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, 2012, which contains a summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies and other disclosures. Additionally, the Company’s financial statements for prior periods may include reclassifications that were made to conform to the current-period presentation.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

As of June 30, 2013, Apache’s significant accounting policies are consistent with those discussed in Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of its consolidated financial statements contained in Apache’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates with regard to these financial statements include the fair value determination of acquired assets and liabilities, the estimate of proved oil and gas reserves and related present value estimates of future net cash flows therefrom, assessing 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.

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. For a discussion of the calculation of estimated future net cash flows, please refer to Note 14—Supplemental Oil and Gas Disclosures in Apache’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for its 2012 fiscal year. For the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded $65 million ($42 million net of tax) and $1.2 billion ($870 million net of tax), respectively, in non-cash write-downs of the carrying value of the Company’s Argentinian and Canadian proved oil and gas properties, respectively.

New Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Adopted

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-04, which increases disclosures for certain liability arrangements. The guidance requires an entity that is joint and severally liable to measure the obligation as the sum of the amount the entity has agreed with co-obligors to pay and any additional amount it expects to pay on behalf of one or more co-obligors. Required disclosures include a description of the nature of the arrangement, how the liability arose, the relationship with co-obligors and the terms and conditions of the arrangement. ASU No. 2013-04 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this amendment on its consolidated financial statements; however, any changes will be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented.

2. ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES

2013 Activity

Gulf of Mexico Shelf

On July 18, 2013, Apache announced that it had entered into an agreement to sell its Gulf of Mexico Shelf operations and properties to Fieldwood Energy LLC (Fieldwood), an affiliate of Riverstone Holdings. Under the terms of the agreement, Apache will receive cash proceeds of $3.75 billion and Fieldwood will assume liabilities estimated at $1.5 billion related to future abandonment of the assets (discounted asset retirement obligation as of June 30, 2013). Apache will retain a 50-percent ownership interest in all exploration blocks and in horizons below existing production in developed blocks. The effective date of the agreement is July 1, 2013, and the transaction is expected to close September 30, 2013, subject to customary regulatory approvals and closing conditions.

Kitimat LNG Project

In February 2013, Apache completed a transaction with Chevron Canada Limited (Chevron Canada) to build and operate the Kitimat LNG project and develop shale gas resources at the Liard and Horn River basins in British Columbia. Chevron Canada and Apache Canada are now each a 50-percent owner of the Kitimat LNG plant, the Pacific Trail Pipelines Limited Partnership (PTP), and 644,000 gross undeveloped acres in the Horn River and Liard basins. As part of the transaction, Apache Canada increased its ownership in the LNG plant and PTP pipeline from 40 percent, sold portions of its existing interests in Horn River and Liard, and purchased other additional interests in Horn River. Chevron Canada will operate the LNG plant and pipeline while Apache Canada will continue to operate the upstream assets. Apache’s net proceeds from the transaction were $405 million.

2012 Activity

Cordillera Energy Partners III, LLC

On April 30, 2012, Apache completed the acquisition of Cordillera Energy Partners III, LLC (Cordillera), a privately-held exploration and production company, in a stock and cash transaction. Cordillera’s properties included approximately 312,000 net acres in the Granite Wash, Tonkawa, Cleveland, and Marmaton plays in western Oklahoma and the Texas Panhandle.

Apache issued 6,272,667 shares of common stock and paid approximately $2.7 billion of cash to the sellers as consideration for the transaction. The transaction was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. The following table summarizes the final estimates of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition.

Goodwill was the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the future economic benefits arising from assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. Goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

Yara Pilbara Holdings Pty Limited

On January 31, 2012, a subsidiary of Apache Energy Limited completed the acquisition of a 49-percent interest in Yara Pilbara Holdings Pty Limited (YPHPL, formerly Burrup Holdings Limited) for $439 million, including working capital adjustments. The transaction was funded with debt. YPHPL is the owner of an ammonia plant on the Burrup Peninsula of Western Australia. Apache has supplied gas to the plant since operations commenced in 2006. Yara Australia Pty Ltd (Yara) owns the remaining 51 percent of

YPHPL and operates the plant. The investment in YPHPL is accounted for under the equity method of accounting, with the balance recorded as a component of “Deferred charges and other” in Apache’s consolidated balance sheet and results of operations recorded as a component of “Other” under “Revenues and Other” in the Company’s statement of consolidated operations.

3. 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. Apache manages the variability in its cash flows by occasionally entering into derivative transactions on a portion of its crude oil and natural gas production. The Company utilizes various types of derivative financial instruments, including swaps and options, to manage fluctuations in cash flows resulting from changes in commodity prices.

Counterparty Risk

The use of derivative instruments exposes the Company to counterparty credit risk, or the risk that a counterparty will be unable to meet its commitments. To reduce the concentration of exposure to any individual counterparty, Apache utilizes a diversified group of investment-grade rated counterparties, primarily financial institutions, for its derivative transactions. As of June 30, 2013, Apache had derivative positions with 17 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, Apache may not realize the benefit of some of its derivative instruments resulting from lower commodity prices.

The Company executes commodity derivative transactions under master agreements that have netting provisions that provide for offsetting payables against receivables. In general, if a party to a derivative transaction incurs a material deterioration in its credit ratings, as defined in the applicable agreement, the other party has the right to demand the posting of collateral, demand a transfer, or terminate the arrangement. The Company’s net derivative liability position at June 30, 2013 represents the aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features that are in a net liability position. The Company has not provided any collateral to any of its counterparties as of June 30, 2013.

Derivative Instruments

As of June 30, 2013, Apache had the following open crude oil derivative positions:

(1) 

For 2013 and 2014, these fixed-price swaps and collars have been designated as cash flow hedges with unrealized gains and losses deferred in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

Subsequent to June 30, 2013, Apache entered into additional crude oil derivatives not designated as cash flow hedges totaling 4 million barrels for the fourth quarter of 2013, 8.4 million barrels for 2014, and 1.5 million barrels for 2015 at ICE Brent pricing. These derivatives were entered in connection with the Gulf of Mexico Shelf divestiture and the total position (including any potential gain or loss at that time) will be novated to Fieldwood upon close. In the event the transaction does not close, the positions will be cash settled with Fieldwood and a separate guarantee with Riverstone Holdings is in place to protect Apache from potential liability.

For 2013, these fixed-price swaps have not been designated as cash flow hedges, and changes in fair value are reflected directly in earnings. All other derivative positions have been designated as cash flow hedges.

Fair Value Measurements

Apache’s commodity derivative instruments consist of variable-to-fixed price commodity swaps and options. The fair values of the Company’s derivatives are not actively quoted in the open market. The Company uses a market approach to estimate the fair values of its derivative instruments, utilizing commodity futures price strips for the underlying commodities provided by a reputable third party.

The following table presents the Company’s derivative assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

The Company’s debt is recorded at the carrying amount, net of unamortized discount, on its consolidated balance sheet. The carrying amount of the Company’s commercial paper and uncommitted credit facilities 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).

During the second quarter, Apache repaid the $500 million aggregate principal amount of 5.25-percent notes that matured on April 15, 2013, by borrowing under our commercial paper program. As of June 30, 2013, current debt included $400 million 6.00-percent notes due in September 2013. Additionally, current debt included $78 million and $91 million borrowed on uncommitted credit facilities and overdraft lines as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

 

11


As of June 30, 2013, the Company had unsecured committed revolving credit facilities totaling $3.3 billion, of which $1.0 billion matures in August 2016 and $2.3 billion matures in June 2017. The facilities consist of a $1.7 billion facility and $1.0 billion facility for the U.S., a $300 million facility for Australia, and a $300 million facility for Canada. As of June 30, 2013, available borrowing capacity under the Company’s credit facilities was $1.9 billion. The Company’s committed credit facilities are used to support Apache’s commercial paper program.

The Company has available a $3.0 billion commercial paper program, which generally enables Apache to borrow funds for up to 270 days at competitive interest rates. The commercial paper program is fully supported by available borrowing capacity under our committed credit facilities. As of June 30, 2013, the Company had $1.4 billion in commercial paper outstanding, compared with $489 million as of December 31, 2012.

7. INCOME TAXES

The Company estimates its annual effective income tax rate in recording its quarterly provision for income taxes in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Statutory tax rate changes and other significant or unusual items are recognized as discrete items in the quarter in which they occur. Accordingly, the Company recorded the income tax impact of a $65 million non-cash write-down of its Argentinian proved oil and gas properties as a discrete item in the first quarter of 2013. Additionally, the Company recorded the income tax impact of a $521 million and $641 million non-cash write-down of its Canadian proved oil and gas properties as a discrete item in the first and second quarters of 2012, respectively.

The Company recorded a $9 million decrease and a $16 million increase in the Argentina and Canada valuation allowances, respectively, during the second quarter of 2013 for deferred tax assets the Company does not expect to realize. During the first quarter of 2013, the Company recorded an increase in the valuation allowances in Argentina and Canada totaling $27 million and $12 million, respectively.

Apache and its subsidiaries are 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 under audit with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for the 2011 tax year. The Company is also under audit in various states and in most of the Company’s foreign jurisdictions as part of its normal course of business.

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Matters

Apache is party to various legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, including litigation and governmental and regulatory controls. The Company has an accrued liability of approximately $16 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.

Argentine Environmental Claims

As more fully described in Note 8 of the financial statements in Apache’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for its 2012 fiscal year, in 2006 the Company acquired a subsidiary of Pioneer Natural Resources in Argentina (PNRA) that is involved in various administrative proceedings with environmental authorities in the Neuquén Province relating to permits for and discharges from operations in that province. In addition, PNRA was named in a suit initiated against oil companies operating in the Neuquén basin entitled Asociación de Superficiarios de la Patagonia v. YPF S.A., et. al., originally filed on August 21, 2003, in the Argentine National Supreme Court of Justice relating to various environmental and remediation claims. The plaintiff in that case, known as ASSUPA, in 2012 asserted similar lawsuits and claims against numerous oil and gas producers relating to other geographic areas of Argentina, including claims against a Company subsidiary relating to the Austral Basin. While it is possible that one or more of the Company’s subsidiaries may incur liabilities related to these claims, no reasonable prediction can be made as the Company’s subsidiaries’ exposure related to these lawsuits is not currently determinable. 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 2012 fiscal year.

U.S. Royalty Litigation

As more fully described in Note 8 of the financial statements in Apache’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for its 2012 fiscal year, on August 20, 2012, in Foster v. Apache Corporation, Civil Action No. CIV-10-0573-HE, in the United States District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma, the District Court denied plaintiff’s motion for class certification. The plaintiff filed a motion for reconsideration, which was also denied, and petitioned the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit to accept an appeal of the District Court’s ruling denying class certification. The plaintiff withdrew the petition to appeal following decisions on July 8, 2013, by the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit to vacate District Court class certification orders in two unrelated lawsuits – Wallace B. Roderick Revocable Living Trust v. XTO Energy, Inc., No. 12-3176, and Chieftain Royalty Company v. XTO Energy, Inc., No. 12-7047. No other material change in the status of this matter has occurred since the filing of Apache’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for its 2012 fiscal year.

Louisiana Restoration 

As more fully described in Note 8 of the financial statements in Apache’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for its 2012 fiscal year, numerous surface owners have filed claims or sent demand letters to various oil and gas companies, including Apache, claiming that, under either expressed or implied lease terms or Louisiana law, they are liable for damage measured by the cost of restoration of leased premises to their original condition as well as damages for contamination and cleanup. No material change in the status of these matters has occurred since the filing of Apache’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for its 2012 fiscal year.

On July 24, 2013, a lawsuit was filed captioned Board of Commissioners of the Southeast Louisiana Flood Protection Authority – East v. Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company et al., Case No. 2013-6911 in the Civil District Court for the Parish of Orleans, State of Louisiana, in which plaintiff on behalf of itself and as the board governing the levee districts of Orleans, Lake Borgne Basin, and East Jefferson alleges that Louisiana coastal lands have been damaged as a result of oil and gas industry activity, including a network of canals for access and pipelines. The plaintiff seeks damages and injunctive relief in the form of abatement and restoration based on claims of negligence, strict liability, natural servitude of drain, public nuisance, private nuisance, and breach of contract – third party beneficiary. Apache has been indiscriminately named as one of approximately 100 defendants in the lawsuit. The overall exposure related to this lawsuit is not currently determinable. While an adverse judgment against Apache might be possible, Apache intends to vigorously defend the case.

Hurricane-Related Litigation

As more fully described in Note 8 of the financial statements in Apache’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for its 2012 fiscal year, on May 27, 2011, in the case styled Comer et al. v. Murphy Oil USA, Inc. et al., Case No. 1:11-cv-220 HS0-JMR, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi, the District Court granted defendants’ motion to dismiss plaintiffs’ claims, and plaintiffs appealed the decision to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. On May 14, 2013, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit affirmed the District Court’s decision in case No. 12-60291. No other material change in the status of this matter has occurred since the filing of Apache’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for its 2012 fiscal year.

Australia Gas Pipeline Force Majeure 

As more fully described in Note 8 of the financial statements in Apache’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for its 2012 fiscal year, in 2008 Company subsidiaries reported a pipeline explosion that interrupted deliveries of natural gas in Australia to customers under various long-term contracts. No material change in the status of these matters has occurred since the filing of Apache’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for its 2012 fiscal year except as follows:

 

   

In the case captioned Alcoa of Australia Limited v. Apache Energy Limited, Apache Northwest Pty Ltd, Tap (Harriet) Pty Ltd, and Kufpec Australia Pty Ltd, Civ. 1481 of 2011, in the Supreme Court of Western Australia, on June 20, 2012, the Supreme Court struck out Alcoa’s claim that the liquidated damages provisions under two long-term contracts are unenforceable as a penalty and also struck out Alcoa’s claim for damages for breach of statutory duty. The Company subsidiaries have filed an appeal in the Supreme Court of Western Australia Court of Appeal asking that Alcoa’s remaining tort claim for economic loss be dismissed or, alternatively, struck out. The hearing on appeal took place on April 10, 2013, and the parties await the Court of Appeal’s ruling.

 

   

In the case captioned Burrup Fertilisers Pty Ltd v. Apache Corporation, Apache Energy Limited, and Apache Northwest Pty Ltd, Cause No. 2009-79834, in the District Court of Harris County, Texas, on March 22, 2013, Burrup Fertilisers agreed to dismiss its Texas lawsuit based on Apache Corporation’s motion to dismiss on the ground of forum non conveniens. Accordingly, the District Court entered an agreed order dismissing Burrup Fertilisers’ Texas lawsuit on the ground of forum non conveniens. By its terms, the order of dismissal does not prevent Burrup Fertilisers from re-filing its lawsuit in the civil courts of Western Australia.

 

   

As noted in Apache’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for its 2012 fiscal year, other customers have threatened to file suit challenging the declaration of force majeure under their contracts. At least one third party that is not a customer has also threatened to file suit. In the event it is determined that the pipeline explosion was not a force majeure, Company subsidiaries believe that liquidated damages should be the extent of the damages under long-term contracts with such provisions. Approximately 90 percent of the natural gas volumes sold by Company subsidiaries under long-term contracts have liquidated damages provisions. The Company’s subsidiaries’ share of contractual liquidated damages under the long-term contracts with such provisions would not be expected to exceed $50 million AUD exclusive of interest. This is a reduction from the previous estimate of $200 million AUD. No assurance can be given that customers and/or third parties would not assert claims in excess of contractual liquidated damages, and exposure related to such claims is not currently determinable. While an adverse judgment against Company subsidiaries (and the Company, in the case of the Burrup Fertilisers lawsuit) is possible, the Company and Company subsidiaries do not believe any such claims would have merit and plan to vigorously pursue their defenses against any such claims.

Breton Lawsuit

As more fully described in Note 8 of the financial statements in Apache’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for its 2012 fiscal year, on October 29, 2012, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint in Breton Energy, L.L.C. et al. v. Mariner Energy Resources, Inc., et al., Case 4:11-cv-03561, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division, seeking compensation from defendants for allegedly depriving plaintiffs of rights to hydrocarbons in a reservoir described by plaintiffs as a common reservoir in West Cameron Blocks 171 and 172 offshore Louisiana in the Gulf of Mexico. On May 28, 2013, the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas dismissed the plaintiffs’ claims and entered judgment in favor of the defendants. On June 3, 2013, the plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal in the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. The appeal is pending. No other material change in the status of this matter has occurred since the filing of Apache’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for its 2012 fiscal year.

Escheat Audits

As more fully described in Note 8 of the financial statements in Apache’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for its 2012 fiscal year, the State of Delaware, Department of Finance, Division of Revenue (Unclaimed Property), has notified numerous companies, including Apache Corporation, that the State intends to examine its books and records and those of its subsidiaries and related entities to determine compliance with the Delaware Escheat Laws. The review is ongoing, and no material change in the status of this matter has occurred since the filing of Apache’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for its 2012 fiscal year.

Burrup-Related Gas Supply Lawsuits

As more fully described in Note 8 of the financial statements in Apache’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for its 2012 fiscal year, on May 19, 2011, a lawsuit captioned Pankaj Oswal et al. v. Apache Corporation, Cause No. 2011-30302, in the District Court of Harris County, Texas, was filed in which plaintiffs assert claims against the Company under the Australian Trade Practices Act. Following a hearing on March 22, 2013, the District Court on April 5, 2013, granted Apache Corporation’s motion to dismiss on the ground of forum non conveniens and entered an order dismissing the Texas lawsuit. No other material change in the status of this matter has occurred since the filing of Apache’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for its 2012 fiscal year.

No material change in the status of the case captioned Radhika Oswal v. Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited (ANZ) et al., No. SCI 2011 4653, in the Supreme Court of Victoria, has occurred since the filing of Apache’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for its 2012 fiscal year.

Concerning the action filed by Tap (Harriet) Pty Ltd (Tap) against Burrup Fertilisers Pty Ltd et al., Civ. 2329 of 2009, in the Supreme Court of Western Australia, no material change in the status of this matter has occurred since the filing of Apache’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for its 2012 fiscal year.

Environmental Matters

As of June 30, 2013, the Company had an undiscounted reserve for environmental remediation of approximately $98 million. The Company is not aware of any environmental claims existing as of June 30, 2013, that have not been provided for or would otherwise have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations, or liquidity. There can be no assurance, however, that current regulatory requirements will not change or past non-compliance with environmental laws will not be discovered on the Company’s properties.

As more fully described in Note 8 of the financial statements in Apache’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for its 2012 fiscal year, on May 25, 2011, a panel of the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEMRE, as it was then known) published a report dated May 23, 2011, and titled “OCS G-2580, Vermilion Block 380 Platform A, Incidents of Noncompliance.” The report concerned the BOEMRE’s investigation of a fire on the Vermillion 380 A platform located in the Gulf of Mexico. Apache currently operates the platform, however, at the time of the incident Mariner Energy was the operator. On April 17, 2013, the Office of Hearings and Appeals, Interior Board of Land Appeals of the United States Department of the Interior, No. IBLA 2012-183, affirmed certain Incidents of Noncompliance issued by the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement arising out of Mariner Energy’s operation of the Vermilion 380 platform. The Company is considering its options, including but not limited to, whether to appeal this determination. Civil penalties have not yet been assessed. No other material change in the status of this matter has occurred since the filing of Apache’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for its 2012 fiscal year.

On June 1, 2013 Apache Canada Ltd. discovered a leak of produced water from a below ground pipeline in the area of our Zama Operations in northern Alberta. The pipeline was associated with a produced water disposal well. The spill resulted in approximately 60 thousand barrels of produced water being released to the marsh land environment. The applicable government agencies were immediately notified of the event and the line was shut down. Apache Canada Ltd. is currently conducting clean up and monitoring activities in the affected area. It is communicating with appropriate parties including regulatory and First Nation representatives. Investigation of the incident is underway. While the exposure related to this incident is not currently determinable, the Company does not expect the economic impact of this incident to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

Common and Preferred Stock Dividends

For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2013, Apache paid $78 million and $145 million, respectively, in dividends on its common stock. For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2012, Apache paid $65 million and $123 million, respectively.

For each of the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012, Apache paid $19 million and $38 million in dividends on its Series D Preferred Stock, respectively.

During the first quarter of 2013, Apache’s Board of Directors approved an 18-percent increase for the regular quarterly cash dividend on the Company’s common stock to $0.20 per share. This increase applied to the dividend on common stock payable on May 22, 2013, to stockholders of record on April 22, 2013.

Stock Repurchase Program

In May 2013, Apache’s Board of Directors authorized the purchase of up to 30 million shares of the Company’s common stock, valued at approximately $2 billion when first announced. Shares may be purchased either in the open market or through privately held negotiated transactions. The Company initiated the program on June 10, 2013, with the repurchase of 2,924,271 shares at an average price of $85.47 during the month of June. The Company anticipates that further purchases will primarily be made with proceeds from asset dispositions, but the Company is not obligated to acquire any specific number of shares.

Series D Preferred Stock

On July 28, 2010, Apache issued 25.3 million depositary shares, each representing a 1/20th interest in a share of Apache’s 6.00-percent Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, Series D (Preferred Share), or 1.265 million Preferred Shares. Upon conversion of the outstanding Preferred Shares on August 1, 2013, 14.4 million Apache common shares were issued.

ITEM 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Apache Corporation, a Delaware corporation formed in 1954, is an independent energy company that explores for, develops and produces natural gas, crude oil, and natural gas liquids. The Company has exploration and production interests in six countries: the U.S., Canada, Egypt, Australia, the United Kingdom (U.K.) North Sea, and Argentina. Apache also pursues exploration interests in other countries that may over time result in reportable discoveries and development opportunities.

This 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 2012 fiscal year.

Financial Overview

For the second quarter of 2013, Apache reported earnings of $1.0 billion, or $2.54 per diluted common share, compared with $337 million, or $0.86 per share, in the prior-year period. Earnings for the first half of 2013 totaled $1.7 billion, or $4.30 per diluted share. Apache’s adjusted earnings for the second quarter of 2013, which exclude certain items impacting the comparability of results, were $801 million, or $2.01 per diluted common share, down from $821 million, or $2.07 per share, in the second quarter of 2012. Adjusted earnings for the first half of 2013 totaled $1.6 billion, or $4.03 per diluted share, down from $2.0 billion or $5.06 per share in the comparable prior-year period. Adjusted earnings is not a financial measure prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (GAAP). For a description of adjusted earnings and a reconciliation of adjusted earnings to income attributable to common stock, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, please see “Non-GAAP Measures” in this Item 2.

Underpinning earnings was a 42-percent increase in onshore North America liquids production over the prior-year quarter. This growth resulted in a 2-percent increase in worldwide production to 790 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day (Mboe/d) and a 4-percent increase in production revenues to $4.1 billion. Worldwide liquids production for the quarter was 10 percent higher than the comparative 2012 quarter averaging 426 Mboe/d, of which 84 percent was crude oil.

The strength of our crude oil portfolio helped drive net cash provided by operating activities (operating cash flows or cash flows) which totaled $2.8 billion for the second quarter of 2013, consistent with the second quarter of 2012. Operating cash flows is a key measure for us as it provides liquidity for our active drilling program and large-scale development projects currently in progress. With our significant acquisitions over the past three years and increased production levels, the Company’s operating cash flows have been trending upward. This additional cash flow has primarily been invested in exploration and development activities, including increased drilling on our expanded acreage positions. We routinely adjust our capital budget on a quarterly basis in response to changing market conditions and operating cash flow forecasts.

Although 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 occasional sale of assets for all other liquidity needs. Earlier this year, the Company announced plans to divest approximately $4 billion of assets by year-end 2013 to enhance financial flexibility and rebalance our portfolio, after several years of acquisitions, to an asset mix we believe will continue to generate strong returns, drive more predictable growth, and deliver value to our shareholders. The Company intends to use the proceeds from these divestitures to reduce debt and to repurchase Apache common shares under a 30-million share repurchase program authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors. As of the date of this filing, approximately 2.9 million shares have been repurchased. For additional information on this share repurchase program, please see Part II, Item 2, “Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds” of this Form 10-Q.

As an important first step to our asset divestiture plan, in July 2013 Apache announced that it had entered into an agreement to sell its Gulf of Mexico Shelf operations and properties to Fieldwood Energy LLC (Fieldwood), an affiliate of Riverstone Holdings. Under the terms of the agreement, Apache will receive cash proceeds of $3.75 billion and Fieldwood will assume liabilities estimated at $1.5 billion related to future abandonment of the assets (discounted asset retirement obligation as of June 30, 2013). Apache will retain a 50-percent ownership interest in all exploration blocks and in horizons below existing production in developed blocks. The effective date of the agreement is July 1, 2013, and the transaction is expected to close September 30, 2013, subject to customary regulatory approvals and closing conditions.

Operational Developments

Apache has a significant producing asset base as well as large undeveloped acreage positions that provide a platform for organic growth through sustainable lower-risk drilling opportunities, balanced by higher-risk, higher-reward exploration. We are also continuing to advance several longer-term, individually significant development projects, as more fully discussed in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Notable operational developments include:

North America

 

   

In the second quarter, the Central region saw production increase for the fifth consecutive quarter as we continue to deploy capital across our nearly two million gross acres in the Anadarko basin. Production was up 65 percent relative to the prior-year quarter as the result of our active oil and liquids-rich drilling program and full integration of production from our Cordillera acquisition. During the quarter we operated an average of 28 drilling rigs, drilling 87 gross wells with 100 percent success.

 

   

Our active drilling program in the Permian Basin during the second quarter of 2013 resulted in a production increase of 18 percent relative to the second quarter of 2012. Over 55 percent of the region’s production is crude oil and 18 percent is natural gas liquids (NGL). Combined this represents 21 percent of Apache’s total liquids production for the second quarter of 2013.

 

   

Second quarter 2013 U.S. production represents 45 percent of Apache’s total worldwide production, a 20-percent increase over the U.S. share in the second quarter of 2012. Focused drilling programs in the Permian Basin and Anadarko basin continue to provide momentum for Apache’s U.S. production growth.

International

 

   

On July 16, 2013, Apache announced its Bianchi-1 natural gas discovery located 4 miles northeast of the 2011 Zola gas discovery offshore Western Australia in the Carnarvon Basin. The well logged 367 feet of net pay in eight reservoir zones between 15,577 and 17,530 feet subsea. Apache is in the early stages of evaluating the discovery results and assessing potential commercial opportunities. Apache operates and owns a 30.25-percent working interest in the well.

 

   

During the second quarter of 2013, major milestones were met on the Forties Alpha Satellite Platform project in the North Sea. The bridge and topsides module were successfully delivered and installed offshore. The project is now in the final stages leading up to commissioning with drilling scheduled to commence in the third quarter of 2013. This platform is bridge-linked to the adjacent main Forties Alpha platform and provides an additional 18 drilling slots, plus power and processing capacity.

 

   

On August 1, 2013, Apache announced that the third development well in the Bacchus Field in the U.K. North Sea has pushed field production past 17,600 barrels of oil per day. Apache has a 50 percent interest in the field. Following the recent success at Bacchus, Apache has extended its current Forties 3D seismic survey area to cover other Jurassic development and exploration targets in Apache licenses in the Bacchus area.

 

   

On August 1, 2013, Apache announced seven oil and gas discoveries in four different geologic basins in Egypt’s Western Desert. In particular, the Riviera SW-1X discovery in the Abu Gharadig basin test-flowed 5,800 barrels of oil and 2.8 million cubic feet of gas per day from a Lower Bahariya sand with 24 feet of net pay. All seven discoveries have been tested and the Riviera SW-1X is already producing.

Notable Events

Egypt Political Unrest

In February 2011, former Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak stepped down, and the Egyptian Supreme Council of the Armed Forces took power, announcing that it would remain in power until presidential and parliamentary elections could be held. In June 2012, President Mohamed Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood’s Freedom and Justice Party was elected as Egypt’s new president, and in December 2012, the people of Egypt ratified a new constitution.

In July 2013, the Egyptian military removed President Morsi from power and installed Egypt’s Chief Justice, Adly Mansour, as acting president of a temporary government, which is seeking to set a schedule for new parliamentary and presidential elections in 2014.

Apache’s operations, located in remote locations in the Western Desert, have not experienced production interruptions, and we have continued to receive development lease approvals for our drilling program. However, a deterioration in the political, economic, and social conditions or other relevant policies of the Egyptian government, such as changes in laws or regulations, export restrictions, expropriation of our assets or resource nationalization, and/or forced renegotiation or modification of our existing contracts with EGPC could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

 

29


As of December 31, 2012, Apache had 2,995,771 net undeveloped acres in Egypt set to expire by year-end 2013, and 285,325 and 954,553 net undeveloped acres set to expire in 2014 and 2015, respectively. During the first six months of 2013, the Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation (EGPC) has granted six-month extensions for each of our concessions expiring during this year. We continue to seek longer term extensions but cannot assure that such extensions can be achieved on an economic basis or otherwise on terms agreeable to both the Company and EGPC. There are currently no reserves recorded on this undeveloped acreage and Apache will not make future investments in these areas unless the present concessions are extended.

Apache purchases multi-year political risk insurance from the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) and other highly rated international insurers covering a portion of its investments in Egypt. In the aggregate, these insurance policies, subject to the policy terms and conditions, provide approximately $900 million of coverage to Apache for losses arising from confiscation, nationalization, and expropriation risks, with a $192 million sub-limit for currency inconvertibility.

In addition, Apache has a separate policy with OPIC, which provides $300 million of coverage for losses arising from (1) non-payment by EGPC of arbitral awards covering amounts owed Apache on past due invoices and (2) expropriation of exportable petroleum in the event that actions taken by the government of Egypt prevent Apache from exporting our share of production. In October 2012, the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA), a member of the World Bank Group, announced that it was providing $150 million in reinsurance to OPIC for the remainder of the policy term. This provision of long-term reinsurance to OPIC will allow Apache to maintain the $300 million of insurance coverage through 2024.

Second-Quarter 2013 compared to Second-Quarter 2012

Crude Oil Revenues Crude oil revenues for the second quarter of 2013 totaled $3.2 billion, a $104 million increase from the comparative 2012 quarter, primarily the result of a 3-percent increase in average daily production. Crude oil accounted for 78 percent of oil and gas production revenues and 45 percent of worldwide production in the second quarter of 2013. Higher production volumes increased second-quarter 2013 revenues by $96 million compared to the prior-year quarter, while slightly higher realized prices increased revenues by $8 million. Crude oil prices realized in the second quarter of 2013 averaged $97.93 per barrel, compared with $97.66 in the comparative prior-year quarter.

Worldwide production increased 11 thousand barrels of oil per day (Mb/d) to 359 Mb/d from the second quarter of last year, primarily driven by an increase in drilling activity and successful programs in the Permian Basin and Anadarko basin, partially offset by decreases in Egypt and Australia. Oil production increased 10 Mb/d in our Permian region, primarily in the Deadwood, Spraberry, and Wolfcamp plays, and 10 Mb/d in our Central region with increased activity in the Granite Wash. Net oil production in Egypt decreased 11 Mb/d as a result of natural decline and Australia’s production decreased 9 Mb/d primarily on natural decline from our Pyrenees and Van Gogh fields.

Natural Gas Revenues Gas revenues for the second quarter of 2013 totaled $769 million, up 4 percent from the second quarter of 2012. A 6-percent decrease in average production reduced natural gas revenues by $47 million as compared to the prior-year quarter, while a 10-percent increase in average realized prices increased revenues by $76 million. Natural gas accounted for 19 percent of our oil and gas production revenues and 46 percent of our equivalent production.

 

33


Apache’s drilling programs remain focused on oil and liquids-rich gas targets. As a result, our worldwide natural gas production was 132 MMcf/d lower than the second quarter of last year. Gas production declined 91 MMcf/d, 62 MMcf/d, 40 MMcf/d, and 16 MMcf/d in Canada, our Gulf of Mexico regions (Shelf and Deepwater), Argentina, and the North Sea, respectively, primarily as a result of natural decline. Production from our Gulf of Mexico regions was also negatively impacted by third-party downtime; however, the region benefited from the positive results of drilling and recompletion programs. Argentina’s production was further impacted by restricted transportation capacity. Gas production in our Central and Permian regions increased 40 MMcf/d and 12 MMcf/d, respectively, as a result of gas associated with liquids-rich drilling activity in the Anadarko basin and Permian Basin. Gas production increased 26 MMcf/d in our Gulf Coast Onshore region as a result of successful drilling and recompletion activities.

Year-to-Date 2013 compared to Year-to-Date 2012

Crude Oil Revenues Crude oil revenues for the first six months of 2013 totaled $6.5 billion, $153 million lower than the comparative 2012 period, the result of a 4-percent decline in average realized prices and partially offset by a 3-percent increase in worldwide production. Crude oil accounted for 78 percent of oil and gas production revenues and 45 percent of worldwide production for the first six months of 2013 and 2012. Lower realized prices reduced revenues by $293 million compared to the first six months of 2012, while higher production volumes added $140 million. Crude oil prices realized in the first six months of 2013 averaged $99.80 per barrel, compared with $104.43 in the comparative prior-year period.

Worldwide production increased 10 Mb/d to 357 Mb/d in the first six months of this year from the same period last year, primarily driven by an increase in drilling activity and successful programs in the Permian Basin and Anadarko basin, partially offset by production declines in Egypt and Australia. Production increased 12 Mb/d, or 130 percent, in our Central region and 11 Mb/d in our Permian region, primarily in the Deadwood, Spraberry, and Wolfcamp plays. Net production in Egypt was 10 Mb/d lower on natural decline and Australia production decreased 10 Mb/d as a result of increased cyclone activity and natural decline from our Pyrenees and Van Gogh fields.

Natural Gas Revenues Gas revenues for the first six months of 2013 totaled $1.5 billion, down 3 percent from the comparative 2012 period. A 6-percent decline in average production reduced natural gas revenues by $101 million, while a 3-percent increase in average realized prices increased revenues by $54 million. Natural gas accounted for 18 percent of our oil and gas production revenues and 46 percent of our equivalent production, compared to 18 percent and 50 percent, respectively, for the 2012 period. As a whole our North America regions, which contribute approximately two-thirds of our worldwide gas production, benefitted from higher realized prices as compared to the first six months of 2012, increasing 8 percent over year-ago levels.

Apache’s drilling programs remain focused on oil and liquids-rich gas targets. As a result, our worldwide natural gas production was 134 MMcf/d lower than the first six months of last year. Gas production declined 104 MMcf/d, 78 MMcf/d, 31 MMcf/d, 14 MMcf/d in Canada, our Gulf of Mexico Regions, Argentina, and the North Sea, respectively, primarily as a result of natural decline. Production from our Gulf of Mexico regions was also negatively impacted by third-party downtime; however, the region benefited from the positive results of drilling and recompletion programs. Argentina’s production was also negatively impacted by restricted transportation capacity. Gas production in our Central and Permian regions increased 76 MMcf/d and 9 MMcf/d, respectively, as a result of gas associated with liquids-rich drilling activity in the Anadarko basin and Permian Basin. Gas production increased 19 MMcf/d in our Gulf Coast Onshore region as a result of successful drilling and recompletion activities.

Oil and gas property recurring DD&A expense of $1.3 billion in the second quarter of 2013 increased $117 million compared to the prior-year quarter on an absolute dollar basis: $91 million on rate and $26 million from higher volumes. Oil and gas property recurring DD&A expense of $2.6 billion in the first six months of 2013 increased $247 million compared to the prior-year period on an absolute dollar basis: $201 million on rate and $46 million from higher volumes. The Company’s oil and gas property recurring DD&A rate increased $1.29 and $1.53 per boe for the second quarter and first six months of 2013, respectively, compared to the prior-year periods, reflecting acquisition and drilling costs that exceed our historical levels.

In addition, in the first quarter of 2013 we recorded a non-cash write-down on the carrying value of our proved oil and gas property balances in Argentina of $65 million ($42 million net of tax). In 2012, we recorded non-cash write-downs on the carrying value of our proved oil and gas property balances in Canada of $521 million ($390 million net of tax) and $641 million ($480 million net of tax) as of March 31, 2012 and June 30, 2012, respectively. 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 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. Additional write-downs in Argentina may occur given certain operational and economic conditions including our inability to extend existing concessions with economically viable terms. The Company had 949,589 net undeveloped acres in Argentina on concessions set to expire by year-end 2013, and 122,141 and 515,508 net undeveloped acres set to expire in 2014 and 2015, respectively. Although there are no reserves recorded on this undeveloped acreage, future investment by Apache in these areas will be significantly influenced by the ability to extend present concessions.

The Company also recorded $7 million of additional DD&A in the second quarter of 2012 associated with impairments of new venture seismic activity in countries where Apache is pursuing exploration opportunities but had not established a presence.

Lease Operating Expenses (LOE) LOE increased $125 million, or 18 percent, and $223 million, or 16 percent, on an absolute dollar basis, for the quarter and six-month period ended June 30, 2013, respectively, relative to the comparable periods of 2012. On a per unit basis, LOE increased 16 percent to $11.54 per boe for the second quarter of 2013, as compared to the same prior-year period, and 15 percent to $11.25 per boe for the first six months of 2013, as compared to the prior-year six-month period.

U.S. costs for the second quarter and first six months of 2013 increased $7 million and $12 million, respectively, as compared to the same prior-year periods primarily as a result of higher production in the Central and Permian regions from increased drilling activity. North Sea costs for the first six months of 2013 decreased $4 million as compared to the prior-year period on lower production and cost-sharing with partners in the Bacchus field, which commenced production in April 2012.

Taxes other than Income Taxes other than income totaled $183 million and $425 million for the second quarter and the first six months of 2013, respectively, a decrease of $20 million and $35 million from the comparative prior-year periods.

The North Sea Petroleum Revenue Tax (PRT) is assessed on qualifying fields in the U.K. North Sea. For the second quarter of 2013, U.K. PRT was $40 million lower than the 2012 period based on a decrease in revenues as a result of lower production on qualifying fields. Severance and ad valorem tax expense increased $13 million and $5 million, respectively, on increased production from U.S. onshore fields.

U.K. PRT for the first six months of 2013 was $63 million lower when compared to the 2012 period based on a decrease in revenue. For the first six months of 2013, property acquisitions and higher drilling activity increased severance taxes and ad valorem taxes each by $10 million as compared to the first six months of 2012.

General and Administrative Expenses General and administrative expenses (G&A) for the second quarter of 2013 increased $1 million from the second quarter of 2012 on an absolute basis but on a per-unit basis were down $.03 per boe on higher production. For the first half of 2013 G&A decreased $11 million on an absolute basis from the comparable 2012 period on lower personnel, office, and information technology costs, and decreased $.09 per boe on a per-unit basis.

Net financing costs were up $6 million and $19 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2013, respectively, compared to the same 2012 periods. The $12 million and $52 million increases in interest expense in the second quarter and first six months of 2013, respectively, are associated with $5.0 billion of debt issued in 2012. The $5 million and $32 million increases in capitalized interest in the second quarter of 2013 and the first six months of 2013, respectively, are a direct result of higher unproved property balances from the Cordillera acquisition and U.S. leasing activities.

Provision for Income Taxes The Company estimates its annual effective income tax rate in recording its quarterly provision for income taxes in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Statutory tax rate changes and other significant or unusual items are recognized as discrete items in the quarter in which they occur. Accordingly, the Company recorded the income tax impact of a $65 million non-cash write-down of its Argentinian proved oil and gas properties as a discrete item in the first quarter of 2013. Additionally, the Company recorded the income tax impact of a $521 million and $641 million non-cash write-down of its Canadian proved oil and gas properties as a discrete item in the first and second quarters of 2012, respectively.

The 2013 second-quarter provision for income taxes was $603 million, representing an effective income tax rate of 37 percent for the quarter compared to 56 percent during the 2012 period. The 2013 effective rate reflects the impact of valuation allowances in Canada and Argentina and foreign currency fluctuations on deferred taxes. The 2012 effective rate reflects the impact of a $641 million Canadian non-cash oil and gas property write-down and foreign currency fluctuations on deferred taxes. Excluding these items, the second-quarter 2013 effective rate would have been 40 percent, a decrease from 43 percent in the second quarter of 2012.

The 2013 first six-months provision for income taxes was $1.2 billion, representing an effective income tax rate of 41 percent for the period compared to 51 percent during the 2012 period. The 2013 effective rate reflects the impact of valuation allowances in Canada and Argentina, a $65 million Argentinian non-cash oil and gas property write-down, and foreign currency fluctuations on deferred taxes. The 2012 effective rate reflects the impact of two quarterly Canadian non-cash write-downs discussed above and foreign currency fluctuations on deferred taxes. Excluding these items, the effective rate for the first six months of 2013 would have been 41 percent, a decrease from 43 percent in the comparative 2012 period.

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 occasional 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. Significant deterioration in commodity prices negatively impacts our revenues, earnings and cash flows, and potentially our liquidity if spending does not trend downward as well. Sales volumes and costs also impact cash flows; however, these historically have not been as volatile and have less impact than commodity prices in the short-term.

Apache’s long-term operating cash flows are dependent on reserve replacement and the level of costs required for ongoing operations. Cash investments are required to fund activity necessary to offset the inherent declines in production and proven crude oil and natural gas reserves. Future success in maintaining and growing reserves and production is highly dependent on the success of our exploration and development activities and our ability to acquire additional reserves at reasonable costs.

We believe the liquidity and capital resource alternatives available to Apache, combined with internally generated cash flows, will be adequate to fund short-term and long-term operations, including our capital spending program, repayment of debt maturities, and any amount that may ultimately be paid in connection with contingencies. In addition, on May 9, 2013, we announced plans to divest approximately $4 billion of assets in 2013 to rebalance our portfolio.

Subsequently, on July 18, 2013, Apache announced that it had entered into an agreement to sell its Gulf of Mexico Shelf operations and properties to Fieldwood Energy (Fieldwood), an affiliate of Riverstone Holdings. Under the terms of the agreement, Apache will receive cash proceeds of $3.75 billion and Fieldwood will assume liabilities estimated at $1.5 billion related to future abandonment of the assets (discounted asset retirement obligation as of June 30, 2013). The effective date of the agreement is July 1, 2013, and the transaction is expected to close September 30, 2013, subject to customary regulatory approvals and closing conditions.

The table presents capital expenditures on a cash basis; therefore, the amounts may differ from those discussed elsewhere in this document, which include accruals.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities 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.

 

38


Net cash provided by operating activities for the first six months of 2013 totaled $5.4 billion, up $581 million from the first six months of 2012. The increase primarily reflects changes in working capital during the period.

For a detailed discussion of commodity prices, production, and expenses, refer to the “Results of Operations” of this Item 2. For additional detail of changes in operating assets and liabilities, see the statement of consolidated cash flows in Item 1, Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q.

Kitimat Transaction In February 2013, Apache completed a transaction with Chevron Canada Limited (Chevron Canada) to build and operate the Kitimat LNG project and develop shale gas resources at the Liard and Horn River basins in British Columbia. Chevron Canada and Apache Canada are now each a 50-percent owner of the Kitimat LNG plant, the Pacific Trail Pipelines Limited Partnership (PTP), and 644,000 gross undeveloped acres in the Horn River and Liard basins. As part of the transaction, Apache Canada increased its ownership in the LNG plant and PTP pipeline from 40-percent, sold portions of its existing interests in Horn River and Liard, and purchased other additional interests in Horn River. Chevron Canada will operate the LNG plant and pipeline while Apache Canada will continue to operate the upstream assets. Apache’s net proceeds from the transaction were $405 million.

Capital Expenditures We fund exploration and development (E&D) activities primarily through operating cash flows and budget capital expenditures based on projected cash flows. With our significant acquisitions over the past three years and increased production levels, the Company’s operating cash flows have been trending upward. This additional cash flow has primarily been invested in exploration and development activities, including increased drilling on our expanded acreage positions. We routinely adjust our capital budget on a quarterly basis in response to changing market conditions and operating cash flow forecasts.

Worldwide E&D expenditures for the first six months of 2013 totaled $4.7 billion, or 23 percent above the first six months of 2012. E&D spending in North America, which was up 22 percent, totaled 64 percent of worldwide E&D spending. Expenditures in the U.S. increased 23 percent primarily on increased drilling activity in the Anadarko basin and Permian Basin, where we continue to shift to more horizontal drilling. In our Central region we have increased our activity in the Whittenburg and Anadarko basins where our active horizontal drilling program in the Granite Wash and Tonkawa plays continued to expand. In the Permian Basin, we are currently running 45 rigs, of which 20 are horizontal rigs, primarily targeting the Wolfcamp shale in the Barnhart area and the Cline shale in the Deadwood area. E&D spending in Canada increased 18 percent from the prior-year period as the region has continued to target oil and liquids-rich plays across its acreage.

E&D expenditures outside of North America increased 25 percent when compared to the first six months of 2012. Australian expenditures were up $374 million as both exploration and development drilling continued with higher activity levels than the prior-year period, as development activity in the region ramped-up. E&D spending in Egypt rose $40 million as a result of infrastructure projects, while Argentina expenditures were down $72 million on decreased drilling activity.

We invested $477 million in GTP in the first six months of 2013, consistent with prior-year activity, with the majority related to activities associated with the Wheatstone LNG project in Australia.

Stock Repurchase Program In May 2013, Apache’s Board of Directors authorized the purchase of up to 30 million shares of the Company’s common stock, valued at approximately $2 billion when first announced. Shares may be purchased either in the open market or through privately held negotiated transactions. The Company initiated the program on June 10, 2013, with the repurchase of 2,924,271 shares at an average price of $85.47 during the month of June. The Company anticipates that further purchases will primarily be made with proceeds from asset dispositions, but the Company is not obligated to acquire any specific number of shares.

Dividends For the six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company paid $145 million and $123 million, respectively, in dividends on its common stock. In each of the first six months of 2013 and 2012, the Company also paid $38 million in dividends on its Series D Preferred Stock.

Equity Investment in YPHPL On January 31, 2012, a subsidiary of Apache Energy Limited completed the acquisition of a 49-percent interest in YPHPL (formerly Burrup Holdings Limited) for $439 million, including working capital adjustments. The transaction was funded with debt. The investment in YPHPL is accounted for under the equity method of accounting, with the balance recorded as a component of “Deferred charges and other” in Apache’s consolidated balance sheet and results of operations recorded as a component of “Other” under “Revenues and Other” in the Company’s statement of consolidated operations.

Cash and cash equivalents We had $184 million in cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2013, compared to $160 million at December 31, 2012. Approximately $179 million of the cash was held by foreign subsidiaries, with the remaining $5 million held by Apache Corporation and U.S. subsidiaries. The cash held by foreign subsidiaries is subject to additional U.S. income taxes if repatriated. Almost all of the cash is denominated in U.S. dollars and, at times, is invested in highly-liquid investment grade securities with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase.

Debt As of June 30, 2013, outstanding debt, which consisted of notes, debentures, commercial paper, and uncommitted bank lines, totaled $12.8 billion. Current debt includes $400 million 6.00-percent notes due in September 2013 and $78 million borrowed under uncommitted credit facilities and overdraft lines in the U.S., Canada, and Argentina. The $500 million 5.25-percent notes due in April 2013 were repaid using our commercial paper program.

Available committed borrowing capacity As of June 30, 2013, the Company had unsecured committed revolving syndicated bank credit facilities totaling $3.3 billion, of which $1.0 billion matures in August 2016 and $2.3 billion matures in June 2017. The facilities consist of a $1.7 billion facility and a $1.0 billion facility in the U.S., a $300 million facility in Australia, and a $300 million facility in Canada. In July 2013, we amended our $1.0 billion U.S. credit facility to conform certain representations, covenants, and events of

default to those in our $1.7 billion U.S. credit facility. The amendments did not affect the amount or repayment terms of the $1.0 billion U.S. facility. As of June 30, 2013, available borrowing capacity under the Company’s credit facilities was $1.9 billion. The Company’s committed credit facilities are used to support Apache’s commercial paper program.

The Company has available a $3.0 billion commercial paper program, which generally enables Apache to borrow funds for up to 270 days at competitive interest rates. The commercial paper program is fully supported by available borrowing capacity under committed credit facilities. As of June 30, 2013, the Company had $1.4 billion in commercial paper outstanding, compared with $489 million in commercial paper outstanding as of December 31, 2012.

The Company was in compliance with the terms of all credit facilities as of June 30, 2013.

Percent of total debt–to-capitalization The Company’s June 30, 2013 debt-to-capitalization ratio was 28 percent, unchanged from December 31, 2012.

Non-GAAP Measures

The Company makes reference to some measures in discussion of its financial and operating highlights that are not required by or presented in accordance with GAAP. Management uses these measures in assessing operating results and believes the presentation of these measures provides information useful in assessing the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered as alternatives to GAAP measures and may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly-titled measures used at other companies.

Adjusted Earnings

To assess the Company’s operating trends and performance, management uses Adjusted Earnings, which is net income excluding certain items that management believes affect the comparability of operating results. Management believes this presentation may be useful to investors who follow the practice of some industry analysts who adjust reported company earnings for items that may obscure underlying fundamentals and trends. The reconciling items below are the types of items management excludes and believes are frequently excluded by analysts when evaluating the operating trends and comparability of the Company’s results.

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 and political climate. Our average crude oil realizations have remained flat at $97.93 per barrel in the second quarter of 2013 from $97.66 per barrel in the comparable period of 2012. Our average natural gas price realizations have risen, increasing 10 percent to $3.87 per Mcf from $3.51 per Mcf in the comparable period of 2012.

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. For the second quarter and first six months of 2013, approximately 6 percent and 4 percent, respectively, of our natural gas production and approximately 42 percent and 41 percent, respectively, of our crude oil production was subject to financial derivatives. Apache does not hold or issue derivative instruments for trading purposes.

On June 30, 2013, the Company had open natural gas derivatives in an asset position with a fair value of $49 million. A 10-percent movement in natural gas prices would move the fair value by approximately $16 million. The Company also had open oil derivatives in an asset position with a fair value of $80 million. A 10-percent increase in oil prices would move the derivatives to a liability position of $611 million, while a 10-percent decrease in prices would increase the asset by approximately $688 million. These fair value changes assume volatility based on prevailing market parameters at June 30, 2013. See Note 3 – Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for notional volumes and terms associated with the Company’s derivative contracts.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company considers its interest rate risk exposure to be minimal as a result of fixing interest rates on approximately 88 percent of the Company’s debt. At June 30, 2013, total debt included $1.5 billion of floating-rate debt. As a result, Apache’s annual interest costs will fluctuate based on short-term interest rates on approximately 12 percent of our total debt outstanding at June 30, 2013. The impact on cash flow of a 10-percent change in the floating interest rate based on debt balances at June 30, 2013, would be approximately $363,000 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 combination of Australian dollar and U.S. dollar fixed-price contracts. Approximately half 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. Argentine revenues and expenditures are largely denominated in U.S. dollars but are converted into Argentine pesos at the time of payment. Revenue and disbursement transactions denominated in Australian dollars, Canadian dollars, British pounds, and Argentine pesos 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 10-percent strengthening or weakening of the Australian dollar, Canadian dollar, British pound, and Argentine peso as of June 30, 2013, would result in a foreign currency net loss or gain, respectively, of approximately $277 million.

ITEM 4 – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

G. Steven Farris, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, in his capacity as principal executive officer, and Thomas P. Chambers, the Company’s Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, in his capacity as principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2013, the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation and as of the date of that evaluation, these officers concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective, providing effective means to ensure that information we are required to disclose under applicable laws and regulations is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

We periodically review the design and effectiveness of our disclosure controls, including compliance with various laws and regulations that apply to our operations both inside and outside the United States. We make modifications to improve the design and effectiveness of our disclosure controls, and may take other corrective action, if our reviews identify deficiencies or weaknesses in our controls.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal controls over financial reporting during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Please refer to both Part I, Item 3 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 (filed with the SEC on March 1, 2013) and Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2013, for a description of material legal proceedings.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Please refer to the risk factors as previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, and as noted above in Part I, Item 3 of this Form 10-Q. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, Apache notes the following updated risk factor:

A deterioration of conditions in Egypt or changes in the economic and political environment in Egypt could have an adverse impact on our business.

In February 2011, the former Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak stepped down, and the Egyptian Supreme Council of the Armed Forces took power, announcing that it would remain in power until the presidential and parliamentary elections could be held. In June 2012, President Mohamed Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood’s Freedom and Justice Party was elected as Egypt’s new president, and in December 2012 the people of Egypt ratified a new constitution. In July 2013, the Egyptian military removed President Morsi from power and installed Egypt’s Chief Justice, Adly Mansour, as acting president of a temporary government, which is seeking to set a schedule for new parliamentary and presidential elections in 2014. Deterioration in the political, economic, and social conditions or other relevant policies of the Egyptian government, such as changes in laws or regulations, export restrictions, expropriation of our assets or resource nationalization, and/or forced renegotiation or modification of our existing contracts with EGPC could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Our operations in Egypt contributed 19 percent of our production for the six months ended June 30, 2013, 20 percent of our 2012 production, and accounted for 10 percent of our year-end estimated proved reserves. At year-end 2012, 17 percent of our estimated discounted future net cash flows and 7 percent of our net capitalized oil and gas property was attributable to Egypt.
