What happens to Apache if Total elects to not proceed with investment when the FID determination date arrives in 5 months?

I hear from a little birdie that part of the legacy are going to be sold off very soon!! Snook is sold, signing soon.

They might as well just take the LTI away for as much as we have all lost on it with this bunch of clowns at the helm.

This is one of those egregious corporate buzzwords to me, and a huge red flag. Does it actually translate to anything good? When I see or hear "synergy" being used, it's almost always a clear indicator of desperation to boost perception, yet it's... — read more 

I wonder when management will realize why there is such a high turnover rate… because working here is exhausting. The workplace drama, the non-stop corporate politics, the blatantly open nepotism of promoting based off favoritism instead of merit is... — read more 

Is the in overtime rule going to HELP any of the salary hands !!

The bathroom situation… who designed the floorplans? all those worthless seating areas by the windows, also wonder how many microwaves per floor..

Little birdy told me that North Sea oil production goes energy net negative for APA by 2027, meaning the amount of energy that it takes to extract the oil is greater than the energy value of the oil extracted. Apache is apparently going to fly past... — read more 

Thoughts on the new announcements...

Our company will live or die on the quality of the Board. Some of these folks are twits-DS?

This area is a Complete Joke. Replace all the revenue accounting “Managers”. What do they even do? Certainly not train or develop anyone. Unless You fit their Woke criteria, which they use to self serve their own agendas, don’t expect any job... — read more 

I find it a hard pill to swallow when certain APA leaders go on LinkedIn, post pictures of them "saving" the world: "Had a great time discussing how we can contribute to human progress......" Meanwhile, they are ruthlessly backstabbing their... — read more 

You probably won’t find a gig making comparables. Just keep showing up to work and be grateful?!

any word on the bonus payout?

It'll be too convenient for more optimizations

What’s up here. Recently noticed people abruptly gone….

any rumors?

Finished? or discontinued due to the M&A?

It is almost as though they knew the announcement would dive the stock price down. (That was sarcasm.)

The lack of rumors is a good thing, but I'm still a bit nervous.

Why do we have to empty all offices before the end of the year if we are moving in April? Am I the only one sus here?

Texas will have to cut methane emissions from oil fields under new federal climate rule. How can we make production and meet goals if we don't return production and keep plugging wells !!!!

I left before the pandemic hit and I recently got an offer to return. I admit, I enjoyed my job at Apache, but the culture had deteriorated drastically by then so I had to get out for my own sake. Have things improved any? Is morale better? I'd... — read more 

Anyone have insight ????? Other than moving the office to a less desirable part of town. I feel like a big Gotcha /Surprise is coming. That’s just my 2 cents….

XOM bought PXD CVX bought HESS

Hi everyone! Is there anyone who knows until when we can accept COBRA and when our benefits come to an end?

APA released a decommissioning/"retirement" video patting themselves on the back for all the wonderful things they've done to save the environment in GoM. What they left out is the regulators FORCED them to do this at a very high price. It's always... — read more 

Oh, fabulous! It seems like our managers have developed a love for musical chairs lately. I mean, why not change them every month, right? It's not like consistency or stability are important in management. But hey, maybe I'm just not in on the... — read more 

Any got any insight to what the outcome of the review was for the North Sea?
