             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                            (Unaudited)


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

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

INCOME PER SHARE

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

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

Financial Results
- - -----------------

Apache reported first quarter 1994 earnings of $9.4 million, or $.15
per share, on total revenues of $121.6 million.  During the
comparable 1993 period, Apache realized net income of $11.6 million,
or $.24 per share, on total revenues of $108.6 million.  The
significant factor that contributed to lower earnings was a 30-
percent decline in oil prices from a year ago.  The first quarter's
1994 financial performance was impacted by the following items:

Acquisitions:

During the second half of 1993, Apache completed acquisitions which
impacted most aspects of the Company's financial statements.

      Hall-Houston - Apache acquired substantially all of Hall-
      Houston Oil Company's (Hall-Houston) producing properties in
      the Gulf of Mexico for $84.4 million and Hall-Houston's
      interest in Mustang Island 787 and 805 for $29.3 million.  The
      two transactions included interests in 63 producing fields and
      12 fields under development or awaiting pipeline connections. 
      
      HERC - Apache purchased Hadson Energy Resources Corporation
      (HERC) for approximately $98 million through a series of
      privately negotiated transactions and a merger approved with
      an affirmative vote by 66 2/3 percent of the HERC stockholders
      other than Apache.  In addition to its domestic and foreign
      proved properties, HERC held a 22.5 percent interest in a 60-
      mile, offshore pipeline and an interest in over 6 million
      gross (2.5 million, net) acres in the Carnarvon Basin located
      offshore Western Australia.

Oil and Gas Production and Pricing:

With posted oil prices declining since mid-1993 in response to
OPEC's failure to reduce its production quotas, Apache's average
realized oil price dropped by $5.58 per barrel from the first
quarter of 1993.  The 30-percent decline in price, after considering
amortization expense and income taxes, negatively impacted Apache's
first quarter earnings by approximately $.11 per share.

A five percent increase in the average gas prices combined with an
increase in production, due mainly to the acquisition of the Hall-
Houston and HERC properties, contributed to a 50-percent increase in
gas revenues.

Oil and gas production revenues for the first quarter of 1994
totaled $114.2 million, up 12 percent from the same period last
year.  A 30-percent increase in equivalent production and five-
percent improvement in gas prices more than offset the impact of
lower oil prices on revenues from a year ago.

Higher production, reflecting both acquisitions and drilling, and a
$.10 per thousand cubic feet (Mcf) increase in Apache's average gas
price from a year ago contributed to first quarter natural gas sales
rising to $72.8 million.  Gas sales for the quarter were up $24.4
million, or 50 percent, from last year's sales.  The HERC and Hall-
Houston acquisitions added a total of 79 million cubic feet per day
(MMcfd) to Apache's first quarter production for a total of 386.9
MMcfd.  Developmental drilling and recompletions in Matagorda Island
properties in the Gulf of Mexico and the Permian Basin also
increased the Company's production by 41 MMcfd.  Spot market gas
prices continued to rise as cold weather in the northeastern United
States and a reduction in volumes available from gas storage
facilities increased the demand for natural gas.  The five-percent
increase over the prior year in Apache's average price of natural
gas to $2.09 per Mcf favorably impacted 1994 sales by $3.6 million.

First quarter oil sales of $40.1 million declined $11.7 million, or
23 percent, from the comparable period in 1993 as a result of lower
oil prices.  With a decline in posted prices and the expiration of
a hedging agreement on certain oil production acquired from Amoco in
1991, Apache's average oil price declined from $18.43 in the first<PAGE>
quarter of 1993 to $12.85 in the current period.  A 3,429 barrels
per day (Bopd) increase in Apache's daily oil production from a year
ago partially offset the $17.4 million revenue decrease attributable
to lower prices.  Apache's first quarter oil production rose to
34,647 Bopd, with 4,600 Bopd coming from the HERC and Hall-Houston
acquisitions.  These increases in production were partially offset
by Grant Canyon wells watering-out.

Revenues from the sale of natural gas liquids and sulfur for the
first quarter of 1994 totaled $1.3 million.  Lower natural gas
liquid prices contributed to the $.2 million decline from a year ago
as lower crude oil prices depressed gas liquid prices.

First quarter gathering, processing and marketing revenues of $6.8
million were up 11 percent from the comparable period in 1993 while
the operating margin decreased by $.5 million.  The first quarter of
1993 included results of operations from Apache's interest in a
western Oklahoma gathering system and processing plant which was
sold effective March 31, 1993.  This gathering and processing
operation required a greater investment and generated a higher
operating margin relative to sales than Apache's current oil and gas
marketing activities.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization (DD&A) expense for the
first quarter of 1994 totaled $51.3 million compared to $38.8
million a year ago, a 32-percent increase.  DD&A expense for
domestic oil and gas properties rose as a result of an increase in
oil and gas sales and an increase in Apache's domestic amortization
rate, expressed as a percentage of sales, from 36.9 percent in 1993
to 43.1 percent in 1994.  Lower oil prices from a year ago and the
higher costs associated with the acquisition of offshore properties,
combined to increase Apache's domestic rate for the first quarter of
1994.  Higher costs for offshore reserves reflect Apache's
expectations of more rapid payouts associated with generally shorter
reserve lives found in Gulf of Mexico properties. 

Reflecting the impact of acquisitions, operating costs for the first
quarter of 1994 rose 13 percent from a year ago to $33.1 million. 
Operating costs include lifting costs, workover expense, production
taxes and severance taxes. Based on an equivalent unit of
production, operating costs declined 13 percent in 1994 to $3.72 per
barrel of oil equivalent (boe).  The unit cost decline reflects
continued cost savings efforts and the addition of offshore
properties which are not subject to production taxes and
traditionally have lower unit lifting costs.

First quarter administrative, selling and other costs declined two
percent in total from a year ago, while dropping 24 percent on a Boe
basis.  Apache has assimilated the HERC and Hall-Houston
acquisitions with minimal increases in administrative staff.

Net financing costs for the quarter declined $1.2 million, or 17
percent, from the first quarter of 1993.  The $1.2 million reduction
in net financing costs was largely attributable to replacing the
$150 million of 7 1/2 percent debentures with bank debt accruing
interest at approximately 4.2 percent.  The $150 million of
debentures converted to equity was subsequently replaced with bank<PAGE>
debt drawn to fund acquisitions.  Due to the replacement of the 7
1/2 percent debentures with bank debt, Apache's average interest
rate declined from approximately 6.1 percent in the first quarter of
1993 to approximately 5.1 percent in the current period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

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

Expenditures for exploration and development increased to $68.7
million for the first quarter of 1994 from $42.5 million during the
comparable period last year.  Apache has completed 55 producing
wells out of 64 gross domestic wells drilled this year. This
compares to 35 wells completed out of 49 gross domestic wells
drilled during the first quarter of 1993.  At the end of March 1994,
there were another 30 wells in various stages of drilling with
results expected by mid-year.

Apache's acquisitions in the first quarter of 1994 were relatively
small at $4.5 million as compared to $13.9 million in 1993.  The
acquisitions were primarily purchases of additional working interest
in existing Apache properties.

Other capital expenditures for 1994 were $1.5 million as compared to
$18.8 million in 1993.  The 1993 expenditures included the purchase
of NGC's interest in the western Oklahoma gas gathering system which
was subsequently sold in a transaction discussed under Capital
Resources.

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

Capital Resources

Apache's primary capital resources are net cash provided by
operating activities, unused borrowing capacity under the Company's
revolving bank credit facility, proceeds from other financing
activities and proceeds from the sale of non-strategic assets.  Net
cash provided by operating activities totaled $56.4 million during
the first quarter of 1994 compared to $13.6 million for the same
period last year.  The 314-percent improvement in cash flows
primarily reflects increased gas production, higher gas prices and
reduced interest costs from a year ago.  In addition, 1993 net cash
provided by operating activities was reduced by $20.1 million for
the repayment of advances on gas contracts.

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

Also in March 1993, Apache completed the public offering of
approximately 5.8 million shares of common stock for net proceeds of
$131.8 million.  In April 1993, Apache applied the proceeds of the
equity offering to repay all outstanding debt under the revolving
bank credit.  As of March 31, 1994, the Company had reborrowed $282
million, largely to fund the purchase of Hall-Houston properties and
the HERC acquisition.

During the quarter, Apache increased its outstanding debt by $39.2
million to fund the purchase of the outstanding HERC common stock
and other working capital requirements.

Liquidity

The Company had $17.2 million in cash equivalents on hand at March
31, 1994, up slightly from the $17.1 million at the end of 1993. 
The Company's ratio of current assets to current liabilities at
year-end of .8:1 was virtually unchanged from year-end 1993.

Management believes that cash on hand, net cash generated from
operations and unused available borrowing capacity under the
revolving credit facility of $118 million at March 31, 1994 will be
adequate to meet future liquidity needs for the next two fiscal
years, including satisfying the Company's financial obligations and
funding exploration and development operations and routine
acquisitions.

Future Trends

Apache intends to continue increasing production and reserves
through drilling and property acquisitions.  Apache is in the
process of amending its bank credit facility.  The size of the
facility is expected to increase from $400 million to $700 million,
subject to borrowing base availability.  The current borrowing base
is expected to increase from $400 million to $450 million.  These
increases will enhance Apache's ability to pursue growth
opportunities.  Spot market natural gas prices remain volatile and
continue to behave independent of historical seasonal patterns. 
Spot market oil prices, which are especially vulnerable to complex
and unpredictable political and economic forces, have improved since
the end of the first quarter 1994, but are expected to remain
volatile.
