Springboard Graduation<br />
Ceremony<br />
October 5th, 2016, marked a very special day for <strong>Apache</strong>. It is the day<br />
<strong>Apache</strong> honored 70 graduates from 35 Springboard schools in Fayoum<br />
who are currently enrolled in high schools to continue their education.<br />
The celebration commemorated the road that <strong>Apache</strong>’s Springboard<br />
schools project team, students and teachers have traveled together.<br />
The ceremony was attended by Mr. Adel Abd El Moneim, the<br />
Undersecretary of the Ministry of Education- Fayoum Governorate,<br />
officials from the Ministry of Education, our partners at the National<br />
Council for Childhood and Motherhood, and Mr. David Chi, Vice<br />
president and General Manager of <strong>Apache</strong> <strong>Egypt</strong> along with other<br />
guests from <strong>Apache</strong>, Sinopec, Khalda, and Qarun. Mr. Chi presented<br />
the awards and certificates to the students and their teachers. Mr. Chi<br />
also handed awards to Fayoum’s educational administration team<br />
appreciating their efforts towards the schools and the students.<br />
“<strong>Apache</strong> know that you have big dreams and aspirations, we saw that when we honored some of the students from<br />
Minya earlier this year, we were surprised how ambitious they are and of course you are not different, which gives me<br />
the opportunity to tell you that <strong>Apache</strong> will try to help you achieve your dreams even after your graduation from the<br />
Springboard schools as long as you chase those dreams,” mentioned Mr. Chi.<br />

The final word<br />
From apache <strong>Egypt</strong> Vice President and general manager<br />
Our vision for 2017 can be summed up in 3 strategies: to respond to market<br />
changes through maintaining operational flexibility, to actively manage the<br />
portfolio through further streamlining, to focus on capital budgeting that is<br />
based on conservative price assumptions. We will be able to accomplish these<br />
strategies through several ways. In North America onshore projects, we will<br />
work on growing the production. We will strive hard to increase development<br />
activity in Midland and Delaware core. We will also continue delineation and<br />
ramp production in Alpine High with 4-6 rigs. Along with these activities, we will<br />
focus on cost optimization and the funding of SCOOP, Montney and Duvernay.<br />
Regarding the international & offshore projects, we will aim to invest more to<br />
sustain the production and the free cash flow in <strong>Egypt</strong> and the North Sea. We<br />
will continue lowering the risks and developing high impact exploration in<br />
Suriname area. Our strategic goals for <strong>Apache</strong> <strong>Egypt</strong> are to sustain and<br />
maximize production and cash flow in a concession-based regime while<br />
operating in a safe and environmentally prudent way and to have an impact on<br />
our share price by increasing investor’s confidence in <strong>Egypt</strong>’s asset value.<br />
