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 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.

ACCRUED EXPENSES

	Accrued expenses payable at March 31, 1996, primarily represents 
operating and capital expenditures accrued in February and March that will 
be paid in April.

PAYABLE/RECEIVABLE FROM APACHE

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


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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Income and Revenue

	The Partnership reported 1996 first quarter net income of $3.1 million, 
or $1,941 per Investing Partner unit.  The 1996 first quarter income was 
121-percent higher than the $1.4 million, or $823 per Investing Partner 
unit, reported in the first quarter of 1995. This increase was primarily 
attributable to higher product prices and production, partially offset by 
higher operating costs.

	Oil and gas sales of $5.0 million in the first quarter of 1996 
increased by $2.2 million, or 79 percent, when compared to the first 
quarter of 1995.  This increase was the result of higher production and 
higher realized product prices. On an energy equivalent basis, using one 
barrel of oil as the equivalent of six thousand cubic feet (Mcf) of natural 
gas, natural gas production represented 82 percent and 84 percent of 
production for the first quarter of 1996 and 1995, respectively.

	Volume and price information concerning the Partnership's 1996 and 1995 
first quarter oil and gas production is summarized in the following table:

</TABLE>

	A $1.10 per Mcf, or 78-percent, increase in the Partnership's average 
realized gas price and a 10-percent increase in crude oil prices increased 
revenues by $1,739,000 and $93,000, respectively.  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.

	In the first quarter of 1996, crude oil and natural gas production 
increased 20 percent and nine percent, respectively, over the first quarter 
of 1995 levels.  These increases are primarily attributable to the capital 
expenditures made during 1995.  The Partnership incurred $3.2 million 
during 1995 to drill the East Cameron A-5 well and to recomplete several 
wells at South Timbalier 295 and Ship Shoal 259.  Given the few 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.

	Depreciation, depletion and amortization (DD&A) expense of $1.3 million 
increased 49 percent from a year ago.  Though increasing in absolute terms, 
the DD&A rate, as a percentage of sales, decreased from 31 percent in 1995 
to 26 percent in 1996. This improvement resulted from increased future 
gross revenue, upon which the rate is based, reflecting both higher natural 
gas and crude oil prices.

	First quarter 1996 lease operating expense of $344,000 increased by 
$108,000, or 46 percent, from last year due primarily to workover expenses
recorded on South Timbalier 295.

	Administrative expense in the first quarter of 1996 of $133,000 
remained relatively flat, increasing less than one percent when compared to 
the first quarter of 1995.

	Financing costs of $137,000 in the first quarter of 1996 declined 
$24,000, or 15 percent, compared to the same period in 1995.  This decrease 
was primarily a result of a reduction in the average debt outstanding from 
$8.7 million during the first quarter of 1995 to $7.0 million over the same 
period of 1996.


CASH FLOW, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash Flow 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, before changes in working 
capital accounts, was $4.4 million in the first quarter of 1996, up 92 
percent from a year ago. This increase primarily resulted from higher 
realized natural gas prices, which accounted for approximately 71-percent
of the improvement in cash flow.  Future cash flows will be influenced by
product prices and production constraints and are not presently 
ascertainable.  Net cash provided by operating activities was less than a 
year ago due primarily to changes in the receivable/payable account with 
Apache.

	At March 31, 1996, the available commitment under the Partnership's 
reducing revolving credit facility was $12,750,000, of which $6,460,000 was 
outstanding.  The available commitment reduces by $1,275,000 per quarter, 
with the outstanding loan balance to be repaid by July 1998.  The 
Partnership must comply with certain cash flow and oil and gas reserve 
tests under the terms of the credit facility, and failure to comply will 
result in mandatory principal payments in amounts sufficient to meet the 
tests.  The Partnership has met the tests each year since the inception of 
the credit facility in 1992.  Based on current pricing and its reserve 
base, the Partnership anticipates meeting future tests and does not expect 
to have an acceleration of principal payments.  The Partnership is not 
subject to any financial ratio requirements. 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 March 31, 1996.  The credit facility had an average interest 
rate of 6.271 percent during the first quarter of 1996 which compares to an 
average rate of 6.802 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 cash available under the Partnership's credit 
facility, Managing Partner contributions, and net cash provided by 
operating activities 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.

	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 was made to the Investing Partners on April 29, 1996.  The 
actual payment will increase by interest calculated from the valuation 
date, December 31, 1995, to the date of payment.  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 the purpose of repurchasing all or any 
units tendered.

	During the first quarter of 1996, the Partnership's oil and gas 
property additions totaled $18,728.  The Partnership's capital expenditures 
for the remainder of 1996 are anticipated to be approximately $1 million 
based on information provided by the operators of the properties in which 
the Partnership has interests.  However, such estimates may change based on 
realized product prices, drilling results or other factors.

	The Partnership made a distribution of $1,000 per Limited Partner unit 
during March 1996, and intends to make another distribution in the second 
half of 1996.  The amount of this and 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.
