Our Mission

Our mission is to build a dynamic, global exploration and production company to provide oil and natural gas for the purpose of advancing the quality of human lives.

1. We will conduct our business from a foundation of integrity and respect for people, their cultures and traditions.
2. We derive benefit from the Earth and take our environmental responsibility seriously.
3. Profit from our growing business is the glue that unites Apache employees, partners, suppliers and shareholders in the fulfillment of our long-term mission.

Our Values

Grow, succeed, innovate - and do it faster than the guys down the street.

The values our company was founded upon — integrity, respect, individual initiative, innovation and striving for excellence — are essential today. After far-ranging discussions of the morals, ethics and ideals that should guide a global enterprise, we defined five core values for Apache:

1. Conduct business with honesty and integrity,
2. Respect and invest in our greatest asset: our people,
3. Conduct business with respect for people, cultures and traditions,
4. Foster an entrepreneurial spirit; expect and reward innovation and creativity, and
5. Drive to succeed with a sense of urgency.

Apache's continued growth and global expansion depend on these values to guide strategies, decisions and actions into the future.
