APACHE AND SINOPEC ENTER UPSTREAM OIL AND GAS PARTNERSHIP
Apache News Release:
APACHE AND SINOPEC ENTER UPSTREAM OIL AND GAS PARTNERSHIP
Apache to receive $3.1 billion in exchange for 33 percent interest in Apache Egypt
HOUSTON, Aug. 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Apache Corporation (NYSE, Nasdaq: APA) and Sinopec International Petroleum Exploration and Production Corporation today announced they have launched a global strategic partnership to pursue joint upstream oil and gas projects. As the first step in this partnership, Apache will receive $3.1 billion in cash, subject to customary closing adjustments, in exchange for Sinopec gaining a 33 percent minority participation in Apache's Egypt oil and gas business. Apache will continue to operate its Egypt upstream oil and gas business.
The Apache-Sinopec partnershipG. Steven Farris, chairman and chief executive officer of Apache, said: "We are pleased to launch a global partnership with Sinopec, and to welcome them into our business in Egypt. Their technical expertise complements our 20 years of experience operating inEgypt and creates an alliance that will continue to explore and deliver the tremendous hydrocarbon resources in the Western Desert. Sinopec is an ideal partner for us, and we look forward to the growth and value generation ahead for both companies through the expansion of our collaboration to other projects."
Given the sustained growth of its operations in Egypt, Apache has conducted an extended evaluation of a strategic partnership to ensure its ability to continue to deliver growth opportunities there while enhancing Apache's portfolio balance. The partnership announced today results from several months of joint efforts between Apache and Sinopec.
The Egypt partnership is subject to customary governmental approvals and is expected to close during the fourth quarter, with an effective date of January 1, 2013.
Portfolio rebalancing progressApache continues to rebalance its portfolio toward assets with predictable growth rates and attractive rates of return. Pro forma for the partnership with Sinopec and the sale of Gulf of Mexico shelf assets, Apache's second-quarter 2013 production from North American onshore assets and from Egypt would have comprised approximately 55 percent and 15 percent, respectively. In 2010, onshore North America contributed 31 percent of Apache's overall production, Egypt represented 25 percent and the Gulf of Mexicoshelf represented 17 percent.
"Our successful exploration and development programs in Egypt have been an important contributor to both growth and cash flow for many years. With today's partnership, we are ensuring they can continue this contribution in the future," Farris said. "At the same time, we are taking meaningful steps to rebalance our portfolio to better deliver the full potential of our deep North America onshore resource inventory."
As part of its portfolio rebalancing process, Apache has set out several capital allocation priorities with respect to the use of proceeds from strategic steps. As previously announced, the company intends to pay down debt in order to maintain its current credit ratings and buy back shares under a 30-million share repurchase authorization, as well as fund future capital expenditures including international projects.
Apache's operations in Egypt Net production from Apache's Egypt operations averaged 100,000 barrels of oil and 354 million cubic feet (MMcf) of natural gas per day in 2012. Gross production during the period averaged 213,000 barrels of oil and 900 MMcf of gas per day. Apache's exploration and production operations, which are located in remote, unpopulated areas, remain unaffected by political events in the region.
Apache employs about 9,000 Egyptians through direct employment, through participation in the Khalda Petroleum Co. and Qarun Petroleum Co. operating joint ventures with Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation , and through employment with oil field service and construction contractors.

Chevron's 2013 Fuel Your School Program Expands to Help Fund Classroom Projects in 14 U.S. Communities
Chevron Press Release:
Chevron's 2013 Fuel Your School Program Expands to Help Fund Classroom Projects in 14 U.S. Communities
Collaboration with DonorsChoose.org will help generate up to nearly $7.1 million for U.S. public school teachers and students
SAN RAMON, Calif., Aug. 29, 2013 – Chevron U.S.A. Inc. (NYSE: CVX) announced the expansion of its Fuel Your School program to 14 U.S. communities this fall from nine communities in 2012. Designed to support education for local public schools based on the specific requests of each classroom, Fuel Your School will help meet the critical need for classroom funding in various communities where Chevron operates.
Last year, Chevron funded $4.49 million worth of classroom projects in nine U.S. markets. This year, from Oct. 1 through Oct. 31, 2013, Chevron will contribute $1 to help fund eligible classroom projects when consumers purchase eight or more gallons of fuel at participating Chevron and Texaco stations in the participating U.S. communities, up to a total contribution of nearly $7.1 million.
"Effective education in the STEM subjects—science, technology, engineering and math—can help prepare bright young students to be the engineers, geologists and doctors of the future, driving innovation and economic growth," said Dale Walsh, president of Chevron Americas Products. "Fuel Your School provides teachers with essential tools and resources, including hands-on project materials that often do not receive funding from traditional sources. These resources are critical to spurring students' interest in and understanding of the STEM subjects."
In the U.S., Fuel Your School is an innovative collaboration between Chevron and DonorsChoose.org, an online organization dedicated to helping students in need. The program was driven by the lack of adequate school funding, which has left some teachers without basic supplies to help students complete their classroom assignments. Since its inception in 2010, Fuel Your School has helped fund 8,915 classroom projects at 1,924 schools. The program has grown each year to support students in various communities where Chevron has business operations and has reached 899,180 students.
"Last year, the average public school teacher spent approximately $485 of their own money on school supplies, instructional materials and other classroom materials needed for student learning," said Charles Best, CEO of DonorsChoose.org. "By using our website, combined with Chevron's community relationships and retail network, we can expand the Fuel Your School program to support more schools, empower more teachers and improve more students' education."
All year, public school teachers across the U.S. post classroom project requests on DonorsChoose.org. Their needs range from pencils to microscope slides and even live tarantulas for use with biology lessons. One of those requests came from Paula Baucom, a teacher at Will Rogers Middle School in Fair Oaks, a suburb in Sacramento County, Calif., who lacked the resources to provide students with fun, hands-on scientific activities. With the help of the Fuel Your School program, she and her students received owl pellets, along with a curriculum guide that included bone sorting charts and other resources. These materials allowed her students to take on the role of actual scientists as they probed, classified, sorted, and analyzed the bones inside the owl pellets.
"With the state of the California budget, funding for essential hands-on science experiences has been extremely limited," Baucom said. "With the generosity that Chevron extended through the Fuel Your School program, my students had the opportunity to make connections about food chains and ecosystems that wouldn't have been possible otherwise, and developed an increased interest and passion in science."
This program is one of many in which Chevron works with local communities, governments and nonprofit organizations to increase learning opportunities for students and support the social and economic vitality of communities. Chevron has invested more than $100 million in STEM education programs over the past three years.
The 2013 Fuel Your School program will help fund eligible classroom projects developed by public school teachers and posted to DonorsChoose.org in the following communities:
- Alameda and Contra Costa counties, Calif.
- Sacramento County, Calif.
- Kern County, Calif.
- Orange County, Calif.
- Select cities in the South Bay* portion of Los Angeles County, Calif.
- Anchorage and Matanuska-Susitna boroughs, Alaska
- Hawaii
- Multnomah and Washington counties, Ore.
- Salt Lake and Davis counties, Utah
- Harris County, Texas
- Jackson County, Miss.
- St. Tammany, Orleans, Plaquemines, St. Bernard, Lafourche, Terrebonne, Lafayette, Jefferson and Vermillion parishes, La.
- Clayton, DeKalb and Fulton counties, Georgia
- Miami-Dade County, Florida
Chevron also supports similar marketer co-funded programs in Ector County, Texas, and Del Norte, Humboldt, Lake and Mendocino counties, California, as well as similar international programs in Canada; Johannesburg, South Africa; and Johor and Kedah, Malaysia.
Public school teachers and other educators from the 14 U.S. communities are invited to post eligible project requests at www.DonorsChoose.org beginning Sept. 1, 2013, for possible funding as part of the Fuel Your School program.
Consumers can track the classroom projects in need of funding and see how much money is being earned for public schools in each community by visiting www.FuelYourSchool.com. Donations earned through Fuel Your School will be used to help fund eligible classroom projects from Oct. 2 through Nov. 30, 2013, or until funds generated by this program have been exhausted by eligible projects. Anyone, including consumers and Chevron employees, may also independently fund classroom projects on the DonorsChoose.org website by making separate, individual donations.
*South Bay is defined as the cities of Carson, Compton, Culver City, El Segundo, Gardena, Hawthorne, Hermosa Beach, Inglewood, Lawndale, Lennox, Lomita, Long Beach, Manhattan Beach, Marina Del Rey, Playa Del Rey, Palos Verdes Estates, Rancho Palos Verdes, Redondo Beach, Rolling Hills, Santa Monica, Westchester, and Torrance.

UnitedHealthcare Commits $600,000 to "Healthier Tennessee" Initiative
UnitedHealth Group Press Release:
BRENTWOOD, Tenn. (Aug. 29, 2013) —
UnitedHealthcare Commits $600,000 to "Healthier Tennessee" Initiative
- Governor's newly created Foundation for Health and Wellness encourages people to be more active, eat better and avoid tobacco products
BRENTWOOD, Tenn. (Aug. 29, 2013) —
UnitedHealthcare today announced it is providing $600,000 in support of Healthier Tennessee, the inaugural initiative of the Governor's Foundation for Health and Wellness, a nonprofit corporation created to improve the health of Tennesseans over the long-term.
Healthier Tennessee is a statewide coalition of major employers, hospital systems, health insurers, YMCAs, local government, school systems and several health care-focused foundations and civic organizations. The initiative will encourage support of common goals; consistent measurement and reporting of results; and the use of proven, best-practice programs and tools in workplaces, schools, places of worship, and neighborhoods throughout the state.
"It will take the support of schools, churches, businesses and other partners to achieve the positive health changes that are the goal of Healthier Tennessee," said Rick Johnson, President and CEO of the Governor's Foundation for Health and Wellness. "I appreciate the support and active involvement of UnitedHealthcare and all the other organizations that are showing leadership in this statewide effort to improve the health of Tennesseans."
Healthier Tennessee will enable and encourage more Tennesseans to lead healthier lives with the goal of improving the state's health by: (1) increasing the number of Tennesseans who are active physically for at least 30 minutes five times a week; (2) encouraging people to eat a healthier diet; and (3) reducing the number of people who use tobacco.
"UnitedHealthcare's mission of helping people live healthier lives is very much in line with the goals of Healthy Tennessee," said Scott A. Bowers of UnitedHealthcare Community Plan of Tennessee. "We are committed to supporting this initiative with the time and talents of our local team and appreciate the opportunity to work in partnership with other coalition members to make a positive impact on the health of Tennesseans."
Tennessee ranks 39th in the country with 31.7% of adults estimated to be obese, according to United Health Foundation's 2012 America's Health Rankings report. UnitedHealthcare has been active in the work that began earlier this year to build consensus and partnership with local community leaders, major employers, health care-focused companies, schools and the faith community in support of Healthier Tennessee. Many UnitedHealthcare initiatives are focused on engaging youth and children in maintaining a healthy lifestyle:
- Nearly 1,000 people are enrolled in a middle Tennessee program with the YMCA over the course of 2012. Every month program participants are working out, with adults averaging individual weight loss of 6 pounds. Program capacity has been doubled to accommodate interest, driven by the success to date.
- Since 2011, UnitedHealthcare has partnered with Healthy Kids & Teens and Athletic Youth Odyssey Association to prevent and reduce obesity through the encouragement of regular physical activity and nutrition education in Tennessee schools. To date, 9,000 students have enrolled and shed approximately 2,500 lbs.
- UnitedHealth HEROES, a service-learning health-literacy initiative designed to encourage school children to implement local hands-on programs in order to fight childhood obesity, has included an investment of more than $50,000 in Tennessee communities since 2009.
- With more than $110,000 in educational tools and resources, UnitedHealthcare has equipped Eat4-Health Healthy Lifestyle Ambassadors in every county where 4-H is available with educational resources and fitness equipment to show young people that being active can be fun!
- Seven Adopt-A-School grants were awarded in the spring of this year to Tennessee schools to help fund health-related initiatives in schools such as health fairs, educational sessions and walking tracks.
- Sesame Street Food for Thought: Eating Well on a Budget,™ is an ongoing initiative in the state with events and information aimed at helping families with children between ages two and eight make affordable and nutritious food choices.

Alcoa Breaks Ground on $275 Million Auto Expansion in Tennessee
Will Create 200 Permanent and 400 Construction Jobs in Tennessee
Tennessee Groundbreaking Marks Alcoa’s Second US Expansion to Meet Growing Demand for Light, Durable and Recyclable Aluminum Sheet for Auto Production
ALCOA, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam, U.S. Senator Lamar Alexander, Congressman John Duncan and other local and state officials joined Alcoa (NYSE: AA) Chairman and CEO Klaus Kleinfeld today to break ground on a $275 million expansion of Alcoa’s Tennessee Operations to meet growing aluminum demand for auto production. Aluminum, already the number two material used to build cars, is expected to nearly double by 2025.
The expansion will create an additional 200 full time jobs in Tennessee once completed by mid-2015. In addition, during construction, an incremental 400 construction jobs will be created at the plant. The previously announced expansion will convert some of the plant’s can sheet capacity to high-strength automotive aluminum capacity, as well as install incremental automotive capacity, making it a key supplier to both the packaging and automotive markets.
The Tennessee expansion is the second major automotive expansion by Alcoa in North America to meet car makers’ demand; a $300 million expansion of Alcoa’s Davenport, Iowa plant has already begun commissioning and is set to be completed by the end of 2013. Much of the volume for the automotive expansions is secured under long-term supply agreements.
“This investment will help auto manufacturers make safe, fuel-efficient vehicles that consumers want,” said Alcoa Chairman and CEO Klaus Kleinfeld. “At the same time, we’re bringing jobs to Tennessee and growing our value-added businesses. It’s a great day all around.”
As part of the groundbreaking and the 100th anniversary of Tennessee Operations, Alcoa announced a $50,000 Alcoa Foundation grant to The East Tennessee Historical Society to create an exhibit at the Museum of East Tennessee History on the past, present and future of manufacturing, “100 Years of Manufacturing in East Tennessee: and a Look Ahead at the Next 100 Years”. The exhibit will raise awareness of the evolution of manufacturing, with an emphasis on STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) to promote career options in manufacturing to students and teachers across East Tennessee and help fill the manufacturing skills gap.
“Since its founding, Alcoa has been committed to community partnerships and that is why I am pleased to announce this grant for the East Tennessee Historical Society, which will support the continued advancement of Tennessee’s manufacturing base,” said Kleinfeld.

Spring, Texas, August 27, 2013 – Bald Knob, Ark., has been awarded membership in Union Pacific's Train Town USA Registry as part of ongoing efforts to highlight cities with a historical connection to the railroad. The city will receive an official Train Town USA resolution signed by Union Pacific Chairman Jim Young at a special presentation at the historic Bald Knob Depot on August 27. Union Pacific launched its Train Town USA Registry as part of the railroad's 150th Anniversary celebration in 2012.
“We are proud to recognize Bald Knob as we celebrate our growing up together,” said Drew Tessier, Union Pacific director - public affairs. “Union Pacific was founded to help connect the nation from east to west. Our shared heritage with Bald Knob is a source of pride as we remember our past while delivering the goods American businesses and families use every day.”
The City of Bald Knob was founded in 1872, when the Cairo and Fulton Railroad laid plans to provide rail service to this area. The rail company later merged with the St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern Railway. By 1880, 56 of the town's 221 residents were employed by the railroad. In 1886, the Bald Knob Memphis Railroad was built to make an east-west connection between the St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern rail lines.
Later, the town of Bald Knob rapidly began harvesting strawberries, an export that required three switch engines to work around the clock to serve local commerce. Today, Union Pacific remains a key part of Bald Knob.
Union Pacific serves nearly 7,300 communities in 23 states west of Illinois, covering 32,000 miles.
