FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND RISKS
This report includes “forward-looking statements” within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the Securities Act), and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). All
statements other than statements of historical facts included or
incorporated by reference in this report, including, without
limitation, statements regarding the Company’s future financial
position, business strategy, budgets, projected revenues, projected
costs, and plans and objectives of management for future
operations, are forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking
statements are based on the Company’s examination of historical
operating trends, the information that was used to prepare its
estimate of proved reserves as of December 31, 2021, and other data
in the Company’s possession or available from third parties. In
addition, forward-looking statements generally can be identified by
the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,”
“could,” “expect,” “intend,” “project,” “estimate,” “anticipate,”
“plan,” “believe,” “continue,” “seek,” “guidance,” “might,”
“outlook,” “possibly,” “potential,” “prospect,” “should,” “would,”
or similar terminology, but the absence of these words does not
mean that a statement is not forward looking. Although the Company
believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking
statements are reasonable under the circumstances, it can give no
assurance that such expectations will prove to have been correct.
Important factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from the Company’s expectations include, but are not
limited to, its assumptions about:
•the
scope, duration, and reoccurrence of any epidemics or pandemics
(including, specifically, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)
pandemic and any related variants) and the actions taken by third
parties, including, but not limited to, governmental authorities,
customers, contractors, and suppliers, in response to such
epidemics or pandemics;
•the
mandate, availability, and effectiveness of vaccine programs and
therapeutics related to the treatment of COVID-19;
•the
market prices of oil, natural gas, natural gas liquids (NGLs), and
other products or services;
•the
Company’s commodity hedging arrangements;
•the
supply and demand for oil, natural gas, NGLs, and other products or
services;
•production
and reserve levels;
•drilling
risks;
•economic
and competitive conditions, including market and macro-economic
disruptions resulting from the Russian war in Ukraine;
•the
availability of capital resources;
•capital
expenditures and other contractual obligations;
•currency
exchange rates;
•weather
conditions;
•inflation
rates;
•the
availability of goods and services;
•the
impact of political pressure and the influence of environmental
groups and other stakeholders on decisions and policies related to
the industries in which the Company and its affiliates
operate;
•legislative,
regulatory, or policy changes, including initiatives addressing the
impact of global climate change or further regulating hydraulic
fracturing, methane emissions, flaring, or water
disposal;
•the
Company’s performance on environmental, social, and governance
measures;
•terrorism
or cyberattacks;
•the
occurrence of property acquisitions or divestitures;
•the
integration of acquisitions;
•the
Company’s ability to access the capital markets;
•market-related
risks, such as general credit, liquidity, and interest-rate
risks;
•the
Company’s expectations with respect to the new operating structure
implemented pursuant to the Holding Company Reorganization (as
defined in the Notes to the Company’s Consolidated Financial
Statements set forth in Part I,
Item
1—Financial Statements
of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q) and the associated
disclosure implications;
•other
factors disclosed under Items 1 and 2—Business and
Properties—Estimated Proved Reserves and Future Net Cash Flows,
Item 1A—Risk Factors, Item 7—Management’s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,
Item 7A—Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market
Risk and elsewhere in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021;
•other
risks and uncertainties disclosed in the Company’s first-quarter
2022 earnings release;
•other
factors disclosed under Part II,
Item 1A—Risk
Factors
of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q; and
•other
factors disclosed in the other filings that the Company makes with
the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Other factors or events that could cause the Company’s actual
results to differ materially from the Company’s expectations may
emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for the Company to
predict all such factors or events. All subsequent written and oral
forward-looking statements attributable to the Company, or persons
acting on its behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by
these cautionary statements. All forward-looking statements speak
only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Except
as required by law, the Company disclaims any obligation to update
or revise these statements, whether based on changes in internal
estimates or expectations, new information, future developments, or
otherwise.

APA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared by APA
Corporation (APA or the Company) without audit, pursuant to the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC). They reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of
management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for
the interim periods, on a basis consistent with the annual audited
financial statements, with the exception of any recently adopted
accounting pronouncements. 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 accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company
believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information
presented not misleading. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should
be read along with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, which contains a summary of
the Company’s significant accounting policies and other
disclosures.
On March 1, 2021, Apache Corporation, the Company’s predecessor
registrant, consummated a holding company reorganization (the
Holding Company Reorganization), pursuant to which Apache
Corporation became a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of APA
Corporation, and all of Apache Corporation’s outstanding shares
automatically converted into equivalent corresponding shares of
APA. Pursuant to the Holding Company Reorganization, APA became the
successor issuer to Apache Corporation pursuant to Rule 12g-3(a)
under the Exchange Act and replaced Apache Corporation as the
public company trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the
ticker symbol “APA.” The Holding Company Reorganization modernized
the Company’s operating and legal structure to more closely align
with its growing international presence, making it more consistent
with other companies that have subsidiaries operating around the
globe.
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
As of March 31, 2022, the Company's significant accounting policies
are consistent with those discussed in Note 1—Summary of
Significant Accounting Policies of the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. The
Company’s financial statements for prior periods include
reclassifications that were made to conform to the current-year
presentation, if applicable.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of APA and its subsidiaries after elimination of
intercompany balances and transactions.
The implementation of the Holding Company Reorganization was
accounted for as a merger under common control. APA recognized the
assets and liabilities of Apache at carryover basis. The
consolidated financial statements of APA present comparative
information for prior years on a combined basis, as if both APA and
Apache were under common control for all periods
presented.
The Company’s undivided interests in oil and gas exploration and
production ventures and partnerships are proportionately
consolidated. The Company consolidates all other investments in
which, either through direct or indirect ownership, it has more
than a 50 percent voting interest or controls the financial and
operating decisions. Noncontrolling interests represent third-party
ownership in the net assets of a consolidated subsidiary of APA and
are reflected separately in the Company’s financial
statements.
Sinopec International Petroleum Exploration and Production
Corporation (Sinopec) owns a one-third minority participation in
the Company’s consolidated Egypt oil and gas business as a
noncontrolling interest, which is reflected as a separate
noncontrolling interest component of equity in the Company’s
consolidated balance sheet. Additionally, prior to the BCP Business
Combination defined below, third-party investors owned a minority
interest of approximately 21 percent of Altus Midstream Company
(ALTM or Altus), which was reflected as a separate noncontrolling
interest component of equity in the Company’s consolidated balance
sheet. ALTM qualified as a variable interest entity under GAAP,
which APA consolidated because a wholly owned subsidiary of APA had
a controlling financial interest and was determined to be the
primary beneficiary. Additionally, the assets of ALTM could only be
used to settle obligations of ALTM. There was no recourse to the
Company for ALTM’s liabilities.
On February 22, 2022, ALTM closed a previously announced
transaction to combine with privately owned BCP Raptor Holdco LP
(BCP and, together with BCP Raptor Holdco GP, LLC, the Contributed
Entities) in an all-stock transaction, pursuant to the Contribution
Agreement entered into by and among ALTM, Altus Midstream LP, New
BCP Raptor Holdco, LLC (the Contributor), and BCP (the BCP
Contribution Agreement). Pursuant to the BCP Contribution
Agreement, the Contributor contributed all of the equity interests
of the Contributed Entities (the Contributed Interests) to Altus
Midstream LP, with each Contributed Entity becoming a wholly owned
subsidiary of Altus Midstream LP (the BCP Business Combination).
Upon closing the transaction, the combined entity was renamed
Kinetik Holdings Inc. (Kinetik), and the Company determined that it
was no longer the primary beneficiary of ALTM. The Company further
determined that ALTM no longer qualified as a variable interest
entity under GAAP.
As a result, the Company deconsolidated ALTM on February 22, 2022.
Refer to
Note
2—Acquisitions
and Divestitures
for further detail.
The stockholders agreement entered into by and among the Company,
ALTM, BCP, and other related and affiliated entities provides that
the Company, through one of its wholly owned subsidiaries, retains
the ability to designate a director to the board of directors of
Kinetik for so long as the Company and its affiliates beneficially
own 10 percent or more of Kinetik’s outstanding common stock. Based
on this board representation, combined with the Company’s stock
ownership, management determined it has significant influence over
Kinetik. Investments in which the Company has significant
influence, but not control, are accounted for under the equity
method of accounting. These investments are recorded separately as
“Equity method interests” in the Company’s consolidated balance
sheet. The Company elected the fair value option to account for its
equity method interest in Kinetik. Refer to
Note
6—Equity Method Interests
for further detail.
Use of Estimates
Preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements
and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. The Company bases its estimates on historical
experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be
reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the
basis for making judgments about carrying values of assets and
liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The
Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions on a regular basis.
Actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions used
in preparation of the Company’s financial statements, and changes
in these estimates are recorded when known.
Significant estimates with regard to these financial statements
include the estimates of fair value for long-lived assets (refer to
“Fair Value Measurements” and “Property and Equipment” sections in
this Note 1 below), the fair value determination of acquired assets
and liabilities (refer to
Note
2—Acquisitions and Divestitures),
the fair value of equity method interests (refer to “Equity Method
Interests” within this Note 1 below and
Note
6—Equity Method Interests),
the assessment of asset retirement obligations (refer to
Note
8—Asset Retirement Obligation),
the estimation of the contingent liability representing Apache’s
potential obligation to decommission sold properties in the Gulf of
Mexico (refer to
Note
11—Commitments and Contingencies),
the estimate of income taxes (refer to
Note 10—Income
Taxes),
and the estimate of proved oil and gas reserves and related present
value estimates of future net cash flows therefrom.
Fair Value Measurements
Certain assets and liabilities are reported at fair value on a
recurring basis in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.
Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820-10-35, “Fair Value
Measurement” (ASC 820), provides a hierarchy that prioritizes and
defines the types of inputs used to measure fair value. The fair
value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs, which
consist of unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments in
active markets. Level 2 inputs consist of quoted prices for similar
instruments. Level 3 valuations are derived from inputs that are
significant and unobservable; hence, these valuations have the
lowest priority.
The valuation techniques that may be used to measure fair value
include a market approach, an income approach, and a cost approach.
A market approach uses prices and other relevant information
generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable
assets or liabilities. An income approach uses valuation techniques
to convert future amounts to a single present amount based on
current market expectations, including present value techniques,
option-pricing models, and the excess earnings method. The cost
approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to
replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement
cost).
During the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company
recorded no asset impairments in connection with fair value
assessments.
Revenue Recognition
There have been no significant changes to the Company’s contracts
with customers during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and
2021.
Payments under all contracts with customers are typically due and
received within a short-term period of one year or less after
physical delivery of the product or service has been rendered.
Receivables from contracts with customers, net of allowance for
credit losses, were $1.5 billion and $956 million as of
March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Refer to
Note
14—Business Segment Information
for a disaggregation of oil, gas, and natural gas production
revenue by product and reporting segment.
Oil and gas production revenues from non-customers represent income
taxes paid to the Arab Republic of Egypt by Egyptian General
Petroleum Corporation on behalf of the Company. Revenue and
associated expenses related to such tax volumes are recorded as
“Oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids production revenues” and
“Current income tax provision,” respectively, in the Company’s
statement of consolidated operations. Refer to
Note
14—Business Segment Information
for a disaggregation of revenue by product and reporting
segment.
In accordance with the provisions of ASC 606, “Revenue from
Contracts with Customers,” variable market prices for each
short-term commodity sale are allocated entirely to each
performance obligation as the terms of payment relate specifically
to the Company’s efforts to satisfy its obligations. As such, the
Company has elected the practical expedients available under the
standard to not disclose the aggregate transaction price allocated
to unsatisfied, or partially unsatisfied, performance obligations
as of the end of the reporting period.
Property and Equipment
The carrying value of the Company’s property and equipment
represents the cost incurred to acquire the property and equipment,
including capitalized interest, net of any impairments. For
business combinations, property and equipment cost is based on the
fair values at the acquisition date.
Oil and Gas Property
The Company follows the successful efforts method of accounting for
its oil and gas property. Under this method of accounting,
exploration costs, such as exploratory geological and geophysical
costs, delay rentals, and exploration overhead, are expensed as
incurred. All costs related to production, general corporate
overhead, and similar activities are expensed as incurred. If an
exploratory well provides evidence to justify potential development
of reserves, drilling costs associated with the well are initially
capitalized, or suspended, pending a determination as to whether a
commercially sufficient quantity of proved reserves can be
attributed to the area as a result of drilling. This determination
may take longer than one year in certain areas depending on, among
other things, the amount of hydrocarbons discovered, the outcome of
planned geological and engineering studies, the need for additional
appraisal drilling activities to determine whether the discovery is
sufficient to support an economic development plan, and government
sanctioning of development activities in certain international
locations. At the end of each quarter, management reviews the
status of all suspended exploratory well costs in light of ongoing
exploration activities; in particular, whether the Company is
making sufficient progress in its ongoing exploration and appraisal
efforts or, in the case of discoveries requiring government
sanctioning, whether development negotiations are underway and
proceeding as planned. If management determines that future
appraisal drilling or development activities are unlikely to occur,
associated suspended exploratory well costs are
expensed.
Acquisition costs of unproved properties are assessed for
impairment at least annually and are transferred to proved oil and
gas properties to the extent the costs are associated with
successful exploration activities. Significant undeveloped leases
are assessed individually for impairment based on the Company’s
current exploration plans. Unproved oil and gas properties with
individually insignificant lease acquisition costs are amortized on
a group basis over the average lease term at rates that provide for
full amortization of unsuccessful leases upon lease expiration or
abandonment. Costs of expired or abandoned leases are charged to
exploration expense, while costs of productive leases are
transferred to proved oil and gas properties. Costs of maintaining
and retaining unproved properties, as well as amortization of
individually insignificant leases and impairment of unsuccessful
leases, are included in exploration costs in the statement of
consolidated operations.
Costs to develop proved reserves, including the costs of all
development wells and related equipment used in the production of
crude oil and natural gas, are capitalized. Depreciation of the
cost of proved oil and gas properties is calculated using the
unit-of-production (UOP) method. The UOP calculation
multiplies the percentage of estimated proved reserves produced
each quarter by the carrying value of associated proved oil and gas
properties. The reserve base used to calculate depreciation for
leasehold acquisition costs and the cost to acquire proved
properties is the sum of proved developed reserves and proved
undeveloped reserves. The reserve base used to calculate the
depreciation for capitalized well costs is the sum of proved
developed reserves only. Estimated future dismantlement,
restoration and abandonment costs, net of salvage values, are
included in the depreciable cost.
Oil and gas properties are grouped for depreciation in accordance
with ASC 932 “Extractive Activities—Oil and Gas.” The basis for
grouping is a reasonable aggregation of properties with a common
geological structural feature or stratigraphic condition, such as a
reservoir or field.
When circumstances indicate that the carrying value of proved oil
and gas properties may not be recoverable, the Company compares
unamortized capitalized costs to the expected undiscounted pre-tax
future cash flows for the associated assets grouped at the lowest
level for which identifiable cash flows are independent of cash
flows of other assets. If the expected undiscounted pre-tax
future cash flows, based on the Company’s estimate of future crude
oil and natural gas prices, operating costs, anticipated production
from proved reserves and other relevant data, are lower than the
unamortized capitalized cost, the capitalized cost is reduced to
fair value. Fair value is generally estimated using the income
approach described in ASC 820. The expected future cash flows
used for impairment reviews and related fair value calculations are
typically based on judgmental assessments, a Level 3 fair value
measurement.
Unproved leasehold impairments are typically recorded as a
component of “Exploration” expense in the Company’s statement of
consolidated operations. Gains and losses on divestitures of the
Company’s oil and gas properties are recognized in the statement of
consolidated operations upon closing of the transaction. Refer
to
Note
2—Acquisitions and Divestitures
for more detail.
Gathering, Processing, and Transmission Facilities
GPT facilities are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the
estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimation of useful life
takes into consideration anticipated production lives from the
fields serviced by the GPT assets, whether APA-operated or third
party-operated, as well as potential development plans by the
Company for undeveloped acreage within, or close to, those
fields.
The Company assesses the carrying amount of its GPT facilities
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the carrying amount of
these facilities is more than the sum of the undiscounted cash
flows, an impairment loss is recognized for the excess of the
carrying value over its fair value.
2. ACQUISITIONS AND
DIVESTITURES
2022 Activity
The BCP Business Combination was completed on February 22, 2022. As
consideration for the contribution of the Contributed Interests,
ALTM issued 50 million shares of Class C Common Stock (and
Altus Midstream LP issued a corresponding number of common units)
to BCP’s unitholders, which are principally funds affiliated with
Blackstone and I Squared Capital. ALTM’s stockholders continued to
hold their existing shares of Common Stock. As a result of the
transaction, the Contributor, or its designees, collectively owned
approximately 75 percent of the issued and outstanding shares of
ALTM Common Stock. Apache Midstream LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary
of APA, which owned approximately 79 percent of the issued and
outstanding shares of ALTM Common Stock prior to the BCP Business
Combination, owned approximately 20 percent of the issued and
outstanding shares of ALTM Common Stock after the transaction
closed.
As a result of the BCP Business Combination, the Company
deconsolidated ALTM on February 22, 2022 and recognized a gain of
approximately $609 million that reflects the difference of the
Company’s share of ALTM’s deconsolidated balance sheet and the fair
value of its approximate 20 percent retained ownership in the
combined entity. A summary of components of the gain, including the
ALTM balance sheet amounts deconsolidated at the time of close, is
included below:

In March 2022, the Company sold four million of its shares in
Kinetik for cash proceeds of $224 million and recognized a
loss of $25 million, including transaction fees. Refer
to
Note
6—Equity Method Interests
for further detail. In connection with this secondary offering, the
Company has agreed that within the next 24 months, it will invest a
minimum of $100 million of these proceeds for new well
drilling and completion activity at the Alpine High play in the
Delaware Basin, where Kinetik has exclusive gas and NGL gathering
and processing rights.
In March 2022, the Company completed the previously announced
transaction to sell certain non-core mineral rights in the Delaware
Basin for total cash proceeds of approximately $759 million
after certain post-closing adjustments. The Company recognized a
gain of approximately $590 million from the transaction. The
Company also completed the sale of other non-core assets and
leasehold in multiple transactions for total cash proceeds of
$8 million. The Company recognized a gain of approximately
$2 million upon closing of these transactions during the first
quarter of 2022.
2021 Activity
During the first quarter of 2021, the Company completed leasehold
and property acquisitions, primarily in the Permian Basin, for
total cash consideration of $2 million. The Company also
completed the sale of certain non-core assets and leasehold,
primarily in the Permian Basin, in multiple transactions for total
cash proceeds of $3 million. The Company recognized a gain of
approximately $2 million upon closing of these transactions
during the first quarter of 2021.
3. CAPITALIZED EXPLORATORY WELL
COSTS
The Company’s capitalized exploratory well costs were $389 million
and $321 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31,
2021, respectively. The increase is primarily attributable to
additional drilling activity in Suriname and Egypt.
Projects with suspended exploratory well costs capitalized for a
period greater than one year since the completion of drilling are
those identified by management as exhibiting sufficient quantities
of hydrocarbons to justify potential development. Management is
actively pursuing efforts to assess whether proved reserves can be
attributed to these projects.
4. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING
ACTIVITIES
Objectives and Strategies
The Company is exposed to fluctuations in crude oil and natural gas
prices on the majority of its worldwide production, as well as
fluctuations in exchange rates in connection with transactions
denominated in foreign currencies. The Company manages the
variability in its cash flows by occasionally entering into
derivative transactions on a portion of its crude oil and natural
gas production and foreign currency transactions. The Company
utilizes various types of derivative financial instruments,
including forward contracts, futures contracts, swaps, and options,
to manage fluctuations in cash flows resulting from changes in
commodity prices or foreign currency values.
Counterparty Risk
The use of derivative instruments exposes the Company to credit
loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparty. To reduce
the concentration of exposure to any individual counterparty, the
Company utilizes a diversified group of investment-grade rated
counterparties, primarily financial institutions, for its
derivative transactions. As of March 31, 2022, the Company had
derivative positions with 12 counterparties. The Company monitors
counterparty creditworthiness on an ongoing basis; however, it
cannot predict sudden changes in counterparties’ creditworthiness.
In addition, even if such changes are not sudden, the Company may
be limited in its ability to mitigate an increase in counterparty
credit risk. Should one of these counterparties not perform, the
Company may not realize the benefit of some of its derivative
instruments resulting from lower commodity prices or changes in
currency exchange rates.

contracts purchasing Nymex Henry Hub/Waha totaling 1,840,000 MMBtu
with a weighted average strike price of $(1.62) and selling Nymex
Henry Hub/HSC totaling 1,840,000 MMBtu with a weighted average
strike price of $(0.19) for July to September 2023.
Foreign Currency Derivative Instruments
The Company has open foreign currency costless collar contracts in
GBP/USD for £15 million per month for the calendar year 2022
with a weighted average floor and ceiling price of $1.39 and $1.29,
respectively.
Embedded Derivatives
Altus Preferred Units Embedded Derivative
Pipeline Capacity Embedded Derivatives
During the fourth quarter of 2019 and first quarter of 2020, the
Company entered into agreements to assign a portion of its
contracted capacity under an existing transportation agreement to
third parties. Embedded in these agreements were arrangements under
which the Company received payments calculated based on pricing
differentials between Houston Ship Channel and Waha during the
calendar years 2020 and 2021. This feature required bifurcation and
measurement of the change in market value throughout 2020 and 2021.
Unrealized gains and losses in the fair value of this feature were
recorded as “Derivative instrument gains (losses), net” under
“Revenues and Other” in the statement of consolidated operations,
and the balance at the end of December 31, 2021 will be amortized
into income over the original tenure of the host
contract.

(1) The derivative fair values are based on
analysis of each contract on a gross basis, excluding the impact of
netting agreements with counterparties.
The fair values of the Company’s derivative instruments are not
actively quoted in the open market. The Company primarily uses a
market approach to estimate the fair values of these derivatives on
a recurring basis, utilizing futures pricing for the underlying
positions provided by a reputable third party, a Level 2 fair value
measurement.
Derivative Activity Recorded in the Consolidated Balance
Sheet
All derivative instruments are reflected as either assets or
liabilities at fair value in the consolidated balance sheet. These
fair values are recorded by netting asset and liability positions
where counterparty master netting arrangements contain provisions
for net settlement. The carrying value of the Company’s derivative
assets and liabilities and their locations on the consolidated
balance sheet are as follows:

Derivative instrument gains and losses are recorded in “Derivative
instrument gains (losses), net” under “Revenues and Other” in the
Company’s statement of consolidated operations. Unrealized gains
(losses) for derivative activity recorded in the statement of
consolidated operations are reflected in the statement of
consolidated cash flows separately as “Unrealized derivative
instrument losses (gains), net” in “Adjustments to reconcile net
income (loss) to net cash provided by operating
activities.”
The Company seeks to maintain a balance between “first of month”
and “gas daily pricing” for its U.S. natural gas portfolio and
sales activities in a given month as part of its ordinary course of
business. This is typically implemented through a combination of
physical and financial contracts that settle monthly. In January
2021, the Company entered into financial contracts that increased
its exposure to “gas daily pricing” and reduced its exposure to
“first of month” pricing for February 2021. The Company realized a
gain of $147 million in connection with these contracts in the
first quarter of 2021 as a result of extreme daily gas price
volatility across Texas in February resulting from Winter Storm
Uri.

6. EQUITY METHOD INTERESTS
The Kinetik Class A Common Stock held by the Company is treated as
an interest in equity securities measured at fair value. The
Company elected the fair value option based on practical
expedience, variances in reporting timelines, and cost-benefit
considerations for measuring its equity method interest in Kinetik.
The fair value of the Company’s interest in Kinetik is determined
using Level 1 inputs based on observable prices on a major
exchange. The initial interest in Kinetik was measured at fair
value based on the Company’s ownership of approximately
12.9 million shares of Kinetik Class A Common stock as of
February 22, 2022. In March 2022, the Company sold four million of
its shares of Kinetik Class A Common Stock for a loss, including
underwriters fees, of $25 million, which was recorded as a
component of “Gain on divestitures, net” under “Revenues and other”
in the Company’s statement of consolidated operations. Refer
to
Note
2–Acquisitions
and Divestitures
for further detail.
As of March 31, 2022, the Company holds approximately
8.9 million shares of Kinetik Class A Common Stock, or
approximately 13 percent of Kinetik’s outstanding ALTM Common
Stock. At March 31, 2022, a fair value adjustment gain of
$24 million was recorded based on the Company’s remaining
Class A share ownership. The fair value adjustment was recorded as
a component of “Other, net” under “Revenues and other” in the
Company’s statement of consolidated operations.
The following table presents the activity in the Company’s equity
method interest in Kinetik for the quarter ended March 31,

As of March 31, 2022, the Company has recorded gathering,
processing and transportation costs payable to Kinetik of
approximately $10 million related to midstream services
provided by Kinetik to the Company since the close of the
transaction on February 22, 2022.
Prior to the deconsolidation of Altus on February 22, 2022, the
Company, through its ownership of Altus, had the following equity
method interests in four Permian Basin long-haul pipeline entities,
which were accounted for under the equity method of accounting at
December 31, 2021. For each of the equity method interests, Altus
had the ability to exercise significant influence based on certain
governance provisions and its participation in activities and
decisions that impact the management and economic performance of
the equity method interests. The table below presents the ownership
percentages held by the Company and associated carrying values for
each entity:

(1) The fair values of the Apache notes and
debentures were $5.1 billion and $7.1 billion as of March
31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
The Company uses a market approach to determine the fair values of
its notes and debentures using estimates provided by an independent
investment financial data services firm (a Level 2 fair value
measurement).
(2) The carrying value of borrowings on
credit facilities approximates fair value because interest rates
are variable and reflective of market rates.
As of March 31, 2022, current debt included $123 million carrying
value of 2.63% senior notes due January 15, 2023 and $2 million of
finance lease obligations. As of December 31, 2021, current debt
included $213 million carrying value of 3.25% senior notes due
April 15, 2022 and $2 million of finance lease
obligations.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, Apache closed cash tender
offers for certain outstanding notes issued under its indentures,
accepting for purchase $1.1 billion aggregate principal amount of
notes. Apache paid holders an aggregate $1.2 billion in cash,
reflecting principal, premium to par, and accrued and unpaid
interest. The Company recognized a $66 million loss on
extinguishment of debt, including $11 million of unamortized
debt discount and issuance costs in connection with the note
purchases.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, Apache purchased in the
open market and canceled senior notes issued under its indentures
in an aggregate principal amount of $15 million for an
aggregate purchase price of $16 million in cash, including
accrued interest and broker fees, reflecting a premium to par of
$1 million. The Company recognized a $1 million loss on
these repurchases.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, Apache redeemed the
outstanding $213 million principal amount of 3.25% senior
notes due April 15, 2022, at a redemption price equal to 100% of
their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the
redemption date. The redemption was financed by borrowing under
Apache’s revolving credit facility.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, Apache purchased in the
open market and canceled senior notes issued under its indentures
in an aggregate principal amount of $7 million for an
aggregate purchase price of $6 million in cash, including
accrued interest and broker fees, reflecting a discount to par of
an aggregate $1 million. No gain or loss was recognized on
these repurchases.
In March 2018, Apache entered into a revolving credit facility with
commitments totaling $4.0 billion that Apache terminated in April
2022 when the Company entered into two new syndicated credit
facilities described in “Subsequent Event” below. As of March 31,
2022, there were $880 million of borrowings and an aggregate
£748 million and $20 million in letters of credit outstanding
under Apache’s 2018 facility. As of December 31, 2021, there were
$542 million of borrowings and an aggregate £748 million
and $20 million in letters of credit outstanding under
Apache’s 2018 facility. The outstanding letters of credit
denominated in pounds were issued to support North Sea
decommissioning obligations, the terms of which required such
support after Standard & Poor’s reduced Apache’s credit rating
from BBB to BB+ on March 26, 2020.
Apache, from time to time, has and uses uncommitted credit and
letter of credit facilities for working capital and credit support
purposes. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no
outstanding borrowings under these facilities. As of March 31,
2022, there were £117 million and $17 million in letters
of credit outstanding under these facilities. As of December 31,
2021, there were £117 million and $17 million in letters
of credit outstanding under these facilities.

Subsequent Event
On April 29, 2022, the Company entered into two syndicated credit
agreements for general corporate purposes that replaced and
refinanced Apache’s 2018 syndicated credit agreement (the Former
Facility).
One new agreement is denominated in US dollars (the USD Agreement)
and provides for an unsecured five-year revolving credit facility,
with aggregate commitments of US$1.8 billion (including a
letter of credit subfacility of up to US$750 million, of which
US$150 million currently is committed). The Company may
increase commitments up to an aggregate US$2.3 billion by
adding new lenders or obtaining the consent of any increasing
existing lenders. This facility matures in April 2027, subject to
the Company’s two, one-year extension options.
The second new agreement is denominated in pounds sterling (the GBP
Agreement) and provides for an unsecured five-year revolving credit
facility, with aggregate commitments of £1.5 billion for loans
and letters of credit. This facility matures in April 2027, subject
to the Company’s two, one-year extension options.
In connection with the Company’s entry into the USD Agreement and
the GBP Agreement (each, a New Agreement), Apache terminated
US$4.0 billion of commitments under the Former Facility.
Apache has guaranteed obligations under each New Agreement
effective until the aggregate principal amount of indebtedness
under senior notes and debentures outstanding under Apache’s
existing indentures is less than US$1.0 billion.
Borrowers under each New Agreement may include the Company and
certain subsidiaries organized under the laws of, resident of, or
domiciled in, the United States, Canada, England and Wales, the
United Kingdom, or the Cayman Islands. Apache may borrow under the
USD Agreement up to an aggregate principal amount of
US$300 million outstanding at any given time.
Letters of credit are available under each New Agreement for credit
support needs of the Company and its subsidiaries, including in
respect of North Sea decommissioning obligations. Letters of credit
under each New Agreement may be denominated in US dollars, pounds
sterling, Canadian dollars, and any other foreign currency
consented to by an issuing bank.
As of April 29, 2022, an aggregate US$680 million in
borrowings under the Former Facility were deemed borrowings by the
Company outstanding under the USD Agreement. As of April 29, 2022,
(i) a letter of credit for US$20 million originally issued
under the Former Facility is deemed issued and outstanding under
the USD Agreement and (ii) letters of credit aggregating
£748 million originally issued under the Former Facility are
deemed issued and outstanding under the GBP Agreement.
Borrowers under each New Agreement may borrow, prepay, and reborrow
loans and obtain letters of credit, and the Company may obtain
letters of credit for the account of its subsidiaries, in each case
subject to representations and warranties, covenants, and events of
default substantially similar to those in the Former Facility. The
New Agreements do not permit lenders to accelerate maturity or
refuse to lend based on unspecified material adverse changes and do
not have borrowing restrictions or prepayment obligations in the
event of a decline in credit ratings.
10. INCOME TAXES
The Company estimates its annual effective income tax rate in
recording its quarterly provision for income taxes in the various
jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Non-cash impairments
on the carrying value of the Company’s oil and gas properties,
gains and losses on the sale of assets, statutory tax rate changes,
and other significant or unusual items are recognized as discrete
items in the quarter in which they occur.
During the first quarter of 2022, the Company’s effective income
tax rate was primarily impacted by the gain associated with
deconsolidation of Altus, the gain on sale of certain non-core
mineral rights in the Delaware Basin, and a decrease in the amount
of valuation allowance against its U.S. deferred tax assets.
During the first quarter of 2021, the Company’s effective income
tax rate was primarily impacted by a decrease in the amount of
valuation allowance against its U.S. deferred tax
assets.
The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income
or capital taxes in various state and foreign jurisdictions. The
Company’s tax reserves are related to tax years that may be subject
to examination by the relevant taxing authority. The Company is
currently under audit by the Internal Revenue Service for the
2014-2017 tax years and is also under audit in various states and
foreign jurisdictions as part of its normal course of
business.
11. COMMITMENTS AND
CONTINGENCIES
Legal Matters
The Company is party to various legal actions arising in the
ordinary course of business, including litigation and governmental
and regulatory controls, which also may include controls related to
the potential impacts of climate change. As of March 31, 2022, the
Company has an accrued liability of approximately $73 million
for all legal contingencies that are deemed to be probable of
occurring and can be reasonably estimated. The Company’s estimates
are based on information known about the matters and its experience
in contesting, litigating, and settling similar matters. Although
actual amounts could differ from management’s estimate, none of the
actions are believed by management to involve future amounts that
would be material to the Company’s financial position, results of
operations, or liquidity after consideration of recorded accruals.
For material matters that the Company believes an unfavorable
outcome is reasonably possible, the Company has disclosed the
nature of the matter and a range of potential exposure, unless an
estimate cannot be made at this time. It is management’s opinion
that the loss for any other litigation matters and claims that are
reasonably possible to occur will not have a material adverse
effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations,
or liquidity.
For additional information on Legal Matters described below, refer
to Note 11—Commitments and Contingencies to the consolidated
financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.
Argentine Environmental Claims
On March 12, 2014, the Company and its subsidiaries completed
the sale of all of the Company’s subsidiaries’ operations and
properties in Argentina to YPF Sociedad Anonima (YPF). As part of
that sale, YPF assumed responsibility for all of the past, present,
and future litigation in Argentina involving Company subsidiaries,
except that Company subsidiaries have agreed to indemnify YPF for
certain environmental, tax, and royalty obligations capped at an
aggregate of $100 million. The indemnity is subject to
specific agreed conditions precedent, thresholds, contingencies,
limitations, claim deadlines, loss sharing, and other terms and
conditions. On April 11, 2014, YPF provided its first notice
of claims pursuant to the indemnity. Company subsidiaries have
not paid any amounts under the indemnity but will continue to
review and consider claims presented by YPF. Further, Company
subsidiaries retain the right to enforce certain Argentina-related
indemnification obligations against Pioneer Natural Resources
Company (Pioneer) in an amount up to $45 million pursuant to
the terms and conditions of stock purchase agreements entered in
2006 between Company subsidiaries and subsidiaries of
Pioneer.
Louisiana Restoration
As more fully described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, Louisiana surface
owners often file lawsuits or assert claims against oil and gas
companies, including the Company, claiming that operators and
working interest owners in the chain of title are liable for
environmental damages on the leased premises, including damages
measured by the cost of restoration of the leased premises to its
original condition, regardless of the value of the underlying
property. From time to time, restoration lawsuits and claims are
resolved by the Company for amounts that are not material to the
Company, while new lawsuits and claims are asserted against the
Company. With respect to each of the pending lawsuits and claims,
the amount claimed is not currently determinable or is not
material. Further, the overall exposure related to these lawsuits
and claims is not currently determinable. While adverse judgments
against the Company are possible, the Company intends to actively
defend these lawsuits and claims.
Starting in November of 2013 and continuing into 2022, several
parishes in Louisiana have pending lawsuits against many oil and
gas producers, including the Company. These cases were all removed
to federal courts in Louisiana. In these cases, the Parishes, as
plaintiffs, allege that defendants’ oil and gas exploration,
production, and transportation operations in specified fields were
conducted in violation of the State and Local Coastal Resources
Management Act of 1978, as amended, and applicable regulations,
rules, orders, and ordinances promulgated or adopted thereunder by
the Parish or the State of Louisiana. Plaintiffs allege that
defendants caused substantial damage to land and water bodies
located in the coastal zone of Louisiana. Plaintiffs seek, among
other things, unspecified damages for alleged violations of
applicable law within the coastal zone, the payment of costs
necessary to clear, re-vegetate, detoxify, and otherwise restore
the subject coastal zone as near as practicable to its original
condition, and actual restoration of the coastal zone to its
original condition. While adverse judgments against the Company
might be possible, the Company intends to vigorously oppose these
claims.
Apollo Exploration Lawsuit
In a case captioned
Apollo Exploration, LLC, Cogent Exploration, Ltd. Co. &
SellmoCo, LLC v. Apache Corporation,
Cause No. CV50538 in the 385th
Judicial District Court, Midland County, Texas, plaintiffs alleged
damages in excess of $200 million (having previously claimed in
excess of $1.1 billion) relating to purchase and sale agreements,
mineral leases, and area of mutual interest agreements concerning
properties located in Hartley, Moore, Potter, and Oldham Counties,
Texas. The trial court entered final judgment in favor of the
Company, ruling that the plaintiffs take nothing by their claims
and awarding the Company its attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in
defending the lawsuit. The court of appeals affirmed in part and
reversed in part the trial court’s judgment thereby reinstating
some of plaintiff’s claims. Further appeal is pending.
Australian Operations Divestiture Dispute
Pursuant to a Sale and Purchase Agreement dated April 9, 2015
(Quadrant SPA), the Company and its subsidiaries divested their
remaining Australian operations to Quadrant Energy Pty Ltd
(Quadrant). Closing occurred on June 5, 2015. In April 2017, the
Company filed suit against Quadrant for breach of the Quadrant SPA.
In its suit, the Company seeks approximately AUD $80 million. In
December 2017, Quadrant filed a defense of equitable set-off to the
Company’s claim and a counterclaim seeking approximately AUD $200
million in the aggregate. The Company believes that Quadrant’s
claims lack merit and will not have a material adverse effect on
the Company’s financial position, results of operation, or
liquidity.
Canadian Operations Divestiture Dispute
Pursuant to a Sale and Purchase Agreement dated July 6, 2017
(Paramount SPA), the Company and its subsidiaries divested their
remaining Canadian operations to Paramount Resources LTD
(Paramount). Closing occurred on August 16, 2017. On September 11,
2019, four ex-employees of Apache Canada LTD on behalf of
themselves and individuals employed by Apache Canada LTD on July 6,
2017, filed an Amended Statement of Claim in a matter styled
Stephen Flesch et. al. v Apache Corporation et.
al.,
No. 1901-09160 Court of Queen’s Bench of Alberta against the
Company and others seeking class certification and a finding that
the Paramount SPA amounted to a Change of Control of the Company,
entitling them to accelerated vesting under the Company’s equity
plans. In the suit, the class seeks approximately $60 million USD
and punitive damages. The Company believes that Plaintiffs’ claims
lack merit and will not have a material adverse effect on the
Company’s financial position, results of operation, or
liquidity.
California and Delaware Litigation
On July 17, 2017, in three separate actions, San Mateo County,
California, Marin County, California, and the City of Imperial
Beach, California, all filed suit individually and on behalf of the
people of the state of California against over 30 oil and gas
companies alleging damages as a result of global warming.
Plaintiffs seek unspecified damages and abatement under various
tort theories. On December 20, 2017, in two separate actions, the
City of Santa Cruz and Santa Cruz County and in a separate action
on January 22, 2018, the City of Richmond, filed similar lawsuits
against many of the same defendants. On November 14, 2018, the
Pacific Coast Federation of Fishermen’s Associations, Inc. also
filed a similar lawsuit against many of the same defendants. After
removal of all such lawsuits to federal court, the district court
remanded them back to state court. The 9th Circuit Court of
Appeals’ affirmance of this remand decision was appealed to the
U.S. Supreme Court. That appeal was decided by the U.S. Supreme
Court ruling in a similar case,
BP p.l.c. v. Mayor and City Council of Baltimore.
As a result, the California cases were sent back to the 9th Circuit
for further appellate review of the decision to remand the cases to
state court. The 9th
Circuit has since, once again, affirmed the district court’s remand
to state court.
The defendants are appealing this latest remand decision to the
U.S. Supreme Court. Further activity in the cases has been stayed
pending further appellate review.
On September 10, 2020, the State of Delaware filed suit,
individually and on behalf of the people of the State of Delaware,
against over 25 oil and gas companies alleging damages as a result
of global warming. Plaintiffs seek unspecified damages and
abatement under various tort theories. After removal of this
lawsuit to federal court, the district court remanded it back to
state court.
The remand order is being appealed to the 3rd
Circuit Court of Appeals. Further activity in the case has been
stayed pending this appellate review.
The Company believes that it is not subject to jurisdiction of the
California courts and that claims made against it in the California
and Delaware litigation are baseless. The Company intends to
challenge jurisdiction in California and to vigorously defend the
Delaware lawsuit.
Castex Lawsuit
In a case styled
Apache Corporation v. Castex Offshore, Inc., et.
al.,
Cause No. 2015-48580, in the 113th Judicial District Court of
Harris County, Texas, Castex filed claims for alleged damages of
approximately $200 million, relating to overspend on the Belle Isle
Gas Facility upgrade, and the drilling of five sidetracks on the
Potomac #3 well. After a jury trial, a verdict of
approximately $60 million, plus fees, costs, and interest was
entered against the Company. The Fourteenth Court of Appeals of
Texas reversed the judgment, in part, reducing the judgment to
approximately $13.5 million, plus fees, costs, and interest against
the Company. Further appeal is pending.
Oklahoma Class Actions
The Company is a party to two purported class actions in Oklahoma
styled
Bigie Lee Rhea v. Apache Corporation,
Case No. 6:14-cv-00433-JH, and
Albert Steven Allen v. Apache Corporation,
Case No. CJ-2019-00219.
In the
Rhea
case, which was certified, a class of royalty owners sought damages
of approximately $200 million for alleged breach of the implied
covenant to market relating to post-production deductions and
alleged NGL uplift value. With no admission of liability or
wrongdoing, but only to avoid the expense and uncertainty of future
litigation, Apache has entered into a settlement agreement in
the
Rhea
case to resolve all claims made against it by the class. The
settlement agreement is subject to court approval and a full
fairness hearing will be held in the coming months. The settlement
will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial
position, results of operations, or liquidity.
The
Allen
case has not been certified and seeks to represent a group of
owners who have allegedly received late royalty and other payments
under Oklahoma statutes. The amount of this claim is not yet
reasonably determinable. While adverse judgments against the
Company are possible, the Company intends to vigorously defend
these lawsuits and claims.
Shareholder and Derivative Lawsuits
On February 23, 2021, a case captioned
Plymouth County Retirement System v. Apache Corporation, et
al.
was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern
District of Texas (Houston Division) against the Company and
certain current and former officers. The complaint, which is a
shareholder lawsuit styled as a class action, (1) alleges that the
Company intentionally used unrealistic assumptions regarding the
amount and composition of available oil and gas in Alpine High; (2)
alleges that the Company did not have the proper infrastructure in
place to safely and/or economically drill and/or transport those
resources even if they existed in the amounts purported; (3)
alleges that these statements and omissions artificially inflated
the value of the Company’s operations in the Permian Basin; and (4)
alleges that, as a result, the Company’s public statements were
materially false and misleading. The Company believes that
plaintiffs’ claims lack merit and intends to vigorously defend this
lawsuit.
On March 16, 2021, a case captioned
William Wessels, Derivatively and on behalf of APA Corporation v.
John J. Christmann IV et al.
was filed in the 334th District Court of Harris County, Texas. The
case purports to be a derivative action brought against senior
management and Company directors over many of the same allegations
included in the
Plymouth County Retirement System
matter and asserts claims of (1) breach of fiduciary duty; (2)
waste of corporate assets; and (3) unjust enrichment. The
defendants believe the plaintiff’s claims lack merit and intend to
vigorously defend this lawsuit.
Environmental Matters
As of March 31, 2022, the Company had an undiscounted reserve for
environmental remediation of approximately
$2 million.
On September 11, 2020, the Company received a Notice of Violation
and Finding of Violation, and accompanying Clean Air Act
Information Request, from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) following site inspections in April 2019 at several of the
Company’s oil and natural gas production facilities in Lea and Eddy
Counties, New Mexico. The notice and information request involve
alleged emissions control and reporting violations. The Company is
cooperating with the EPA and has responded to the information
request. The EPA has referred the notice for civil enforcement
proceedings; however, at this time the Company is unable to
reasonably estimate whether such proceedings will result in
monetary sanctions and, if so, whether they would be more or less
than $100,000, exclusive of interest and costs.
On December 29, 2020, the Company received a Notice of Violation
and Opportunity to Confer, and accompanying Clean Air Act
Information Request, from the EPA following helicopter flyovers in
September 2019 of several of the Company’s oil and natural gas
production facilities in Reeves County, Texas. The notice and
information request involve alleged emissions control and reporting
violations. The Company is cooperating with the EPA and has
responded to the information request. The EPA has referred the
notice for civil enforcement proceedings; however, at this time the
Company is unable to reasonably estimate whether such proceedings
will result in monetary sanctions and, if so, whether they would be
more or less than $100,000, exclusive of interest and
costs.
The Company is not aware of any environmental claims existing as of
March 31, 2022 that have not been provided for or would otherwise
have a material impact on its financial position, results of
operations, or liquidity. There can be no assurance, however, that
current regulatory requirements will not change or past
non-compliance with environmental laws will not be discovered on
the Company’s properties.
Potential Decommissioning Obligations on Sold
Properties
In 2013, Apache sold its Gulf of Mexico (GOM) Shelf operations and
properties and its GOM operating subsidiary, GOM Shelf LLC (GOM
Shelf) to Fieldwood Energy LLC (Fieldwood). Under the terms of the
purchase agreement, Apache received cash consideration of $3.75
billion and Fieldwood assumed the obligation to decommission the
properties held by GOM Shelf and the properties acquired from
Apache and its other subsidiaries (collectively, the Legacy GOM
Assets). In respect of such abandonment obligations, Fieldwood
posted letters of credit in favor of Apache (Letters of Credit) and
established trust accounts (Trust A and Trust B) of which Apache
was a beneficiary and which were funded by two net profits
interests (NPIs) depending on future oil prices. On February 14,
2018, Fieldwood filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code. In connection with the 2018 bankruptcy, Fieldwood
confirmed a plan under which Apache agreed, inter alia, to (i)
accept bonds in exchange for certain of the Letters of Credit and
(ii) amend the Trust A trust agreement and one of the NPIs to
consolidate the trusts into a single Trust (Trust A) funded by both
remaining NPIs. Currently, Apache holds two bonds (Bonds) and five
Letters of Credit to secure Fieldwood’s asset retirement
obligations on the Legacy GOM Assets as and when Apache is required
to perform or pay for decommissioning any Legacy GOM Asset over the
remaining life of the Legacy GOM Assets.
On August 3, 2020, Fieldwood again filed for protection under
Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. On June 25, 2021, the
United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas
(Houston Division) entered an order confirming Fieldwood’s
bankruptcy plan. On August 27, 2021, Fieldwood’s bankruptcy plan
became effective. Pursuant to the plan, the Legacy GOM Assets were
separated into a standalone company, which was subsequently merged
into GOM Shelf. Under GOM Shelf’s limited liability company
agreement, the proceeds of production of the Legacy GOM Assets will
be used to fund decommissioning of Legacy GOM Assets.
By letter dated April 5, 2022, replacing two prior letters dated
September 8, 2021 and February 22, 2022, respectively, GOM Shelf
notified the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE)
that it was unable to fund the decommissioning obligations that it
is currently obligated to perform on certain of the Legacy GOM
Assets. As a result, Apache and other current and former owners in
these assets have received orders from BSEE to decommission certain
of the Legacy GOM Assets included in GOM Shelf’s notification to
BSEE. Apache expects to receive such orders on the other Legacy GOM
Assets included in GOM Shelf’s notification letter. Further, Apache
anticipates that GOM Shelf may send additional such notices to BSEE
in the future and that it may receive additional orders from BSEE
requiring it to decommission other Legacy GOM Assets.
If Apache incurs costs to decommission any Legacy GOM Asset and GOM
Shelf does not reimburse Apache for such costs, then Apache will
obtain reimbursement from Trust A, the Bonds, and the Letters of
Credit until such funds and securities are fully utilized. In
addition, after such sources have been exhausted, Apache has agreed
to provide a standby loan to GOM Shelf of up to $400 million
to perform decommissioning (Standby Loan Agreement), with such
standby loan secured by a first and prior lien on the Legacy GOM
Assets.
If the combination of GOM Shelf’s net cash flow from its producing
properties, the Trust A funds, the Bonds, and the remaining Letters
of Credit are insufficient to fully fund decommissioning of any
Legacy GOM Assets that Apache may be ordered by BSEE to perform, or
if GOM Shelf’s net cash flow from its remaining producing
properties after the Trust A funds, Bonds, and Letters of Credit
are exhausted is insufficient to repay any loans made by Apache
under the Standby Loan Agreement, then Apache may be forced to
effectively use its available cash to fund the
deficit.
As of March 31, 2022, Apache estimates that its potential liability
to fund decommissioning of Legacy GOM Assets it may be ordered to
perform ranges from $1.2 billion to $1.4 billion on an
undiscounted basis. Management does not believe any specific
estimate within this range is a better estimate than any other.
Accordingly, the Company has recorded a contingent liability of
$1.2 billion as of March 31, 2022, representing the estimated
costs of decommissioning it may be required to perform on Legacy
GOM Assets. Of the total liability recorded, $1.1 billion is
reflected under the caption “Decommissioning contingency for sold
Gulf of Mexico properties,” and $100 million is reflected
under “Other current liabilities” in the Company’s consolidated
balance sheet. The Company has also recorded a $740 million
asset, which represents the amount the Company expects to be
reimbursed from the Trust A funds, the Bonds, and the Letters of
Credit for decommissioning it may be required to perform on Legacy
GOM Assets. Of the total asset recorded, $640 million is
reflected under the caption “Decommissioning security for sold Gulf
of Mexico properties,” and $100 million is reflected under
“Other current assets.” Changes in significant assumptions
impacting Apache’s estimated liability, including expected
decommissioning rig spread rates, lift boat rates, and planned
abandonment logistics could result in a liability in excess of the
amount accrued. In addition, significant changes in the market
price of oil, gas, and NGLs could further impact Apache’s estimate
of its contingent liability to decommission Legacy GOM
Assets.
12. REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTEREST —
ALTUS
Preferred Units Issuance
On June 12, 2019, Altus Midstream LP issued and sold Preferred
Units for an aggregate issue price of $625 million in a private
offering exempt from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act (the Closing). Altus Midstream LP received
approximately $611 million in cash proceeds from the sale after
deducting transaction costs and discounts to certain
purchasers.
Classification
Prior to the deconsolidation of Altus on February 22, 2022, at
December 31, 2021, the carrying amount of the Preferred Units was
recorded as “Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest — Altus Preferred
Unit Limited Partners” classified as temporary equity on the
Company’s consolidated balance sheet based on the terms of the
Preferred Units, including the redemption rights with respect
thereto.
Measurement
Altus applied a two-step approach to subsequent measurement of the
redeemable noncontrolling interest related to the Preferred Units
by first allocating a portion of the net income of Altus Midstream
LP in accordance with the terms of the partnership agreement. An
additional adjustment to the carrying value of the Preferred Unit
redeemable noncontrolling interest at each period end was recorded,
if applicable. The amount of such adjustment was determined based
upon the accreted value method to reflect the passage of time until
the Preferred Units were exchangeable at the option of the holder.
Pursuant to this method, the net transaction price was accreted
using the effective interest method to the Redemption Price
calculated at the seventh anniversary of the Closing. The total
adjustment was limited to an amount such that the carrying amount
of the Preferred Unit redeemable noncontrolling interest at each
period end was equal to the greater of (a) the sum of (i) the
carrying amount of the Preferred Units, plus (ii) the fair value of
the embedded derivative liability and (b) the accreted value of the
net transaction price.

13. CAPITAL STOCK
Upon consummation of the Holding Company Reorganization, each
outstanding share of Apache common stock automatically converted
into a share of APA common stock on a one-for-one basis. As a
result, each stockholder of Apache now owns the same number of
shares of APA common stock that such stockholder owned of Apache
common stock immediately prior to the Holding Company
Reorganization.
Additionally, in connection with the Holding Company
Reorganization, Apache transferred to APA, and APA assumed,
sponsorship of all of Apache’s stock plans along with all of
Apache’s rights and obligations under each plan.

Prior to the deconsolidation of Altus on February 22, 2022, the
Company used the “if-converted method” to determine the potential
dilutive effect of an assumed exchange of the outstanding Preferred
Units of Altus Midstream LP for shares of Altus Midstream Company’s
common stock. The impact to net income attributable to common stock
on an assumed conversion of the Preferred Units was anti-dilutive
for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. The diluted earnings per
share calculation excludes options and restricted stock units that
were anti-dilutive of 2.9 million and 4.0 million during the first
quarters of 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Stock Repurchase Program
During 2018, Apache’s Board of Directors authorized the purchase of
up to 40 million shares of the Company’s common stock. No
shares were purchased under this authorization through December 31,
2020. During the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company’s Board of
Directors authorized the purchase of an additional 40 million
shares of the Company’s common stock. Shares may be purchased
either in the open market or through privately held negotiated
transactions.
In the first quarter of 2022, the Company repurchased
7.2 million shares at an average price of $36.08 per share,
and as of March 31, 2022, the Company had remaining authorization
to repurchase up to 41.6 million shares. The Company is not
obligated to acquire any additional shares. The Company did not
repurchase any shares during the first quarter of
2021.
Common Stock Dividends
During the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company paid
$43 million and $9 million, respectively, in dividends on its
common stock.
During the third quarter of 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors
approved an increase in its quarterly dividend from $0.025 per
share to $0.0625 per share and, in the fourth quarter of 2021,
approved a further increase to $0.125 per share.
14. BUSINESS SEGMENT

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
The following discussion relates to APA Corporation (APA or the
Company) and its consolidated subsidiaries and should be read
together with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and
accompanying notes included in Part I,
Item 1—Financial
Statements
of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as related
information set forth in the Company’s Consolidated Financial
Statements, accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements, and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations included in the Company’s
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2021.
On March 1, 2021, Apache Corporation consummated a holding company
reorganization (the Holding Company Reorganization), pursuant to
which Apache Corporation became a direct, wholly owned subsidiary
of APA Corporation, and all of Apache Corporation’s outstanding
shares automatically converted into equivalent corresponding shares
of APA Corporation. Pursuant to the Holding Company Reorganization,
APA Corporation became the successor issuer to Apache Corporation
pursuant to Rule 12g-3(a) under the Exchange Act and replaced
Apache Corporation as the public company trading on the Nasdaq
Global Select Market under the ticker symbol “APA.” The Holding
Company Reorganization modernized the Company’s operating and legal
structure to more closely align with its growing international
presence, making it more consistent with other companies that have
subsidiaries operating around the globe.
Overview
APA is an independent energy company that explores for, develops,
and produces natural gas, crude oil, and natural gas liquids
(NGLs). The Company’s upstream business currently has exploration
and production operations in three geographic areas: the U.S.,
Egypt, and offshore the U.K. in the North Sea (North Sea). APA also
has active exploration and appraisal operations ongoing in
Suriname, as well as interests in other international locations
that may, over time, result in reportable discoveries and
development opportunities. Prior to the BCP Business Combination
defined below, the Company’s midstream business was operated by
Altus Midstream Company (ALTM) through its subsidiary Altus
Midstream LP (collectively, Altus). Altus owned, developed, and
operated a midstream energy asset network in the Permian Basin of
West Texas.
APA believes energy underpins global progress, and the Company aims
to be a part of the conversation and solution as society works to
meet growing global demand for reliable and affordable energy.
Today, the world faces a dual challenge: To meet growing demand for
energy and to do so in a cleaner, more sustainable way. APA
believes society can accomplish both and strives to meet those
challenges while creating value for all its
stakeholders.
The global economy and the energy industry have been deeply
impacted by the effects of the conflict in Ukraine and coronavirus
disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and related governmental actions.
Uncertainties in the global supply chain, commodity prices, and
financial markets continue to impact oil supply and demand. Despite
these uncertainties, the Company remains committed to its
longer-term objectives: (1) to maintain a balanced asset portfolio,
including advancement of ongoing exploration and appraisal
activities offshore Suriname; (2) to invest for long-term returns
over production growth; and (3) to budget conservatively to
generate cash flow in excess of its upstream exploration,
appraisal, and development capital program that can be directed to
debt reduction, share repurchases, and other return of capital to
its stakeholders. The Company continues to aggressively manage its
cost structure regardless of the oil price environment and closely
monitors hydrocarbon pricing fundamentals to reallocate capital as
part of its ongoing planning process. For additional detail on the
Company’s forward capital investment outlook, refer to “Capital
Resources and Liquidity” below.
In the first quarter of 2022, the Company reported net income
attributable to common stock of $1.9 billion, or $5.43 per diluted
share, compared to net income of $388 million, or $1.02 per diluted
share, in the first quarter of 2021. Net income for the first
quarter of 2022 benefited from higher revenue attributable to a new
merged concession agreement in Egypt, significantly improved
commodity prices, and a gain of $1.2 billion associated with asset
divestitures. The increase in realized prices was primarily driven
by effects of the conflict in Ukraine on global commodity prices,
uncertainties around spare capacity and energy security globally,
and increased economic activity compared to the first quarter of
2021.
The Company generated $891 million of cash from operating
activities during the first three months of 2022, a 33 percent
increase from the first three months of 2021, driven by higher
revenue attributable to the new merged concession agreement in
Egypt and higher commodity prices. Since year-end 2021, the Company
has reduced its total outstanding debt and redeemable preferred
interests by $1.6 billion and $712 million, respectively,
through the deconsolidation of ALTM and the retirement of
outstanding notes and debentures. The Company also repurchased
7.2 million shares of its common stock for $261 million
during the quarter. The Company had $234 million of cash on hand at
March 31, 2022.
Following this progress and considering the ongoing constructive
price environment, the Company remains committed to its capital
return framework established in the prior year for equity holders
to participate more directly and materially in cash
returns.
•The
Company believes returning 60 percent of cash flow over capital
investment creates a good balance for providing near-term cash
returns to shareholders while still recognizing the importance of
longer-term balance sheet strengthening.
•The
Company’s quarterly dividend was increased in the third quarter of
2021 from $0.025 per share to $0.0625 per share and, in the fourth
quarter of 2021 further increased to $0.125 per share.
•Beginning
in the fourth quarter of 2021 and through the end of the first
quarter of 2022, the Company has repurchased 38.4 million shares of
the Company’s common stock. As of March 31, 2022, the Company had
remaining authorization to repurchase up to 41.6 million shares
under the Company’s share repurchase programs.
The Company does not anticipate any significant changes to the
activity levels set forth in its three-year capital investment
program or capital return framework in the context of higher strip
oil and gas prices, remaining committed to safe, steady, and
efficient operations across all assets and returning free cash flow
to shareholders through dividends and share
repurchases.
Operational Highlights
Key operational highlights for the quarter include:
United States
•Daily
boe production from the Company’s U.S. assets accounted for 52
percent of its total production during the first quarter of 2022.
The Company averaged three rigs in the U.S. during the quarter and
has recently added a fourth rig in the Delaware Basin. The Company
anticipates that the current level of activity will enable it to
return U.S. oil production to a modest rate of growth by the second
half of 2022.
•On
February 22, 2022, ALTM closed a previously announced transaction
to combine with privately owned BCP Raptor Holdco LP (BCP and,
together with BCP Raptor Holdco GP, LLC, the Contributed Entities)
in an all-stock transaction, pursuant to the Contribution Agreement
entered into by and among ALTM, Altus Midstream LP, New BCP Raptor
Holdco, LLC (the Contributor), and BCP (the BCP Contribution
Agreement). Upon closing the transaction, the combined entity was
renamed Kinetik Holdings Inc. (Kinetik). As consideration for the
contribution of the Contributed Interests, ALTM issued 50 million
shares of Class C Common Stock (and Altus Midstream LP issued a
corresponding number of common units) to BCP’s
unitholders.
ALTM’s stockholders continued to hold their existing shares of ALTM
Common Stock. Apache Midstream LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of
APA, which owned approximately 79 percent of the issued and
outstanding shares of ALTM Common Stock prior to the BCP Business
Combination, owned approximately 20 percent of the issued and
outstanding shares of ALTM Common Stock after the transaction
closed. The Company deconsolidated ALTM upon closing the
transaction and recognized a gain of approximately $609 million
that reflects the difference of the Company’s share of ALTM’s
deconsolidated balance sheet and the fair value of its 20 percent
retained ownership in the combined entity.
Subsequent to the close of the transaction, in March 2022, the
Company sold four million of its shares in Kinetik for $224
million, reducing the Company’s retained ownership percentage in
Kinetik to approximately 13 percent.
•In
March 2022, the Company completed the previously announced
transaction to sell certain non-core mineral rights in the Delaware
Basin for total cash proceeds of approximately $759 million after
certain post-closing adjustments. The Company recognized a gain of
approximately $590 million from the transaction.
International
•In
Egypt, the Company averaged 11 drilling rigs and drilled 15
productive wells during the first quarter of 2022. First quarter
2022 gross equivalent production in the Company’s Egypt assets
decreased 1 percent from the first quarter of 2021, while net
production increased 26 percent, primarily a function of improved
cost recovery under the new merged concession agreement ratified at
the end of 2021. The Company continues to build and enhance its
drilling inventory in Egypt, supplemented with recent seismic
acquisitions and new play concept evaluations on both new and
existing acreage. The Company plans to increase drilling and
workover activity as a result of the merged concession
agreement.
•The
Company averaged one rig in the North Sea during the first quarter
of 2022. Production was impacted by unplanned inspection downtime
at the Forties Echo platform during the first quarter of
2022.
•In
February 2022, the Company and TotalEnergies announced an oil
discovery at the Krabdagu-1 (KBD-1) exploration well offshore
Suriname in Block 58. KBD-1 is located approximately 18 kilometers
southeast of the Sapakara South-1 well. The well was designed to
test multiple stacked targets in Maastrichtian and Campanian
intervals and encountered approximately 90 meters (295 feet) of net
oil pay.
•In
late March 2022, the Company spud an exploration well on the Rasper
prospect offshore Suriname in Block 53, and drilling operations are
ongoing.
