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 (the "Common Stock"), and associated Common Stock Purchase
Rights (the "Rights").
On August 28, 1995, Apache registered 7,820,000 shares of the Common
Stock and Rights for issuance and sale in an underwritten public offering (the
"Offering") and on September 19, 1995, Apache increased the size of the
Offering to a total of 8,567,500 shares of Common Stock and Rights. The
Offering was closed on September 27, 1995, and Apache was subsequently advised
by the underwriters that the option for additional shares of Common Stock and
Rights to cover over-allotments would not be exercised.
A total of 7,450,000 shares of Common Stock and Rights were issued in
connection with the Offering. Accordingly, 1,117,500 shares of Common Stock
and Rights are hereby removed from registration.
