Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRIP)

Apache Corporation's DRIP provides two ways for shareholders of record to purchase additional shares of Apache common stock.

1. Automatically reinvest all or a portion of the cash dividends paid on Apache's common stock; and/or
   
   
2. As a shareholder of record, make additional direct cash investments from $50 to $25,000 per calendar quarter in Apache stock. 

Enrollment

The important first step is making sure you are a shareholder of record, meaning that your stock is held in your name, directly on the records of Apache’s transfer agent, Wells Fargo Bank N.A.  To participate in the plan, you must have at least one share of stock held in your name with Wells Fargo.  Note that the DRIP is not a direct purchase program through which you can purchase your first share.

Beneficial owners, whose shares of Apache stock are held for them in “street name” by brokers, bank nominees or trustees, are not shareholders of record; however, they can have the shares they wish to enroll in the plan transferred into their own names. Please consult your broker or trustee for further information on this step; any fees and paperwork requirements are established by brokers and trustees, not by Apache or Wells Fargo.

Shareholders of record may THEN enroll in the plan in one of two ways:

1. Complete an authorization card.  To request a plan authorization card, please contact Wells Fargo, the plan agent, by phone or mail:
