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 for 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.
1. OTHER ACCRUED EXPENSES
Accrued expenses payable at September 30, 1997, primarily represented
operating costs accrued in August and September that will be paid in
subsequent months.
2. PAYABLE TO/RECEIVABLE FROM APACHE
The payable to/receivable from Apache Corporation, the Partnership's
managing partner (Apache or Managing Partner), represents the net result of
the Investing Partners' revenue and expenditure transactions in the current
month. Generally, cash in this amount will be transferred to/from Apache in
the following month after the Partnership's transactions are processed and
the net results of operations are determined.
3. RIGHT OF PRESENTMENT
In February 1994, an amendment to the Partnership Agreement created a
right of presentment under which all Investing Partners have a limited and
voluntary right to offer their Units to the Partnership twice each year to
be purchased for cash. The first right of presentment offer for 1997 was
based upon a valuation date of December 31, 1996 for a purchase price of
$13,621 per Unit, plus interest to the date of payment. The offer was made
to the Investing Partners on April 28, 1997 and, as a result, the
Partnership acquired 7.999 Units for a total of $114,132 in cash. A second
right of presentment offer of $10,946 per Unit, plus interest to the date
of payment, was made to the Investing Partners on October 30, 1997, based
on a valuation date of June 30, 1997. The Partnership is not in a position
to predict how many Units will be presented for repurchase under the
October 1997 offer and cannot, at this time, determine if the Partnership
will have sufficient funds available to repurchase Units. 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.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Partnership realized the fourth highest earnings and cash flow from
operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, as
compared with any prior nine month period in its history. Strong natural
gas and crude oil prices as well as lower lease operating and financing
costs contributed to the Partnership's results. The average realized
natural gas price for the first nine months was the second highest in 11
years. Given strong cash flow, the Partnership repaid all outstanding debt
and terminated its revolving credit facility on January 31, 1997, rendering
the Partnership debt free for the first time in its 14 years. In addition,
as of October 1, 1997, the Partnership has made distributions totaling
$4,500 per-Unit and repurchased shares under the right of presentment
program.
Net Income and Revenue
The Partnership reported net income of $2.0 million in the third
quarter of 1997, versus $2.1 million in the prior year period. Earnings
per Investing Partner Unit decreased six percent, from $1,351 to $1,268.
The decrease was attributable to lower natural gas production and lower
crude oil prices, mitigated by lower depreciation, depletion and
amortization expense (DD&A), lease operating expense (LOE) and financing
costs.
For the nine months of 1997, net income of $6.4 million, or $4,090 per
Investing Partner Unit, decreased 22 percent and 21 percent, respectively,
from $8.2 million and $5,177 per Unit in the same period last year.
Impacting 1997 results were lower natural gas and crude oil production,
lower average realized gas and crude oil prices, mitigated by lower DD&A,
LOE and financing costs.
Revenues decreased 16 percent, from $3.4 million in the third quarter
of 1996 to $2.9 million for the same period in 1997. Natural gas and crude
oil sales contributed 77 percent and 18 percent, respectively, to the
Partnership's total revenues, with five percent attributable to interest
income and other income from a settlement related to High Island A-6. For
the first nine months of 1997, revenues decreased 30 percent, to $9.3
million compared to the same period in 1996 due primarily to lower
production and prices, with natural gas and oil contributing 78 percent and
20 percent, respectively, to total revenue.
The Partnership's gas and oil production volume and price information
is summarized in the following tables:
<TABLE>

Average Oil Price - Per barrel $ 18.43 $ 21.45 (14%) $ 19.53 $ 19.90 (2%)
</TABLE>
Third Quarter 1997 Compared to Third Quarter 1996
Natural gas sales revenues for the third quarter of 1997 totaled $2.2
million, 21 percent lower than the third quarter of 1996. The decrease
resulted from a 23-percent decline in natural gas production, negatively
impacting revenue by $.7 million. Natural gas production decreased
primarily as a result of natural declines in production at Roberto and
natural declines in production coupled with the Partnership selling less
than its entitlement at South Pass 83 and North Padre 969, where make-up
volumes were taken by under-produced working interest owners. Also
contributing to the decrease were natural declines in production combined
with downtime for compressor installation work at Ship Shoal 259 and
facility downtime at West Cameron 368.
5
<PAGE>
The Partnership's crude oil sales revenues for the third quarter
totaled $.5 million, a nine percent decrease from the third quarter of
1996. The impact of a 14-percent decrease in average realized oil prices
was mitigated by a five-percent increase in production. The increase in
production was primarily the result of non-recurring downward adjustment in
the third quarter of 1996.
Year-to-Date 1997 Compared to Year-to-Date 1996
Gas sales for the first nine months of 1997 of $7.3 million decreased
$3.4 million, or 32 percent, when compared to the same period in 1996.
Average realized gas prices decreased $.01 per Mcf, when compared with the
first nine months of 1996. Gas production for the first nine months of 1997
decreased by 31 percent when compared to the same period in 1996,
negatively impacting revenues by $3.3 million. Production decreases in
1997 were primarily due to natural declines in production at Roberto and
downtime for drilling at South Timbalier 295 and for drilling and
compressor installation work at Ship Shoal 259. Also contributing to the
decrease were natural declines in production combined with the Partnership
taking less than its entitlement at South Pass 83 and North Padre 969,
where make-up volumes were taken by under-produced working interest owners.
For the nine months ended September 30, 1997, oil sales decreased 28
percent to $1.9 million when compared to the same period last year. The
Partnership's oil sales revenues were impacted by a 26 percent decline in
oil production and a two percent decrease in realized prices. The decrease
in sales volumes resulted from natural declines in production at East
Cameron 60 and downtime resulting from drilling operations at South
Timbalier 295.
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 the production of entities with greater reserves and
longer-lived properties.
OPERATING EXPENSES
The Partnership's DD&A expense for the third quarter of 1997 decreased
16 percent from the same period in the previous year primarily as a result
of lower oil and gas sales revenue. The Partnership's DD&A rate, expressed
as a percentage of sales, was 24 percent during the first nine months of
1997, decreasing from 25 percent during the same period in 1996. The
decrease in the rate was a result of generally improving natural gas and
crude oil prices during the last twelve months and positive reserve
revisions in the fourth quarter of 1996.
LOE in the third quarter of 1997 decreased 69 percent, from $.3 million
to $.1 million, from the third quarter of 1996. For the first nine months
of 1997, LOE of $.3 million was down 65 percent when compared to the first
nine months of 1996. The decrease was primarily the result of lower
workover activity in the first nine months of 1997 and credits received
from a joint venture audit during March and July 1997.
Financing costs decreased 96 percent in the first nine months when
compared to the same period in 1996. The decrease was a result of the
repayment of the $2.0 million of the Partnership's outstanding bank debt on
January 31, 1997.
CASH FLOW, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Capital Resources and Liquidity
The Partnership's primary capital resource is net cash provided by
operating activities, which was $9.8 million for the first nine months of
1997, a decrease of 18 percent from a year ago, driven by lower oil and gas
production and gas prices which were mitigated by lower LOE. Future cash
flows will similarly be influenced by fluctuations in product prices and
production and operating cost.
6
<PAGE>
In January 1997, the Partnership repaid the outstanding balance of the
revolving credit facility (obtained by Apache on behalf of the Partnership
in July 1992) and terminated the facility.
It is expected that the net cash provided by operating activities and
Managing Partner contributions will be sufficient to meet the Partnership's
liquidity needs through the end of 1997. 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,
drilling and recompletion expenditures, distributions to Investing Partners
and the purchase of Units offered by Investing Partners under the right of
presentment.
During the first nine months of 1997, the Partnership's oil and gas
property additions totaled $2.3 million. At South Timbalier 295, the A-28
injection well and A-29 and A-30 development wells were drilled and are
currently being completed. Additionally, the A-1 sidetrack was drilled and
resulted in a dry hole because of mechanical problems running the
production liner. The Partnership also participated in a compressor
installation at Ship Shoal 259, the JA-8 sidetrack at Roberto and the #5
directional well at Matagorda 705. In addition, the Partnership plans to
participate in a recompletion and three sidetrack wells at South Pass 83
which are projected to begin late in the fourth quarter of this year.
Based on information supplied by the operators of the properties, the
Partnership anticipates capital expenditures of approximately $1.0 million
for the remainder of 1997. Such estimates may change based on realized
prices, drilling results or changes to the development plan by the
operator.
The Partnership made a $1,000 per Unit distribution during March 1997
and a $3,500 per Unit distribution on October 1, 1997. The amount of
future distributions will be dependent on actual and expected production
levels, realized and expected oil and gas prices, and expected drilling and
recompletion expenditures.
As provided in the Amended Partnership Agreement, a second right of
presentment offer for 1997 of $10,946 per Unit, plus interest to the date
of payment, was made to Investing Partners on October 30, 1997, based on a
valuation date of June 30, 1997. The Partnership is not in a position to
predict how many Units will be presented for repurchase during 1997 and
cannot, at this time, determine if the Partnership will have sufficient
funds available to repurchase Units.
