<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The following descriptions of our common stock and preferred stock, together with the additional information included in any applicable prospectus supplement,
summarize the material terms and provisions of these types of securities. For the complete terms of our common stock and preferred stock, please refer to our certificate of incorporation and bylaws that are incorporated by reference into the
registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. The terms of these securities may also be affected by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, our authorized capital stock currently consists of 860,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.625 par
value per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, no par value. We will describe the specific terms of any common stock or preferred stock we may offer in a prospectus supplement. If indicated in a prospectus supplement, the terms of any
common stock or preferred stock offered under that prospectus supplement may differ from the terms described below. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Common Stock </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As of May&nbsp;31, 2021, we had 378,016,119 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and approximately 11,472,674 shares of common stock reserved for
issuance pursuant to various employee benefit plans (including treasury shares authorized for issuance under those plans). The number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding varies from time to time. </P>

holder thereof to one vote on all matters to be voted on by our stockholders. Our common stock does not have cumulative voting rights. As a result, subject to the voting rights of any future holders of preferred stock, persons who hold more than
50&nbsp;percent of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to elect members of our board of directors can elect all of the directors who are up for election in a particular year. </P>

dividend, holders of common stock will receive payments from our funds that are legally available to pay dividends. This dividend right, however, is subject to any preferential dividend rights we may grant to future holders of preferred stock. </P>

stock will be entitled to share ratably in all the assets that remain after we pay our liabilities and any amounts we may owe to the persons who hold our preferred stock. </P>

stock do not have preemptive rights, and they have no right to convert their common stock into any other securities. Our common stock is not subject to redemption by us. Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws do not restrict the ability of
holders of common stock to transfer their shares of common stock. Delaware law provides that, if we make a distribution to our stockholders, other than a distribution of our capital stock, either when we are insolvent or when we would be rendered
insolvent, then our stockholders would be required to pay back to us the amount of the distribution we made to them, or the portion of the distribution that causes us to become insolvent as a result of such distribution, as the case may be. There
are no sinking fund provisions applicable to the common stock. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On February&nbsp;5, 2014, Apache&#146;s board of directors voted to terminate Apache&#146;s stockholder rights plan (the &#147;Rights Agreement&#148;). As a
result of this decision, Apache&#146;s board of directors approved an amendment to the Rights Agreement that had the effect of terminating the Rights. The amendment accelerated the expiration of the Rights from January&nbsp;31, 2016, to the close of
business on March&nbsp;7, 2014, and had the effect of terminating the Rights Agreement on that date. At the time of the termination of the Rights Agreement, all of the Rights distributed to holders of Apache&#146;s common stock pursuant to the
Rights Agreement expired. As no shares of Series A Preferred Stock were issued pursuant to the Rights Agreement, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock previously reserved for issuance under the Rights Agreement remain authorized but unissued

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The following description, together with any applicable prospectus supplement, summarizes all the material terms and provisions of the depositary shares that
we may offer under this prospectus and the related deposit agreements and depositary receipts. Specific deposit agreements and depositary receipts will contain additional important terms and provisions. The forms of the applicable deposit agreement
and depositary receipt will be incorporated by reference as an exhibit to the registration statement that includes this prospectus before we issue any depositary shares. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This summary of depositary agreements, depositary shares, and depositary receipts relates to terms and conditions applicable to these types of securities
generally. The particular terms of any series of depositary shares will be summarized in the applicable prospectus supplement. If indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, the terms of any series may differ from the terms summarized below.
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>General </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We may elect to offer fractional shares of
preferred stock rather than full shares of preferred stock. If so, we will issue &#147;depositary receipts&#148; for these &#147;depositary shares.&#148; Each depositary share will represent a fraction of a share of a particular series of preferred
stock. Each holder of a depositary share will be entitled, in proportion to the fraction of preferred stock represented by that depositary share, to all the rights, preferences, and privileges of the preferred stock, including dividend, voting,
redemption, conversion, and liquidation rights, if any, and all the limitations of the preferred stock. We will enter into a deposit agreement with a depositary, which will be named in the applicable prospectus supplement. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In order to issue depositary shares, we will issue preferred stock and immediately deposit these shares with the depositary. The depositary will then issue
and deliver depositary receipts to the persons who purchase depositary shares. Each whole depositary share issued by the depositary may represent a fraction of a share of preferred stock held by the depositary. The depositary will issue depositary
receipts in a form that reflects whole depositary shares, and each depositary receipt may evidence any number of whole depositary shares. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Pending the
preparation of definitive engraved depositary receipts, if any, a depositary may, upon our written order, issue temporary depositary receipts, which will temporarily entitle the holders to all the rights pertaining to the definitive depositary
receipts. We will bear the costs and expenses of promptly preparing definitive depositary receipts and of exchanging the temporary depositary receipts for such definitive depositary receipts. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The applicable prospectus supplement will identify the depositary&#146;s corporate trust office. Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, the
depositary will act as transfer agent and registrar for depositary receipts, and, if we redeem shares of preferred stock, the depositary will act as redemption agent for the corresponding depositary receipts. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Dividends and Other Distributions </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The depositary will
distribute all cash and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-cash</FONT> distributions it receives with respect to the underlying preferred stock to the record holders of depositary shares in proportion to the number of depositary shares they hold,
subject to any obligations of the record holders to file proofs, certificates, and other information and to pay any taxes or other governmental charges. Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, the relevant record date for depositary
shares will be the same date as the record date for the underlying preferred stock. In the case of any <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-cash</FONT> distribution, we may determine that the distribution cannot be made proportionately or the
depositary may determine that it may not be feasible to make the distribution. If so, the depositary may, with our approval, adopt a method it deems equitable and practicable to effect the distribution, including the sale, public or private, of the
securities or other <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-cash</FONT> property it receives in the distribution at a place and on terms it deems proper. The amounts distributed by the depositary will be reduced by any amount required to be withheld by
us or the depositary on account of taxes. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If a series of preferred stock underlying the depositary shares has a liquidation preference, in the event of our voluntary or involuntary liquidation,
dissolution, or winding up, holders of depositary shares will be entitled to receive the fraction of the liquidation preference accorded each share of the applicable series of preferred stock, as set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Redemption of Depositary Shares </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If the shares of
preferred stock that underlie the depositary shares are redeemable and we redeem the preferred stock, the depositary will redeem the depositary shares from the proceeds it receives from the redemption of the preferred stock it holds. The depositary
will redeem the number of depositary shares that represent the amount of underlying preferred stock that we have redeemed. The redemption price for depositary shares will be in proportion to the redemption price per share that we paid for the
underlying preferred stock. If we redeem less than all of the depositary shares, the depositary will select which depositary shares to redeem by lot or some substantially equivalent method. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">After a redemption date is fixed, the depositary shares to be redeemed no longer will be considered outstanding. The rights of the holders of the depositary
shares will cease, except for the rights to receive money or other property upon redemption. In order to redeem their depositary shares, holders must surrender their depositary receipts to the depositary. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Voting the Preferred Stock </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">When the depositary receives
notice about any meeting at which the holders of preferred stock are entitled to vote, the depositary will mail the information contained in the notice to the record holders of depositary shares related to that preferred stock. Each record holder of
depositary shares on the record date, which will be the same date as the record date for the preferred stock, will be entitled to instruct the depositary on how to vote the shares of preferred stock represented by that holder&#146;s depositary
shares. The depositary will endeavor, to the extent practicable, to vote the preferred stock represented by the depositary shares in accordance with these instructions. If the depositary does not receive instructions from the holders of the
depositary shares, the depositary will abstain from voting the preferred stock that underlies those depositary shares. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Withdrawal of Preferred Stock
</B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If a holder of depositary receipts surrenders those depositary receipts at the corporate office (as defined in the deposit agreement) of the
depositary, or any other office as the depositary may designate, and pays any taxes, charges, or fees, that holder is entitled to delivery at the corporate office of certificates evidencing the number of shares of preferred stock, but only in whole
shares, and any money and other property represented by those depositary receipts. If the depositary receipts we deliver evidence a number of depositary shares in excess of the number of whole shares of preferred stock to be withdrawn, the
depositary will deliver to us at the same time a new depositary receipt evidencing that excess number of depositary shares. In no event will the depositary deliver fractional shares of preferred stock upon surrender of depositary receipts. We do not
expect that there will be any public trading market for the shares of preferred stock except those represented by the depositary shares. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Amendment and
Termination of the Deposit Agreement </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We and the depositary can agree, at any time, to amend the form of depositary receipt and any provisions of the
deposit agreement. If, however, an amendment has a material adverse effect on the rights of the holders of related depositary shares, the holders of at least a majority of the depositary shares then outstanding must first approve the amendment.
Every holder of a depositary receipt at the time an amendment becomes effective will be bound by the amended deposit agreement. Subject to any conditions in the deposit agreement or applicable law, no

as provided in the deposit agreement. If these charges have not been paid by a holder of depositary receipts, the depositary may refuse to transfer depositary shares to such holder, withhold dividends and distributions from such holder, and sell the
depositary shares evidenced by such holder&#146;s depositary receipt. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Resignation and Removal of Depositary </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The depositary may submit notice of resignation at any time, or we may remove the depositary at any time. However, no resignation or removal will take effect
until we appoint a successor depositary and such successor depositary accepts such appointment, which must occur within 60 days after delivery of the notice of resignation or removal. Subject to the terms of the applicable deposit agreement, the
successor depositary must be a bank or trust company that has its principal office in the United States and has a combined capital and surplus as set forth in the applicable agreement. </P>

depositary receipts all notices, reports, and other communications, including proxy solicitation materials received from us, that are delivered to the depositary and that we are required to furnish to the holders of the preferred stock. In addition,
the depositary will make available for inspection by holders of depositary receipts at the principal office of the depositary, and at such other places as it may from time to time deem advisable, any reports and communications we deliver to the
depositary as the holder of preferred stock. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Limitation of Liability </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Neither APA nor the depositary will be liable if its ability to perform its obligations under the deposit agreement is prevented or delayed by law or any
circumstance beyond its control. Each of APA and the depositary will be obligated to use its best judgment and to act in good faith in performing its duties under the deposit agreement. Each of APA and the depositary will be liable only for its
gross negligence and willful misconduct in performing its duties under the deposit agreement. Neither APA nor the depositary will be obligated to appear in, prosecute, or defend any legal proceeding with respect to any depositary receipts,
depositary shares, or preferred stock unless it receives what it, in its sole discretion, determines to be a satisfactory indemnity from one or more holders of the depositary shares. Each of APA and the depositary will evaluate any proposed
indemnity in order to determine whether the financial protection afforded by the indemnity is sufficient to reduce such party&#146;s risk to a satisfactory and customary level. Each of APA and the depositary may rely on the advice of legal counsel
or accountants of its choice. Each may also rely on information provided by persons it believes, in good faith, to be competent, and on documents it believes, in good faith, to be genuine. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The following description, together with any applicable prospectus supplement, summarizes all the material terms and provisions of the debt securities that we
may offer under this prospectus and the related trust indentures. We will issue the senior debt securities under the senior indenture, dated as of June&nbsp;30, 2021 between us and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee. We will issue
the subordinated debt securities under a subordinated indenture to be executed in the future by us and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, or another entity, as trustee. The senior indenture and any such subordinated indenture are together
referred to in this section as the &#147;indentures.&#148; The terms of the debt securities will include those stated in the indentures (including any supplemental indentures that specify the terms of a particular series of debt securities) as well
as those made part of the indentures by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as in effect on the date of the applicable indenture. The indentures will be subject to and governed by the terms of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939. The senior
debt securities and the subordinated debt securities are together referred to in this section as the &#147;debt securities.&#148; Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, or any successor, or any other entity with which we execute an indenture, in
its capacity as trustee under either or both of the indentures, is referred to as the &#147;trustee&#148; for purposes of this section. The indentures contain and the debt securities, when issued, will contain additional important terms and
provisions. The senior indenture is, and prior to their issuance any senior debt securities will be, filed as exhibits to the registration statement that includes this prospectus. Prior to the issuance of any subordinated debt securities, the
subordinated indenture and such subordinated debt securities will be filed as exhibits to the registration statement that includes this prospectus. We encourage you to read the indentures, because they, and not this description, control your rights
as holders of the debt securities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This summary of the indentures and the debt securities relates to terms and conditions applicable to the debt
securities generally. The applicable prospectus supplement will set forth the particular terms of any series of debt securities that we may offer. If indicated in the prospectus supplement, the terms of any series may differ from the terms
summarized below. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Neither indenture limits the amount of debt securities we may issue under it, and each provides that additional debt securities of any
series may be issued up to the aggregate principal amount that we authorize from time to time. We also may issue debt securities pursuant to the indentures in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Those debt
securities will not be considered in determining the aggregate amount of securities issued under this prospectus. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Unless otherwise indicated in the
applicable prospectus supplement, we will issue the debt securities in denominations of $1,000 or integral multiples of $1,000. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Other than as described
below under &#147;<A HREF="#tx176801_1">The Senior Indenture Limits Our Ability to Incur Liens</A>&#148; and as may be described in the applicable prospectus supplement, the indentures do not limit our ability to incur indebtedness or afford holders
of debt securities protection in the event of a decline in our credit quality or if we are involved in a takeover, recapitalization, or highly leveraged or similar transaction. Nothing in the indentures or the debt securities will in any way limit
the amount of indebtedness or securities that we or our subsidiaries, as defined in the indentures, may incur or issue. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>General </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We may issue the debt securities in one or more series, with the same or various maturities, at par or at a discount. We will describe the particular terms of
each series of debt securities in a prospectus supplement relating to that series, which we will file with the SEC. The prospectus supplement relating to the particular series of debt securities being offered will specify whether they are senior or
subordinated debt securities and the amounts, prices, and terms of those debt securities. These terms may include: </P> <P STYLE="font-size:6pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>

maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation or
enterprise, against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person&#146;s status as such, whether or not the corporation would otherwise have the power to indemnify such
person. APA maintains policies insuring its and its subsidiaries&#146; officers and directors against specified liabilities for actions taken in such capacities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. </P>
