Salt Creek Midstream and SCM Alpine Backed by Ares ManagementÔÇÖs
Private Equity Group

HOUSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Apache Midstream (ÔÇ£ApacheÔÇØ), a subsidiary of Apache Corporation (NYSE,
NASDAQ: APA) and ARM Energy Holdings (ÔÇ£ARM EnergyÔÇØ) today announced that
ARM EnergyÔÇÖs affiliate, Salt Creek Midstream, LLC (ÔÇ£Salt CreekÔÇØ) is
developing SCM Alpine, LLC (ÔÇ£AlpineÔÇØ), a 445,000 Bbl/d capacity natural
gas liquids (NGL) header system, and that Apache Midstream has signed an
option to acquire a 50% stake in Alpine.

Construction has commenced, and the project is expected to be
operational in Q1 2019. ARM Midstream Management, LLC, an affiliate of
ARM Energy, will construct, manage and operate the system. The $100
million project is supported by 10-year commitments from both Salt Creek
and Apache Corporation. The term of the commitments may be automatically
extended twice for an additional five years for a potential term of 20
years.

The Alpine header system will be comprised of two pipeline segments that
originate at both the Salt Creek and Apache processing facilities in
southern Reeves County, Texas. The pipeline will provide flexibility by
transporting the NGLs to Waha, where it will have the ability to
interconnect to downstream pipelines providing access to Mont Belvieu
and Corpus Christi fractionation facilities.

ARM EnergyÔÇÖs CEO Zach Lee said, ÔÇ£We are pleased to join Apache in
announcing this project. This announcement signifies Salt CreekÔÇÖs
extensive relationships in the Delaware Basin and our expanding
world-class asset-base. We have a deep understanding of the fundamentals
driving upstream and midstream economics and their impact on the gulf
coast downstream markets. We believe Alpine is well-positioned to
provide market optionality leading to netback advantages for its
customer base.ÔÇØ

Apache CorporationÔÇÖs Senior Vice President, Midstream and Marketing,
Brian Freed, said, ÔÇ£The development of this NGL project is another
significant step in ApacheÔÇÖs Alpine High infrastructure buildout. This
project provides Apache access to the emerging Waha market area,
increasing the companyÔÇÖs long-term operational flexibility and market
optionality.ÔÇØ

In April 2018, ARM Energy announced a strategic partnership with Ares
Management, L.P. (ÔÇ£AresÔÇØ) to develop Salt Creek in the Delaware Basin.
Salt Creek and Alpine are both owned by funds managed by the Ares
Private Equity Group and ARM Energy.

Locke Lorde LLP provided legal representation to ARM Energy/Salt Creek
and Bracewell LLC represented Apache.
