ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT
We have not authorized anyone to provide any information other than that contained or incorporated by reference in this
prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus or any free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of us or to which we
have referred you. We take no responsibility for, and can provide no assurance as to the reliability of, any other information that
others may give you. We are not, and the underwriters are not, making an offer to sell the notes in any jurisdiction where the offer or
sale is not permitted. You should assume that the information contained in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying
prospectus is accurate only as of the respective dates on the front covers of those documents. You should assume that the information
incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus is accurate only as of the date the
respective information was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which we refer to as the "SEC." Our business,
financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since those dates.
This prospectus supplement is part of a registration statement that we have filed with the SEC utilizing a "shelf" registration
process. Under this shelf process, we are offering to sell the notes, using this prospectus supplement and the accompanying
prospectus. This prospectus supplement describes the specific terms of this offering. The accompanying prospectus and the
information incorporated by reference therein describe our business and give more general information, some of which may not apply
to this offering. Generally, when we refer in this prospectus supplement only to the "prospectus," we are referring to both parts
combined. You should read this prospectus supplement together with the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by
reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus before making a decision to invest in the notes. If the
information in this prospectus supplement or the information incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement is inconsistent
with the information contained or incorporated in the accompanying prospectus, the information in this prospectus supplement or the
information incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement will apply and will supersede the information contained or
incorporated in the accompanying prospectus.
We have filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-3 with respect to the notes offered hereby. This prospectus
supplement and the accompanying prospectus do not contain all the information set forth in the registration statement, parts of which
are omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. For further information with respect to us and the notes offered
hereby, reference is made to the registration statement and the exhibits that are a part of the registration statement.
In this prospectus supplement, unless the context indicates otherwise, the terms "Apache," "we," "us," "Company" and "our"
refer to Apache Corporation and its subsidiaries.
Our name, logo and other trademarks mentioned in this prospectus supplement are the property of their respective owners.
DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE
We have "incorporated by reference" in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus certain documents that we
file with the SEC. This means that we can disclose important information to you by referring you to another document filed separately
with the SEC. This information incorporated by reference is a part of this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus,
unless we provide you with different information in this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus or the information is
modified or superseded by a subsequently filed document. Any information referred to in this way is considered part of this
prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus from the date we file that document.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
This prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus
supplement and the accompanying prospectus contain statements that constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, or the "Securities Act," and Section 21E of the Exchange Act.
These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance, which involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially
different from those expressed or implied by any forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking
statements by terminology such as "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "intend," "may," "will," "could," "would," "should," "predict,"
"potential," "plans," "believe" or the negative of these terms or similar terminology.
Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance. Actual events or results may differ materially because of
conditions in our markets or other factors. Moreover, we do not, nor does any other person, assume responsibility for the accuracy
and completeness of those statements. Unless otherwise required by applicable securities laws, we disclaim any intention or
obligation to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this prospectus supplement. If we do update one or more
forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that we will make additional updates with respect to those or other
forward-looking statements. All of the forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the factors discussed
under "Risk Factors" in this prospectus supplement and under "Risk Factors" and "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About
Market Risk -- Forward-Looking Statements and Risk" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011
(which is incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus) and similar sections in any
subsequent filings that we incorporate by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, which describe
risks and factors that could cause results to differ materially from those projected in those forward-looking statements.
Those risk factors may not be exhaustive. We operate in a continually changing business environment, and new risk factors
emerge from time to time. We cannot predict these new risk factors, nor can we assess the impact, if any, of these new risk factors on
our businesses or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those
described in any forward-looking statements. Accordingly, forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as a prediction of
actual results.
