NOTICE TO INVESTORS
This earnings release operations supplement contains certain "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 and, whenever
possible, are identified by use of the words such as “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “seeks,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects” and
similar references to future periods. Any matters that are not historical facts are forward-looking and, accordingly, involve
estimates, assumptions, risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation, our assumptions and estimates about the market
prices of oil, natural gas, NGLs and other products or services, our commodity hedging arrangements, the supply and demand for oil,
natural gas, NGLs and other products or services, production and reserve levels, drilling risks, the number of wells drilled, economic
and competitive conditions, the availability of capital resources, capital expenditure and other contractual obligations, and our
ability to complete, test and produce the wells identified in this supplement. Because such statements involve risks and
uncertainties, Apache’s actual results and performance may differ materially from the results expressed or implied by the forwardlooking statements contained in this supplement. Other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from
expected results are described in “Risk Factors” in our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K, recent Quarterly Reports on
Form 10-Q and amendments thereto, available on our Web site and in our other public filings and press releases. There is no
assurance that Apache's expectations will be realized, and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward looking
statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. Unless otherwise required by law, we assume no duty to update these
statements as of any future date.
Cautionary Note to Investors: The United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") permits oil and gas companies, in their
filings with the SEC, to disclose only proved, probable, and possible reserves that meet the SEC's definitions for such terms. Apache
may use certain terms in this earnings release operations supplement, such as “resources,” “potential resources,” “resource
potential,” “reserves potential,” and other similar terms that the SEC guidelines strictly prohibit Apache from including in filings with
the SEC. Such terms do not take into account the certainty of resource recovery, which is contingent on exploration success,
technical improvements in drilling access, commerciality and other factors, and are therefore not indicative of expected future
resource recovery and should not be relied upon. Investors are urged to consider carefully the disclosure in Apache’s Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, available from Apache at www.apachecorp.com or by writing Apache at:
2000 Post Oak Blvd., Suite 100, Houston, Texas 77056 (Attn: Corporate Secretary). You can also obtain this report from the SEC by
calling 1-800-SEC-0330 or from the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
Certain information may be provided in this supplement that includes financial measurements that are not required by, or presented
in accordance with, generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), including these measures: adjusted earnings, pre-tax margin,
and cash from operations. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered as alternatives to GAAP measures, such as net
income or cash from operating activities, and may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly
titled measures used at other companies. Reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure has been provided
on our website at www.apachecorp.com/financialdata.
None of the information contained in this document has been audited by any independent auditor. This supplemental document is
prepared as a convenience for securities analysts and investors and may be useful as a reference tool. Apache intends to continue
to publish this supplement in conjunction with our quarterly earnings release, but may elect to modify the format or discontinue
publication at any time, without notice to securities analysts or investors.

Fourth-quarter 2014 production in the North Sea was 80,806 Boe/d,
up 24 percent from the third-quarter 2014 due to a successful
drilling program, “best in class” production efficiency, and recovery
from third-quarter annual maintenance. Production of 80,806 Boe/d
is the highest quarterly production rate in Apache North Sea history.
During the fourth quarter, the region operated an average of six
drilling rigs and drilled five net wells with a 100 percent success rate.
Two of those wells are waiting on completion and will come on
production early 2015.
 In Forties, the T75 well encountered 144 feet of net oil pay in
the Bravo channel and achieved an initial 30-day production
rate of 3,564 Bo/d. This is the thickest net pay drilled by
Apache in the Forties field to date.
 The second well, at the Forties Alpha Satellite Platform (FASP),
T52, encountered 68 feet of net oil pay and achieved an initial
30 day production rate of 3,318 Bo/d.
Two semi-submersible rigs, the Ocean Patriot and WilPhoenix, will
be deployed in the greater Beryl area during 2015 and will drill
three wells each.
The UK government is reviewing the fiscal regime to encourage
investment in the basin. In the fourth-quarter 2014, the cluster

The Berenice-1X prospect drilled a 1,000-acre, fault trap with 100 to 200 feet of closure at multiple objective
levels. The well reached a total depth of 14,100 feet in the Paleozoic Basur formation and encountered oil pay in
the AEB-3 and Safa formations. Production began in November 2014 with daily oil rates holding steady at more
than 3,400 Bo/d with a well-head flowing pressure of 900 psi.
Berenice-1X was successfully appraised with the Berenice-2 well in the AEB-6 formation.
SHUSHAN BASIN

A significant discovery was made by the Ptah-1X in the Shushan Basin that targeted a separate culmination along
the same Berenice fault block. The well encountered significant pay in the AEB-3E and Paleozoic Shifah formations.
The Ptah-1X began producing from the Paleozoic on a restricted choke at a rate of over 2,100 Bo/d.
