consistent with the annual audited financial statements. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Certain information, accounting policies, and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read along with Apache’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014,2015, which contains a summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies and other disclosures.

The Company’s financial statements for prior periods include reclassifications that were made to conform to the current-period presentation. In March 2014,During the second quarter of 2015, Apache completed the sale of all of its operations in Argentina.Australian LNG business and oil and gas assets. Results of operations and consolidated cash flows for Argentina operationsthe divested Australia assets are reflected as discontinued operations in the Company’s financial statements for all periods presented. For more information regarding this divestiture,these divestitures, please refer to Note 2–2—Acquisitions and Divestitures.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

In the first quarter of 2016, the Company retrospectively adopted a new accounting standard update for all periods presented which requires debt issuance costs to be presented as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. For more information regarding this update, please refer to Note 5—Debt and Financing Costs.

1.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
As of March 31, 2015,2016, Apache’s significant accounting policies are consistent with those discussed in Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the consolidated financial statements contained in Apache’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.

2015.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates with regard to these financial statements include the fair value determination of acquired assets and liabilities, and assets held for sale, the estimate of proved oil and gas reserves and related present value estimates of future net cash flows therefrom, assessingthe assessment of asset retirement obligations, and the estimate of income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Oil and Gas Property

The Company follows the full-cost method of accounting for its oil and gas property. Under this method of accounting, all costs incurred for both successful and unsuccessful exploration and development activities, including salaries, benefits and other internal costs directly identified with these activities, and oil and gas property acquisitions are capitalized. The net book value of oil and gas properties, less related deferred income taxes, may not exceed a calculated “ceiling.” The ceiling limitation is the estimated after-tax future net cash flows from proved oil and gas reserves, discounted at 10 percent per annum and adjusted for designated cash flow hedges. Estimated future net cash flows are calculated using end-of-period costs and an unweighted arithmetic average of commodity prices in effect on the first day of each of the previous 12 months, held flat for the life of the production, except where prices are defined by contractual arrangements. For a discussion of the calculation of estimated future net cash flows, please refer to Note 14—Supplemental Oil and Gas Disclosures to the consolidated financial statements contained in Apache’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.

2015.

Any excess of the net book value of proved oil and gas properties, less related deferred income taxes, over the ceiling is charged to expense and reflected as “Additional depreciation, depletion, and amortization” (DD&A) in the accompanying statement of consolidated operations. Such limitations are imposed separately on a country-by-country basis and are tested quarterly. In the first quarter of 2015, the Company recorded $5.2 billion ($3.4 billion net of tax), $1.4 billion ($1.0 billion net of tax), and $632 million ($316 million net of tax) inThe following tables present non-cash write-downs of the carrying value of the Company’s U.S., Canada, and North Sea proved oil and gas properties respectively.

New Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Adopted

On April 7, 2015,

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2015-03,2016-09, which simplifiesseeks to simplify accounting for share-based payment transactions including income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and the presentationclassification on the statement of debt issuance costs.cash flows. The new standard requires debt issuance coststhe Company to be presented as a direct deduction fromrecognize the carrying valueincome tax effects of the associated debt liability, whereas they are currently being presented as a component of “deferred charges and other” on the balance sheet. The new standard creates consistencyawards in the way debt issuance costs and debt discountsincome statement when the awards vest or are presented on the balance sheet and better aligns U.S. GAAP with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). ASU 2015-03settled. The guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periodsfiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015.2016.  Early adoption is permitted and if an entity early adopts the guidance in an interim period, any adjustments must be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The Company will applyis currently evaluating the change retrospectively and does not expect the adoptionimpact of adopting this amendment to have a material impactstandard on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, a new lease standard requiring lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for most leases classified as operating leases under previous U.S. GAAP. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 with early adoption permitted. The Company will be required to use a modified retrospective approach for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued a joint revenue recognition standard, ASU 2014-09. The new standard removes inconsistencies in existing standards, changes the way companies recognize revenue from contracts with customers, and increases disclosure requirements. The guidance requires companies to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2014-092016-08, which provides further clarification on the principal versus agent evaluation. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, pending a one-year deferral currently under consideration.2017. The standard is required to be adopted using either the full retrospective approach, with all prior periods presented adjusted, or the modified retrospective approach, with a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings on the opening balance sheet. The Company is currently evaluating the level of effort needed to implement the standard, the impact of adopting this standard on its consolidated financial statements, and whether to use the full retrospective approach or the modified retrospective approach.

In connection with classifying these assets to held for sale, a separate impairment analysis was performed for each long-lived asset within the disposal group. The analysis was based on the estimated fair value of the assets in the disposal group, which was equivalent to the allocated purchase price associated with the transaction. The transaction’s purchase price was allocated based on the fair value of each asset in the disposal group. Each asset’s fair value was determined using a combination of the income approach, specifically discounted cash flows, and the cost approach. The income approach considered management views on current operating measures as well as assumptions pertaining to market forces in the oil and gas industry, such as future production, future commodity prices, and costs. These assumptions were applied to develop future cash flow projections that were then discounted to estimate fair value, using a discount rate believed to be consistent with those used by principal market participants. The cost approach reflects the amount that would be required currently to replace the service capacity of an asset (often referred to as current replacement cost) and is typically used to measure the fair value of tangible assets that are used in combination with other assets. Apache has classified these non-recurring fair value measurements as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

In the fourth quarter of 2014, Apacheand no material gain or loss was recognized an impairmentfor the LNG assets upon completion of the sale. No gain or loss was recognized on held for sale assets totaling $1.0 billion ($753 million net of tax). As the sale and purchase agreements provide for Apache’s net expenditures incurred in connection with these projects subsequent to the effective date to be reimbursed by Woodside, the Company has recorded no further loss during the first quarter of 2015.

The upstream oil and natural gas properties associated with this sale are not presented as held for sale pursuant to the rules governing full-cost accounting for oil and gas properties. Approximately $1.4 billion and $500 million of the sale proceeds have been allocated to the Australia and Canada upstream assets, respectively. Proceeds from the dispositionassets. In accordance with full cost accounting rules, sales of oil and gas properties are accounted for as a reduction toadjustments of capitalized costs, unless a significant portion (greater than 25 percent) of the Company’s reserve quantities in a particular country are sold, in which case awith no gain or loss is recognized in income. Upon closingunless such adjustment would significantly alter the transactionrelationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves.

Australia Divestitures
Woodside Sale In April 2015, Apache's subsidiaries completed the sale of its interest in the secondWheatstone LNG project and associated upstream oil and gas assets to Woodside. Proceeds at closing were $2.8 billion, of which approximately $1.4 billion were associated with LNG assets and $1.4 billion were associated with the upstream assets. The proceeds are subject to post-closing adjustments. For additional details related to post-closing adjustments, please see Note 7—Commitments and Contingencies.
The Wheatstone LNG assets were impaired in the fourth quarter of 2015, a2014 and no material gain or loss was recognized on the disposal of the LNG project. A loss of approximately $900$922 million ($600 million net of tax) will bewas recognized foron the sale of the Australian upstream assets that represented approximately 50 percentassets.

The Company’s debt is recorded at the carrying amount, net of related unamortized discount and debt issuance costs, on its consolidated balance sheet. The carrying amount of the Company’s commercial paper, committed bank facilities, and uncommitted bank lines, and overdraft lines approximates fair value because the interest rates are variable and reflective of market rates. Apache uses a market approach to determine the fair value of its notes and debentures using estimates provided by an independent investment financial data services firm (a Level 2 fair value measurement).

Accordingly,
During the first quarter of 2016, Apache’s effective income tax rate was primarily impacted by an increase in the valuation allowances on U.S. and Canadian deferred tax assets. During the first quarter of 2015, Apache’s effective tax rate was primarily impacted by a $619 million discrete deferred tax benefit associated with a reduction in the Company recorded theU.K. statutory income tax effect of the $7.2 billion non-cash write-downs of its U.S., Canada, and North Sea proved oil and gas properties, respectively, offset by an increase in the Canadian valuation allowance, as discrete items.

On March 26, 2015, U.K. Finance Bill 2015 received Royal Assent. Under the enacted legislation, the corporate income tax rate on North Sea oil and gas profits was reduced from 62 percent to 50 percent effective January 1, 2015.

Legal Matters

Apache is party to various legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, including litigation and governmental and regulatory controls. As of March 31, 2015,2016, the Company has an accrued liability of approximately $23$14 million for all legal contingencies that are deemed to be probable of occurring and can be reasonably estimated. Apache’s estimates are based on information known about the matters and its experience in contesting, litigating, and settling similar matters. Although actual amounts could differ from management’s estimate, none of the actions are believed by management to involve future amounts that would be material to Apache’s financial position, results of operations, or liquidity after consideration of recorded accruals. For material matters that Apache believes an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible, the Company has disclosed the nature of the matter and a range of potential exposure, unless an estimate cannot be made at this time. It is management’s opinion that the loss for any other litigation matters and claims that are reasonably possible to occur will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

LNG Divestiture Dispute

In respect of the purchase by Woodside of the Wheatstone and Kitimat LNG projects and accompanying upstream oil and gas reserves from the Company and its subsidiaries, several court proceedings are pending in the Supreme Court of Western Australia (Case Nos. 2315 of 2015, 2798 of 2015, 1504 of 2016, 1520 of 2016, and 1521 of 2016) concerning or arising out of the Wheatstone sale and purchase agreement, including whether certain amounts are due and owing Apache from Woodside and whether certain of Woodside’s purchase price adjustment claims are time-barred. In addition, Woodside is attempting to commence third party expert determination proceedings at the ICC International Centre for ADR in respect of certain aspects of its purchase price adjustment claims. The Company believes that under the terms of the sale and purchase agreements, Woodside’s requests for payment of purchase price adjustments lack merit and further that Woodside must reimburse Apache certain costs relating to Wheatstone and Kitimat; therefore, the Company has not recorded a liability associated with this dispute. No other material change in the status of these matters has occurred since the filing of Apache’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for its 2015 fiscal year.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company has exploration and production interests in five countries: the United States (U.S.), Canada, Egypt, Australia, and the United Kingdom (U.K.) North Sea. Apache also pursues exploration interests in other countries that may over time result in reportable discoveries and development opportunities.

Thisfollowing discussion relates to Apache Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included under Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as our consolidated financial statements, accompanying notes and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our 20142015 fiscal year.

Strategic Overview

The Company’s foundation for future growth is driven by our significant producing asset base Results of operations and large undeveloped acreage positions. This allows for growth through sustainable lower-risk drilling opportunities, balanced by higher-risk, higher-reward exploration. We closely monitor drilling and acquisition cost trends in each of our core areas relative to product prices and, when appropriate, adjust our capital budgets accordingly and allocate funds to projects based on expected value. We do this through a disciplined and focused process that includes analyzing current economic conditions, projected rate of return on internally generated drilling inventories, and opportunities for tactical acquisitions or leasehold purchases that add substantial drilling prospects or, occasionally, provide access to new core areas that could enhance our portfolio.

Over the last five years, Apache has increasingly focused on its North American onshore resource base. Recent drilling successes and acquisitions of acreage positions across North America have built a robust drilling inventoryconsolidated cash flows for our Permian, Gulf Coast, and other onshore regions. We believe that this area is capable of driving our growth and performance over the next several years. As part of this strategy, we also conducted a company-wide review of our portfolio and ourdivested Australia assets are reflected as discontinued operations in all periods presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.


Overview
Apache Corporation, a Delaware corporation formed in 1954, is an effort to best position Apacheindependent energy company that explores for, the long-term benefit of our shareholders. This review has resulted in several key divestitures during the last eighteen months including the recently completed sale of our Kitimatdevelops, and Wheatstone LNG projectsproduces natural gas, crude oil, and the announcement of the sale of substantially all of our operations in Australia, which is expected to close in mid-2015.natural gas liquids. The Company believeshas exploration and production interests in four geographic areas: the resulting portfolio, which includes a significant onshore North America resource base coupled with Brent-linked, free cash flow generating assetsUnited States (U.S.), Canada, Egypt, and offshore the United Kingdom (U.K.) in the North Sea (North Sea). Apache also pursues exploration interests in other areas that may over time result in reportable discoveries and Egypt, provides flexibilitydevelopment opportunities.
The downward pressure on crude oil prices that began in capital allocation and a platform for sustainable growth in a volatile commodity price environment.

The decline in the prices of oil and natural gas at the end oflate 2014 and duringextended throughout 2015 continues to impact 2016 results. Apache’s average realized crude oil prices decreased 34 percent for the quarter from the first quarter of 2015. Additionally, natural gas and natural gas liquids prices are significantly lower than the comparable 2015 was dramatic; however, we believe this environment will provide future growth opportunities for companies that have moved aggressively inperiod. In response to thethese price drop. As we cannot predict the length or depth of this commodity price correction, or the timing and extent of any potential rebound, we moved quickly and decisively regarding certaindeclines, Apache continues to focus on matters within our control: the timing and levels of capital spending, overhead, and lease operating costs.

We significantly reduced capital spending in 2016, with first quarter capital spending decreasing approximately 65 percent from the comparable 2015 period. We will continue to adjust our capital spending in response to future commodity price fluctuations, cost structure. realignments, and forecasted operating cash flows.
We are currently operating only 15 rigs onshorerealizing improved drilling efficiencies and cost reductions in our drilling and completion well costs. For example, in areas in North America butwhere we are preparedactively drilling, average drilling and completion costs on recent wells are down 45 percent compared to ramp-upaverage 2014 well costs.
We continue to monitor total overhead costs with a focus on balancing our operating cost structure with current and expected activity when we believe servicelevels. Last year's organizational changes and steps to streamline our operational structure are allowing us to manage overhead levels and respond appropriately. We continue to make progress on our internal initiatives with a focus on reducing annualized rates.
We have made significant progress reducing lease operating costs, are aligned with the current commodity price environment. We closely monitor commodity prices, service cost levels, regulatory impacts, and numerous other industry factors and routinely adjust our budgets in response to changing market conditions and operating cash flow forecasts.

Financial Highlights

Results for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 include:

Average daily production inwhich on a per-unit basis were 21 percent lower than the first quarter of 2015.
We exited the quarter with $1.0 billion in cash and $3.5 billion in available committed borrowing capacity.
2016 Outlook
Apache remains committed to achieving "cash flow neutrality" in 2016 under our current budget. As planned, we were not cash flow neutral in the first quarter; however, we expect to generate a surplus for the balance of the year. As such, we believe we are on track to exit the year with no significant change in net debt (debt less cash) relative to year-end 2015. In addition, in response to strong performance from our North American assets, we expect less of a production decline from 2015 totaled 601levels than originally expected and have updated our outlook to a decline in the 6 percent to 10 percent range, after adjusting for divestitures and volumes associated with Egypt's noncontrolling interest and taxes.
Operating Highlights
Significant operating activities for the quarter include the following:
Overall
Equivalent production decline from first quarter of 2015 levels was 2 percent, despite a significant reduction in capital investments in 2015 and the first quarter of 2016 when compared to historical levels.
Liquids production for the first quarter of 2016 averaged 342 thousand barrels of oil equivalent (Mboe) compared to 640 Mboe from the comparative 2014 quarter, reflecting divestiture activity during the prior year.

Liquids production for the quarter averaged 373 Mboe/d,per day (Mboe/d), with crude oil representing 8581 percent of total liquids production. Liquids production increased slightlydecreased 3 percent from the prior-yearfirst quarter despiteof 2015.


North America
Onshore equivalent production was down 3 percent for the quarter relative to the 2015 period. This production performance is notable given a significant divestiture activityreduction in North American onshore exploration and development capital spending during 2014.

Oil2015 and gasthe first quarter of 2016.
First quarter equivalent production revenues totaled $1.8 billion, down 50from the Permian Basin region, which accounts for more than half of our total onshore North American production, increased 8 percent from $3.6 billion in the prior-year quarter, reflecting the significant decrease in realized commodity prices and lower production.

For the first quarter of 2015 Apache reported a lossdespite significantly fewer wells placed on production during the first quarter of $4.7 billion, or $12.34 per diluted common share, compared with earnings of $236 million, or $0.60 per diluted share, for2016.
International and Offshore
In Egypt, we averaged 10 rigs and placed 23 wells on production during the prior-year quarter. The loss for the quarter reflects after-tax write-downs of oil and gas properties in the U.S., Canada, and U.K. North Sea totaling $4.7 billion.

Operational Developments

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

North America

North America onshoreGross equivalent production of 307 Mboe/d inincreased 3 percent over the first quarter of 2015, represents 51 percentdriven by an increase of Apache’s total worldwide production for the period.

Apache’s Permian Basin region increased production 6 percent relative to the first quarter of 2014 despite only operating an average of 15 rigs during the current period compared to 39 rigs in the first quarter of 2014. Apache plans to complete the wells drilled during 2015higher margin oil production, which was partially offset by a decline in the normal course of business and continues to work through completing prior-year wells in backlog as service costs are reduced. The Permian represents almostlower margin natural gas production. On a third of Apache’s total liquidsnet basis, equivalent production forgrew 2 percent from the first quarter of 2015.

International

In April 2015, Apache announcedNorth Sea average daily production decreased by 1 percent for the agreement to sell its Australian subsidiary Apache Energy Limited to a consortiumfirst three months of private equity funds managed by Macquarie Capital Group Limited and Brookfield Asset Management Inc. for cash consideration of $2.1 billion. The transaction is expected to close mid-year 2015 and is subject to necessary government and regulatory approvals and customary post-closing adjustments. The effective date of the sale is October 1, 2014.

Also during April 2015, Apache completed the previously disclosed sale of its interest in two LNG projects, Wheatstone LNG in Australia and Kitimat LNG in Canada, along with the associated upstream oil and gas assets, to Woodside Petroleum Limited for total proceeds of approximately $3.7 billion, which includes reimbursement of Apache’s net expenditure in the Wheatstone and Kitimat LNG projects, changes in working capital and other contractual adjustments between the effective date, July 1, 2014, and closing.

During2016 from the first quarter of 2015, Apache reported strong appraisal- and development-drilling resultslast year. This quarter’s production was negatively impacted by downtime from Egypt’s recentunexpected outages on third-party infrastructure, temporarily offsetting the impact of  four successful new oil fields, Berenice and Ptah,wells placed on production in the Western Desert. Three wellsquarter.
Despite the impact of the unplanned third party facility downtime in the Berenice fieldNorth Sea, we believe we are currently producing more than 9,500 barrelson track to achieve our full year International and Offshore production outlook of oil per day (b/d). Up170 to four additional wells are planned during the first phase of development in the Berenice field. In the Ptah field, the discovery well is currently producing 2,350 b/d. A second well started production in March 2015 at a rate of 2,000 b/190 Mboe/d.

Worldwide oil production increased 8.5 thousand barrels of oil per day (Mb/d) from the first quarter of 2014 to 318.1decreased 19.9 Mb/d in the first quarterto 277.3 Mb/d, primarily a result of 2015, primarily from our international operations andreduced drilling activity in response to low commodity prices. Decreases from natural decline were partially offset by new production in the North American onshore regions offsetting recent divestitures. Excluding production from North American assets divested between the periods, worldwide oil production increased 23.8 Mb/d.

gas property carrying values resulting from significant property write-downs incurred in 2015.

Additional DD&A Under the full cost method of accounting, the Company is required to review the carrying value of its proved oil and gas properties each quarter on a country-by-country basis. Under these rules, capitalized costs of oil and gas properties, net of accumulated DD&A and deferred income taxes, may not exceed the present value of estimated future net cash flows from proved oil and gas reserves, net of related tax effects and discounted at 10 percent per annum. Estimated future net cash flows are calculated using end-of-period costs and an unweighted arithmetic average of commodity prices in effect on the first day of each of the previous 12 months, held flat for the life of the production, except where prices are defined by contractual arrangements.

Australia Petroleum Resource Rent Tax (PRRT) is a levy assessed on the sale of hydrocarbons derived from specific developmental areas in Australia. The North Sea Petroleum Revenue Tax (PRT) is assessed on qualifying fields in the U.K. North Sea. For the first quarter of 2015, Australian PRRT and2016, U.K. PRT were $39was $41 million lower than the 20142015 period based onas a decrease inresult of lower revenues from qualifying fields during the first quarter.quarter of 2016, a lower PRT rate, and additional qualifying costs reducing prior-year PRT. Severance tax expense and ad valorem tax expense decreased $43$11 million and $16$8 million, respectively, on lower oil production and oilcommodity prices during the first quarter compared to the prior year period.

On March 24, 2016, the U.K. government released Finance Bill 2016, which provides tax relief to exploration and gas prices.

production (E&P) companies operating in the North Sea. The bill is expected to receive Royal Assent later this year. Under the bill, the U.K. PRT rate will be reduced to zero from the current 35 percent rate and will be effective January 1, 2016. Upon enactment, PRT expense ceases prospectively. As a further result of this change, the Company expects to record a charge of approximately $290 million (after-tax) for PRT benefits that are no longer expected to be realizable from future abandonment activities.

General and Administrative (G&A) Expenses General Despite our continued focus on cost reduction efforts, G&A expense for the quarter was $11 million higher than the first quarter of 2015, which included $14 million in reductions from lower than expected incentive compensation payouts and administrative expenses (G&A)lower stock based compensation expense. Absent these benefits to the first-quarter 2015 G&A, this quarter's G&A expense would have been $3 million lower.
Transaction, Reorganization, and Separation The Company incurred $15 million for the first quarter of 2015 decreased $24 million from the comparable 2014 period on lower incentive and stock-based compensation2016 related to company reorganization costs.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

Operating cash flows are the Company’s primary source of liquidity. We may also elect to utilize available committed borrowing capacity, access to both debt and equity capital markets, or proceeds from the sale of nonstrategic assets for all other liquidity and capital resource needs.

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

29


Apache’s long-term operating cash flows are dependent on reserve replacement and the level of costs required for ongoing operations. Cash investments are required to fund activity necessary to offset the inherent declines in production and proved crude oil and natural gas reserves. Future success in maintaining and growing reserves and production is highly dependent on the success of our drilling program and our ability to add reserves economically. Deterioration in commodity prices also impacts estimated quantities of proved reserves. In the first quarter of 2016, we recognized negative reserve revisions of approximately 5 percent of our year-end 2015 estimated proved reserves as a result of lower prices. If realized prices for the remainder of 2016 approximate commodity future prices as of March 31, 2016, the Company is reasonably likely to report additional negative revisions, currently estimated at reasonable costs.

4 to 6 percent of year-end 2015 estimated proved reserves.



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

Net Cash Provided by Continuing Operating ActivitiesOperating cash flows are our primary source of capital and liquidity and are impacted, both in the short-term and the long-term, by volatile oil and natural gas prices. The factors that determine operating cash flow are largely the same as those that affect net earnings, with the exception of non-cash expenses such as DD&A, asset retirement obligation (ARO) accretion, and deferred income tax expense, which affect earnings but do not affect cash flows.

Net cash provided by continuing operating activities for the first three months of 20152016 totaled $650$276 million, a decrease of $1.6 billion$301 million from the first three months of 2014.2015. The decrease is primarily a result of the loss from operations from low oil prices andreflects lower production during the first quarter of 2015 and changes in working capital.

For a detailed discussion of commodity prices, production, and expenses, refer to the “Results of Operations” of this Item 2. For additional detail on the changes in operating assets and liabilities and the non-cash expenses that do not impact net cash provided by operating activities, please see the statement of consolidated cash flows in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Commercial paper

Capital Expenditures Worldwide exploration and bank loan borrowings During the first quarter of 2015, Apache’s net borrowings on committed bank facilities, uncommitted bank lines, and commercial paper totaled $1.0 billion. Outstanding debt under these programs totaled $2.6 billion as of March 31, 2015, and was classified as current on Apache’s consolidated balance sheet based on an intent to repay the obligations with proceeds from the LNG project divestitures. All current debt was repaid in April 2015 upon closing of those divestitures.

30


Capital Expenditures Worldwide E&Ddevelopment (E&D) expenditures for the first three months of 20152016 totaled $1.8 billion,$583 million, compared to $2.3$1.6 billion for the first three months of 2014. Apache’s E&D capital spending was primarily focused on North American onshore assets. With the focused reduction of drilling rigs and activity occurring during the first quarter of 2015, we expect capital expenditures to be significantly reduced for the remainder of the year. In the North America onshore region,2015. Apache operated an average of 3224 drilling rigs during the first quarter of 2015.

Apache also completed leasehold and property acquisitions totaling $92$19 million and $44$91 million during the first quartersthree months of 20152016 and 2014,2015, respectively. Our 20152016 acquisition investments continue to focus on adding new leasehold positions to our North American onshore portfolio.

Apache’s investment in gas gathering, transmission, and processing (GTP) facilities totaled $223 million during the first quarter of 2015 compared to $344$63 million in the comparative prior-year period.

2016.



ITEM 3 – QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Commodity Risk

The Company’s revenues, earnings, cash flow, capital investments and, ultimately, future rate of growth are highly dependent on the prices we receive for our crude oil, natural gas, and NGLs, which have historically been very volatile because of unpredictable events such as economic growth or retraction, weather, political climate, and political climate.global supply and demand. Our average crude oil realizations have decreased 5334 percent to $47.56$31.51 per barrel in the first quarter of 20152016 from $101.03$47.87 per barrel in the comparable period of 2014.2015. Our average natural gas price realizations have decreased 3026 percent to $3.14$2.15 per Mcf in the first quarter of 2016 from $4.46$2.93 per Mcf in the comparable period of 2014.

2015.

We periodically enter into derivative positions on a portion of our projected oil and natural gas production through a variety of financial and physical arrangements intended to manage fluctuations in cash flows resulting from changes in commodity prices. Apache periodically uses futures contracts, swaps, and options to mitigate commodity price risk. Apache does not hold or issue derivative instruments for trading purposes. As of March 31, 2015,2016, Apache had no open commodity derivative positions.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company considers its interest rate risk exposure to be minimal as a result of fixing interest rates on approximately 79 percent of the Company’s debt. At March 31, 2015, total debt included $2.6 billion of floating-rate debt. As a result, Apache’s annual interest costs will fluctuate based on short-term interest rates on approximately 21 percent of our total debt outstanding at March 31, 2015. The impact on cash flow of a 10 percent change in the floating interest rate based on debt balances at March 31, 2015, would be approximately $588,570 per quarter.

Foreign Currency Risk

The Company’s cash flow stream relating to certain international operations is based on the U.S. dollar equivalent of cash flows measured in foreign currencies. In Australia, oil production is sold under U.S. dollar contracts, and gas production is sold under a mixture of fixed-price U.S. dollar and Australian dollar contracts. Approximately 40 percent of the costs incurred for Australian operations are paid in U.S. dollars. In Canada, oil and gas prices and costs, such as equipment rentals and services, are generally denominated in Canadian dollars but heavily influenced by U.S. markets. Our North Sea production is sold under U.S. dollar contracts, and the majority of costs incurred are paid in British pounds. In Egypt, all oil and gas production is sold under U.S. dollar contracts, and the majority of the costs incurred are denominated in U.S. dollars. Revenue and disbursement transactions denominated in Australian dollars, Canadian dollars and British pounds are converted to U.S. dollar equivalents based on average exchange rates during the period.

Foreign currency gains and losses also arise when monetary assets and monetary liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the end of each month. Currency gains and losses are included as either a component of “Other” under “Revenues and Other” or, as is the case when we re-measure our foreign tax liabilities, as a component of the Company’s provision for income tax expense on the statement of consolidated operations. A foreign currency net gain or loss of $133 million would result from a 10 percent weakening or strengthening, or weakening ofrespectively, in the Australian dollar, Canadian dollar and British pound as of March 31, 2015, would result in a foreign currency net loss or gain, respectively, of approximately $163 million.
