Subsidiary: Apache Corporation

Apache was founded in the United States in 1954 and has operated across different basins of the country throughout its history. Since 1992, its corporate headquarters have been in Houston, Texas, the center of the global natural gas and oil industry. Today, the company’s U.S. operations and interests are primarily in the Permian Basin, with assets in the Eagle Ford shale and Austin Chalk areas of southeast Texas, the Gulf Coast and the Gulf of Mexico.

Apache has been operating in the Permian Basin of Texas and New Mexico since the 1990s. The area has played a significant role in the company’s long-term strategy, offering both conventional and unconventional opportunities. As of Dec. 31, 2022, the company has nearly 6,000 wells covering a gross acreage position of 3.5 million acres with exposure to numerous plays primarily located in the Midland Basin, the Central Basin Platform/Northwest Shelf and the Delaware Basin. The company has estimated proved reserves of 607 MMboe, representing 68% of its worldwide proved reserves. In 2022, the U.S. total production was 77.4 MMboe or 53% of total production.

Apache also holds an interest in the Eagle Ford shale and Austin Chalk areas of southeast Texas play in Burleson and Brazos Counties.

Apache’s presence in the Gulf Coast and Gulf of Mexico includes fee acreage in southern Louisiana and interest in deepwater exploration and development. In Louisiana, Apache manages 270,000 acres of land to protect swamps, marshes and the species that call these areas home. The company’s efforts include rebuilding shorelines to keep out saltier waters that harm marsh grasses and supporting sustainable harvesting and ranching operations that have helped bring back alligators from the brink of extinction.

In the Gulf of Mexico, the company has interest in several deepwater exploration and development offshore leases. In 2013, when the company sold its offshore assets in water depths less than 1,000 feet, it retained a 50% ownership interest in deeper targets and access to existing infrastructure, providing future optionality.
