Biodiversity
In many areas, Apache’s business goal — recovering more of the oil and gas resources beneath the surface — is aligned with broader environmental goals, including preserving marshes that are a nursery for many of the most valuable fish and shrimp catches in the Gulf of Mexico.
Greenhouse Gases
Apache’s efficiencies in greenhouse gas emissions have come from projects large and small: Replacing diesel generators with high-efficiency natural gas powered units; installing advanced metering and monitoring systems; and extending the life of fields by injecting carbon dioxide into underground reservoirs that otherwise would have been emitted by smokestacks.
Resources
Apache has years of experience dealing with water issues in drilling and production operations and seeking solutions that rely on non-potable water in its operations. This reduces the impact on regional aquifers, lakes and rivers used for local water supplies.
