Apache is the second largest operated volume producer of oil and gas in the Carnarvon Basin in Western Australia. We operate 16 oil and gas production facilities, providing in excess of 30 percent of the State’s domestic natural gas supply.
Stewardship
Make the world better.
Apache’s business is to provide the world with the energy it needs. An integral part of that business is building enduring relationships with the communities in which we operate through a lasting commitment to environmental stewardship, education, civic improvement and rewarding careers.
In Australia, Apache focuses on supporting the communities and sensitive environments in which it operates through extensive commitments and volunteer activities.
