| ITEM 2.01. | COMPLETION OF ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS |
On July 18, 2013, Apache Corporation (Apache or the Company) and Fieldwood Energy LLC (Fieldwood), an affiliate of Riverstone Holdings, entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Agreement”), pursuant to which Apache agreed to sell its Gulf of Mexico Shelf operations and properties to Fieldwood for a purchase price of $3.75 billion, subject to customary adjustments to reflect an economic effective date of July 1, 2013. The transaction closed on September 30, 2013. In the transaction, Fieldwood assumed all asset retirement obligations for the acquired properties, which are estimated by Apache to be at a discounted value of approximately $1.5 billion. Apache has retained 50 percent of its ownership interest in all exploration blocks and in horizons below production in developed blocks, where high-potential deep hydrocarbon plays are being tested. The Company intends to use the proceeds from the transaction to reduce debt and enhance financial flexibility. Pursuant to the Agreement, Apache will continue to operate the acquired properties during a transitional period.
