This amendment is filed by the registrant, Apache Corporation
("Apache"), to remove from registration shares of Apache Common Stock, par
value $1.25 per share ("Apache Common Stock"), and Associated Rights.
Initially, 1,145,765 shares of Apache Common Stock, and the Associated
Rights, were registered in connection with (1) a proposed merger between Hadson
Energy Resources Corporation ("HERC") and a subsidiary of Apache, and (2) a
concurrent tender offer by Apache to acquire shares of the common stock of
HERC. On November 12, 1993, the merger was approved at a special meeting of
the HERC stockholders, and HERC stockholders became entitled to receive merger
consideration of $15.00 for each share, payable in cash or in a fraction of a
share of Apache Common Stock, calculated over a 20-day period preceding the
effective date to have a value of $15.00. All HERC stockholders not
affirmatively electing to receive Apache Common Stock prior to February 1,
1994, will receive the merger consideration in cash.
A total of 307,977 shares of Apache Common Stock, and Associated
Rights, were issued in connection with this transaction. Accordingly, 837,788
shares of Apache Common Stock, and Associated Rights, are hereby removed from
registration.
