Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

NATURE OF OPERATIONS

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Apache Corporation (Apache or the Company) without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). They reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods, on a basis consistent with the annual audited financial statements, with the exception of any recently adopted accounting pronouncements. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Certain information, accounting policies, and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read along with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, which contains a summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies and other disclosures.

On March 1, 2021, Apache Corporation, the Company’s predecessor registrant, consummated a holding company reorganization (the Holding Company Reorganization), pursuant to which Apache became a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of APA Corporation (APA), and all of Apache’s outstanding shares automatically converted into equivalent corresponding shares of APA. Pursuant to the Holding Company Reorganization, APA became the successor issuer to Apache pursuant to Rule 12g-3(a) under the Exchange Act and replaced Apache as the public company trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the ticker symbol “APA.” The Holding Company Reorganization modernized the Company’s operating and legal structure, making it more consistent with other companies that have affiliates operating around the globe.
