ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS

On March 12, 2014, Apache’s subsidiaries completed the sale of all of the Company’s operations in Argentina to YPF Sociedad Anónima for cash consideration of $800 million plus the assumption of $52 million of bank debt as of June 30, 2013. As a result of the sale, the results of operations related to Argentina have been classified as discontinued operations.

Accordingly, we have recast certain information of our filing to reflect this transaction for all periods presented in the following sections of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 (the “Previously Filed Annual Report”) to reflect the Argentine business as discontinued operations for all periods presented:

• Part II, Item 6. Selected Financial Data,

• Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,

• Part II, Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, and

• Part IV, Item 15. Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules (sub-Item (a)(1) only excluding Report of Management on page F-1 and Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on page F-3 included in the Previously Filed Annual Report).

As this Current Report on Form 8-K is being filed only for the purpose described above, and only affects the Items specified above, the other information in the Previously Filed Annual Report remains unchanged. No attempt has been made in this Current Report on Form 8-K to modify or update disclosures in the Previously Filed Annual Report, except for the recast of certain financial information as described above. This Current Report on Form 8-K does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Previously Filed Annual Report with the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) on February 28, 2014. Accordingly, this Current Report on Form 8-K should be read in conjunction with the Previously Filed Annual Report and the Company’s filings made with the SEC subsequent to the filing of the Previously Filed Annual Report, including any amendments to those filings. In addition, on May 9, 2014, the Company filed a separate Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2014, reflecting the results of operations and assets and liabilities of the Argentine business as discontinued operations as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2014.
