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 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 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/A.
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.
SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURE OF CASH FLOW INFORMATION
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments
purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash
equivalents. These investments are carried at cost which
approximates market.
The following table provides additional disclosure of cash
payments (in thousands):

ACQUISITIONS
Aquila -
In September 1995, Apache Corporation, a Delaware corporation
(Apache or the Company), acquired substantially all of the oil and
gas assets of Aquila Energy Resources Corporation (Aquila) for
approximately $192 million plus related transaction costs. The
acquired assets, accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting, include: proved and probable reserves totaling an
estimated 239 billion cubic feet (Bcf) of gas equivalent,
approximately 107,000 developed and 49,000 undeveloped net acres
located primarily in Apache's Anadarko-Basin and Gulf of Mexico
core areas; a five-year, four-month premium gas contract effective
September 1, 1995; and non-operated interests in four gas
processing plants. The gas contract calls for Aquila to purchase
20 to 25 million cubic feet (MMcf) of gas per day from Apache at a
price of $2.70 per thousand cubic feet (Mcf) in 1996, escalating to
$3.20 per Mcf in the year 2000.
Proved reserves on the Aquila transaction include an estimated six
million barrels of oil and 121 Bcf of natural gas. The properties
contain an estimated 80 drilling locations, half of which are
located in Apache's core, deep-Springer play in the Anadarko Basin,
where 17 of the Company's last 17 wells drilled have been
productive.
At the time of acquisition, the Aquila properties were producing
approximately 67 MMcf of gas and 2,900 barrels of oil per day.
Apache expects that to rise by year-end as a result of additional
development drilling. Approximately 77 percent of the Aquila
properties' proved reserves are concentrated in the top seven
fields and 77 percent of the properties' net production will be
operated by Apache.
DEKALB -
On May 17, 1995, Apache acquired DEKALB Energy Company (DEKALB, now
known as DEK Energy Company), an oil and gas company engaged in the
exploration for, and the development of, crude oil and natural gas
in Canada, through a merger which resulted in DEKALB becoming a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Apache. Pursuant to the merger
agreement, 8.4 million shares of Apache common stock were exchanged
for the outstanding DEKALB stock and stock options. The merger was
accounted for as a "pooling of interests." As a result, the
Company's financial statements for periods prior to the merger have
been restated to include combined results with DEKALB. In
connection with the DEKALB merger, Apache adopted the units-of-
production method of computing depreciation, depletion and
amortization (DD&A) in lieu of the future gross revenue method.
The conforming adjustments for DD&A and other reclassifications to
conform financial statement presentation have been reflected
retroactively in the combined financial statements presented.
<PAGE>
A reconciliation of the previously reported separate results as
compared to the restated combined results, is set forth below.

Texaco -
On March 1, 1995, Apache completed the acquisition of 315 oil and
gas fields from Texaco Exploration and Production Inc. (Texaco) for
an adjusted purchase price of $564 million. The acquisition of the
Texaco properties, accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting, is included in the financial statements of the Company
since the date of the acquisition. The following unaudited pro
forma financial information shows the pro forma effect on the
Company's consolidated results of operations as if the acquisition
was effective on January 1, 1994. The pro forma data presented is

DIVESTITURES
In September 1995, Apache closed the sale of non-strategic oil and
gas properties in its Rocky Mountain region for approximately $140
million net to Apache. The assets included Apache's interests in
138 fields with approximately 1,600 active wells in Colorado,
Montana, North and South Dakota, Utah and Wyoming. The Company
retained its interests in the Green River Basin of Colorado and
Wyoming and in the San Juan Basin of Colorado and New Mexico.
Proceeds received were segregated and used to complete a deferred
like-kind exchange transaction with the Aquila properties for tax
purposes.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FINANCIAL RESULTS
Apache reported net income of $7 million, or $.10 per share, for
the third quarter of 1995 compared to $12.4 million, or $.18 per
share, for the same period last year. The reduction in earnings
for the current quarter reflected lower realized gas prices and
higher financing costs. Apache's third quarter average gas price
was down 11 percent from a year ago, negatively impacting revenues
by $10.1 million and net income by $.08 per share.
Earnings for the first nine months of 1995 totaled $11.7 million,
or $.17 per share, compared to $33.5 million, or $.48 per share,
during the first nine months of 1994. Lower gas prices compared to
a year ago negatively impacted earnings by $.48 per share, whereas
higher oil prices positively affected earnings by $.21 per share
for the period. Apache's earnings for the first nine months of
1995 were reduced also by a non-recurring pre-tax charge of
approximately $10 million associated with Apache's merger with
DEKALB Energy Company (DEKALB, now know as DEK Energy Company).
The merger costs reduced 1995 net income by $8.7 million, or $.12
per share.

Third quarter gas sales of $77.8 million decreased $.1 million from
the comparable period a year ago as lower gas prices more than
offset higher deliveries. Gas production of 568.2 million cubic
feet per day (MMcfd) for the third quarter of 1995 increased 64.5
MMcfd, or 13 percent, from prior year levels, favorably impacting
sales by approximately $10 million. Domestic gas production
increased 13 percent in the third quarter of 1995 compared to the
same period of 1994. The impact of new spot sales contracts boosted
Australian gas production 29 percent over last year's levels.
<PAGE>
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - (Continued)
The properties acquired from Texaco Exploration and Production, Inc.
(Texaco) on March 1, 1995 and Crystal Oil Company (Crystal) in late
1994 added approximately 58 MMcfd and 20 MMcfd, respectively, while
the properties acquired from Aquila Energy Resources Corporation
(Aquila) added approximately 22 MMcfd to the quarter's production
with one month of sales.
For the first nine months of 1995, gas sales of $233.7 million
declined $3.4 million, or one percent, from the same period a year
ago. Apache's production increased 105.4 MMcfd, or 23 percent, from
the nine month period of 1994, primarily the result of the
acquisitions of the Texaco and Crystal properties. The increased
volumes resulted in additional gas sales of $53.4 million. Apache's
realized gas price for the first nine months of 1995 of $1.49 per
thousand cubic feet (Mcf), dropped $.37 per Mcf, or 20 percent as
compared to last year. The decline in price negatively impacted
sales by $56.8 million.
For the third quarter of 1995, oil sales of $79.7 million increased
$19.8 million from the prior year period as a result of increased
production. Apache's oil production of 51.8 thousand barrels of oil
per day (MBopd) for the third quarter of 1995 increased 13.4 MBopd
compared to the same period of 1994. The 35-percent increase in oil
production was primarily the result of Apache acquiring properties
from Texaco (17 MBopd), Crystal (1.7 MBopd) and Aquila (.7 MBopd),
partially offset by the sale of certain of Apache's Rocky Mountain
properties (2.7 MBopd) and natural depletion. The increase in oil
volumes boosted sales by $20.8 million compared to a year ago.
Oil production of 51 MBopd for the first nine months of 1995
increased 13.5 MBopd, or 36 percent, compared to the comparable 1994
period. Increased oil production for the nine month period added
$56.5 million to sales as compared to last year. Apache's realized
oil price for the first nine months of 1995 of $17.04 per barrel was
$1.75 per barrel more than a year ago. The 11-percent increase in
realized oil price positively impacted sales by $24.3 million.
Many full cost companies, including Apache, are concerned about the
impact of prolonged unfavorable prices on their "ceiling test"
calculations. Gas prices realized for the third quarter of 1995
were 11 percent below the realized price for the same period of
1994. In addition, third quarter oil and gas prices were $.76 per
barrel and $.03 per Mcf, respectively, below the net realized
prices for the second quarter of 1995. Oil and gas producers that
conduct their financial reporting under the full cost accounting
rules are subject to Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules
that require quarterly ceiling test calculations. This test
requires a writedown when the capitalized cost of oil and gas
properties exceeds the present value of proved reserves, plus the
lower of cost or market value for unproved properties. The test is
applied at the end of each fiscal quarter on a country-by-country
basis, and requires a writedown if the "ceiling" is exceeded, even
if prices decline only for a short period of time. A further
deterioration of gas or oil prices could result in the Company
recording a non-cash charge to earnings related to its oil and gas
properties.
Revenues from the sale of natural gas liquids for the third quarter
and first nine months of 1995 totaled $2 million and $6.5 million,
respectively. Higher natural gas liquid prices contributed to the
$.5 million increase in sales for the comparable nine month period.
<PAGE>
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - (Continued)
Gathering, processing and marketing revenues of $18.5 million for
the third quarter and $69.8 million for the first nine months of
1995 were 56 percent and 139 percent, respectively, higher than last
year's revenues. The increase in revenues reflects increased
volumes of purchase and resale transactions by Apache's oil and gas
marketing subsidiaries. These transactions generally carry a low
margin. Operating margins of $2.3 million for the third quarter of
1995 and $5.4 million for the first nine months of 1995 were $1
million and $1.6 million, respectively, higher than the comparable
periods in 1994.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization (DD&A) expense of $74.6
million for the third quarter of 1995 and $223.3 million for the
first nine months of 1995 increased 13 percent and 19 percent,
respectively, over the comparable periods last year due to increased
oil and gas production. Apache's DD&A expense for the third quarter
declined from $5.78 per barrel of oil equivalent (Boe) in 1994 to
$5.46 per Boe in 1995 due to the impact of the Texaco transaction.
While there were no impairments in 1995, international impairments
totaled $1 million and $7.3 million, respectively, for the third
quarter and first nine months of 1994.
Operating costs rose $15.7 million, or 40 percent, to $54.4 million
for the third quarter and $45 million, or 41 percent, to $154.9
million year-to-date from the comparable periods in 1994 due
primarily to the impact of Apache's acquisitions. Operating costs
include lifting costs, workover expense, production taxes and
severance taxes. Based on an equivalent unit of production,
operating costs increased $.59 per Boe to $3.98 per Boe for the
third quarter of 1995 and $.39 per Boe to $3.82 per Boe for the nine
month period. The increase in unit cost reflects the high
percentage of oil properties included in the Texaco transaction, as
oil properties typically have a higher per unit cost than gas
properties.
For the third quarter of 1995, administrative, selling and other
costs of $7.7 million dropped 12 percent, or $1.1 million, from the
comparable 1994 period while year-to-date costs of $27.8 million
declined two percent. When compared to the third quarter of 1994,
the third quarter of 1995 reflects reduced levels of general and
administrative expense coupled with increased foreign currency
translation gains relating to Apache's Canadian operations. On a
Boe basis, costs for the third quarter and first nine months of 1995
of $.57 per Boe and $.69 per Boe, respectively, declined $.20 per
Boe and $.19 per Boe from the like periods of 1994, respectively,
due to the increase in production from acquisitions and drilling.
Net financing costs for the third quarter of 1995 of $19.3 million
increased $10.2 million, or 112 percent, from the same period in
1994 due to additional debt used to finance the Texaco transaction
and higher interest rates. For the nine months of 1995, net
financing costs of $54.9 million increased $30.4 million, or 124
percent, as compared to a year ago.

CASH FLOW, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Capital Commitments
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 flows.
Expenditures for exploration and development totaled $225.6 million
during the first nine months of 1995 compared to $256.8 million
during the same period a year ago. In the first nine months of
1995, Apache completed 91 of 135 gross wells as producers, while the
Company completed 166 of 207 gross wells as producers in the same
period in 1994. Domestic drilling expenditures are down from a year
ago as Apache used funds for acquisitions and debt reduction.
Outside of North America, exploration expenditures totaled $47
million for the first nine months of 1995. These international
expenditures focused in three areas: Australia ($20 million), China
($16 million) and Egypt ($7 million). In the first nine months of
1994, expenditures outside of North America amounted to $20.5
million. In September 1995, Apache announced successful tests of
its C-3 appraisal well on Bohai Bay's Zhao Dong Block, offshore the
Peoples Republic of China. Further evaluation is necessary to
determine the area's commercial potential. Apache's total
expenditures for exploration and development in 1995 are expected to
be approximately $290 million.
Property acquisitions for cash during the first nine months of 1995
totaled $745 million as compared to $71.1 million for the same
period of 1994. On March 1, 1995, Apache purchased certain oil and
gas assets from Texaco for an adjusted purchase price of $564
million. In addition to the properties acquired for cash during the
first nine months of 1995, the Company issued 8.4 million shares of
common stock to acquire DEKALB in a transaction accounted for as a
pooling of interests. In September 1995, Apache closed the purchase
of oil and gas assets from Aquila for approximately $192 million,
subject to additional purchase price adjustments. The Aquila
transaction was partially funded by a public offering of 7.45
million shares of Apache common stock. See "Acquisitions" in the
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Capital Resources and Liquidity
Apache's primary capital resources are net cash provided by
operating activities, unused borrowing capacity under the Company's
revolving bank credit facility and proceeds from the sale of non-
strategic assets. Net cash provided by operating activities totaled
$200.3 million and $232.8 million for the first nine months of 1995
and 1994, respectively.
On January 4, 1995, the Company completed the issuance of $172.5
million principal amount of its 6-percent Convertible Subordinated
Debentures due 2002, which are convertible into Apache common stock
at a conversion price of $30.68 per share. Net proceeds were used to
reduce bank debt, provide funds for acquisitions and general
corporate purposes. Apache filed a registration statement in
September 1995, with respect to resales of underlying shares of
<PAGE>
CASH FLOW, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - (Continued)
Apache common stock, which has been declared effective by the SEC.
The 6-percent debentures have not been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933 and may not be offered or sold in the United
States absent registration or an applicable exemption from such
registration requirements. Costs associated with the issue of the
6-percent debentures totaled $4.4 million.
On March 1, 1995, the Company's revolving bank credit facility was
amended and restated, increasing it from $700 million to $1 billion.
The credit facility matures on March 1, 2000, and may be extended in
one-year increments with the lenders' consent. Based on the
Company's ratio of debt to total capital, the interest rate margin
over LIBOR at September 30, 1995 was 1.125 percent. The Company
also pays a facility fee based on its ratio of debt to total
capital. The facility fee at September 30, 1995 was .375 percent of
the available portion of the commitment and .1875 percent of the
unavailable portion. Based on the Company's September 30, 1995
ratio of debt to total capital of 49.6 percent, the interest rate
margin on LIBOR will be reduced from 1.125 percent to .50 percent in
mid-November 1995. The facility fee will also be reduced on that
date to .25 percent of the available portion of the commitment and
.125 percent of the unavailable portion. As of September 30, 1995,
the available portion of the commitment was $686 million, of which
$611 million was outstanding. Costs associated with the amendment
of the credit facility totaled $7.2 million. At September 30, 1995,
Apache had a total of $1,057.9 million in long-term debt
outstanding, up $338.8 million from the end of 1994.
As part of its previously announced plans to sell lower-margin and
non-strategic properties, Apache closed the sale of certain of its
Rocky Mountain properties to the Citation 1994 Investment Limited
Partnership for approximately $140 million in September 1995. The
assets sold included Apache's interest in 138 fields with
approximately 1,600 active wells located in Colorado, Montana, North
Dakota, South Dakota, Utah and Wyoming. During the first nine
months of 1995, Apache received nearly $222 million from sales of
oil and gas properties.
On September 27, 1995, Apache closed an equity offering of 7.45
million shares of Apache common stock at $27.375 per share.
Proceeds, approximately $192 million net of transaction costs, were
used to repay existing indebtedness under the Company's revolving
bank credit facility, to finance the Aquila transaction and for
general corporate purposes.
The Company had $16.5 million in cash equivalents on hand at
September 30, 1995, down from $30 million at the end of 1994. On
the same date, the Company's ratio of current assets to current
liabilities of 1:1 remained unchanged from year-end 1994.
Management believes that cash on hand, net cash provided by
operating activities, and unused available borrowing capacity under
the revolving bank credit facility of $75 million at September 30,
1995, will be adequate to meet future liquidity needs for the next
two fiscal years, including satisfaction of the Company's financial
obligations and funding of exploration and development operations as
well as routine acquisitions.
<PAGE>
FUTURE TRENDS
In October 1995, Apache, Oryx Energy Company and Parker & Parsley
Petroleum Company, announced their formation of Producers Energy
Marketing, LLC (ProEnergy), a natural gas marketing company
organized to create a direct link between gas producers and
purchasers. The marketing company is designed to purchase and sell
producer-owned gas directly into the marketplace and provide
expanded services and value to its customers. ProEnergy anticipates
full operations to begin during the first quarter of 1996.
While Apache believes that the aggregation of substantial volumes
of gas through ProEnergy will provide more opportunity for the
Company to capture the downstream value of its natural gas, it
expects prices will remain volatile. The Company is not in a
position to predict future oil and gas prices, which can fluctuate
widely due to supply and demand perceptions.
Apache has continually followed a practice of expanding and
upgrading its reserves through a combination of exploratory and
development drilling, workovers and recompletions and upgrading its
production base by disposing of lower-margin and non-strategic
properties. Apache will continue to review acquisition opportunities
which are additive to earnings and cash flow, and to review its
capital structure to maximize shareholders' return and maintain
financial flexibility.
As a result of transactions completed during the quarter, Apache
expects to realize cost savings in the form of lower interest
expense and reduced operating costs. The reduction of debt
achieved with the property divestitures will reduce interest
expense approximately $.8 million per month. Following the periodic
borrowing base redetermination completed on October 27, 1995,
interest will decline approximately an additional $.2 million per
month as a result of the Company's debt to total capitalization
falling below 50 percent. Lease operating costs on a per unit
basis are expected to decline as a result of the sale of certain of
Apache's Rocky Mountain properties, which averaged $4.95 per Boe of
operating costs as compared to a Company average of $3.29 per Boe.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The information set forth in Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements contained in the registrant's Form 10-K/A for the year
ended December 31, 1994 (filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on August 2, 1995) is incorporated herein by reference.
ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES
None.
ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES
None.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
None.
ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
On September 30, 1995, the Company's contract with Natural Gas
Clearinghouse (NGC) terminated and Apache began to market all of
its own natural gas, including the natural gas previously marketed
by NGC. The price at which Apache is marketing its natural gas is
substantially the same as was received from NGC.
On October 27, 1995, wholly-owned affiliates of Apache, Orxy
Energy Company and Parker & Parsley Petroleum Company formed
Producers Energy Marketing, LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company (ProEnergy). Until operations of ProEnergy are begun,
Apache will continue to market its own natural gas. Once fully
operational, ProEnergy will market substantially all of such
members' natural gas and natural gas liquids pursuant to member
gas purchase agreements having an initial term of ten years,
subject to early termination following specified events. The
price of gas purchased by ProEnergy from its members will be based
upon agreed indexes. ProEnergy will also provide certain contract
administration and other services.
ProEnergy's limited liability company agreement provides that
capital funding obligations, allocations of profit and loss and
voting rights be calculated based upon the members' respective
throughputs of natural gas sold to ProEnergy. Members' liability
with respect to future capital funding obligations are subject to
certain limitations. Natural gas throughputs will be calculated,
profit distributed, and/or capital called on a quarterly basis.
Apache is currently the holder of a majority interest in
ProEnergy.
