APACHE OFFSHORE INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIP
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
(Unaudited)



	The financial statements included herein have been prepared by the 
Apache Offshore Investment Partnership (Partnership), 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 Partnership 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 Partnership's latest annual report on Form 10-K.

OTHER ACCRUED EXPENSES

	Accrued expenses payable at June 30, 1996, primarily represented 
operating costs accrued in May and June that will be paid in July.

PAYABLE TO APACHE

	The payable to Apache Corporation (Apache) represents the net 
estimated result of the Investing Partners' revenue and expenditure 
transactions in the current month.  Cash in this amount will normally be 
transferred to/from Apache in the following month after the Partnership's 
transactions are processed and the net results of operations are determined.

RIGHT OF PRESENTMENT

	In February 1994, an amendment to the Partnership Agreement created a 
right of presentment under which all Investing Partners now have a limited 
and voluntary right to offer their Units to the Partnership twice each year 
to be repurchased for cash.  The first right of presentment offer for 1996 
of $10,698 per Unit, plus interest to the date of payment, was made to the 
Investing Partners on April 29, 1996.  As a result, the Partnership 
acquired 12.667 Units for a total of $141,732 in cash.  The Amended 
Partnership Agreement contains limitations on the number of Units that the 
Partnership can repurchase, including a limit of 10 percent of the 
outstanding Units on an annual basis.  However, had all Units been 
tendered, the total repurchase price would have been $14.2 million.  As 
provided in the Amended Partnership Agreement, Investing Partner's will 
have a second right of presentment during the fourth quarter of 1996, based 
on a valuation date of June 30, 1996.  The Partnership is not in a position 
to predict how many Units will be presented for repurchase during 1996 and 
cannot, at this time, determine if the Partnership will have sufficient 
funds available for repurchasing Units.

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

	The Partnership realized record cash flows for the quarter and six 
months ended June 30, 1996, as compared with any quarter or six month 
period in its history.  Earnings were the highest since the first quarter 
of 1994, and the quarter ended June 30, 1996 was the Partnership's third 
best quarter in its 12 year existence.  These results were driven by record 
gas prices and increased production, primarily attributable to the 
successful workover program the Partnership completed last year.  With the 
level of cash flow achieved, the Partnership was able to repay $4.8 
million, or 65 percent, of its outstanding debt.  The Partnership has also, 
through June 30, 1996, accumulated $1 million in cash toward funding an 
anticipated Limited Partner distribution to be made in the fourth quarter 
of 1996.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Income and Revenue

	The Partnership reported 1996 second quarter net income of $3.0 
million, or $1,882 per Investing Partner unit.  The 1996 second quarter 
income was 126 percent higher than the $1.3 million, or $766 per Investing 
Partner unit, reported in the second quarter of 1995.  Earnings for the 
first six months of 1996 totaled $6.1 million compared to $2.7 million 
during the first half of 1995, an increase of 123 percent.  The primary 
factors contributing to both second quarter and year-to-date earnings were 
increases in realized oil and gas prices and gas production.

	Oil and gas sales for the second quarter of 1996 increased 60 percent 
to $4.8 million compared to the second quarter of 1995.  For the first six 
months of 1996, oil and gas sales of $9.8 million were 69 percent higher 
than the same period in 1995.  These increases were due to increases in 
average realized oil and gas prices and oil and gas production. While oil 
and gas prices are currently higher than amounts realized a year ago, the 
Partnership is not in a position to predict future prices.

	The Partnership's oil and gas production volume and price information 
is summarized in the following tables:

second quarter of 1995.  This increase resulted in a $1.4 million increase in 
revenue.  For the first six months of 1996, average realized gas prices 
were up 66 percent, to $2.48 per Mcf, when compared to the same period in 
1995.  Sales revenues for the first half of 1996 were positively impacted 
by $3.1 million as a result of the increase in average realized gas prices 
over the same period last year.

	In the second quarter of 1996, a $2.74 per barrel increase in the 
Partnership's average realized oil price, as compared to the second quarter 
of 1995, positively impacted sales by $.1 million.  During the first half 
of 1996, oil revenues were positively impacted by $.2 million due to a 12-
percent increase in average realized oil prices, to $19.48 per barrel.

	Second quarter gas production increased 13 percent when compared to 
the second quarter of 1995.  For the first six months of 1996, oil and gas 
production increased 10 percent and 11 percent, respectively, when compared 
to the same period a year ago. Production increases in the second quarter 
and the first half of 1996 are primarily attributable to capital 
expenditures made during 1995.  During 1995, the Partnership completed a 
capital workover program, primarily focused in the North Padre Island, Ship 
Shoal 259, South Timbalier 295 and High Island A-6 properties.  Given the 
small number of producing wells owned by the Partnership, and the fact that 
offshore wells tend to decline on a steeper curve than onshore wells, the 
Partnership's future production will be subject to more volatility than 
those entities with greater reserves and longer-lived properties.

	DD&A expense increased 32 percent and 18 percent for the first half 
and second quarter of 1996, respectively, when compared to the same periods a 
year ago.  The Partnership's DD&A rate, expressed as a percentage of sales 
was 26 percent during the first six months of 1996, a decrease from 33 
percent in 1995.  The year-to-year decrease in DD&A rate is primarily a 
result of increased future gross revenue, reflecting both higher oil and 
gas prices, and a lower depreciable property base, upon both of which the 
rate is based.

	Lease operating expense of $.7 million increased by $.1 million, or 20 
percent, during the first six months of 1996 compared to the first six 
months of 1995.  This increase was primarily the result of workover 
expenses recorded on South Timbalier 295 in the first quarter of this year.  
Lease operating expense for the second quarter was comparable to the 
expense incurred during the second quarter of 1995.

	Administrative expense incurred during the first six months of 1996 
was comparable to the corresponding periods of 1995.  Administrative expenses 
for the calendar year 1996 are expected to be comparable to 1995.

	Interest expense decreased 28 percent in the first six months and 50 
percent in the second quarter, when compared to the same periods in 1995.  
These decreases were a result of the reduction in the average debt 
outstanding from $8.8 million in the first half of 1995 to $6.4 million for 
the comparable period in 1996.


CASH FLOW, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Capital Resources and Liquidity

	The Partnership's primary capital resources are net cash provided by 
operating activities and proceeds from financing activities. 

	Net cash provided by operating activities was $8.9 million for the 
first six months of 1996, an increase of 63 percent from a year ago.  The 
increase was primarily attributable to higher realized prices and increased 
gas production.  Future cash flows will be influenced by product prices and 
production and are not presently ascertainable.

	At June 30, 1996, the available commitment under the Partnership's 
reducing revolving credit facility was $10.2 million.  The available 
commitment reduces by $1.3 million per quarter, with the outstanding loan 
balance to be repaid by July 1998.  During the first six months of 1996, 
debt was reduced by $4.8 million, primarily resulting from increased cash 
flow and limited capital expenditures.

	Apache is contingently liable for obligations of the Partnership and 
is subject to certain requirements under the terms of the credit facility.  
Apache was in compliance with such covenants at June 30, 1996.  The credit 
facility had an average rate of interest of 6.186 percent during the second 
quarter of 1996 which compares to an average rate of 6.83 percent a year 
ago.  The Partnership will attempt to maintain availability under its 
credit facility as cushion for unforeseen expenditures and contingencies.

	It is expected that the net cash provided by operating activities, the 
cash available under the Partnership's credit facility and the Managing 
Partner contributions will be sufficient to meet the Partnership's 
liquidity needs through the end of 1996.  However, in the event short-term 
operating cash requirements are greater than the Partnership's financial 
resources, the Partnership will seek short-term interest-bearing advances 
from the Managing Partner.

Capital Commitments

	The Partnership's primary needs for cash are for operating expenses, 
repayment of principal and interest on outstanding debt, drilling and 
recompletion expenditures, distributions to Investing Partners and the 
purchase of Units offered by Investing Partners under the right of 
presentment.

	As provided in the Amended Partnership Agreement, Investing Partners 
will have a second right of presentment during the fourth quarter of 1996, 
based on a valuation date of June 30, 1996.  The Partnership is not in a 
position to predict how many Units will be presented for repurchase during 
1996 and cannot, at this time, determine if the Partnership will have 
sufficient funds available to repurchase Units.

	During the first half of 1996, the Partnership's oil and gas property 
additions totaled $.2 million. Additions largely related to recompletions 
performed at South Pass 83 and Ship Shoal 259.  Based on information 
supplied by the operators of the Partnership properties, the Partnership 
anticipates oil and gas property additions will total approximately $1 
million to $1.5 million in 1996.  The anticipated capital expenditures are 
primarily attributable to new well drilling on South Timbalier 295 as well 
as miscellaneous recompletions on other Partnership properties.  Such 
estimate may change based on realized prices, drilling results or changes 
to the plans by the operator.

	The Partnership made a $1,000 per-Unit distribution during March 1996, 
and expects to make another distribution in the fourth quarter of 1996.  
The amount of future distributions will be dependent on actual and expected 
production levels, realized and expected oil and gas prices, debt service 
requirements and expected drilling and recompletion expenditures.


SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 
1995 ("PSLRA")

	The foregoing discussion and analysis contains certain 
"forward-looking statements" as defined by the PSLRA including, without
