 Exhibit 10.1 

Apache Corporation 401(k) Savings Plan 

Apache Corporation (“Apache”) sponsors the Apache Corporation 401(k) Savings Plan (the “Plan”). In section 10.4 of the Plan, Apache
reserved the right to amend the Plan from time to time. Apache hereby exercises that right by adding the following paragraphs to the end of the “Sales” section of Appendix C, effective as of the closing date of the transaction described in
the “Purchase and Sale Agreement by and among Apache Corporation, Apache Shelf, Inc., and Apache Deepwater LLC, and Fieldwood Energy, LLC and GOM Shelf LLC” that was entered into on July 18, 2013. 

The following three paragraphs apply to any Employee who transfers to Fieldwood Energy, LLC (“Fieldwood”) or to any business while it is treated as
a single employer with Fieldwood pursuant to Code §414(b), §414(c), §414(m), or §414(o) (collectively, the “Fieldwood Group”), and whose transfer occurs within one year following the closing of the transaction described
in the “Purchase and Sale Agreement by and among Apache Corporation, Apache Shelf, Inc., and Apache Deepwater LLC, and Fieldwood Energy, LLC and GOM Shelf LLC” (the “PSA”) that was entered into on July 18, 2013 (a
“Transferred Employee”). 
 Vesting. Notwithstanding subsection 5.3(a), for vesting purposes, a Period of Service for a Transferred
Employee shall include such Transferred Employee’s service with the Fieldwood Group until termination of employment with the Fieldwood Group. Notwithstanding subsection 5.4(b), the earliest date a forfeiture may occur is the date of the
Employee’s termination of employment with the Fieldwood Group. 
 Distributions. A Transferred Employee may take a distribution of the entire
distributable amount at any time after his Termination from Service Date from the Company. The distributable amount, as determined under section 6.3, only includes vested benefits. If the Transferred Employee takes a distribution and then accrues
additional vested amounts, such Transferred Employee may take additional distribution(s) of such additional vested amounts, each of which shall be equal to the entire distributable amount at the time of the distribution. Notwithstanding subsection
6.6(c), the Plan will not cash out a small Account until the Transferred Employee becomes fully vested or, if earlier, such Transferred Employee terminates employment with the Fieldwood Group. 

Loans. A Transferred Employee may roll over any outstanding loan from the Plan to a qualified plan sponsored by any member of the Fieldwood Group that
agrees to accept such a rollover, as long as the rollover is initiated by the last day of the calendar quarter following the calendar quarter in which the Transferred Employee’s Effective Date (as defined in Section 8.3(b) of Exhibit F to
the PSA) occurs. Any loan not rolled over by such date shall be subject to the default rules in section 7.6. Notwithstanding Article VI, a Transferred Employee may roll over a loan under this paragraph without taking any other distribution from the
Plan. 
 EXECUTED this 25th day of October, 2013.

4.1 Adjustments for Stock Split, Stock Dividend, etc. If the Company shall at any time increase or decrease the number of its outstanding shares of
Stock or change in any way the rights and privileges of such shares by means of the payment of a Stock dividend or any other distribution upon such shares payable in Stock, or through a Stock split, subdivision, consolidation, combination,
reclassification or recapitalization involving the Stock then in relation to the Stock that is affected by one or more of the above events, the numbers, rights and privileges of the following shall be, in each case, equitably and proportionally
adjusted to take into account the occurrence of any of the above events, (i) the shares of Stock to which each outstanding Stock Appreciation Right relates; and (ii) the SAR Price for each outstanding Stock Appreciation Right granted

or kind of outstanding shares of Stock or of any stock or other securities into which the Stock shall be changed or for which it shall have been exchanged, and if the Committee shall in its discretion determine that such change equitably requires an
adjustment in the number or kind of shares to which outstanding Stock Appreciation Rights relate, then such adjustments shall be made by the Committee and shall be effective for all purposes of the Plan and for each outstanding Stock Appreciation
Right that involves the particular type of stock for which a change was effected. 
 4.3 Determination by the Committee, Etc. Adjustments under this
Section 4 shall be made by the Committee, whose determinations with regard thereto shall be final and binding upon all parties. 

Section 5 

Reorganization or Liquidation

the event that the Company is merged or consolidated with another corporation and the Company is not the surviving corporation, or if all or substantially all of the assets or more than 20 percent of the outstanding voting stock of the Company is
acquired by any other corporation, business entity or person, or in case of a reorganization (other than a reorganization under the United States Bankruptcy Code) or liquidation of the Company, and if the provisions of Section 8 hereof do not
apply, the Committee, or the board of directors of any corporation assuming the obligations of the Company, shall, as to the Plan and outstanding Stock Appreciation Rights either (i) make appropriate provision for the adoption and continuation
of the Plan by the acquiring or successor corporation and for the protection of any such outstanding Stock Appreciation Rights by the substitution on an equitable basis of appropriate stock of the Company or of the merged, consolidated or otherwise
reorganized corporation which will be issuable with respect to 

  
 4 

 
the Stock, provided that no additional benefits shall be conferred upon the Participants holding such Stock Appreciation Rights as a result of such substitution, and the excess of the aggregate
Fair Market Value of the shares of Stock to which the Stock Appreciation Rights relate immediately after such substitution over the aggregate SAR Price thereof is not more than the excess of the aggregate Fair Market Value of the shares of Stock to
which such Stock Appreciation Rights relate immediately before such substitution over the aggregate Unit Price thereof, or (ii) upon written notice to the Participants, provide that all unexercised Stock Appreciation Rights shall be exercised
within a specified number of days of the date of such notice or such Stock Appreciation Rights will be terminated. In the latter event, the Committee shall accelerate the vesting dates of outstanding Stock Appreciation Rights so that all Stock
Appreciation Rights become fully vested and exercisable prior to any such event. 
 Section 6 

Participation 
 Participants in the
Plan shall be those Eligible Employees who, in the judgment of the Committee, are performing, or during the term of their incentive arrangement will perform, vital services in the management, operation and development of the Company or an Affiliated
Corporation, and significantly contribute, or are expected to significantly contribute, to the achievement of the Company’s long-term corporate economic objectives. Participants may be granted from time to time one or more Stock Appreciation
Rights; provided, however, that the grant of each such Stock Appreciation Right shall be separately approved by the Committee, and receipt of one such Stock Appreciation Right shall not result in automatic receipt of any other Stock Appreciation
Right. Upon determination by the Committee that a Stock Appreciation Right is to be granted to a Participant, written notice shall be given to such person, specifying the terms, conditions, rights and duties related thereto. Each Participant shall,
if required by the Committee, enter into an agreement with the Company, in such form as the Committee shall determine and which is consistent with the provisions of the Plan, specifying such terms, conditions, rights and duties. Stock Appreciation
Rights shall be deemed to be granted as of the date specified in the grant resolution of the Committee, which date shall be the date of any related agreement with the Participant. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of the Plan
and any such agreement entered into hereunder, the provisions of the Plan shall govern. 
 Section 7 

Stock Appreciation Rights 
 7.1
Grant of Stock Appreciation Rights. Coincident with or following designation for participation in the Plan, an Eligible Employee may be granted one or more Stock Appreciation Rights. Grants of Stock Appreciation Rights under the Plan shall be
made by the Committee. In no event shall the exercise of one Stock Appreciation Right affect the right to exercise any other Stock Appreciation Right or affect the number of shares of Stock to which any other Share Appreciation Right relates, except
as provided in subsection 7.2(j) hereof. 

  
 5 

 7.2 Stock Appreciation Right Agreements. Each Stock Appreciation Right granted under the Plan shall be
evidenced by a written agreement which shall be entered into by the Company and the Participant to whom the Stock Appreciation Right is granted (the “Stock Appreciation Right Agreement”), and which shall contain the following terms and
conditions, as well as such other terms and conditions, not inconsistent therewith, as the Committee may consider appropriate in each case: 

(a) Number of Shares. Each Stock Appreciation Right Agreement shall state that it relates to a specified number of shares of Stock, as
determined by the Committee. 
 (b) SAR Price. The price shall be determined in each case by the Committee at the time of grant and
set forth in the Stock Appreciation Right Agreement, but in no event shall the SAR Price be less than the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the Grant Date. 

(c) Duration of Stock Appreciation Rights; Employment Required For Exercise. Each Stock Appreciation Right Agreement shall state the
period of time, determined by the Committee, within which the Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised by the Participant (the “Stock Appreciation Right Period”). The Stock Appreciation Right Period must end, in all cases, not more than
ten years from the Grant Date. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 5 and 8 and subsection 7.2(d)(iv) hereof, each Stock Appreciation Right granted under the Plan shall become exercisable in increments such that 25 percent of the Share
Appreciation Right becomes exercisable on each of the four subsequent one-year anniversaries of the date the Stock Appreciation Right is granted, provided that each such additional 25-percent increment shall become exercisable only if the
Participant has been continuously employed by the Company from the date the Stock Appreciation Right is granted through the date on which each such additional 25-percent increment becomes exercisable. 

(d) Termination of Employment, Death, Disability, Etc. Each Stock Appreciation Right Agreement shall provide as follows with respect to
the exercise of the Stock Appreciation Right upon termination of the employment or the death of the Participant: 
 (i) If the employment of
the Participant by the Company is terminated within the Stock Appreciation Right Period for cause, as determined by the Company, the Stock Appreciation Right shall thereafter be void for all purposes. As used in this subsection 7.2(d),
“cause” shall mean a gross violation, as determined by the Company, of the Company’s established policies and procedures, provided that the effect of this subsection 7.2(d) shall be limited to determining the consequences of a
termination and that nothing in this subsection 7.2(d) shall restrict or otherwise interfere with the Company’s discretion with respect to the termination of any employee. 

  
 6 

 (ii) If the Participant retires from employment by the Company on or after attaining age 60, the
Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised by the Participant within 36 months following his or her retirement (provided that such exercise must occur within the Stock Appreciation Right Period), but not thereafter. In the event of the
Participant’s death during such 36-month period, each Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised by those entitled to do so in the manner referred to in (iv) below. In any such case, the Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised only as to
the increment(s) of the Stock Appreciation Right that have become exercisable on or before the date of the Participant’s retirement. 

(iii) If the Participant becomes disabled (as determined pursuant to the Company’s Long-Term Disability Plan or any successor plan),
during the Stock Appreciation Right Period while still employed, or within the three-month period referred to in subsection 7.2(d)(v) below, or within the 36-month period referred to in subsection 7.2(d)(ii) above, the Stock Appreciation Right may
be exercised by the Participant or by his or her guardian or legal representative, within twelve months following the Participant’s disability, or within the 36-month period referred to in subsection 7.2(d)(ii) above if applicable and if longer
(provided that such exercise must occur within the Stock Appreciation Right Period), but not thereafter. In the event of the Participant’s death during such twelve-month period, each Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised by those entitled
to do so in the manner referred to in subsection 7.2(d)(iv) below. In any such case, the Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised only as to the increment(s) of the Stock Appreciation Right that have become exercisable on or before the date of the
Participant’s disability. 
 (iv) In the event of the Participant’s death while still employed by the Company, each Stock
Appreciation Right of the deceased Participant may be exercised by those entitled to do so under the Participant’s will or under the laws of descent and distribution or as otherwise provided in Section 9.2 within twelve months following
the Participant’s death (provided that in any event such exercise must occur within the Stock Appreciation Right Period), but not thereafter, as to all increments of each Stock Appreciation Right, including each 25-percent increment of the
Stock Appreciation Right, if any, which has not yet become exercisable at the time of the Participant’s death. In the event of the Participant’s death within the 36-month period referred to in subsection 7.2(d)(ii) above, the increment(s)
of or within the twelve-month period referred to in subsection 7.2(d)(iii) above, the increment(s) of each Stock Appreciation Right of the deceased Participant that are exercisable at the time of death may be exercised by those entitled to do so
under the Participant’s will or under the laws of descent and distribution or as otherwise provided in Section 9.2 within twelve months following the Participant’s death or within the 36-month period referred to in subsection
7.2(d)(ii) above, if applicable and if longer (provided that in any event such exercise must occur within the Stock Appreciation Right Period). 

(v) If the employment of the Participant by the Company is terminated (which for this purpose means that the Participant is no longer employed
by the Company or by an Affiliated Corporation) within the Stock Appreciation Right Period for any reason other than cause, the Participant’s retirement on or after attaining age 60, or the Participant’s disability or death, the Stock
Appreciation Right may be exercised by the Participant within three months following the date of such termination (provided that such exercise must occur within the Stock Appreciation Right Period), but not thereafter. In any such case, the Stock
Appreciation Right may be exercised only as to the increment(s) of the Stock Appreciation Right that have become exercisable on or before the date of termination of the Participant’s employment. 

  
 7 

 (vi) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.2(d) of the Plan to the contrary, for
purposes of the Stock Appreciation Right, the Participant’s employment shall be deemed to continue with the Company during the Participant’s period of continuous employment by Fieldwood Energy LLC or any business while it is treated as a
single employer with Fieldwood Energy LLC pursuant to Code §414(b), §414(c), §414(m), or §414(o) (collectively “Fieldwood”) commencing on the date such Participant is first employed by Fieldwood in connection with the
sale of certain assets pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement by and among Apache Corporation, Apache Shelf, Inc., and Apache Deepwater LLC, as Sellers, and Fieldwood Energy LLC, as Buyer, and GOM Shelf LLC, dated July 18, 2013, and shall
be deemed to cease with the Company on the date of termination of the Participant’s employment with Fieldwood for any reason. Participant shall immediately notify the Company of his or her termination of employment with Fieldwood and the reason
for such termination (termination for cause, disability, retirement after age 60, or termination for a reason other than the preceding reasons). If a Participant fails to timely notify the Company of the Participant’s termination of employment
with Fieldwood, and such failure to timely notify allows an exercise of any Stock Appreciation Rights hereunder to occur, which exercise of Stock Appreciation Rights would have been forfeited if the notification of termination had been delivered
timely, then Participant must immediately return or pay to Apache Corporation the gross proceeds from the exercise thereof. 
 (e)
Transferability. Each Stock Appreciation Right Agreement shall provide that the Stock Appreciation Right granted therein is not transferable by the Participant except by will or pursuant to the laws of descent and distribution or as otherwise
provided in Section 9.2, and that such Stock Appreciation Right is exercisable during the Participant’s lifetime only by him or her, or in the event of the Participant’s disability or incapacity, by his or her guardian or legal
representative. 
 (f) Agreement to Continue in Employment. Each Stock Appreciation Right Agreement shall contain the
Participant’s agreement to remain in the employment of the Company, at the pleasure of the Company, for a continuous period of at least one year after the date of such Stock Appreciation Right Agreement, at the salary rate in effect on the date
of such agreement or at such changed rate as may be fixed, from time to time, by the Company. 
 (g) Exercise, Payments, Etc. 

(i) Each Stock Appreciation Right Agreement shall provide that the method for exercising the Stock Appreciation Right granted therein shall be
by delivery to the Administrative Agent or to the Office of the Secretary of the Company of written notice specifying the number of shares of Stock that relate to the Stock Appreciation Right being exercised. Such notice shall be in a form
satisfactory to the Committee and shall specify the particular Stock Appreciation Rights (or portions thereof) which are being exercised and the number of shares of Stock that relate to the Stock Appreciation Rights being exercised. The exercise of
the Stock Appreciation Right shall be deemed effective on the date such notice is received by the Administrative Agent or by the Office of the Secretary (the “Exercise Date”). 

  
 8 

 (ii) Subject to subsection 7.2(i) and Section 12.1 hereof, the amount to which the
Participant is entitled as a result of the exercise of the Stock Appreciation Right shall be paid through the Company’s payroll system, as part of the payroll cycle next following the Exercise Date, or through the Administrative Agent. 

(iii) For purposes of the Plan, the income resulting from a Stock Appreciation Right exercise shall be based on the Fair Market Value of the
Stock for the Exercise Date. 
 (h) Grant Date. A Stock Appreciation Right shall be considered as having been granted on the date
specified in the grant resolution of the Committee. 
 (i) Tax Withholding. Each Stock Appreciation Right Agreement shall provide
that, upon exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, minimum tax withholding required by Sections 3102 and 3402 or any successor section(s) of the Internal Revenue Code and applicable state and local income and other tax laws shall be deducted from
the amount payable to the Participant. 
 (j) Adjustment of Stock Appreciation Rights. Subject to the provisions of Sections 4, 5, 7,
8 and 11 hereof, the Committee may make any adjustment in the number of shares of Stock to which an outstanding Stock Appreciation Right relates, or the terms of an outstanding Stock Appreciation Right and a subsequent granting of a Stock
Appreciation Right, by amendment or by substitution for an outstanding Stock Appreciation Right; however, except as provided in Sections 4, 5, 8 and 11 hereof, the Committee may not adjust the SAR Price of any outstanding Stock Appreciation Right.
Such amendment or substitution may result in terms and conditions (including the number of shares of Stock to which the Stock Appreciation Right relates, vesting schedule or Stock Appreciation Right Period) that differ from the terms and conditions
of the original Stock Appreciation Right. The Committee may not, however, adversely affect the rights of any Participant to previously granted Stock Appreciation Rights without the consent of such Participant. If such action is effected by
amendment, the effective date of such amendment will be the date of grant of the original Stock Appreciation Right. 
 7.3 Stockholder Privileges. No
Participant shall have any rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares of Stock to which a Stock Appreciation Right relates. 

  
 9 

 Section 8 

Change of Control 
 8.1 In
General. In the event of the occurrence of a change of control of the Company, as defined in Section 8.3 hereof, all outstanding Stock Appreciation Rights shall become automatically vested, without further action by the Committee or the
Board, so as to make all such Stock Appreciation Rights fully vested and exercisable as of the date of such change of control. 
 8.2 Limitation on
Payments. If the provisions of this Section 8 would result in the receipt by any Participant of a payment within the meaning of Section 280G or any successor section(s) of the Internal Revenue Code, and the regulations promulgated
thereunder, and if the receipt of such payment by any Participant would, in the opinion of independent tax counsel of recognized standing selected by the Company, result in the payment by such Participant of any excise tax provided for in Sections
280G and 4999 or any successor section(s) of the Internal Revenue Code, then the amount of such payment shall be reduced to the extent required, in the opinion of independent tax counsel, to prevent the imposition of such excise tax; provided,
however, that the Committee, in its sole discretion, may authorize the payment of all or any portion of the amount of such reduction to the Participant. 

8.3 Definition. For purposes of the Plan, a “change of control” shall mean any of the events specified in the Company’s Income
Continuance Plan or any successor plan which constitute a change of control within the meaning of such plan. 
 Section 9 

Rights of Employees, Participants 

9.1 Employment. Nothing contained in the Plan or in any Stock Appreciation Right granted under the Plan shall confer upon any Participant any right
with respect to the continuation of his or her employment by the Company or any Affiliated Corporation, or interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any Affiliated Corporation, subject to the terms of any separate employment agreement to
the contrary, at any time to terminate such employment or to increase or decrease the level of the Participant’s compensation from the level in existence at the time of the grant of an Stock Appreciation Right. Whether an authorized leave of
absence, or absence in military or government service, shall constitute a termination of employment shall be determined by the Committee at the time. 

  
 10 

 9.2 Nontransferability. No right or interest of any Participant in any Stock Appreciation Right granted
pursuant to the Plan shall be assignable or transferable during the lifetime of the Participant, either voluntarily or involuntarily, or subjected to any lien, directly or indirectly, by operation of law, or otherwise, including execution, levy,
garnishment, attachment, pledge or bankruptcy. In the event of a Participant’s death, a Participant’s rights and interests in any Stock Appreciation Right shall, to the extent provided in Section 7 hereof, be transferable by
testamentary will or the laws of descent and distribution, or a beneficiary designation that is in a form approved by the Committee and in compliance with the provisions of this Plan, applicable law, and the applicable Stock Appreciation Right, and
payment of any amounts due under the Plan shall be made to, and exercise of any Stock Appreciation Right may be made by, the Participant’s designated beneficiary, legal representatives, heirs or legatees, as applicable. If, in the opinion of
the Committee, a person entitled to payments or to exercise rights with respect to the Plan is disabled from caring for his or her affairs because of mental condition, physical condition or age, payment due such person may be made to, and such
rights shall be exercised by, such person’s guardian, conservator or other legal personal representative upon furnishing the Committee with evidence of such status satisfactory to the Committee. 

Section 10 

Other Employee Benefits 
 The
amount of any income deemed to be received by a Participant as a result of a Stock Appreciation Right exercise shall not constitute “earnings” or “compensation” with respect to which any other employee benefits of such
Participant are determined including, without limitation, benefits under any pension, profit sharing, life insurance or salary continuation plan. 

Section 11 

Plan Amendment, Modification and Termination 

The Committee or the Board may at any time terminate, and from time to time may amend or modify the Plan provided, however, that no amendment or modification
may become effective without approval of the amendment or modification by the Company’s stockholders if stockholder approval is required to enable the Plan to satisfy any applicable statutory or regulatory requirements unless the Company, on
the advice of counsel, determines that stockholder approval is otherwise necessary or desirable. 
 No amendment, modification or termination of the Plan
shall in any manner adversely affect any Stock Appreciation Right theretofore granted under the Plan, without the consent of the Participant holding such Stock Appreciation Right. 

  
 11 

 The Committee shall have the authority to adopt such modifications, procedures and subplans as may be necessary
or desirable to comply with the provisions of the laws (including, but not limited to, tax laws and regulations) of countries other than the United States in which the Company may operate, so as to assure the viability of the benefits of the Plan to
Participants employed in such countries. 
 Section 12 

Withholding 
 12.1 Withholding
Requirement. The Company’s obligations to deliver the amounts payable to the Participant for the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, shall be subject to the Participant’s satisfaction of all applicable federal, state and local
income and other tax withholding requirements. 
 12.2 Excess Withholding. At the time the Committee grants a Stock Appreciation Right, it may, in
its sole discretion, grant the Participant an election to pay additional or excess amounts of tax withholding, beyond the required amounts and up to the Participant’s marginal tax rate. Such election must be specified in the written notice of
exercise given in accordance with subsection 7.2(g) hereof. 
 Section 13

 13.2 Federal
Securities Laws Requirements. If a Participant is an officer or director of the Company within the meaning of Section 16 of the 1934 Act, Stock Appreciation Rights granted hereunder shall be subject to all conditions required under Rule
16b-3, or any successor rule(s) promulgated under the 1934 Act, to qualify the Stock Appreciation Right for any exception from the provisions of Section 16 available under such rule. Such conditions are hereby incorporated herein by reference
and shall be set forth in the Stock Appreciation Right Agreement with the Participant which describes the Stock Appreciation Right. 
 13.3 Governing
Law. The Plan and all Stock Appreciation Right Agreements hereunder shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Texas.
