Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1—Basis of Presentation

The interim-period financial information presented in the financial statements included in this report is unaudited and, in the opinion of management, includes all known accruals and adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position of ConocoPhillips, its results of operations and cash flows for such periods. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed. Certain notes and other information have been condensed or omitted from the interim financial statements included in this report. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Note 3—Acquisitions and Dispositions

Acquisition of Shell Enterprise LLC's (Shell) Permian Assets

In December 2021, we completed our acquisition of Shell's assets in the Permian based Delaware Basin in an all-cash transaction for $8.6 billion after customary adjustments. Assets acquired include approximately 225,000 net acres and producing properties located entirely in Texas. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under FASB Topic ASC 805 using the acquisition method, which requires assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be measured at their acquisition date fair values. Fair value measurements were made for acquired assets and liabilities, and adjustments to those measurements may be made in subsequent periods, up to one year from the acquisition date as we identify new information about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date to consider.

Oil and gas properties were valued using a discounted cash flow approach incorporating market participant and internally generated price assumptions, production profiles, and operating and development cost assumptions. The fair values determined for accounts receivable, accounts payable, and most other current assets and current liabilities were equivalent to the carrying value due to their short-term nature. The total consideration of $8.6 billion was allocated to the identifiable assets and liabilities based on their fair values at the acquisition date.

Supplemental Pro Forma (unaudited)

The following table summarizes the unaudited supplemental pro forma financial information for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021, as if we had completed the acquisition of Shell's Permian assets on January 1, 2020:

Basic net income	$	1.55		1.71	2.32		2.56
Diluted net income	1.55			1.71	2.31		2.55

The unaudited supplemental pro forma financial information is presented for illustration and comparative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the operating results that would have occurred had the transaction been completed on January 1, 2020, nor is it necessarily indicative of future operating results of the combined entity. The unaudited pro forma financial information for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021, is a result of combining the consolidated income statement of ConocoPhillips with the results of the assets acquired from Shell. The pro forma results do not include transaction-related costs, nor any cost savings anticipated as a result of the transaction. The pro forma results include adjustments made primarily to DD&A, which is based on the unit-of-production method, resulting from the purchase price allocated to properties, plants and equipment. We believe the estimates and assumptions are reasonable, and the relative effects of the transaction are properly reflected.

Acquisition of Concho Resources Inc. (Concho)

In January 2021, we completed our acquisition of Concho, an independent oil and gas exploration and production company in an all-stock transaction. In conjunction with this acquisition, we commenced, and completed in 2021, a company-wide restructuring program, the scope of which included combining the operations of the two companies as well as other global restructuring activities for which we recognized non-recurring restructuring and transaction costs. Further information regarding the Concho acquisition can be found in the following footnotes: Note 7—Changes in Equity; Note 9—Contingencies and Commitments; Note 10—Derivative and Financial Instruments; and Note 13—Cash Flow Information and should be read in conjunction with the notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Acquisition of Additional Shareholding Interest in Australia Pacific LNG Pty Ltd (APLNG)

In February 2022, we completed the acquisition of an additional 10 percent interest in APLNG from Origin Energy for approximately $1.4 billion, after customary adjustments, in an all-cash transaction resulting from the exercise of our preemption right. This increases our ownership in APLNG to 47.5 percent, with Origin Energy and Sinopec owning

27.5 percent and 25 percent, respectively. APLNG is reported as an equity investment in our Asia Pacific segment.

Assets Sold

In April 2022, we sold our interests in certain noncore assets in the Lower 48 segment for net proceeds of $370 million and recognized a $80 million before-tax and $63 million after-tax gain. At the time of disposition, our interests in these assets had a net carrying value of $290 million, consisting primarily of $401 million of PP&E and $111 million of liabilities, primarily related to AROs.

In March 2022, we completed the divestiture of our subsidiaries that held our Indonesia assets and operations, and based on an effective date of January 1, 2021, we received net proceeds of $731 million after customary adjustments and recognized a $534 million before-tax and $462 million after-tax gain related to this transaction. Together, the subsidiaries sold indirectly held our 54 percent interest in the Indonesia Corridor Block Production Sharing Contract (PSC) and

35 percent shareholding in the Transasia Pipeline Company. At the time of the disposition, the net carrying value was approximately $0.2 billion, excluding $0.2 billion of cash and restricted cash. The net book value consisted primarily of $0.3 billion of PP&E and $0.1 billion of ARO. The before-tax earnings associated with the subsidiaries sold, excluding the gain on disposition noted above, were $138 million and $264 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Results of operations for the Indonesia interests sold were reported in our Asia Pacific segment.

For the three- and six-months ended June 30, 2022, we recorded contingent payments of $174 million and $424 million, respectively, relating to the previous dispositions of our interest in the Foster Creek Christina Lake Partnership and western Canada gas assets as well as our San Juan assets. The contingent payments are recorded as gain on disposition in our consolidated income statement and are reflected within our Canada and Lower 48 segments. For the three- and six-months ended June 30, 2021, we recorded contingent payments of $68 million and $94 million, respectively.

Planned Dispositions

In July 2022, we entered into agreements to sell our interests in certain noncore assets in the Lower 48 segment for $265 million, before customary adjustments. These transactions are expected to close in the third quarter of 2022.

Note 4—Investments, Loans and Long-Term Receivables

APLNG

APLNG executed project agreements for an $8.5 billion project finance facility in 2012 which became non-recourse following financial completion in 2017. Following restructuring efforts, the facility is currently composed of a financing agreement with the Export-Import Bank of the United States, a commercial bank facility and two United States Private Placement note facilities. APLNG principal and interest payments commenced in March 2017 and are scheduled to occur bi-annually until September 2030. At June 30, 2022, a balance of $5.5 billion was outstanding on these facilities.

See Note 8.

In February 2022, we completed the acquisition of an additional 10 percent interest in APLNG from Origin Energy for approximately $1.4 billion resulting from the exercise of our preemption right. This increases our ownership in APLNG to 47.5 percent, with Origin Energy and Sinopec owning 27.5 percent and 25 percent, respectively.

At June 30, 2022, the carrying value of our equity method investment in APLNG was $6.4 billion. The balance is included in the “Investments and long-term receivables” line on our consolidated balance sheet.

Loans

As part of our normal ongoing business operations, we enter into numerous agreements with other parties to pursue business opportunities. Included in such activity are loans made to certain affiliated and non-affiliated companies. At June 30, 2022, significant loans to affiliated companies included $59 million in project financing to Qatar Liquefied Gas Company Limited (3), which is included within the “Accounts and notes receivable—related parties” line on our consolidated balance sheet.

Note 5—Investment in Cenovus Energy

At December 31, 2021, we held 91 million common shares of Cenovus Energy (CVE), which approximated 4.5% of their issued and outstanding common shares. Those shares were carried on our balance sheet at fair value of $1.1 billion based on NYSE closing price of $12.28 per share on the last day of trading for the period. During the first quarter of 2022, we sold our remaining 91 million shares, recognizing proceeds of $1.4 billion.

All gains and losses were recognized within "Other income” on our consolidated income statement. Proceeds related to the sale of our CVE shares were included within “Cash Flows from Investing Activities” on our consolidated statement of cash flows. See Note 11.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements			Table of Contents

In May 2022, we redeemed $1,250 million principal amount of our 4.95 percent Notes due 2026. We paid premiums above face value of $79 million to redeem the debt and recognized a loss on debt extinguishment of $83 million which is included in the "Other expenses" line on our consolidated income statement. We also paid $500 million to retire the outstanding principal amount of the floating rate notes due 2022 at maturity.

In the first quarter of 2022, we completed a debt refinancing consisting of three concurrent transactions: a tender offer to repurchase existing debt for cash; exchange offers to retire certain debt in exchange for new debt and cash; and a new debt issuance to partially fund the cash paid in the tender and exchange offers.

Tender Offer

In March 2022, we repurchased a total of $2,716 million aggregate principal amount of debt as listed below. We paid premiums above face value of $333 million to repurchase these debt instruments and recognized a gain on debt extinguishment of $155 million which is included in the "Other expenses" line on our consolidated income statement.

•3.75% Notes due 2027 with principal of $1,000 million (partial repurchase of $804 million)

•4.3% Notes due 2028 with principal of $1,000 million (partial repurchase of $777 million)

•2.4% Notes due 2031 with principal of $500 million (partial repurchase of $273 million)

•4.875% Notes due 2047 with principal of $800 million (partial repurchase of $481 million)

•4.85% Notes due 2048 with principal of $600 million (partial repurchase of $381 million)

Exchange Offers

Also in March 2022, we completed two concurrent debt exchange offers through which $2,544 million of aggregate principal of existing notes was tendered and accepted in exchange for a combination of new notes and cash. The debt exchange offers were treated as debt modifications for accounting purposes resulting in a portion of the unamortized debt discount, premiums and debt issuance costs of the existing notes being allocated to the new notes on the settlement dates of the exchange offers. We paid premiums above face value of $883 million, comprised of $872 million of cash as well as new notes, which were capitalized as additional debt discount. We incurred expenses of $28 million in the exchanges which are included in the "Other expenses" line on our consolidated income statement.

The notes tendered and accepted in the exchange offers were:

•7% Debentures due 2029 with principal amount of $200 million (partial exchange of $88 million)

•6.95% Notes due 2029 with principal amount of $1,549 million (partial exchange of $354 million)

•7.4% Notes due 2031 with principal amount of $500 million (partial exchange of $118 million)

•7.25% Notes due 2031 with principal amount of $500 million (partial exchange of $100 million)

•7.2% Notes due 2031 with principal amount of $575 million (partial exchange of $128 million)

•5.95% Notes due 2036 with principal amount of $500 million (partial exchange of $174 million)

•5.9% Notes due 2038 with principal amount of $600 million (partial exchange of $250 million)

•6.5% Notes due 2039 with principal amount of $2,750 million (partial exchange of $1,162 million)

•5.95% Notes due 2046 with principal amount of $500 million (partial exchange of $171 million)

The notes tendered and accepted were exchanged for the following new notes:

•3.758% Notes due 2042 with principal amount of $785 million

•4.025% Notes due 2062 with principal amount of $1,770 million

New Debt Issuance

On March 8, 2022, we issued the following new notes consisting of:

•2.125% Notes due 2024 with principal of $900 million

•2.4% Notes due 2025 with principal of $900 million

•3.8% Notes due 2052 with principal of $1,100 million

In February 2022, we refinanced our revolving credit facility from a total borrowing capacity of $6.0 billion to $5.5 billion with an expiration date of February 2027. Our revolving credit facility may be used for direct bank borrowings, the issuance of letters of credit totaling up to $500 million, or as support for our commercial paper program. The revolving credit facility is broadly syndicated among financial institutions and does not contain any material adverse change provisions or any covenants requiring maintenance of specified financial ratios or credit ratings. The facility agreement contains a cross-default provision relating to the failure to pay principal or interest on other debt obligations of

$200 million or more by ConocoPhillips, or any of its consolidated subsidiaries. The amount of the facility is not subject to redetermination prior to its expiration date.


11			ConocoPhillips 2022 Q2 10-Q


Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements			Table of Contents

Credit facility borrowings may bear interest at a margin above rates offered by certain designated banks in the London interbank market or at a margin above the overnight federal funds rate or prime rates offered by certain designated banks in the U.S. The facility agreement calls for commitment fees on available, but unused, amounts. The facility agreement also contains early termination rights if our current directors or their approved successors cease to be a majority of the Board of Directors.

The revolving credit facility supports our ability to issue up to $5.5 billion of commercial paper. Commercial paper is generally limited to maturities of 90 days and is included in short-term debt on our consolidated balance sheet. With no commercial paper outstanding and no direct borrowings or letters of credit, we had access to $5.5 billion in available borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility at June 30, 2022. At December 31, 2021, we had no commercial paper outstanding and no direct borrowings or letters of credit issued.

The current credit ratings on our long-term debt are:

•Fitch: “A” with a “stable” outlook

•S&P: “A-” with a “stable” outlook

•Moody’s: “A3” with a “positive” outlook

We do not have any ratings triggers on any of our corporate debt that would cause an automatic default, and thereby impact our access to liquidity upon downgrade of our credit ratings. If our credit ratings are downgraded from their current levels, it could increase the cost of corporate debt available to us and restrict our access to the commercial paper markets. If our credit ratings were to deteriorate to a level prohibiting us from accessing the commercial paper market, we would still be able to access funds under our revolving credit facility.

At June 30, 2022, we had $283 million of certain variable rate demand bonds (VRDBs) outstanding with maturities ranging through 2035. The VRDBs are redeemable at the option of the bondholders on any business day. If they are ever redeemed, we have the ability and intent to refinance on a long-term basis, therefore, the VRDBs are included in the “Long-term debt” line on our consolidated balance sheet.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements			Table of Contents

Note 8—Guarantees

At June 30, 2022, we were liable for certain contingent obligations under various contractual arrangements as described below. We recognize a liability, at inception, for the fair value of our obligation as a guarantor for newly issued or modified guarantees. Unless the carrying amount of the liability is noted below, we have not recognized a liability because the fair value of the obligation is immaterial. In addition, unless otherwise stated, we are not currently performing with any significance under the guarantee and expect future performance to be either immaterial or have only a remote chance of occurrence.

APLNG Guarantees

At June 30, 2022, we had outstanding multiple guarantees in connection with our 47.5 percent ownership interest in APLNG. The following is a description of the guarantees with values calculated utilizing June 2022 exchange rates:

•During the third quarter of 2016, we issued a guarantee to facilitate the withdrawal of our pro-rata portion of the funds in a project finance reserve account. We estimate the remaining term of this guarantee is 9 years. Our maximum exposure under this guarantee is approximately $210 million and may become payable if an enforcement action is commenced by the project finance lenders against APLNG. At June 30, 2022, the carrying value of this guarantee was $14 million.

•In conjunction with our original purchase of an ownership interest in APLNG from Origin Energy Limited in October 2008, we agreed to reimburse Origin Energy Limited for our share of the existing contingent liability arising under guarantees of an existing obligation of APLNG to deliver natural gas under several sales agreements. The final guarantee expires in the fourth quarter of 2041. Our maximum potential liability for future payments, or cost of volume delivery, under these guarantees is estimated to be $820 million ($1.4 billion in the event of intentional or reckless breach) and would become payable if APLNG fails to meet its obligations under these agreements and the obligations cannot otherwise be mitigated. Future payments are considered unlikely, as the payments, or cost of volume delivery, would only be triggered if APLNG does not have enough natural gas to meet these sales commitments and if the co-ventures do not make necessary equity contributions into APLNG.

•We have guaranteed the performance of APLNG with regard to certain other contracts executed in connection with the project’s continued development. The guarantees have remaining terms of 15 to 23 years or the life of the venture. Our maximum potential amount of future payments related to these guarantees is approximately $290 million and would become payable if APLNG does not perform. At June 30, 2022, the carrying value of these guarantees was approximately $20 million.

Other Guarantees

We have other guarantees with maximum future potential payment amounts totaling approximately $720 million, which consist primarily of guarantees of the residual value of leased office buildings, guarantees of the residual value of corporate aircrafts, and a guarantee for our portion of a joint venture’s project finance reserve accounts. These guarantees have remaining terms of one to five years and would become payable if certain asset values are lower than guaranteed amounts at the end of the lease or contract term, business conditions decline at guaranteed entities, or as a result of nonperformance of contractual terms by guaranteed parties. At June 30, 2022, the carrying value of these guarantees was $8 million.

Indemnifications

Over the years, we have entered into agreements to sell ownership interests in certain legal entities, joint ventures and assets that gave rise to qualifying indemnifications. These agreements include indemnifications for taxes and environmental liabilities. The carrying amount recorded for these indemnification obligations at June 30, 2022, was

$20 million. Those related to environmental issues have terms that are generally indefinite and the maximum amounts of future payments are generally unlimited. Although it is reasonably possible future payments may exceed amounts recorded, due to the nature of the indemnifications, it is not possible to make a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential amount of future payments. See Note 9 for additional information about environmental liabilities.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements			Table of Contents

Note 9—Contingencies and Commitments

A number of lawsuits involving a variety of claims arising in the ordinary course of business have been filed against ConocoPhillips. We also may be required to remove or mitigate the effects on the environment of the placement, storage, disposal or release of certain chemical, mineral and petroleum substances at various active and inactive sites. We regularly assess the need for accounting recognition or disclosure of these contingencies. In the case of all known contingencies (other than those related to income taxes), we accrue a liability when the loss is probable and the amount is reasonably estimable. If a range of amounts can be reasonably estimated and no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, then the low end of the range is accrued. We do not reduce these liabilities for potential insurance or third-party recoveries. We accrue receivables for insurance or other third-party recoveries when applicable. With respect to income tax-related contingencies, we use a cumulative probability-weighted loss accrual in cases where sustaining a tax position is less than certain.

Based on currently available information, we believe it is remote that future costs related to known contingent liability exposures will exceed current accruals by an amount that would have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial statements. As we learn new facts concerning contingencies, we reassess our position both with respect to accrued liabilities and other potential exposures. Estimates particularly sensitive to future changes include contingent liabilities recorded for environmental remediation, tax and legal matters. Estimated future environmental remediation costs are subject to change due to such factors as the uncertain magnitude of cleanup costs, the unknown time and extent of such remedial actions that may be required, and the determination of our liability in proportion to that of other responsible parties. Estimated future costs related to tax and legal matters are subject to change as events evolve and as additional information becomes available during the administrative and litigation processes.

Environmental

We are subject to international, federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations and record accruals for environmental liabilities based on management’s best estimates. These estimates are based on currently available facts, existing technology, and presently enacted laws and regulations, taking into account stakeholder and business considerations. When measuring environmental liabilities, we also consider our prior experience in remediation of contaminated sites, other companies’ cleanup experience, and data released by the U.S. EPA or other organizations. We consider unasserted claims in our determination of environmental liabilities, and we accrue them in the period they are both probable and reasonably estimable.

Although liability of those potentially responsible for environmental remediation costs is generally joint and several for federal sites and frequently so for other sites, we are usually only one of many companies cited at a particular site. Due to the joint and several liabilities, we could be responsible for all cleanup costs related to any site at which we have been designated as a potentially responsible party. We have been successful to date in sharing cleanup costs with other financially sound companies. Many of the sites at which we are potentially responsible are still under investigation by the EPA or the agency concerned. Prior to actual cleanup, those potentially responsible normally assess the site conditions, apportion responsibility and determine the appropriate remediation. In some instances, we may have no liability or may attain a settlement of liability. Where it appears that other potentially responsible parties may be financially unable to bear their proportional share, we consider this inability in estimating our potential liability, and we adjust our accruals accordingly. As a result of various acquisitions in the past, we assumed certain environmental obligations. Some of these environmental obligations are mitigated by indemnifications made by others for our benefit, and some of the indemnifications are subject to dollar limits and time limits.

We are currently participating in environmental assessments and cleanups at numerous federal Superfund and comparable state and international sites. After an assessment of environmental exposures for cleanup and other costs, we make accruals on an undiscounted basis (except those acquired in a purchase business combination, which we record on a discounted basis) for planned investigation and remediation activities for sites where it is probable future costs will be incurred and these costs can be reasonably estimated. We have not reduced these accruals for possible insurance recoveries.

At June 30, 2022, our balance sheet included a total environmental accrual of $178 million, compared with $187 million at December 31, 2021, for remediation activities in the U.S. and Canada. We expect to incur a substantial amount of these expenditures within the next 30 years. In the future, we may be involved in additional environmental assessments, cleanups and proceedings.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements			Table of Contents

Litigation and Other Contingencies

We are subject to various lawsuits and claims including, but not limited to, matters involving oil and gas royalty and severance tax payments, gas measurement and valuation methods, contract disputes, environmental damages, climate change, personal injury, and property damage. Our primary exposures for such matters relate to alleged royalty and tax underpayments on certain federal, state and privately owned properties, claims of alleged environmental contamination and damages from historic operations, and climate change. We will continue to defend ourselves vigorously in these matters.

Our legal organization applies its knowledge, experience and professional judgment to the specific characteristics of our cases, employing a litigation management process to manage and monitor the legal proceedings against us. Our process facilitates the early evaluation and quantification of potential exposures in individual cases. This process also enables us to track those cases that have been scheduled for trial and/or mediation. Based on professional judgment and experience in using these litigation management tools and available information about current developments in all our cases, our legal organization regularly assesses the adequacy of current accruals and determines if adjustment of existing accruals, or establishment of new accruals, is required.

We have contingent liabilities resulting from throughput agreements with pipeline and processing companies not associated with financing arrangements. Under these agreements, we may be required to provide any such company with additional funds through advances and penalties for fees related to throughput capacity not utilized. In addition, at June 30, 2022, we had performance obligations secured by letters of credit of $320 million (issued as direct bank letters of credit) related to various purchase commitments for materials, supplies, commercial activities and services incident to the ordinary conduct of business.

In 2007, ConocoPhillips was unable to reach agreement with respect to the empresa mixta structure mandated by the Venezuelan government’s Nationalization Decree. As a result, Venezuela’s national oil company, Petróleos de Venezuela, S.A. (PDVSA), or its affiliates, directly assumed control over ConocoPhillips’ interests in the Petrozuata and Hamaca heavy oil ventures and the offshore Corocoro development project. In response to this expropriation, ConocoPhillips initiated international arbitration on November 2, 2007, with the ICSID. On September 3, 2013, an ICSID arbitration tribunal held that Venezuela unlawfully expropriated ConocoPhillips’ significant oil investments in June 2007. On January 17, 2017, the Tribunal reconfirmed the decision that the expropriation was unlawful. In March 2019, the Tribunal unanimously ordered the government of Venezuela to pay ConocoPhillips approximately $8.7 billion in compensation for the government’s unlawful expropriation of the company’s investments in Venezuela in 2007. On August 29, 2019, the ICSID Tribunal issued a decision rectifying the award and reducing it by approximately $227 million. The award now stands at $8.5 billion plus interest. The government of Venezuela sought annulment of the award, which automatically stayed enforcement of the award. On September 29, 2021, the ICSID annulment committee lifted the stay of enforcement of the award.

In 2014, ConocoPhillips filed a separate and independent arbitration under the rules of the ICC against PDVSA under the contracts that had established the Petrozuata and Hamaca projects. The ICC Tribunal issued an award in April 2018, finding that PDVSA owed ConocoPhillips approximately $2 billion under their agreements in connection with the expropriation of the projects and other pre-expropriation fiscal measures. In August 2018, ConocoPhillips entered into a settlement with PDVSA to recover the full amount of this ICC award, plus interest through the payment period, including initial payments totaling approximately $500 million within a period of 90 days from the time of signing of the settlement agreement. The balance of the settlement is to be paid quarterly over a period of four and a half years. Per the settlement, PDVSA recognized the ICC award as a judgment in various jurisdictions, and ConocoPhillips agreed to suspend its legal enforcement actions. ConocoPhillips sent notices of default to PDVSA on October 14 and November 12, 2019, and to date PDVSA has failed to cure its breach. As a result, ConocoPhillips has resumed legal enforcement actions. To date, ConocoPhillips has received approximately $771 million in connection with the ICC award. ConocoPhillips has ensured that the settlement and any actions taken in enforcement thereof meet all appropriate U.S. regulatory requirements, including those related to any applicable sanctions imposed by the U.S. against Venezuela.

In 2016, ConocoPhillips filed a separate and independent arbitration under the rules of the ICC against PDVSA under the contracts that had established the Corocoro Project. On August 2, 2019, the ICC Tribunal awarded ConocoPhillips approximately $33 million plus interest under the Corocoro contracts. ConocoPhillips is seeking recognition and enforcement of the award in various jurisdictions. ConocoPhillips has ensured that all the actions related to the award meet all appropriate U.S. regulatory requirements, including those related to any applicable sanctions imposed by the U.S. against Venezuela.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements			Table of Contents

Beginning in 2017, governmental and other entities in several states in the U.S. have filed lawsuits against oil and gas companies, including ConocoPhillips, seeking compensatory damages and equitable relief to abate alleged climate change impacts. Additional lawsuits with similar allegations are expected to be filed. The amounts claimed by plaintiffs are unspecified and the legal and factual issues are unprecedented, therefore, there is significant uncertainty about the scope of the claims and alleged damages and any potential impact on the Company’s financial condition. ConocoPhillips believes these lawsuits are factually and legally meritless and are an inappropriate vehicle to address the challenges associated with climate change and will vigorously defend against such lawsuits.

Several Louisiana parishes and the State of Louisiana have filed 43 lawsuits under Louisiana’s State and Local Coastal Resources Management Act (SLCRMA) against oil and gas companies, including ConocoPhillips, seeking compensatory damages for contamination and erosion of the Louisiana coastline allegedly caused by historical oil and gas operations. ConocoPhillips entities are defendants in 22 of the lawsuits and will vigorously defend against them. Because Plaintiffs’ SLCRMA theories are unprecedented, there is uncertainty about these claims (both as to scope and damages) and we continue to evaluate our exposure in these lawsuits.

In October 2020, the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) ordered the prior owners of Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Lease P-0166, including ConocoPhillips, to decommission the lease facilities, including two offshore platforms located near Carpinteria, California. This order was sent after the current owner of OCS Lease P-0166 relinquished the lease and abandoned the lease platforms and facilities. BSEE’s order to ConocoPhillips is premised on its connection to Phillips Petroleum Company, a legacy company of ConocoPhillips, which held a historical 25 percent interest in this lease and operated these facilities but sold its interest approximately 30 years ago. ConocoPhillips is challenging the BSEE order but continues to evaluate its exposure in this matter.

On May 10, 2021, ConocoPhillips filed arbitration under the rules of the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (SIAC) against Santos KOTN Pty Ltd. and Santos Limited for their failure to timely pay the $200 million bonus due upon final investment decision of the Barossa development project under the sale and purchase agreement. Santos KOTN Pty Ltd. and Santos Limited have filed a response and counterclaim, and the arbitration is underway.

In July 2021, a federal securities class action was filed against Concho, certain of Concho’s officers, and ConocoPhillips as Concho’s successor in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas. On October 21, 2021, the court issued an order appointing Utah Retirement Systems and the Construction Laborers Pension Trust for Southern California as lead plaintiffs (Lead Plaintiffs). On January 7, 2022, the Lead Plaintiffs filed their consolidated complaint alleging that Concho made materially false and misleading statements regarding its business and operations in violation of the federal securities laws and seeking unspecified damages, attorneys’ fees, costs, equitable/injunctive relief, and such other relief that may be deemed appropriate. We believe the allegations in the action are without merit and are vigorously defending this litigation.

Note 10—Derivative and Financial Instruments

We use futures, forwards, swaps and options in various markets to meet our customer needs, capture market opportunities and manage foreign exchange currency risk.

Commodity Derivative Instruments

Our commodity business primarily consists of natural gas, crude oil, bitumen, LNG and NGLs.

Commodity derivative instruments are held at fair value on our consolidated balance sheet. Where these balances have the right of setoff, they are presented on a net basis. Related cash flows are recorded as operating activities on our consolidated statement of cash flows. On our consolidated income statement, gains and losses are recognized either on a gross basis if directly related to our physical business or a net basis if held for trading. Gains and losses related to contracts that meet and are designated with the NPNS exception are recognized upon settlement. We generally apply this exception to eligible crude contracts and certain gas contracts. We do not apply hedge accounting for our commodity derivatives.

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, total unrealized losses for debt securities classified as available for sale with net losses were negligible. Additionally, as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, investments in these debt securities in an unrealized loss position for which an allowance for credit losses has not been recorded were negligible.

For the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, proceeds from sales and redemptions of investments in debt securities classified as available for sale were $86 million and $201 million, respectively. For the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021, proceeds from sales and redemptions of investments in debt securities classified as available for sale were $173 million and $320 million, respectively. Gross realized gains and losses included in earnings from those sales and redemptions were negligible. The cost of securities sold and redeemed is determined using the specific identification method.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements			Table of Contents

Credit Risk

Financial instruments potentially exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash equivalents, short-term investments, long-term investments in debt securities, OTC derivative contracts and trade receivables. Our cash equivalents and short-term investments are placed in high-quality commercial paper, government money market funds, U.S. government and government agency obligations, time deposits with major international banks and financial institutions, high-quality corporate bonds, foreign government obligations and asset-backed securities. Our long-term investments in debt securities are placed in high-quality corporate bonds, asset-backed securities, U.S. government and government agency obligations, and foreign government obligations.

The credit risk from our OTC derivative contracts, such as forwards, swaps and options, derives from the counterparty to the transaction. Individual counterparty exposure is managed within predetermined credit limits and includes the use of cash-call margins when appropriate, thereby reducing the risk of significant nonperformance. We also use futures, swaps and option contracts that have a negligible credit risk because these trades are cleared primarily with an exchange clearinghouse and subject to mandatory margin requirements until settled; however, we are exposed to the credit risk of those exchange brokers for receivables arising from daily margin cash calls, as well as for cash deposited to meet initial margin requirements.

Our trade receivables result primarily from our oil and gas operations and reflect a broad national and international customer base, which limits our exposure to concentrations of credit risk. The majority of these receivables have payment terms of 30 days or less, and we continually monitor this exposure and the creditworthiness of the counterparties. We may require collateral to limit the exposure to loss including letters of credit, prepayments and surety bonds, as well as master netting arrangements to mitigate credit risk with counterparties that both buy from and sell to us, as these agreements permit the amounts owed by us or owed to others to be offset against amounts due to us.

Certain of our derivative instruments contain provisions that require us to post collateral if the derivative exposure exceeds a threshold amount. We have contracts with fixed threshold amounts and other contracts with variable threshold amounts that are contingent on our credit rating. The variable threshold amounts typically decline for lower credit ratings, while both the variable and fixed threshold amounts typically revert to zero if we fall below investment grade. Cash is the primary collateral in all contracts; however, many also permit us to post letters of credit as collateral, such as transactions administered through the New York Mercantile Exchange.

The aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with such credit risk-related contingent features that were in a liability position at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $326 million and $281 million, respectively. For these instruments, collateral posted at June 30, 2022 was $6 million and no collateral was posted at December 31, 2021. If our credit rating had been downgraded below investment grade at June 30, 2022, we would have been required to post

$238 million of additional collateral, either with cash or letters of credit.

Note 11—Fair Value Measurement

We carry a portion of our assets and liabilities at fair value that are measured at the reporting date using an exit price (i.e., the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability) and disclosed according to the quality of valuation inputs under the fair value hierarchy.

The classification of an asset or liability is based on the lowest level of input significant to its fair value. Those that are initially classified as Level 3 are subsequently reported as Level 2 when the fair value derived from unobservable inputs is inconsequential to the overall fair value, or if corroborated market data becomes available. Assets and liabilities initially reported as Level 2 are subsequently reported as Level 3 if corroborated market data is no longer available. There were no material transfers into or out of Level 3 during the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, nor during the year ended December 31, 2021.

Recurring Fair Value Measurement

Financial assets and liabilities reported at fair value on a recurring basis includes our investment in CVE common shares, our investments in debt securities classified as available for sale, and commodity derivatives.

•Level 1 derivative assets and liabilities primarily represent exchange-traded futures and options that are valued using unadjusted prices available from the underlying exchange. Level 1 also includes our investment in common shares of CVE, which is valued using quotes for shares on the NYSE, and our investments in U.S. government obligations classified as available for sale debt securities, which are valued using exchange prices.

•Level 2 derivative assets and liabilities primarily represent OTC swaps, options and forward purchase and sale contracts that are valued using adjusted exchange prices, prices provided by brokers or pricing service companies that are all corroborated by market data. Level 2 also includes our investments in debt securities classified as available for sale including investments in corporate bonds, commercial paper, asset-backed securities, U.S. government agency obligations and foreign government obligations that are valued using pricing provided by brokers or pricing service companies that are corroborated with market data.

•Level 3 derivative assets and liabilities consist of OTC swaps, options and forward purchase and sale contracts where a significant portion of fair value is calculated from underlying market data that is not readily available. The derived value uses industry standard methodologies that may consider the historical relationships among various commodities, modeled market prices, time value, volatility factors and other relevant economic measures. The use of these inputs results in management’s best estimate of fair value. Level 3 activity was not material for all periods presented.

The following table summarizes the fair value hierarchy for gross financial assets and liabilities (i.e., unadjusted where the right of setoff exists for commodity derivatives accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis):

Reported Fair Values of Financial Instruments

We used the following methods and assumptions to estimate the fair value of financial instruments:

•Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments: The carrying amount reported on the balance sheet approximates fair value. For those investments classified as available for sale debt securities, the carrying amount reported on the balance sheet is fair value.

•Accounts and notes receivable (including long-term and related parties): The carrying amount reported on the balance sheet approximates fair value. The valuation technique and methods used to estimate the fair value of the current portion of fixed-rate related party loans is consistent with Loans and advances— related parties.

•Investment in Cenovus Energy: See Note 5 for a discussion of the carrying value and fair value of our investment in CVE common shares.

•Investments in debt securities classified as available for sale: The fair value of investments in debt securities categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy is measured using exchange prices. The fair value of investments in debt securities categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy is measured using pricing provided by brokers or pricing service companies that are corroborated with market data. See Note 10.

•Loans and advances—related parties: The carrying amount of floating-rate loans approximates fair value. The fair value of fixed-rate loan activity is measured using market observable data and is categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. See Note 4.

•Accounts payable (including related parties) and floating-rate debt: The carrying amount of accounts payable and floating-rate debt reported on the balance sheet approximates fair value.

•Fixed-rate debt: The estimated fair value of fixed-rate debt is measured using prices available from a pricing service that is corroborated by market data; therefore, these liabilities are categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

•Commercial paper: The carrying amount of our commercial paper instruments approximates fair value and is reported on the balance sheet as short-term debt.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements			Table of Contents

The components of net periodic benefit cost, other than the service cost component, are included in the "Other expenses" line of our consolidated income statement.

During the first six months of 2022, we contributed $44 million to our domestic benefit plans and $77 million to our international benefit plans. We expect our total contributions in 2022 to be approximately $95 million to our domestic qualified and nonqualified pension and postretirement benefit plans and $90 million to our international qualified and nonqualified pension and postretirement benefit plans.

During the three-month period ended June 30, 2022, lump-sum benefit payments exceeded the sum of service and interest costs for the year for the U.S. qualified pension plan and a U.S. nonqualified supplemental retirement plan. As a result, we recognized a proportionate share of prior actuarial losses from other comprehensive income as pension settlement expense of $18 million. In conjunction with the recognition of pension settlement expense, the fair market values of the pension plan assets were updated and the pension benefit obligations of the U.S. qualified pension plan and the U.S. nonqualified supplemental retirement plan were remeasured at June 30, 2022. At the measurement date, the net pension liability increased by $82 million, primarily a result of lower than premised return on assets, partially offset by an increase in the discount rate, resulting in a corresponding decrease to other comprehensive income.

The relevant discount rates are summarized in the following table:


	June 30 2022		December 31 2021


Relevant discount rates
U.S. qualified pension plan	4.85	%	2.85
U.S. nonqualified pension plan	4.70		2.50

Practical Expedients

Typically, our commodity sales contracts are less than 12 months in duration; however, in certain specific cases they may extend longer, which may be out to the end of field life. We have long-term commodity sales contracts which use prevailing market prices at the time of delivery, and under these contracts, the market-based variable consideration for each performance obligation (i.e., delivery of commodity) is allocated to each wholly unsatisfied performance obligation within the contract. Accordingly, we have applied the practical expedient allowed in ASC Topic 606 and do not disclose the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to performance obligations or when we expect to recognize revenues that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) as of the end of the reporting period.

Receivables and Contract Liabilities

Receivables from Contracts with Customers

At June 30, 2022, the “Accounts and notes receivable” line on our consolidated balance sheet includes trade receivables of $6,554 million compared with $5,268 million at December 31, 2021, and includes both contracts with customers within the scope of ASC Topic 606 and those that are outside the scope of ASC Topic 606. We typically receive payment within 30 days or less (depending on the terms of the invoice) once delivery is made. Revenues that are outside the scope of ASC Topic 606 relate primarily to physical gas sales contracts at market prices for which we do not elect NPNS and are therefore accounted for as a derivative under ASC Topic 815. There is little distinction in the nature of the customer or credit quality of trade receivables associated with gas sold under contracts for which NPNS has not been elected compared to trade receivables where NPNS has been elected.

Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers

We have entered into certain agreements under which we license our proprietary technology, including the Optimized Cascade® process technology, to customers to maximize the efficiency of LNG plants. These agreements typically provide for milestone payments to be made during and after the construction phases of the LNG plant. The payments are not directly related to our performance obligations under the contract and are recorded as deferred revenue to be recognized when the customer is able to benefit from their right to use the applicable licensed technology.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, we recognized revenue of $56 million in the "Sales and other operating revenues" line on our consolidated income statement. No revenue was recognized during the three-month period ended June 30, 2022. We expect to recognize the contract liabilities as of June 30, 2022, as revenue during 2026.

Note 17—Segment Disclosures and Related Information

We explore for, produce, transport and market crude oil, bitumen, natural gas, LNG and NGLs on a worldwide basis. We manage our operations through six operating segments, which are primarily defined by geographic region: Alaska; Lower 48; Canada; Europe, Middle East and North Africa; Asia Pacific; and Other International.

Corporate and Other represents income and costs not directly associated with an operating segment, such as most interest income and expense; premiums on early retirement of debt; corporate overhead and certain technology activities, including licensing revenues; and unrealized holding gains or losses on equity securities. Corporate assets include all cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments.

We evaluate performance and allocate resources based on net income (loss). Intersegment sales are at prices that approximate market.

Note 18—Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was 32.8 percent and 32.1 percent, respectively, and our effective tax rate for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was 29.9 percent and 35.9 percent, respectively. Our effective tax rate for the first six-months of 2022 was impacted by the shift of income among our taxing jurisdictions, the release of tax reserves related to the closing of an IRS audit, a change to our valuation allowance, and the impact of the interest deduction related to our debt exchange, as described below.

In the first quarter of 2022, the IRS closed the 2017 audit of our U.S. federal income tax return. As a result, we recognized federal and state tax benefits totaling $515 million relating to the recovery of outside tax basis previously offset by a full reserve.

During the second quarter of 2022, Norway enacted changes to the Petroleum Tax System. As a result of the enactment, a valuation allowance of $58 million was recorded during the quarter to reflect changes to our ability to realize certain deferred tax assets under the new law.

For the three- and six-month periods of 2022, our valuation allowance increased by $58 million and $5 million, respectively, compared to a decrease of $87 million and $151 million for the same periods of 2021. The increase in the three- and six-month periods of 2022 relate to the Norway tax law change described above. In addition, our six-month periods of 2022 and of 2021 include impacts from changes in our valuation allowance related to the fair value measurement of our CVE common shares and our expectation of the tax impact related to incremental capital gains and losses.

Our 2022 and 2021 effective tax rates were adversely impacted by $37 million and $75 million, respectively, due to incremental interest deductions from debt exchanges in both periods offsetting U.S. foreign source revenue that would otherwise have been offset by foreign tax credits. See Note 6.

The Company has ongoing income tax audits in a number of jurisdictions. The government agents in charge of these audits regularly request additional time to complete audits, which we generally grant, and conversely occasionally close audits unpredictably. Within the next twelve months we may have audit periods close that could significantly impact our total unrecognized tax benefits. The amount of such change is not estimable but could be significant when compared with our total unrecognized tax benefits.

Business Environment and Executive Overview

ConocoPhillips is the world’s largest independent E&P company with operations and activities in 13 countries. Our diverse, low cost of supply portfolio includes resource-rich unconventional plays in North America; conventional assets in North America, Europe, and Asia; LNG developments; oil sands in Canada; and an inventory of global conventional and unconventional exploration prospects. Headquartered in Houston, Texas, at June 30, 2022, we employed approximately 9,400 people worldwide and had total assets of $94 billion.

Overview

Commodity prices continued to increase during the second quarter of 2022, in part due to the continued impacts associated with the Russian invasion of Ukraine and sanctions levied against Russia as a result of the conflict. We anticipate that prices will continue to be cyclical and volatile, and our view is that a successful business strategy in the E&P industry must be resilient in lower price environments, while also retaining full upside exposure during periods of higher prices. As such, we are unhedged, remain highly disciplined in our investment decisions and continue to monitor market fundamentals including the impacts associated with the conflict in Ukraine, OPEC plus supply updates, global demand for our products, oil and gas inventory levels, inflation, supply chain disruptions and the fluctuating global COVID-19 impacts.

The macro-environment, including the energy transition, also continues to evolve. We believe ConocoPhillips is playing a valued role in the energy transition. We are guided by our triple mandate that simultaneously calls for us to reliably and responsibly deliver oil and gas production to meet energy transition pathway demand, deliver competitive returns on and of capital, and do so with a resilient and sustainable portfolio enabling us to achieve our net-zero operating emissions ambition. Our triple mandate is supported by financial principles and capital allocation priorities designed to allow us to deliver superior returns through the price cycles. Our financial principles consist of maintaining balance sheet strength, providing peer-leading distributions, making disciplined investments and demonstrating ESG leadership, all of which are in service to generating competitive financial returns through the price cycles.

In the second quarter, total company production was 1,692 MBOED, resulting in cash provided by operating activities of $7.9 billion, with $1 billion returned to shareholders through our ordinary dividend and a VROC and $2.3 billion through share repurchases. We ended the quarter with cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaling $8.2 billion.

In May 2022, we announced an increase to our 2022 expected distributions through our three-tier return of capital framework to $10 billion for the year. Additionally, in August we increased our targeted distributions further, to a new total of $15 billion for the year. This framework includes our ordinary dividend, share repurchases and the VROC tier that was introduced last December. In August, we declared our third quarter ordinary dividend of $0.46 per share and a fourth quarter VROC payment of $1.40 per share.


31			ConocoPhillips 2022 Q2 10-Q


Management’s Discussion and Analysis			Table of Contents

Demonstrating our commitment to enhance balance sheet strength, in May 2022, we retired $1,250 million principal amount of our 4.95 percent Notes due 2026 and $500 million principal amount of floating rate notes. Both retirements were sourced from available cash. Additionally, in the first quarter we executed a debt refinancing comprised of concurrent transactions including new debt issuances, a cash tender offer and debt exchange offers. In aggregate, these transactions reduced the company's total debt by $3 billion. These activities facilitate our ability to achieve our previously announced $5 billion debt reduction target by the end of 2026, while also reducing the company's annual cash interest expense. See Note 6.

In 2022, we have taken several steps to expand our global LNG business. In the first quarter, we increased our equity share in Asia Pacific LNG (APLNG). In the second quarter, we signed an agreement for a new joint venture with QatarEnergy that will participate with a 12.5 percent interest in the North Field East LNG project. Subject to regulatory approvals, we will hold a 25 percent interest in this joint venture. Domestically, in July 2022, we announced a Heads of Agreement (HOA) with Sempra to potentially acquire a 30 percent direct equity holding in Port Arthur Liquefaction Holdings, LLC and an LNG offtake equivalent to approximately 5 million tonnes per annum from the Port Arthur LNG project. The HOA is a preliminary, non-binding arrangement, with development of the Port Arthur LNG project subject to concluding definitive agreements and resolving a number of risks and uncertainties, including, among others, signing engineering and construction contracts, obtaining financing and reaching a final investment decision between the parties.

As part of our ongoing portfolio high-grading and optimization efforts, in April 2022, we completed the sale of certain noncore assets in the Lower 48 segment for $370 million after customary adjustments. In July 2022, we entered into agreements to sell our interests in additional noncore assets in the Lower 48 segment for $265 million, before customary adjustments. These transactions are expected to close in the third quarter of 2022. See Note 3.

Operationally, we remain focused on safely executing the business. Production was 1,692 MBOED in the second quarter of 2022, an increase of 104 MBOED from the same period a year ago. After adjusting for closed acquisitions and dispositions and the conversion of previously acquired Concho contracted volumes from a two-stream to a three-stream basis, second-quarter 2022 production decreased by 69 MBOED or 4 percent from the same period a year ago. Organic growth from Lower 48 and other development programs more than offset decline; however, production was lower overall primarily due to planned and unplanned downtime.

We re-invested $2 billion into the business in the form of capital expenditures and investments during the second quarter of 2022, with over half of the expenditures focused on flexible, short-cycle unconventional plays in the Lower 48 segment, where our production has access to both domestic and export markets.

In further support of our commitment to ESG leadership and excellence, in July 2022, we announced that ConocoPhillips joined the Oil and Gas Methane Partnership (OGMP) 2.0 initiative. The initiative's mission is to improve industry transparency in methane emissions reporting and encourage progress in reducing those emissions. We believe that applying the rigorous OGMP 2.0 reporting standards across our global assets will be a vital step towards meeting our Paris-aligned climate-risk commitments, including our net-zero ambition for operational emissions by 2050, and will allow us to credibly demonstrate how we are delivering against our methane improvement objectives and targets.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis			Table of Contents

Business Environment

Commodity prices are the most significant factor impacting our profitability and related returns on and of capital to our shareholders. Dynamics that could influence world energy markets and commodity prices are global economic health, supply or demand disruptions or fears thereof caused by civil unrest, global pandemics, military conflicts, actions taken by OPEC plus and other major oil producing countries, environmental laws, tax regulations, governmental policies and weather-related disruptions. Our strategy is to create value through price cycles by delivering on the financial, operational and ESG priorities that underpin our value proposition.

Our earnings and operating cash flows generally correlate with price levels for crude oil and natural gas, which are subject to factors external to the company and over which we have no control. The following graph depicts the trend in average benchmark prices for WTI crude oil, Brent crude oil and Henry Hub natural gas:

Brent crude oil prices averaged $113.78 per barrel in the second quarter of 2022, an increase of 65 percent compared with $68.83 per barrel in the second quarter of 2021. WTI at Cushing crude oil prices averaged $108.41 per barrel in the second quarter of 2022, an increase of 64 percent compared with $66.07 per barrel in the second quarter of 2021. Oil prices increased as a result of the ongoing global economic recovery following COVID-related impacts as well as supply constraints due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, OPEC plus adherence to agreed production quotas, other disruptions and supply chain bottlenecks limiting growth.

Henry Hub natural gas prices averaged $7.17 per MMBTU in the second quarter of 2022, an increase of 153 percent compared with $2.83 per MMBTU in the second quarter of 2021. Henry Hub prices have increased due to low inventories, healthy domestic demand and strong exports via pipelines and LNG.

Our realized bitumen price averaged $75.42 per barrel in the second quarter of 2022, an increase of 101 percent compared with $37.60 per barrel in the second quarter of 2021. The increase in the second quarter of 2022 was driven by higher blend prices for Surmont sales, largely attributed to a strengthening of WTI price. We continue to optimize bitumen price realizations through the utilization of downstream transportation solutions and implementation of alternate blend capability which results in lower diluent costs.

For the second quarter of 2022 our total average realized price increased to $88.57 per BOE compared with

$50.03 per BOE in the second quarter of 2021.

•Completed $0.4 billion of noncore asset sales during the quarter.

•Ended the quarter with cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $7.2 billion and short-term investments of $1.3 billion.

Outlook

Capital and Production

Third-quarter 2022 production is expected to be 1.70 to 1.76 MBOED, reflecting the impacts of seasonal turnarounds planned primarily in Alaska and the Asia Pacific region. Full-year production is expected to be approximately

1.74 MMBOED reflecting uncertainty in Libya and modest updates across the portfolio.

Guidance regarding capital is unchanged.

Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization

Full-year guidance for depreciation, depletion and amortization has decreased to $7.6 billion.

Net income	$	5,145	2,091	10,904	3,073

Net income in the second quarter of 2022 increased $3,054 million. Second quarter earnings were positively impacted by:

•Higher realized commodity prices.

•Higher sales volumes, primarily due to our Shell Permian acquisition, partly offset by assets divested. See Note 3.

•Higher equity in earnings of affiliates, primarily due to higher LNG sales prices.

•Gain on dispositions primarily due the divestiture of noncore assets in the Lower 48 segment and recognizing higher contingent payments related to prior dispositions in our Canada and Lower 48 segments. See Note 3.

Second quarter 2022 earnings were negatively impacted by:

•Higher production and operating expenses and taxes other than income taxes, primarily due to higher prices and production volumes.

•Higher income tax provision.

•Absence of mark to market gains associated with Cenovus Energy (CVE) shares. See Note 5.

Net income in the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, increased $7,831 million. In addition to the items mentioned above, earnings in the six-month period were positively impacted by:

•Previously unrecognized $515 million tax benefit related to the closing of an IRS audit in the first quarter.

See Note 18.

•Gain on dispositions primarily due to a $462 million after-tax gain related to the divestiture of our Indonesia assets. See Note 3.

•Absence of restructuring and transaction expenses of $243 million after-tax related to our Concho acquisition.

•Absence of realized losses on hedges of $233 million after-tax related to derivative positions acquired in our Concho acquisition. See Note 10.

•Lower DD&A expenses caused by lower rates driven by price-related reserve revisions due to higher commodity prices, partially offset by higher production volumes.

•After-tax gain of $62 million associated with refinancing transactions. See Note 6.

In addition to the items mentioned above, earnings in the six-month period were negatively impacted by:

•Absence of $194 million after-tax gain recognized in conjunction with our Australia-West divestiture. See Note 9.

Income Statement Analysis

Unless otherwise indicated, all results in Income Statement Analysis are before-tax.

Sales and other operating revenues for the three- and six-month periods of 2022 increased $11,605 million and

$19,541 million, respectively, mainly due to higher realized commodity prices and higher sales volumes.

Equity in earnings of affiliates for the three- and six-month periods of 2022 increased $385 million and $689 million, respectively, primarily due to higher earnings driven by higher LNG and crude prices as well as higher sales volumes inclusive of the additional 10 percent interest in APLNG we acquired in the first quarter of 2022. See Note 3.

Gain on dispositions in the second quarter of 2022 increased due to a gain of $80 million for the sale of noncore assets in the Lower 48 segment. For the six-month period of 2022, we recognized a gain of $534 million from our Indonesia divestiture. For both the three- and six-month periods of 2022, we recognized higher contingent payments associated with previous dispositions in our Canada and Lower 48 segments than the same periods of 2021. Offsetting the increase in gains in the six-month period of 2022 was the absence of a $200 million gain associated with our Australia-West divestiture recognized in the first quarter of 2021. See Note 3.

Other income for the three- and six-month periods of 2022 decreased $415 million and $507 million, respectively, primarily due to the absence of mark to market gains associated with our CVE common shares which were fully divested in the first quarter of 2022. See Note 5.

Purchased commodities for the three- and six-month periods of 2022 increased $6,236 million and $8,504 million, respectively, primarily due to higher gas and crude prices and volumes.

Production and operating expenses for the three- and six-month periods of 2022 increased $362 million and $560 million, respectively, primarily due to higher production volumes.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $145 million in the six-month period primarily due to the absence of transaction and restructuring expenses associated with our Concho acquisition in 2021.

DD&A for the three- and six-month periods of 2022 decreased $57 million and $120 million, respectively, mainly due to lower rates from positive price-related reserve revisions and the absence of DD&A from disposed assets offset by higher overall production volumes primarily associated with our Shell Permian acquisition.

Taxes other than income taxes for the three- and six-month periods of 2022 increased $639 million and $1,083 million, respectively, caused by higher commodity prices and higher production volumes.

Other expenses for the second quarter of 2022 increased $49 million primarily related to premiums paid to repurchase debt. For the six-month period of 2022, other expenses decreased $111 million primarily related to a gain of $127 million associated with extinguishment of debt from the first quarter of 2022. See Note 6.

See Note 18—Income Taxes for information regarding our Income tax provision and effective tax rate.

Results of Operations			Table of Contents

We explore for, produce, transport and market crude oil, bitumen, natural gas, LNG and NGLs on a worldwide basis. In the quarter ending June 30, 2022, our operations were producing in the U.S., Norway, Canada, Australia, China, Malaysia, Qatar and Libya.

Total production of 1,692 MBOED increased 104 MBOED or 7 percent in the second quarter of 2022 and 162 MBOED or 10 percent in the six-month period of 2022, primarily due to:

•New wells online in the Lower 48, Alaska, Malaysia and Canada.

•Higher volumes in the Lower 48 due to our Shell Permian acquisition.

•Conversion of previously acquired Concho contracted volumes from a two-stream to a three-stream basis.

Production increases in the second quarter and in the six-month period of 2022 were partly offset due to:

•Normal field decline.

•Divestitures of Indonesia and noncore assets in the Lower 48 segment.

Production for the second quarter of 2022 was 1,692 MBOED, an increase of 104 MBOED from the same period a year ago. After adjusting for closed acquisitions and dispositions and the conversion of previously acquired Concho contracted volumes from a two-stream to a three-stream basis, second-quarter 2022 production decreased by 69 MBOED or 4 percent from the same period a year ago. Organic growth from Lower 48 and other development programs more than offset decline; however, production was lower overall primarily due to planned and unplanned downtime.

Production for the first six months of 2022 was 1,720 MBOED, an increase of 162 MBOED from the same period a year ago. After adjusting for closed acquisitions and dispositions, the conversion of previously acquired Concho contracted volumes from a two-stream to a three-stream basis, and 2021 Winter Storm Uri impacts, production decreased

53 MBOED or 3 percent from the same period a year ago. Organic growth from Lower 48 and other development programs more than offset decline; however, production was lower overall primarily due to planned and unplanned downtime.

The Alaska segment primarily explores for, produces, transports and markets crude oil, NGLs and natural gas. As of June 30, 2022, Alaska contributed 18 percent of our consolidated liquids production and two percent of our consolidated natural gas production.

Net Income

Earnings from Alaska increased $316 million and $741 million in the three- and six-month periods of 2022, respectively. Increases to earnings include:

•Higher realized crude oil prices.

Offsets to the earnings increase include:

•Higher taxes other than income taxes associated with higher realized crude oil prices.

In addition to the items detailed above, in the six-month period of 2022, earnings also increased due to:

•Lower DD&A expenses primarily driven by lower rates from price-related reserve revisions and lower production.

Production

Average production decreased slightly in the three- and six-month periods of 2022, respectively. Decreases to production include:

•Normal field decline.

•Higher downtime and lower base performance primarily in our Greater Kuparuk Area.

Offsets to the production decreases include:

•New wells online at our Western North Slope assets.

•Higher gas volumes in our Greater Prudhoe Area.

*2022 includes the conversion of previously acquired Concho two-stream contracts to three-stream initiated in the fourth quarter of 2021.

The Lower 48 segment consists of operations located in the U.S. Lower 48 states, as well as producing properties in the Gulf of Mexico. As of June 30, 2022, the Lower 48 contributed 67 percent of our consolidated liquids production and

71 percent of our consolidated natural gas production.

Net Income

Earnings from the Lower 48 increased $2,406 million and $4,728 million in the three- and six-month periods of 2022, respectively. Increases to earnings include:

•Higher realized prices.

•Higher sales volumes of crude oil and NGLs primarily related to our Shell Permian Acquisition. See Note 3.

•After-tax gains on disposition of $63 million related to the sale of certain noncore assets as well as contingent payments of $16 million and $32 million in the three- and six-month periods of 2022, respectively, associated with previous asset sales. See Note 3.

Offsets to the earnings increase include:

•Higher production and operating expenses, taxes other than income taxes and DD&A expenses primarily due to higher production volumes. Partially offsetting the increase in DD&A expenses were lower rates from price-related reserve revisions.

In addition to the items detailed above, in the six-month period of 2022, earnings also increased due to the absence of realized losses on hedges related to derivative positions acquired in our Concho acquisition. See Note 10.

Production

Average production increased 183 MBOED and 217 MBOED in the three- and six-month periods of 2022, respectively. Increases to production include:

•New wells online from our development programs in Permian, Eagle Ford and Bakken.

•Higher volumes due to our Shell Permian acquisition. See Note 3.

•Conversion of previously acquired Concho contracted volumes from a two-stream to a three-stream basis.

Offsets to the production increases include:

•Normal field decline.

Completed and Planned Dispositions

On April 1, 2022, we completed our divestiture of certain noncore assets for $370 million, after customary adjustments. Production from these assets averaged approximately 10 MBOED in the three-months ended March 31, 2022. In July 2022, we entered into agreements to sell our interests in certain noncore assets in the Lower 48 segment for $265 million, before customary adjustments. These transactions are expected to close in the third quarter of 2022. See Note 3.

Our Canadian operations mainly consist of the Surmont oil sands development in Alberta and the liquids-rich Montney unconventional play in British Columbia. As of June 30, 2022, Canada contributed one percent of our consolidated liquids production and three percent of our consolidated natural gas production.

Net Income

Earnings from Canada increased $214 million and $495 million in the three- and six-month periods of 2022, respectively. Increases to earnings include:

•Higher realized prices.

•Higher after-tax gains on disposition related to contingent payments of $118 million and $294 million in the three- and six-month periods of 2022, respectively, associated with the prior sale of certain assets to CVE, compared with $52 million and $72 million in the same periods of 2021, respectively. See Note 3.

Offsetting the earnings increases were lower sales volumes.

Production

Average production decreased 17 MBOED and 15 MBOED in the three- and six-month periods of 2022, respectively. Decreases to production include:

•Normal field decline.

•Planned turnaround at the Surmont Central Processing Facility 1 during the second quarter of 2022.

•Higher royalty rates across the segment due to higher commodity prices.

The Europe, Middle East and North Africa segment consists of operations principally located in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea and the Norwegian Sea, Qatar, Libya and commercial operations in the U.K. During the current period, we have increased our capacity and supply arrangements on future gas purchases, which are primarily offset by future gas sales contracts, primarily in Europe. As of June 30, 2022, our Europe, Middle East and North Africa operations contributed nine percent of our consolidated liquids production and 16 percent of our consolidated natural gas production.

Net Income

Earnings from Europe, Middle East and North Africa increased by $178 million and $437 million in the three- and

six-month periods of 2022, respectively. Increases to earnings include:

•Higher realized prices.

•Higher LNG sales prices, reflected in equity in earnings of affiliates.

•Foreign exchange gains as the USD strengthened against the Norwegian Kroner.

Offsetting the earnings increases include:

•Lower sales volumes primarily due to turnaround activity in Norway in the second quarter.

•Changes to the Petroleum Tax System in Norway. See Note 18.

In addition to the items detailed above, in the six-month period of 2022, earnings impacts include:

•Increase due to lower DD&A expenses primarily driven by lower volumes and lower rates from price-related reserve revisions.

•Decrease due to lower sales volumes primarily due to turnaround activity in Qatar in the first quarter, reflected in equity in earnings of affiliates.

Consolidated Production

Average consolidated production decreased 29 MBOED and 15 MBOED in the three- and six-month periods of 2022, respectively. Decreases to production include:

•Fieldwide turnarounds in the Greater Ekofisk Area of Norway in the second quarter of 2022.

•Normal field decline.

•Curtailed production in Libya due to the force majeure at the Es Sider export terminal in June.

Offsets to the production decreases include:

•New wells online and improved performance in Norway.

Force Majeure in Libya

Production ceased the last week of June 2022, due to a forced shutdown of the Es Sider export terminal after a period of civil unrest. Force majeure was lifted on July 15, 2022, and production has resumed.

Exploration Activity

Three wells from our 2022 four well exploration and appraisal campaign in Norway have been drilled and determined to be dry holes, increasing exploration expenses by approximately $76 million including the Slagugle appraisal well, which is in an area we are continuing to evaluate.

The Asia Pacific segment has operations in China, Malaysia, Australia and commercial operations in Singapore and Japan. As of June 30, 2022, Asia Pacific contributed five percent of our consolidated liquids production and eight percent of our consolidated natural gas production.

Net Income

Earnings from Asia Pacific increased $350 million and $1,169 million in the three- and six-month periods of 2022, respectively. Increases to earnings include:

•Higher equity in earnings of affiliates reflecting higher LNG sales prices as well as our increased interest in APLNG.

•Higher realized crude oil prices.

•Lower DD&A expenses associated with lower production volumes due to the divestiture of our Indonesia assets and lower rates from positive price-related reserve revisions.

Offsets to the earnings increase include:

•Lower sales volumes primarily due to the divestiture of our Indonesia assets.

•Higher taxes other than income taxes primarily due to higher realized crude oil prices.

In addition to the items detailed above, in the six-month period of 2022, earnings impacts include:

•Increase due to an after-tax gain of $534 million associated with the divestiture of our Indonesia assets. See Note 3.

•Decrease due to absence of an after-tax gain of $200 million recognized in the first quarter of 2021 related to a contingent payment from our Australia-West divestiture in 2020. See Note 9.

Consolidated Production

Average consolidated production decreased 63 MBOED and 42 MBOED in the three- and six-month periods of 2022, respectively. Decreases to production include:

•Divestiture of our Indonesia assets in the first quarter of 2022.

•Normal field decline.

•Decrease in crude oil entitlement percentage and PSC adjustments in Malaysia.

Offsets to the production decreases includes Bohai Bay development activity in China.

Asset Acquisitions and Dispositions

In the first quarter of 2022, we completed the acquisition of an additional 10 percent interest in APLNG increasing our ownership to 47.5 percent. Also in the first quarter, we completed the divestiture of our subsidiaries that held our Indonesia assets and operations. Production from the disposed assets averaged approximately 33 MBOED in the

three-months ended March 31, 2022. See Note 3.

Net interest expense consists of interest and financing expense, net of interest income and capitalized interest. Net interest expense improved by $17 million and $69 million in the three- and six-month periods of 2022, respectively, primarily as a result of our debt reduction transactions. Improvement in the six-month period also includes the absence of a prior year tax adjustment.

Corporate G&A expenses include compensation programs and staff costs. These expenses decreased by $49 million and $99 million in the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, respectively, due to mark to market adjustments associated with certain compensation programs. Additionally, in the six-month period of 2022 Corporate G&A expenses decreased due to the absence of restructuring expenses associated with our 2021 acquisition of Concho Resources Inc.

Technology includes our investment in new technologies or businesses, as well as licensing revenues. Activities are focused on both conventional and tight oil reservoirs, shale gas, heavy oil, oil sands, enhanced oil recovery, as well as LNG. See Note 16.

Other income (expense) or “Other” includes certain corporate tax-related items, foreign currency transaction gains and losses, environmental costs associated with sites no longer in operation, other costs not directly associated with an operating segment, gains/losses on the early retirement of debt, holding gains or losses on equity securities, and pension settlement expense. In the second quarter of 2022, “Other” decreased $476 million primarily due to the absence of unrealized gains associated with our CVE common shares which were fully divested in the first quarter of 2022 and premiums paid to repurchase debt. For the six-month period of 2022, "Other" increased $72 million. In addition to the items mentioned previously, during the first quarter of 2022, the IRS closed the 2017 audit of our U.S. federal income tax return, resulting in $474 million federal tax benefit. Also in the first quarter, we recognized an after-tax gain of $62 million associated with the debt restructuring transactions, partly offset by a $101 million tax impact associated with the disposition of our Indonesia assets. See Note 5 for information on our CVE common shares, Note 18 for information about the tax benefit, Note 6 for information regarding debt and Note 3 for information on our Indonesia divestiture.

*Capital includes total debt and total equity.

To meet our short- and long-term liquidity requirements, we look to a variety of funding sources, including cash generated from operating activities, our commercial paper and credit facility programs, and our ability to sell securities using our shelf registration statement. During the first six months of 2022, the primary uses of our available cash were

$5.1 billion to support our ongoing capital expenditures and investments program, $3.7 billion to repurchase common stock, $2.9 billion net to reduce debt as part of refinancing transactions and retirements, $1.9 billion to pay dividends, including the ordinary dividend and a VROC, and $1.1 billion net purchases of investments.

At June 30, 2022, we had total liquidity of $13.7 billion, including cash and cash equivalents of $6.9 billion, short-term investments of $1.3 billion, and available borrowing capacity under our credit facility of $5.5 billion. We believe current cash balances and cash generated by operating activities, together with access to external sources of funds as described below in the “Significant Changes in Capital” section, will be sufficient to meet our funding requirements in the near- and long-term, including our capital spending program, acquisitions, dividend payments and debt obligations.

Significant Changes in Capital

Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities was $13.0 billion for the first six months of 2022, compared with $6.3 billion for the corresponding period of 2021. The increase in cash provided by operating activities is primarily due to higher realized commodity prices, higher sales volumes mostly due to our acquisition of Shell Permian assets, and the absence of the 2021 settlement of all oil and gas hedging positions acquired from Concho. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was partly offset by the timing of Libya tax and royalty payments occurring in the first quarter of 2022 as well as U.S. tax payments in the second quarter.

Our short- and long-term operating cash flows are highly dependent upon prices for crude oil, bitumen, natural gas, LNG and NGLs. Prices and margins in our industry have historically been volatile and are driven by market conditions over which we have no control. Absent other mitigating factors, as these prices and margins fluctuate, we would expect a corresponding change in our operating cash flows.

The level of production volumes, as well as product and location mix, impacts our cash flows. Future production is subject to numerous uncertainties, including, among others, the volatile crude oil and natural gas price environment, which may impact investment decisions; the effects of price changes on production sharing and variable-royalty contracts; acquisition and disposition of fields; field production decline rates; new technologies; operating efficiencies; timing of startups and major turnarounds; political instability; impacts of a global pandemic; weather-related disruptions; and the addition of proved reserves through exploratory success and their timely and cost-effective development. While we actively manage for these factors, production levels can cause variability in cash flows, although generally this variability has not been as significant as that caused by commodity prices.

To maintain or grow our production volumes, we must continue to add to our proved reserve base. See the “Capital Expenditures and Investments” section.


			ConocoPhillips 2022 Q2 10-Q			46


Capital Resources and Liquidity			Table of Contents

Investing Activities

For the first six months of 2022, we invested $5.1 billion in capital expenditures and investments; $1.4 billion of which was acquisition capital for the additional 10 percent interest in APLNG, and the remainder funding our operating capital program. Our 2022 operating plan capital expenditures are currently expected to be $7.8 billion. This guidance excludes $1.4 billion of capital associated with increasing our APLNG interest. Our 2021 capital expenditures and investments were $5.3 billion. See the “Capital Expenditures and Investments” section.

In May 2021, we initiated the monetization of our investment in CVE common shares with the plan to direct proceeds toward our existing share repurchase program. We began disposing of our CVE shares in May 2021, and by the end of the first quarter, we fully divested of our investment, recognizing proceeds of $1.4 billion in the first quarter of 2022. Since inception, we have generated total proceeds of $2.5 billion. See Note 5. Other proceeds from dispositions received in the current year include our divestitures in Asia Pacific and Lower 48 segments for approximately $1.1 billion after customary adjustments and $362 million in contingent payments associated with prior divestitures. See Note 3.

In April 2022, we completed the sale of certain noncore assets in the Lower 48 segment for $370 million after customary adjustments. In July 2022, we entered into agreements to sell our interests in additional noncore assets in the Lower 48 segment for $265 million, before customary adjustments. These transactions are expected to close in the third quarter of 2022.

We invest in short-term investments as part of our cash investment strategy, the primary objective of which is to protect principal, maintain liquidity and provide yield and total returns; these investments include time deposits, commercial paper, as well as debt securities classified as available for sale. Funds for short-term needs to support our operating plan and provide resiliency to react to short-term price volatility are invested in highly liquid instruments with maturities within the year. Funds we consider available to maintain resiliency in longer term price downturns and to capture opportunities outside a given operating plan may be invested in instruments with maturities greater than one year.

Investing activities in the first six months of 2022 included net purchases of $1,104 million of investments. We had net purchases of $640 million of short-term instruments and $464 million of long-term instruments. See Note 13.

Financing Activities

In February 2022, we refinanced our revolving credit facility from a total aggregate principal amount of $6.0 billion to $5.5 billion with an expiration date of February 2027. The credit facility may be used for direct bank borrowings, the issuance of letters of credit totaling up to $500 million, or as support for our commercial paper program. With no commercial paper outstanding and no direct borrowings or letters of credit, we had access to $5.5 billion in available borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility at June 30, 2022.

Our debt balance at June 30, 2022, was $17.0 billion compared with $19.9 billion at December 31, 2021. The current portion of debt, including payments for finance leases, is $0.7 billion. Payments will be made using current cash balances and cash generated by operating activities. In the second quarter of 2022, we repurchased notes and retired floating rate debt and in the first quarter of 2022, we executed a debt refinancing comprised of concurrent transactions including new debt issuances, a cash tender offer and debt exchange offers. In aggregate, the transactions reduced the company's total debt by $3.0 billion. The refinancing facilitates our ability to achieve our previously announced $5 billion debt reduction target by the end of 2026 while also reducing the company's annual cash interest expense.

The current credit ratings on our long-term debt are:

•Fitch: “A” with a “stable” outlook

•S&P: “A-” with a “stable” outlook

•Moody’s: “A3” with a “positive” outlook

See Note 6 for additional information on debt, revolving credit facility and credit ratings.

Certain of our project-related contracts, commercial contracts and derivative instruments contain provisions requiring us to post collateral. Many of these contracts and instruments permit us to post either cash or letters of credit as collateral. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had direct bank letters of credit of $320 million and $337 million, respectively, which secured performance obligations related to various purchase commitments incident to the ordinary conduct of business. In the event of credit ratings downgrades, we may be required to post additional letters of credit.

Shelf Registration

We have a universal shelf registration statement on file with the SEC under which we have the ability to issue and sell an indeterminate number of various types of debt and equity securities.

Capital Requirements

For information about our capital expenditures and investments, see the “Capital Expenditures and Investments” section.

In 2021, as part of our objective to maintain a strong balance sheet, we announced our intention to reduce our total debt by $5 billion by 2026. In the first half of 2022, we executed concurrent debt refinancing transactions, repurchased existing notes, and retired floating rates notes upon natural maturity, that in aggregate reduced the company's total debt by

$3 billion and progressed the achievement of our debt reduction target while also lowering our annual cash interest expense and extending the weighted average maturity of our debt portfolio. See Note 6.

In December 2021, we announced our expected 2022 return of capital program and the initiation of a three-tier return of capital framework. The framework is structured to deliver a compelling, growing ordinary dividend and through-cycle share repurchases. In addition to the ordinary dividend and share repurchases, beginning in December 2021, the framework includes the addition of a discretionary VROC tier. The VROC will provide a flexible tool for meeting our commitment of returning greater than 30 percent of cash from operating activities during periods where commodity prices are meaningfully higher than our planning price range. Our expected 2022 total capital return is $15 billion, an increase of $5 billion from our previously announced target.

In the first six months of 2022, we paid ordinary dividends of $0.92 per common share. In addition, we paid VROC dividends of $0.50 per common share for dividends declared in the fourth quarter of 2021 and the first quarter of 2022. In the first six months of 2021, we paid ordinary dividends of $0.86 per common share. On August 4, 2022, we declared both a third-quarter ordinary dividend and a fourth-quarter VROC. The ordinary dividend is $0.46 per share payable September 1, 2022, to shareholders of record on August 16, 2022. The VROC is $1.40 per share, payable October 14, 2022 to shareholders of record on September 29, 2022

In late 2016, we initiated our current share repurchase program with Board of Director’s authorization of $25 billion of our common stock. As of June 30, 2022, share repurchases since the inception of our current program totaled 285 million shares and $17.9 billion. In the six months ended June 30, 2022, we repurchased 37.7 million shares for a cost of

$3.7 billion. Repurchases are made at management’s discretion, at prevailing prices, subject to market conditions and other factors.

See Part I—Item 1A—Risk Factors – “Our ability to execute our capital return program is subject to certain considerations” in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Our primary exposures for such matters relate to alleged royalty and tax underpayments on certain federal, state and privately owned properties, claims of alleged environmental contamination and damages from historic operations, and climate change. We will continue to defend ourselves vigorously in these matters.

Environmental

We are subject to the same numerous international, federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations as other companies in our industry. For a discussion of the most significant of these environmental laws and regulations, including those with associated remediation obligations, see the “Environmental” section in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations on pages 58–60 of our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

We occasionally receive requests for information or notices of potential liability from the EPA and state environmental agencies alleging that we are a potentially responsible party under the Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) or an equivalent state statute. On occasion, we also have been made a party to cost recovery litigation by those agencies or by private parties. These requests, notices and lawsuits assert potential liability for remediation costs at various sites that typically are not owned by us, but allegedly contain waste attributable to our past operations. As of June 30, 2022, there were 15 sites around the U.S. in which we were identified as a potentially responsible party under CERCLA and comparable state laws.

Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, and as with other companies engaged in similar businesses, environmental costs and liabilities are inherent concerns in our operations and products, and there can be no assurance that material costs and liabilities will not be incurred. However, we currently do not expect any material adverse effect upon our results of operations or financial position as a result of compliance with current environmental laws and regulations.

See Part I—Item 1A—Risk Factors – "We expect to continue to incur substantial capital expenditures and operating costs as a result of our compliance with existing and future environmental laws and regulations" in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Note 9 for information on environmental litigation.

Climate Change

Continuing political and social attention to the issue of global climate change has resulted in a broad range of proposed or promulgated state, national and international laws focusing on GHG reduction. These proposed or promulgated laws apply or could apply in countries where we have interests or may have interests in the future. Laws in this field continue to evolve, and while it is not possible to accurately estimate either a timetable for implementation or our future compliance costs relating to implementation, such laws, if enacted, could have a material impact on our results of operations and financial condition. For examples of legislation or precursors for possible regulation and factors on which the ultimate impact on our financial performance will depend, see the “Climate Change” section in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations on pages 61–63 of our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

See Part I—Item 1A—Risk Factors – "Existing and future laws, regulations and internal initiatives relating to global climate changes, such as limitations on GHG emissions may impact or limit our business plans, result in significant expenditures, promote alternative uses of energy or reduce demand for our products" in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Note 9 for information on climate change litigation.

Company Response to Climate-Related Risks

The company has responded by putting in place a Sustainable Development Risk Management Standard covering the assessment and registration of significant and high sustainable development risks based on their consequence and likelihood of occurrence. We have developed a company-wide Climate Change Action Plan with the goal of tracking mitigation activities for each climate-related risk included in the corporate Sustainable Development Risk Register.

The risks addressed in our Climate Change Action Plan fall into four broad categories:

•GHG-related legislation and regulation.

•GHG emissions management.

•Physical climate-related impacts.

•Climate-related disclosure and reporting.

We announced in October 2020 the adoption of a Paris-aligned climate risk framework with the objective of implementing a coherent set of choices designed to facilitate the success of our existing exploration and production business through the energy transition. Given the uncertainties remaining about how the energy transition will evolve, the strategy aims to be robust across a range of potential future outcomes.

We announced in July 2022 that ConocoPhillips has joined the OGMP 2.0 initiative. The initiative's mission is to improve industry transparency in methane emissions reporting and encourage progress in reducing those emissions. We believe that applying the rigorous OGMP 2.0 reporting standards across our global assets will be a vital step towards meeting our Paris-aligned climate-risk commitments, including our net-zero ambition for operational emissions by 2050, and will allow us to credibly demonstrate how we are delivering against our methane improvement objectives and targets.

In 2022, we published our Plan for the Net-Zero Energy Transition (the ‘Plan’) focusing on meeting energy transition pathway demand, delivering competitive returns on and of capital and achieving our net-zero operational emissions ambitions.

Our Plan describes how we will:

•Build a resilient asset portfolio: Focus on low cost of supply and low GHG intensity resources.

•Commit to near, medium, and long-term targets: Reducing operational (Scope 1 and 2) emissions over which we have ownership and control with an ambition to become a net-zero company for Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2050. These targets include:

•Strengthening our previously announced operational GHG emissions intensity reduction target to 40-50% by 2030 and expanding it to apply to both a gross operated and net equity basis.

•Meeting a further 10% reduction target for methane emissions intensity by 2025 from our 2019 baseline.

•Aiming to achieve zero routine flaring by 2025.

•Address end-use emissions: Advocate for a well-designed, economy-wide price on carbon that would help shift consumer demand from high-carbon to low-carbon energy sources.

•Pursue transition opportunities: Evaluate potential investments in emerging energy transition and low-carbon technologies.

•In 2021, we established a multi-disciplinary Low-Carbon Technologies organization to identify and evaluate business opportunities that address end-use emissions and early-stage low-carbon technology opportunities that would leverage our existing expertise and adjacencies.

•In the 2022 capital budget, we allocated $200 million to advance energy transition activities, the majority of which will address Scope 1 and 2 emissions reduction projects across our global operations, with the rest allocated for early-stage low-carbon technology opportunities.

•Track the energy transition: Utilize a comprehensive scenario planning process to calibrate and understand alternative energy transition pathways.

•Maintain capital discipline: Use scenario analyses and a fully-burdened cost of supply, including an appropriate cost of carbon, as the primary basis for capital allocation.
