			<title>APACHE CORPORATION</title>
			<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img height=&quot;65&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; hspace=&quot;10&quot; src=&quot;/attachments/wysiwyg/5/apache_for_web.jpg&quot; width=&quot;150&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; vspace=&quot;10&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;Apache was formed in 1954 with the simple concept of becoming a significant and profitable oil company.&amp;nbsp; We have grown&amp;nbsp;&#8212; through the determination of our people&amp;nbsp;&#8212; to become one of the world&#8217;s top independent oil and gas exploration and development companies with $24.3 billion in assets.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Apache&#8217;s goal is to grow a profitable oil and gas company for the long-term benefit of our shareholders.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Our strategy is to build a portfolio of core areas which provide growth opportunities through both grass-roots drilling and acquisition activity.&amp;nbsp; We now have operations in six countries &#8212; the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.apachecorp.com/About_Us/Global_Strategy_and_Operations/Operations_Overview/United_States/&quot;&gt;United States&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.apachecorp.com/About_Us/Global_Strategy_and_Operations/Operations_Overview/Canada/&quot;&gt;Canada&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.apachecorp.com/About_Us/Global_Strategy_and_Operations/Operations_Overview/Egypt/&quot;&gt;Egypt&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.apachecorp.com/About_Us/Global_Strategy_and_Operations/Operations_Overview/Australia/&quot;&gt;Australia&lt;/a&gt;, the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.apachecorp.com/About_Us/Global_Strategy_and_Operations/Operations_Overview/UK_North_Sea/&quot;&gt;United Kingdom&lt;/a&gt; and our newest core area&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.apachecorp.com/About_Us/Global_Strategy_and_Operations/Operations_Overview/Argentina/&quot;&gt;Argentina&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Whether in our oldest region, the U.S. Central region, or our newest, we seek to grow profitably while building critical mass that supports sustainable, lower-risk, repeatable drilling opportunities, balanced by higher-risk, higher-reward exploration. We also seek a balance in terms of gas vs. oil, geologic risk, reserve life and political risk.&lt;/p&gt;
