Explanatory Note

Apache Corporation (“Apache” or “the Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A to its Annual Report on Form 10-K (this “Amendment”) solely to amend the signature page and the related Exhibit 24.1, which were inadvertently omitted from the original Form 10-K filed on February 29, 2012 (the “Original Form 10-K”). The original signature page was executed on February 28, 2011, and was in the Company’s possession at the time of the filing. In addition, we are including in this Amendment currently dated certifications from our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as required by Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 in Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2. Except as described above, no attempt has been made in this Amendment to modify or update disclosures presented in the Original Form 10-K. This Amendment does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Original Form 10-K or modify or update those disclosures. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original Form 10-K and our filings with the SEC subsequent to the filing of the Original Form 10-K.
