 SUPPLEMENTAL OIL AND GAS DISCLOSURES (Unaudited)
Oil and Gas Operations
The following table sets forth revenue and direct cost information relating to the Company’s oil and gas exploration and production activities. Apache has no long-term agreements to purchase oil or gas production from foreign governments or authorities. In the second quarter of 2015, Apache completed the sale of its Australian LNG business and oil and gas assets, and as such the results of Australia oil and gas assets have been classified as discontinued operations.

Oil and Gas Reserve Information
Proved oil and gas reserves are the estimated quantities of natural gas, crude oil, condensate, and natural gas liquids (NGLs) that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing conditions, operating conditions, and government regulations. Estimated proved developed oil and gas reserves can be expected to be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods. The Company reports all estimated proved reserves held under production-sharing arrangements utilizing the “economic interest” method, which excludes the host country’s share of reserves.

Estimated reserves that can be produced economically through application of improved recovery techniques are included in the “proved” classification when successful testing by a pilot project or the operation of an active, improved recovery program using reliable technology establishes the reasonable certainty for the engineering analysis on which the project or program is based. Economically producible means a resource which generates revenue that exceeds, or is reasonably expected to exceed, the costs of the operation. Reasonable certainty means a high degree of confidence that the quantities will be recovered. Reliable technology is a grouping of one or more technologies (including computational methods) that has been field-tested and has been demonstrated to provide reasonably certain results with consistency and repeatability in the formation being evaluated or in an analogous formation. In estimating its proved reserves, Apache uses several different traditional methods that can be classified in three general categories: 1) performance-based methods; 2) volumetric-based methods; and 3) analogy with similar properties. Apache will, at times, utilize additional technical analysis such as computer reservoir models, petrophysical techniques, and proprietary 3-D seismic interpretation methods to provide additional support for more complex reservoirs. Information from this additional analysis is combined with traditional methods outlined above to enhance the certainty of Apache’s reserve estimates.

There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of proved reserves and projecting future rates of production and timing of development expenditures. The reserve data in the following tables only represent estimates and should not be construed as being exact.

(1)    2017, 2016, 2015, and 2014 include total proved reserves of 80 MMboe, 93 MMboe, 101MMboe, and 93 MMboe, respectively, attributable to a noncontrolling interest in Egypt.

During 2017, Apache sold a combined 212 MMboe primarily through divestiture transactions in Canada. The Company added 2 MMboe of estimated proved reserves through purchases of minerals in-place and 230 MMboe from extensions, discoveries, and other additions. The Company recorded 169 MMboe of exploration and development adds in North America, primarily associated with Woodford, Bone Springs, Yeso, Barnett, and Wolfcamp drilling programs in the Permian Basin (128 MMboe), Montney and Duverney drilling in Canada (24 MMboe), and Woodford and Austin Chalk drilling activity in the MidContinent region (17 MMboe).
The international regions contributed 61 MMboe of exploration and development adds during 2017 with Egypt contributing 41 MMboe from onshore exploration and appraisal activity in the Khalda Extension 2, Khalda, Khalda Extension 3, Matruh, and West Kalabsha concessions. The North Sea offshore region contributed 20 MMboe from drilling success in the Beryl and Forties fields.
During 2017, Apache also had combined upward revisions of previously estimated reserves of 10 MMboe. Changes in product prices accounted for 32 MMboe, offset by engineering and performance downward revisions totaling 22 MMboe.
Approximately 9 percent of Apache’s year-end 2017 estimated proved developed reserves are classified as proved not producing. These reserves relate to zones that are either behind pipe, or that have been completed but not yet produced, or zones that have been produced in the past, but are not now producing because of mechanical reasons. These reserves are considered to be a lower tier of reserves than producing reserves because they are frequently based on volumetric calculations rather than performance data. Future production associated with behind pipe reserves is scheduled to follow depletion of the currently producing zones in the same wellbores. Additional capital may have to be spent to access these reserves. The capital and economic impact of production timing are reflected in this Note 15, under “Future Net Cash Flows.”
Future Net Cash Flows
Future cash inflows as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 were calculated using an unweighted arithmetic average of oil and gas prices in effect on the first day of each month in the respective year, except where prices are defined by contractual arrangements. Operating costs, production and ad valorem taxes and future development costs are based on current costs with no escalation.

The following table sets forth unaudited information concerning future net cash flows for proved oil and gas reserves, net of income tax expense. Income tax expense has been computed using expected future tax rates and giving effect to tax deductions and credits available, under current laws, and which relate to oil and gas producing activities. This information does not purport to present the fair market value of the Company’s oil and gas assets, but does present a standardized disclosure concerning possible future net cash flows that would result under the assumptions used.
