| |
| Description of the Matter | At December 31, 2023, the net book value of the Company’s proved oil and gas properties, plants and equipment (PP&E) was $62 billion, and depreciation, depletion and amortization (DD&A) expense was $8.1 billion for the year then ended. As described in Note 1, under the successful efforts method of accounting, DD&A of PP&E on producing hydrocarbon properties and steam-assisted gravity drainage facilities and certain pipeline and liquified natural gas assets (those which are expected to have a declining utilization pattern) are determined by the unit-of-production method. The unit-of-production method uses proved oil and gas reserves, as estimated by the Company’s internal reservoir engineers.
Proved oil and gas reserves estimates are based on geological and engineering assessments of in-place hydrocarbon volumes, the production plan, historical extraction recovery and processing yield factors, installed plant operating capacity and approved operating limits. Significant judgment is required by the Company’s internal reservoir engineers in evaluating the data used to estimate proved oil and gas reserves. Estimating proved oil and gas reserves also requires the selection of inputs, including historical production, oil and gas price assumptions and future operating and capital costs assumptions, among others.
Auditing the Company’s DD&A calculation is complex because of the use of the work of the internal reservoir engineers and the evaluation of management’s determination of the inputs described above used by the internal reservoir engineers in estimating proved oil and gas reserves.
|
| |
| How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit | We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls over its processes to calculate DD&A, including management’s controls over the completeness and accuracy of the financial data provided to the internal reservoir engineers for use in estimating proved oil and gas reserves.
Our audit procedures included, among others, evaluating the professional qualifications and objectivity of the Company’s internal reservoir engineers primarily responsible for overseeing the preparation of the proved oil and gas reserves estimates. In addition, in assessing whether we can use the work of the internal reservoir engineers, we evaluated the completeness and accuracy of the financial data and inputs described above used by the internal reservoir engineers in estimating proved oil and gas reserves by agreeing them to source documentation and we identified and evaluated corroborative and contrary evidence. We also tested the accuracy of the DD&A calculation, including comparing the proved oil and gas reserves amounts used in the calculation to the Company’s reserve report.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm |
To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of ConocoPhillips
Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited ConocoPhillips’ internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control–Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). In our opinion, ConocoPhillips (the Company) maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on the COSO criteria.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the related consolidated income statement, statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes and our report dated February 15, 2024 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included under the heading “Assessment of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting” in the accompanying “Reports of Management.” Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

| | Contingent consideration | | |
| Total consideration | $ | | |
The contingent payment arrangement requires additional consideration to be paid to TotalEnergies EP Canada Ltd. up to $ billion CAD over a term. The contingent payments represent $ million for every dollar that WCS pricing exceeds $ per barrel during the month, subject to certain production targets being achieved. The range of the undiscounted amounts we could pay under this arrangement is between $ and $ billion. The fair value of the contingent consideration on the acquisition date was $ million and estimated by applying the income approach. See Note 13.
The transaction is 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 participants and internally generated price assumptions, production profiles and operating and development cost assumptions. The fair values of other assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which included accounts receivable, accounts payable, and most other current assets and current liabilities, were determined to be equivalent to the carrying value due to their short-term nature. The total consideration of $ billion was allocated to the identifiable assets and liabilities based on their fair values as of the acquisition date, October 4, 2023.

The unaudited supplemental pro forma financial information is presented for illustration purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the operating results that would have occurred had the transactions been completed on January 1, 2022, nor is it necessarily indicative of future operating results of the combined entity. The unaudited pro forma financial information for the years ending December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, is a result of combining the consolidated income statement of ConocoPhillips with the assets acquired from TotalEnergies EP Canada Ltd. 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 which relate 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.

*Classified as a current liability on the balance sheet under “Other accruals.”
Asset Retirement Obligations
We record the fair value of a liability for an ARO when it is incurred (typically when the asset is installed at the production location). When the liability is initially recorded, we capitalize the associated asset retirement cost by increasing the carrying amount of the related PP&E. Over time, the liability increases for the change in its present value, while the capitalized cost depreciates over the useful life of the related asset. If in subsequent periods, our estimate of this liability changes, we will record an adjustment to both the liability and PP&E. Reductions to estimated liabilities for assets that are no longer producing are recorded as a credit to impairment.
We have numerous AROs we are required to perform under law or contract once an asset is permanently taken out of service. Most of these obligations are not expected to be paid until several years, or decades, in the future and will be funded from general company resources at the time of removal. Our largest individual obligations involve plugging and abandonment of wells and removal and disposal of offshore oil and gas platforms around the world, as well as oil and gas production facilities and pipelines in Alaska.

Accrued Environmental Costs
Total accrued environmental costs at December 31, 2023 and 2022, were $ million and $ million, respectively.
We had accrued environmental costs of $ million and $ million at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, related to remediation activities in the U.S. and Canada. We had also accrued in Corporate and Other $ million and $ million of environmental costs associated with sites no longer in operation at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. In addition, December 31, 2023 and 2022, included a $ million and $ million accrual, respectively, where the company has been named a potentially responsible party under the Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, or similar state laws. Accrued environmental liabilities are expected to be paid over periods extending up to years.
Expected expenditures for environmental obligations acquired in various business combinations are discounted using a weighted-average percent discount factor, resulting in an accrued balance for acquired environmental liabilities of $ million at December 31, 2023. The total expected future undiscounted payments related to the portion of the accrued environmental costs that have been discounted are $ million.

2023
In December 2023, the company retired $ million principal amount of our percent Notes at maturity. In the third quarter of 2023, we issued $ billion in new Notes through our universal shelf registration statement and prospectus supplement. The net proceeds were used to fund the acquisition of the remaining percent working interest in Surmont which closed in October 2023. See Note 3. The following Notes were issued: •% Notes due 2033 with principal of $ billion
•% Notes due 2054 with principal of $ billion
•% Notes due 2063 with principal of $ billion
In the second quarter of 2023, as described further below, we initiated and completed two concurrent transactions as part of our debt refinancing strategy. We issued $ billion in new Notes through our universal shelf registration statement and prospectus supplement and used the proceeds to repurchase $ billion of existing debt.
Debt Issuance
On May 23, 2023, we issued % Notes due 2053 with principal of $ billion.
Tender Offers
On May 25, 2023, we repurchased a total of $ million aggregate principal amount of debt as listed below. We paid $ million below face value to repurchase these debt instruments and recognized a gain on debt extinguishment of $ million, which is included in the "Other expenses" line on our consolidated income statement.
•% Notes due 2024 with principal of $ million (partial repurchase of $ million)
•% Notes due 2024 with principal of $ million (partial repurchase of $ million)
•% Notes due 2025 with principal of $ million (partial repurchase of $ million)
2022
In December 2022, the company retired $ million principal amount of our percent Notes at maturity. In May 2022, we redeemed $ million principal amount of our percent Notes due 2026. We paid premiums above face value of $ million to redeem the debt and recognized a loss on debt extinguishment of $ million which is included in the "Other expenses" line on our consolidated income statement. We also paid $ 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 $ million aggregate principal amount of debt as listed below. We paid premiums above face value of $ million to repurchase these debt instruments and recognized a gain on debt extinguishment of $ million, which is included in the "Other expenses" line on our consolidated income statement.
•% Notes due 2027 with principal of $ million (partial repurchase of $ million)
•% Notes due 2028 with principal of $ million (partial repurchase of $ million)

•% Notes due 2047 with principal of $ million (partial repurchase of $ million)
•% Notes due 2048 with principal of $ million (partial repurchase of $ million)
Exchange Offers
Also in March 2022, we completed concurrent debt exchange offers through which $ 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 $ million, comprised of $ million of cash as well as new notes, which were capitalized as additional debt discount. We incurred expenses of $ million in the exchanges, which are included in the "Other expenses" line on our consolidated income statement.

Revolving Credit Facility and Credit Rating Information
In 2022, we refinanced our revolving credit facility from a total borrowing capacity of $ billion down to $ 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 $ 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 $ 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.
Credit facility borrowings may bear interest at a margin above the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR). 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 $ 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 direct borrowings or letters of credit, we had access to $ billion in available borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility at December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
For information on Finance Leases, see Note 15. 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: "A2" with a "stable" 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 both December 31, 2023 and 2022, we had $ 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.

percent ownership interest in APLNG. The following is a description of the guarantees with values calculated utilizing December 2023 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 to be . Our maximum exposure under this guarantee is approximately $ million and may become payable if an enforcement action is commenced by the project finance lenders against APLNG. At December 31, 2023, the carrying value of this guarantee was approximately $ 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 $ million ($ 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-venturers 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 to years or the life of the venture. Our maximum potential amount of future payments related to these guarantees is approximately $ million and would become payable if APLNG does not perform. At December 31, 2023, the carrying value of these guarantees was approximately $ million.
QatarEnergy LNG Limited Guarantee
We have guaranteed our portion of certain fiscal and other joint venture obligations as a shareholder in NFE4 and NFS3. This guarantee has an approximate -year term with no maximum limit. At December 31, 2023, the carrying value of this guarantee was approximately $ million.
Other Guarantees
We have other guarantees with maximum future potential payment amounts totaling approximately $ million, which consist primarily of guarantees of the residual value of leased office buildings and guarantees of the residual value of corporate aircraft. These guarantees have remaining terms of two to 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 December 31, 2023, there was carrying value associated with these guarantees.
Indemnifications
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.

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 $ 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 $ million. The award now stands at $ 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. The annulment proceedings are underway.
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 $ 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 $ million within a period of 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 $ 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 $ 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.

of the lawsuits and will vigorously defend against them. On October 17, 2022, the Fifth Circuit affirmed remand of the lead case to state court and the subsequent request for rehearing was denied. Accordingly, the federal district courts have issued remands to state court. 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 percent interest in this lease and operated these facilities, but sold its interest approximately years ago. ConocoPhillips 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 $ million bonus due upon final investment decision of the Barossa development project under the sale and purchase agreement for the sale of our Australia-West asset and operations. The matter was resolved in April 2023 to our satisfaction.
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. The defendants filed a motion to dismiss the consolidated complaint on March 8, 2022. On June 23, 2023, the court denied defendants’ motion as to most defendants including Concho/ConocoPhillips. We believe the allegations in the action are without merit and are vigorously defending this litigation.
ConocoPhillips is involved in pending disputes with commercial counterparties relating to the propriety of its force majeure notices following Winter Storm Uri in 2021. We believe these claims are without merit and are vigorously defending them.
Long-Term Unconditional Purchase Obligations and Commitments, Including Throughput and Take-or-Pay Agreements
We have certain throughput agreements and take-or-pay agreements in support of financing arrangements. The agreements typically provide for natural gas or crude oil transportation and LNG purchase commitments. The fixed and determinable portion of the remaining estimated payments under these various agreements as of December 31, 2023 are: 2024—$ million; 2025—$ million; 2026—$ million; 2027—$ million; 2028—$ million; and 2029 and after—$ billion. Generally, variable components of these obligations include commodity futures prices and inflation rates. Purchases of LNG under these commitments are expected to be offset in the same or approximately same periods by cash received from the related sales transactions. Total payments under the agreements were $ million in 2023, $ million in 2022 and $ million in 2021.

On January 15, 2021, we assumed financial derivative instruments consisting of oil and natural gas swaps in connection with the acquisition of Concho. At the acquisition date, these financial derivative instruments acquired were recognized at fair value as a net liability of $ million with settlement dates under the contracts through December 31, 2022. During 2021, we recognized a loss on settlement of these derivatives contracts of $ million. This loss is recorded within the “Sales and other operating revenues” line on our consolidated income statement. In connection with the settlement, we issued a cash payment of $ million during 2021 which is included within “Cash Flows From Operating Activities” on our consolidated statement of cash flows.

percent of the projected term loans outstanding to finance the cost of development and construction of Phase 1 from floating to fixed rate. These swaps were designated and qualify for hedge accounting under ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” as a cash flow hedge with changes in the fair value of the designated hedging instruments reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same periods that the hedged transactions will affect earnings. We recognize our proportionate share of PALNG’s adjustments for other comprehensive income as a change to our equity method investment with corresponding adjustments in equity. For the year ended December 31, 2023, we recognized an unrealized gain of $ million in other comprehensive income related to these swaps.

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 on December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, was $ million and $ million, respectively. For these instruments, collateral was posted as of December 31, 2023 and $ million collateral was posted as of December 31, 2022. If our credit rating had been downgraded below investment grade on December 31, 2023, we would have been required to post $ million of additional collateral, either with cash or letters of credit.

percent working interest in Surmont. Contingent consideration consists of payments up to approximately $ billion CAD over a term ending in the fourth quarter of 2028. The contingent payments represent $ million for every dollar that the monthly WCS average pricing exceeds $ per barrel. The terms include adjustments related to not achieving certain production targets. The fair value of the contingent consideration as of December 31, 2023 is calculated using the income approach and is largely based on the estimated commodity price outlook using a combination of external pricing service companies' and our internal price outlook (unobservable input) and a discount rate consistent with those used by principal market participants (observable input). Impact of other unobservable inputs on the fair value as of December 31, 2023 was not significant. | | | | | |

Equity Method Investments
During 2021, Origin Energy Limited agreed to the sale of percent of their interest in APLNG for $ billion, before customary adjustments. ConocoPhillips announced in December 2021 that we were exercising our preemption right under the APLNG Shareholders Agreement to purchase an additional percent shareholding interest in APLNG, subject to government approvals. The sales price associated with this preemption right was determined to reflect a relevant observable market participant view of APLNG’s fair value which was below the carrying value of our existing investment in APLNG. As such, our investment in APLNG was written down to its fair value of $ million, resulting in a before-tax charge of $ million. See Note 4 and Note 7.
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.
•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 12. •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.

For both U.S. and international pension plans, the overall expected long-term rate of return is developed from the expected future return of each asset class, weighted by the expected allocation of pension assets to that asset class. We rely on a variety of independent market forecasts in developing the expected rate of return for each class of assets.
During 2023, the actuarial losses related to the benefit obligations for U.S. and international plans were primarily related to a decrease in the discount rates. During 2022 and 2021, the actuarial gains related to the benefit obligations for U.S. and international plans were primarily related to an increase in the discount rates.

million in 2023, $ million in 2022, and $ million in 2021 as lump-sum benefit payments from certain U.S. and international pension plans exceeded the sum of service and interest costs for those plans and led to recognition of settlement losses.In determining net pension and other postretirement benefit costs, we amortize prior service costs on a straight-line basis over the average remaining service period of employees expected to receive benefits under the plan. For net actuarial gains and losses, we amortize percent of the unamortized balance each year.
We have multiple non-pension postretirement benefit plans for health and life insurance. The health care plans are contributory and subject to various cost sharing features, most with participant and company contributions adjusted annually; the life insurance plans are noncontributory. The measurement of the U.S. pre-65 retiree medical accumulated postretirement benefit obligation assumes a health care cost trend rate of percent in 2024 that declines to percent by 2031. The measurement of the U.S. post-65 retiree medical accumulated postretirement benefit obligation assumes a health care cost trend rate of percent in 2024 that increases to percent by 2030.
Plan Assets
We follow a policy of broadly diversifying pension plan assets across asset classes and individual holdings. As a result, our plan assets have no significant concentrations of credit risk. Asset classes that are considered appropriate include U.S. equities, non-U.S. equities, U.S. fixed income, non-U.S. fixed income, real estate and private equity investments. Plan fiduciaries may consider and add other asset classes to the investment program from time to time. The target allocations for plan assets, aggregated across U.S. and international plans, are percent equity securities, percent debt securities, and percent real estate. Generally, the plan investments are publicly traded, therefore minimizing liquidity risk in the portfolio.
The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for the pension plan assets. There have been no changes in the methodologies used at December 31, 2023 and 2022.
•Fair values of equity securities and government debt securities categorized in Level 1 are primarily based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
•Fair values of corporate debt securities, agency and mortgage-backed securities and government debt securities categorized in Level 2 are estimated using recently executed transactions and quoted market prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active. If there have been no market transactions in a particular fixed income security, its fair value is calculated by pricing models that benchmark the security against other securities with actual market prices. When observable quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based on pricing models that use something other than actual market prices (e.g., observable inputs such as benchmark yields, reported trades and issuer spreads for similar securities), and these securities are categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
•Fair values of investments in common/collective trusts are determined by the issuer of each fund based on the fair value of the underlying assets.
•Fair values of mutual funds are based on quoted market prices, which represent the net asset value of shares held.
•Time deposits are valued at cost, which approximates fair value.
•Cash is valued at cost, which approximates fair value. Fair values of international cash equivalents categorized in Level 2 are valued using observable yield curves, discounting and interest rates. U.S. cash balances held in the form of short-term fund units that are redeemable at the measurement date are categorized as Level 2.
•Fair values of exchange-traded derivatives classified in Level 1 are based on quoted market prices. For other derivatives classified in Level 2, the values are generally calculated from pricing models with market input parameters from third-party sources.
•Fair values of insurance contracts are valued at the present value of the future benefit payments owed by the insurance company to the plans’ participants.
•Fair values of real estate investments are valued using real estate valuation techniques and other methods that include reference to third-party sources and sales comparables where available.

Defined Contribution Plans
Most U.S. employees are eligible to participate in the ConocoPhillips Savings Plan (CPSP). Employees can contribute up to percent of their eligible pay, subject to statutory limits, in the CPSP to a choice of investment options. Employees who participate in the CPSP and contribute percent of their eligible pay receive a percent company cash match with a potential company discretionary cash contribution of up to percent. Effective January 1, 2019, new employees, rehires and employees that elected to opt out of Title II of the ConocoPhillips Retirement Plan are eligible to receive a Company Retirement Contribution (CRC) of percent of eligible pay into their CPSP. After of service with the company, the employee is percent vested in any CRC. Company contributions charged to expense for the CPSP and predecessor plans were $ million in 2023, $ million in 2022 and $ million in 2021.
We have several defined contribution plans for our international employees, each with its own terms and eligibility depending on location. Total compensation expense recognized for these international plans was approximately $ million in 2023, $ million in 2022 and $ million in 2021.
Share-Based Compensation Plans
The 2023 Omnibus Stock and Performance Incentive Plan of ConocoPhillips (Omnibus Plan) was approved by shareholders in May 2023, replacing similar prior plans and providing that no new awards shall be granted under the prior plans. Over its life, the Omnibus Plan allows the issuance of up to million shares of our common stock for compensation to our employees and directors, but the available shares (i) are reduced by awards granted under the prior plan between the board adoption date (February 15, 2023) and the shareholder approval date (May 16, 2023) and (ii) are increased by any shares of common stock represented by awards granted under the Omnibus Plan or the prior plans that are forfeited, expire or are cancelled without delivery of shares of common stock or which result in the forfeiture of shares of common stock back to the company, excluding shares surrendered in payment of the exercise of a stock option or stock appreciation right, shares not issued in connection with the stock settlement of a stock appreciation right, or shares reacquired by the company using cash proceeds from the exercise of a stock option. The Human Resources and Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors is authorized to determine the types, terms, conditions and limitations of awards granted. Awards may be granted in the form of, but not limited to, stock options, restricted stock units and performance share units to employees and non-employee directors who contribute to the company’s continued success and profitability.

after the grant date (generally the minimum period of time required for an award to not be subject to forfeiture). Other than certain retention awards, our share-based compensation programs generally provide accelerated vesting (i.e., a waiver of the remaining period of service required to earn an award) for awards held by employees at the time of their retirement. Some of our share-based awards vest ratably (i.e., portions of the award vest at different times) while some of our awards cliff vest (i.e., all of the award vests at the same time). We recognize expense on a straight-line basis over the service period for the entire award, whether the award was granted with ratable or cliff vesting. | | | | | | Tax benefit | | | | | | |
Stock Options—Stock options granted under the provisions of the Omnibus Plan and prior plans permit purchase of our common stock at exercise prices equivalent to the average fair market value of ConocoPhillips common stock on the date the options were granted. The options have terms of years and generally vest ratably, with one-third of the options awarded vesting and becoming exercisable on each anniversary date following the date of grant. Options awarded to certain employees already eligible for retirement vest within of the grant date, but those options do not become exercisable until the end of the normal vesting period. Beginning in 2018, stock option grants were discontinued and replaced with , time-vested restricted stock units which generally were cash-settled for 2018 and 2019 awards and will be stock-settled beginning with 2020 awards.

During 2023, we received $ million in cash and realized a tax benefit of $ million from the exercise of options. At December 31, 2023, all outstanding stock options were fully vested and there was no remaining compensation cost to be recorded.
Stock Unit Programs—Restricted stock units (RSU) granted annually under the provisions of the Omnibus Plan and the general and executive RSU programs vest in installment on the third anniversary of the grant date. RSUs granted under the Omnibus Plan for a variable long-term incentive retention program vest ratably in equal annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date. Restricted stock units are also granted ad hoc to attract or retain key personnel, and the terms and conditions under which these restricted stock units vest vary by award.

from the grant date; however, those units are not settled through the issuance of common stock until the earlier of separation from the company or the end of the regularly scheduled vesting period. Until issued as stock, most recipients of the RSUs receive a cash payment of a dividend equivalent or an accrued reinvested dividend equivalent that is charged to retained earnings. The grant date fair market value of these RSUs is deemed equal to the average ConocoPhillips stock price on the grant date. The grant date fair market value of RSUs that do not receive a dividend equivalent while unvested is deemed equal to the average ConocoPhillips stock price on the grant date, less the net present value of the estimated dividends that will not be received. | | $ | | | | | | Granted | | | | | | | |

Cash-Settled
Cash-settled executive RSUs granted in 2018 and 2019 replaced the stock option program. These RSUs, subject to elections to defer, were settled in cash equal to the fair market value of a share of ConocoPhillips common stock per unit on the settlement date and are classified as liabilities on the balance sheet. Executive RSUs awarded to retirement eligible employees vest from the grant date; however, those units were not settled until the earlier of separation from the company or the end of the regularly scheduled vesting period. Compensation expense was initially measured using the average fair market value of ConocoPhillips common stock and was subsequently adjusted, based on changes in the ConocoPhillips stock price through the end of each subsequent reporting period, through the settlement date. Recipients received an accrued reinvested dividend equivalent that was charged to compensation expense. The accrued reinvested dividend was paid at the time of settlement, subject to the terms and conditions of the award. Beginning with executive RSUs granted in 2020, awards will be settled in stock.
There was no cash-settled stock unit activity and no remaining unrecognized compensation cost to be recorded for the unvested cash-settled units for the year ended December 31, 2023. The total fair value of cash-settled executive RSUs issued during 2022 and 2021 were $ million and $ million, respectively.
Performance Share Program—Under the Omnibus Plan, we also annually grant restricted performance share units (PSUs) to senior management. These PSUs are authorized prior to their effective grant date (the performance period). Compensation expense is initially measured using the average fair market value of ConocoPhillips common stock and is subsequently adjusted, based on changes in the ConocoPhillips stock price through the end of each subsequent reporting period, through the grant date for stock-settled awards and the settlement date for cash-settled awards.

of service, and restrictions do not lapse until the employee separates from the company. With respect to awards for performance periods beginning in 2009 through 2012, PSUs do not vest until the earlier of the date the employee becomes eligible for retirement by reaching age 55 with of service or after the grant date of the award, and restrictions do not lapse until the earlier of the employee’s separation from the company or after the grant date (although recipients can elect to defer the lapsing of restrictions until separation). We recognize compensation expense for these awards beginning on the grant date and ending on the date the PSUs are scheduled to vest. Because these awards are authorized prior to the effective grant date, for employees eligible for retirement by or shortly after the grant date, we recognize compensation expense over the period beginning on the date of authorization and ending on the date of grant. Until issued as stock, recipients of the stock-settled PSUs issued prior to 2013 receive a cash payment of a dividend equivalent that is charged to retained earnings. Beginning in 2013, stock-settled PSUs authorized for future grants will vest, absent employee election to defer, upon settlement following the conclusion of the performance period. We recognize compensation expense over the period beginning on the date of authorization and ending on the conclusion of the performance period. Until issued as stock, recipients of these PSUs receive an accrued reinvested dividend equivalent that is charged to compensation expense.

The total fair value of stock-settled PSUs issued during 2022 and 2021 were $ million and $ million, respectively.
Cash-Settled
In connection with and immediately following the separation of our Downstream businesses in 2012, grants of new cash-settled PSUs, subject to a shortened performance period, were authorized. Once granted, these PSUs vest, absent employee election to defer, on the earlier of after the grant date of the award or the date the employee becomes eligible for retirement. For employees eligible for retirement by or shortly after the grant date, we recognize compensation expense over the period beginning on the date of authorization and ending on the date of grant. Otherwise, we recognize compensation expense beginning on the grant date and ending on the date the PSUs are scheduled to vest. These PSUs are settled in cash equal to the fair market value of a share of ConocoPhillips common stock per unit on the settlement date and thus are classified as liabilities on the balance sheet. Until settlement occurs, recipients of the PSUs receive a cash payment of a dividend equivalent that is charged to compensation expense.
Beginning in 2013, cash-settled PSUs authorized for future grants will vest upon settlement following the conclusion of the performance period. We recognize compensation expense over the period beginning on the date of authorization and ending at the conclusion of the performance period. These PSUs will be settled in cash equal to the fair market value of a share of ConocoPhillips common stock per unit on the settlement date and are classified as liabilities on the balance sheet. For performance periods beginning before 2018, during the performance period, recipients of the PSUs do not receive a cash payment of a dividend equivalent, but after the performance period ends, until settlement in cash occurs, recipients of the PSUs receive a cash payment of a dividend equivalent that is charged to compensation expense. For the performance periods beginning in 2018 or later, recipients of the PSUs receive an accrued reinvested dividend equivalent that is charged to compensation expense. The accrued reinvested dividend is paid at the time of settlement, subject to the terms and conditions of the award.

Beginning in February 2014, initial target PSU awards are issued near the beginning of new performance periods. These initial target PSU awards will terminate at the end of the performance periods and will be settled after the performance periods have ended. Also in 2014, initial target PSU awards were issued for open performance periods that began in prior years. For the open performance period beginning in 2012, the initial target PSU awards terminated at the end of the performance period and were replaced with approved PSU awards. For the open performance period beginning in 2013, the initial target PSU awards terminated at the end of the performance period and were settled after the performance period ended. There is no effect on recognition of compensation expense.
Other—In addition to the above active programs, we have outstanding shares of restricted stock and restricted stock units that were either issued as part of our non-employee director compensation program for current and former members of the company’s Board of Directors or as part of an executive compensation program that has been discontinued or acquired as a result of an acquisition. Generally, the recipients of the restricted shares or units receive a dividend or dividend equivalent.

*Represents changes due to originating deferred tax assets that have no impact to our effective tax rate, acquisitions/dispositions/revisions and the effect of translating foreign financial statements.
Valuation allowances have been established to reduce deferred tax assets to an amount that will, more likely than not, be realized. At December 31, 2023, we have maintained a valuation allowance with respect to substantially all U.S. foreign tax credit carryforwards, basis differences in our APLNG investment, and certain net operating loss carryforwards for various jurisdictions. During 2022, the valuation allowance movement charged to earnings primarily relates to the impact of 2022 changes to Norway’s Petroleum Tax System which is partly offset by the U.S. tax impact of the disposition of our CVE common shares. Other movements are primarily related to valuation allowances on expiring tax attributes. Based on our historical taxable income, expectations for the future, and available tax-planning strategies, management expects deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowances, will primarily be realized as offsets to reversing deferred tax liabilities.
During the second quarter of 2022, Norway enacted changes to the Petroleum Tax System. As a result of the enactment, a valuation allowance of $ million was recorded during the second quarter to reflect changes to our ability to realize certain deferred tax assets under the new law.
During 2021, the valuation allowance movement charged to earnings primarily relates to the fair value measurement of our CVE common shares that are not expected to be realized, and the expected realization of certain U.S. tax attributes associated with our planned disposition of our Indonesia assets. This is partially offset by Australian tax benefits associated with our impairment of APLNG that we do not expect to be realized. Other movements are primarily related to valuation allowances on expiring tax attributes. For more information on our Indonesia disposition see Note 3. At December 31, 2023, unremitted income considered to be permanently reinvested in certain foreign subsidiaries and foreign corporate joint ventures totaled approximately $ million. Deferred income taxes have not been provided on this amount, as we do not plan to initiate any action that would require the payment of income taxes. The estimated amount of additional tax, primarily local withholding tax, that would be payable on this income if distributed is approximately $ million.

million as well as the closing of our 2018 Canadian domestic audit that resulted in a reduction of $ million.
The balance of the unrecognized tax benefits decreased in 2022 due to the closing of the 2017 audit of our federal income tax return. As a result, we recognized federal and state tax benefits totaling $ million relating to the recovery of outside tax basis previously offset by a full reserve. The balance of the unrecognized tax benefits increased in 2021 mainly due to U.S. tax credits acquired through our Concho acquisition. See Note 3 and Note 11. At December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, accrued liabilities for interest and penalties totaled $ million, $ million and $ million, respectively, net of accrued income taxes. Interest and penalties resulted in a reduction to earnings of $ million in 2023, an increase of $ million in 2022 and a reduction to earnings of $ million in 2021.
We file tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and in many foreign and state jurisdictions. Audits in major jurisdictions are generally complete as follows: Canada (2016), Norway (2022) and U.S. (2019). Issues in dispute for audited years and audits for subsequent years are ongoing and in various stages of completion in the many jurisdictions in which we operate around the world. Consequently, the balance in unrecognized tax benefits can be expected to fluctuate from period to period. Within the next twelve months, we may have audit periods close that could significantly impact our total unrecognized tax benefits. It is reasonably possible such changes could be significant when compared with our total unrecognized tax benefits, but the amount of change is not estimable.

Our effective tax rate for 2023 was driven by our jurisdictional tax rates for this profit mix with a favorable impact from routine tax credits. The adjustment to tax reserves primarily relates to the lapsing of the statute of limitations on certain of our foreign subsidiaries and the closing of the 2018 Canadian domestic audit.
Our effective tax rate for 2022 was driven by our jurisdictional tax rates for this profit mix with net favorable impacts from routine tax credits and valuation allowance adjustments. The adjustment to tax reserves primarily relates to the closing of the audit of our 2017 U.S. federal tax return and the recognition of the U.S. federal and state tax benefits described above.
Our effective tax rate for 2021 was driven by our jurisdictional tax rates for this profit mix with net favorable impacts from routine tax credits and valuation allowance adjustments. The valuation allowance adjustment is primarily related to the fair value measurement and disposition of our CVE common shares of $ million and the ability to utilize the U.S. foreign tax credit and capital loss carryforward due to our anticipated disposition of our Indonesia entities of $ million. This was partially offset by an increase to our valuation allowance related to the tax impact of the impairment of our APLNG investment of $ million for which we do not expect to receive a tax benefit.

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 with 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. Revenue recognized during the year ended December 31, 2023 was . We expect to recognize the outstanding contract liabilities of $ million as of December 31, 2023, as revenue during the years 2026, 2028 and 2029.

Oil and Gas Operations (Unaudited) |
In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 932, “Extractive Activities—Oil and Gas,” and regulations of the SEC, we are making certain supplemental disclosures about our oil and gas exploration and production operations.
These disclosures include information about our consolidated oil and gas activities and our proportionate share of our equity affiliates’ oil and gas activities in our operating segments. As a result, amounts reported as equity affiliates in Oil and Gas Operations may differ from those shown in the individual segment disclosures reported elsewhere in this report. Our disclosures by geographic area include the U.S., Canada, Europe, Asia Pacific/Middle East (inclusive of equity affiliates) and Africa.
As required by current authoritative guidelines, the estimated future date when an asset will be permanently shut down for economic reasons is based on historical 12-month first-of-month average prices and current costs. This estimated date when production will end affects the amount of estimated reserves. Therefore, as prices and cost levels change from year to year, the estimate of proved reserves also changes. Generally, our proved reserves decrease as prices decline and increase as prices rise.
Our proved reserves include estimated quantities related to PSCs, which are reported under the “economic interest” method, as well as variable-royalty regimes, and are subject to fluctuations in commodity prices, recoverable operating expenses and capital costs. If costs remain stable, reserve quantities attributable to recovery of costs will change inversely to changes in commodity prices. For example, if prices increase, then our applicable reserve quantities would decline. At December 31, 2023, approximately 3 percent of our total proved reserves were under PSCs, located in our Asia Pacific/Middle East geographic reporting area, and 7 percent of our total proved reserves were under a variable-royalty regime, located in our Canada geographic reporting area.
Reserves Governance
The recording and reporting of proved reserves are governed by criteria established by regulations of the SEC and FASB. Proved reserves are those quantities of oil and gas, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible—from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods, and government regulations—prior to the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of whether deterministic or probabilistic methods are used for the estimation. The project to extract the hydrocarbons must have commenced or the operator must be reasonably certain it will commence the project within a reasonable time.
Proved reserves are further classified as either developed or undeveloped. Proved developed reserves are proved reserves that can be expected to be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods, or in which the cost of the required equipment is relatively minor compared with the cost of a new well, and through installed extraction equipment and infrastructure operational at the time of the reserves estimate if the extraction is by means not involving a well. Proved undeveloped reserves are proved reserves expected to be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage, or from existing wells where a relatively major expenditure is required for recompletion. Reserves on undrilled acreage are limited to those directly offsetting development spacing areas that are reasonably certain of production when drilled, unless evidence provided by reliable technologies exists that establishes reasonable certainty of economic producibility at greater distances. As defined by SEC regulations, reliable technologies may be used in reserve estimation when they have been demonstrated in the field to provide reasonably certain results with consistency and repeatability in the formation being evaluated or in an analogous formation. The technologies and data used in the estimation of our proved reserves include, but are not limited to, performance-based methods, volumetric-based methods, geologic maps, seismic interpretation, well logs, well test data, core data, analogy and statistical analysis.

We have a company-wide, comprehensive, SEC-compliant internal policy that governs the determination and reporting of proved reserves. This policy is applied by the geoscientists and reservoir engineers in our business units around the world. As part of our internal control process, each business unit’s reserves processes and controls are reviewed annually by an internal team which is headed by the company’s Manager of Reserves Compliance and Reporting. This team, composed of internal reservoir engineers, geoscientists, finance personnel and a senior representative from DeGolyer and MacNaughton (D&M), a third-party petroleum engineering consulting firm, reviews the business unit's reserves for adherence to SEC guidelines and company policy through on-site visits, teleconferences and review of documentation. In addition to providing independent reviews, this internal team also ensures reserves are calculated using consistent and appropriate standards and procedures. This team is independent of business unit line management and is responsible for reporting its findings to senior management. The team is responsible for communicating our reserves policy and procedures and is available for internal peer reviews and consultation on major projects or technical issues throughout the year. All of our proved reserves held by consolidated companies and our share of equity affiliates have been estimated by ConocoPhillips.
During 2023, our processes and controls used to assess over 90 percent of proved reserves as of December 31, 2023, were reviewed by D&M. The purpose of their review was to assess whether the adequacy and effectiveness of our internal processes and controls used to determine estimates of proved reserves are in accordance with SEC regulations. In such review, ConocoPhillips’ technical staff presented D&M with an overview of the reserves data, as well as the methods and assumptions used in estimating reserves. The data presented included pertinent seismic information, geologic maps, well logs, production tests, material balance calculations, reservoir simulation models, well performance data, operating procedures and relevant economic criteria. Management’s intent in retaining D&M to review its processes and controls was to provide objective third-party input on these processes and controls. D&M’s opinion was the general processes and controls employed by ConocoPhillips in estimating its December 31, 2023 proved reserves for the properties reviewed are in accordance with the SEC reserves definitions. D&M’s report is included as Exhibit 99 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The technical person primarily responsible for overseeing the processes and internal controls used in the preparation of the company’s reserves estimates is the Manager of Reserves Compliance and Reporting. This individual holds a master’s degree in petroleum engineering. He is a member of the Society of Petroleum Engineers with over 30 years of oil and gas industry experience and has held positions of increasing responsibility in reservoir engineering, subsurface and asset management in the U.S. and several international field locations.
Engineering estimates of the quantities of proved reserves are inherently imprecise. See the “Critical Accounting Estimates” section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for additional discussion of the sensitivities surrounding these estimates.

Notable changes in proved crude oil reserves in the three years ended December 31, 2023, included:
•Revisions: In 2023, upward revisions in Lower 48 were due to development drilling of 161 million barrels and technical revisions in the unconventional plays of 31 million barrels, partially offset by downward revisions of 52 million barrels due to lower prices and 14 million barrels for changes in development plans. An upward revision of 10 million barrels in Africa was primarily development drilling in Libya. Upward revisions of 8 million barrels in the consolidated operations in Asia Pacific/Middle East were due to technical revisions. In Alaska, where future production is constrained by the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System minimum flow limit, updated total North Slope development phasing indicated that the flow limit will be reached earlier than previously premised, resulting in downward revisions of 25 million barrels. Further downward revisions in Alaska include development plan changes of 14 million barrels, cost escalation of 13 million barrels, and 7 million barrels due to lower prices, partially offset by 2 million barrels of technical revisions.
In 2022, upward revisions in Lower 48 were due to additional development drilling in the unconventional plays of 81 million barrels and higher prices of 33 million barrels, partially offset by increasing operating costs of 72 million barrels and technical revisions of 18 million barrels. Upward revisions in Europe were primarily due to technical revisions of 23 million barrels and 8 million barrels due to higher prices. Upward revisions of 19 million barrels in our consolidated operations in Asia Pacific/Middle East were primarily due to technical revisions.
In 2021, Alaska upward revisions were primarily driven by higher prices. Downward revisions in Lower 48 were due to development timing for specific well locations from unconventional plays of 203 million barrels and technical revisions of 35 million barrels, partially offset by upward revisions due to higher prices of 115 million barrels and additional infill drilling in the unconventional plays of 71 million barrels. Upward revisions in Europe were primarily due to higher prices. In Asia Pacific/Middle East, increases were due to higher prices of 21 million barrels and technical revisions of 16 million barrels.
•Purchases: In 2022, crude oil reserve purchases were primarily in Africa, as a result of the acquisition of additional interest in the Libya Waha Concession.
In 2021, Lower 48 purchases were due to the Concho and Shell Permian acquisitions.
•Extensions and discoveries: In 2023, extensions and discoveries in Alaska were driven primarily by the Willow and Nuna projects. Lower 48 extensions and discoveries were primarily within unconventional plays in the Permian Basin. Extensions and discoveries in Canada and Asia Pacific/Middle East were driven primarily by Montney and Bohai Phase 4B in China, respectively.
In 2022, extensions and discoveries in Lower 48 were primarily within unconventional plays in the Permian Basin. Extensions and discoveries in our equity affiliates were in the Middle East.
In 2021, extensions and discoveries in Lower 48 were due to planned development to add specific well locations from the unconventional plays which more than offset the decreases resulting from development plan timing in the revisions category.

Notable changes in proved NGL reserves in the three years ended December 31, 2023, included:
•Revisions: In 2023, upward revisions in Lower 48 were due to additional development drilling in the unconventional plays of 86 million barrels and technical revisions of 71 million barrels. This was partially offset by lower prices impacting 34 million barrels and development plan changes of 4 million barrels.
In 2022, upward revisions in Lower 48 were due to additional development drilling in the unconventional plays of 88 million barrels, technical revisions of 75 million barrels, continued conversion of acquired Concho Permian two-stream contracts to a three-stream (crude oil, natural gas and NGLs) basis adding 70 million barrels, and higher prices of 13 million barrels. This was partially offset by increasing operating costs of 38 million barrels.
In 2021, upward revisions in Lower 48 were due to conversion of acquired Concho Permian two-stream contracts to a three-stream (crude oil, natural gas and NGLs) basis, adding 182 million barrels, additional infill drilling in the unconventional plays of 44 million barrels, technical revisions of 21 million barrels and higher prices of 28 million barrels, partially offset by downward revisions related to development timing for specific well locations from unconventional plays of 62 million barrels.
•Purchases: In 2021, Lower 48 purchases were due to the Shell Permian acquisition.
•Extensions and discoveries: In 2023, extensions and discoveries in Lower 48 were primarily within unconventional plays in the Permian Basin. Canada extensions and discoveries were in Montney.
In 2022, extensions and discoveries in Lower 48 were primarily within unconventional plays in the Permian Basin. Extensions and discoveries in our equity affiliates were in the Middle East.
In 2021, extensions and discoveries in Lower 48 were due to planned development to add specific well locations from the unconventional plays which more than offset the decreases in the revisions category.

*All Equity Affiliate reserves are located in our Asia Pacific/Middle East Region.
Natural gas production in the reserves table may differ from gas production (delivered for sale) in our statistics disclosure, primarily because the quantities above include gas consumed in production operations. Quantities consumed in production operations are not significant in the periods presented. The value of net production consumed in operations is not reflected in net revenues and production expenses, nor do the volumes impact the respective per unit metrics.
Reserve volumes include natural gas to be consumed in operations of 2,263 BCF, 2,416 BCF and 2,748 BCF, as of December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. These volumes are not included in the calculation of our Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows Relating to Proved Oil and Gas Reserve Quantities.
Natural gas reserves are computed at 14.65 pounds per square inch absolute and 60 degrees Fahrenheit.

Notable changes in proved natural gas reserves in the three years ended December 31, 2023, included:
•Revisions: In 2023, upward revisions in Lower 48 were due to additional development drilling in the unconventional plays of 502 BCF, technical revisions of 268 BCF, partly offset by lower prices of 211 BCF and development plan downward revisions of 38 BCF. In Europe, technical revisions contributed 64 BCF and development drilling of 14 BCF, partially offset by lower prices of 5 BCF. In Canada, upward revisions were driven by technical revisions of 37 BCF, partially offset by lower prices of 10 BCF. In Alaska, where future production is constrained by the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System minimum flow limit, updated total North Slope development phasing indicated that the flow limit will be reached earlier than previously premised, resulting in downward revisions of 121 BCF. Further downward revisions in Alaska included 72 BCF from operating efficiencies resulting in less gas to be consumed in operations, 22 BCF due to lower prices, 14 BCF from cost escalation, and 14 BCF due to technical revisions. Downward revisions in Africa of 57 BCF due to infrastructure constraints and sales demand revisions. In our equity affiliates, downward revisions were due to lower prices of 288 BCF, offset by upward technical revisions of 198 BCF.
In 2022, upward revisions in Lower 48 were due to additional development drilling in the unconventional plays of 544 BCF, higher prices of 109 BCF, and technical revisions of 41 BCF. These were partially offset by decreases of 233 BCF due to increasing operating costs, and 100 BCF due to the continued conversion of acquired Concho Permian two-stream contracts to a three-stream (crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids) basis. Upward revisions in Canada were driven by higher prices of 26 BCF, partially offset by technical revisions of 18 BCF. In Europe, technical revisions contributed 96 BCF, and higher prices 12 BCF of upward revisions. Downward revisions in Africa were primarily due to technical revisions. In our equity affiliates in Asia Pacific/Middle East, upward revisions were due to higher prices of 423 BCF, changing dynamics and improved prices in the regional LNG spot market of 331 BCF, and technical revisions of 204 BCF, partially offset by downward revisions due to increasing operating costs of 60 BCF.
In 2021, upward revisions in Alaska were due to higher prices of 587 BCF and technical revisions of 128 BCF. In Lower 48, upward revisions of 614 BCF were due to higher prices, additional infill drilling in the unconventional plays of 277 BCF and technical revisions of 60 BCF, partially offset by downward revisions due to development timing for specific well locations from unconventional plays of 498 BCF and conversion of previously acquired Permian two-stream contracted volumes to a three-stream (crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids) basis of 412 BCF. Upward revisions in Canada were due to higher prices of 29 BCF, partially offset by downward revisions due to technical revisions of 14 BCF. In Europe, upward revisions were primarily due to higher prices. Upward revisions in our consolidated operations in Asia Pacific/Middle East were due to technical revisions of 76 BCF, partially offset by price revisions of 16 BCF. In our equity affiliates in Asia Pacific/Middle East, upward revisions were due to higher prices of 124 BCF and technical and cost revisions of 123 BCF.
•Purchases: In 2022, purchases in Africa were a result of the acquisition of additional interest in the Libya Waha Concession. In our equity affiliates, purchases were due to the acquisition of additional affiliate interest in Asia Pacific.
In 2021, Lower 48 purchases were due to the Concho and Shell Permian acquisitions.
•Extensions and discoveries: In 2023, extensions and discoveries in Lower 48 were primarily within unconventional plays in the Permian Basin. Canada extensions and discoveries were in Montney. Extensions and discoveries in our equity affiliates were in Australia.
In 2022, extensions and discoveries in Lower 48 were primarily within unconventional plays in the Permian Basin. In Europe, extensions and discoveries were due to additional planned development. Extensions and discoveries in our equity affiliates were primarily in the Middle East.
In 2021, extensions and discoveries in Lower 48 were due to planned development to add specific well locations from the unconventional plays which more than offset the decreases resulting from development plan timing in the revisions category. Extensions and discoveries in Canada were primarily driven by ongoing drilling successes in Montney.
•Sales: In 2023, Lower 48 sales represent the disposition of noncore assets.
In 2022, Lower 48 sales represent the disposition of noncore assets. Sales in our consolidated operations in Asia Pacific/Middle East represent the disposition of our Indonesia assets.
In 2021, Lower 48 sales represent the disposition of noncore assets.

*There are no Bitumen reserves associated with our Equity Affiliates.
Notable changes in proved bitumen reserves in the three years ended December 31, 2023, included:
•Revisions: In 2023, the upward revision of 15 million barrels is primarily due to the impact of price on variable royalties.
In 2022, the impact of variable royalties on price resulted in downward revisions of 30 million barrels, partially offset by upward revisions primarily due to changes in development timing for specific pad locations from the Surmont development program.
In 2021, downward revisions of 64 million barrels were driven by changes in carbon tax costs and 39 million barrels due to changes in development timing for specific pad locations from the Surmont development program, partially offset by upward revisions from price of 53 million barrels.
•Purchases: In 2023, purchases in Canada were a result of the acquisition of the remaining 50 percent working interest in Surmont.
•Extensions and discoveries: In 2021, extensions and discoveries in Canada were primarily due to planned development to add specific pad locations from the Surmont development program, which more than offset the decrease in the revisions category.

Proved Undeveloped Reserves
The following table shows changes in total proved undeveloped reserves for 2023:

| Extensions and discoveries | 335 | |
| Sales | (10) | |
| Transfers to Proved Developed | (447) | |
| End of 2023 | 2,334 | |
Revisions of 354 MMBOE were predominately driven by progression of development plans in the Lower 48 unconventional plays partially offset by 23 MMBOE due to product price changes across the portfolio.
Extensions and discoveries were largely driven by the addition of 219 MMBOE in Alaska, primarily due to Willow and Nuna projects, 44 MMBOE in the Lower 48 unconventional plays and 39 MMBOE in Canada for Montney development. The remaining extensions and discoveries were driven by the continued development planned in the other geographic regions, including 10 MMBOE from equity affiliates in Asia Pacific/Middle East.
Transfers to proved developed reserves were driven by the ongoing development of our assets. Approximately 75 percent of the transfers were from the development of our Lower 48 unconventional plays. The remainder of transfers were from development across the other geographic regions.
At December 31, 2023, our PUDs represented 35 percent of total proved reserves, compared with 31 percent at December 31, 2022. Costs incurred for the year ended December 31, 2023, relating to the development of PUDs were $7.9 billion. A portion of our costs incurred each year relates to development projects where the PUDs will be converted to proved developed reserves in future years.
At the end of 2023, approximately 86 percent of total PUDs were under development or scheduled for development within five years of initial disclosure, including all of our Lower 48 PUDs. Increases in 2023 to PUDs scheduled for development beyond five years are primarily in Alaska, due to the initial recognition of PUDs associated with the Willow project, a development that is currently underway with production anticipated in 2029 due to its large scale and remote location. The remaining PUDs to be developed beyond five years are in major development areas which are currently producing and located within our Canada and Asia Pacific/Middle East geographic areas.
Results of Operations
The company’s results of operations from oil and gas activities for the years 2023, 2022 and 2021 are shown in the following tables. Non-oil and gas activities, such as pipeline and marine operations, LNG operations, crude oil and gas marketing activities, and the profit element of transportation operations in which we have an ownership interest are excluded. Additional information about selected line items within the results of operations tables is shown below:
•Sales include sales to unaffiliated entities attributable primarily to the company’s net working interests and royalty interests. Sales are net of fees to transport our produced hydrocarbons beyond the production function to a final delivery point using transportation operations which are not consolidated.
•Transportation costs reflect fees to transport our produced hydrocarbons beyond the production function to a final delivery point using transportation operations which are consolidated.
•Other revenues include gains and losses from asset sales, certain amounts resulting from the purchase and sale of hydrocarbons, and other miscellaneous income.
•Production costs include costs incurred to operate and maintain wells, related equipment and facilities used in the production of petroleum liquids and natural gas.
•Taxes other than income taxes include production, property and other non-income taxes.
•Depreciation of support equipment is reclassified as applicable.
•Other related expenses include inventory fluctuations, foreign currency transaction gains and losses and other miscellaneous expenses.

Development and Exploration Activities
The following two tables summarize our net interest in productive and dry exploratory and development wells in the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021. A “development well” is a well drilled within the proved area of a reservoir to the depth of a stratigraphic horizon known to be productive. An “exploratory well” is a well drilled to find and produce crude oil or natural gas in an unknown field or a new reservoir within a proven field. Exploratory wells also include wells drilled in areas near or offsetting current production, or in areas where well density or production history have not achieved statistical certainty of results. Excluded from the exploratory well count are stratigraphic-type exploratory wells, primarily relating to oil sands delineation wells located in Canada and CBM test wells located in Asia Pacific/Middle East.

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows Relating to Proved Oil and Gas Reserve Quantities
In accordance with SEC and FASB requirements, amounts were computed using 12-month average prices (adjusted only for existing contractual terms) and end-of-year costs, appropriate statutory tax rates and a prescribed 10 percent discount factor. Twelve-month average prices are calculated as the unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within the 12-month period prior to the end of the reporting period. For all years, continuation of year-end economic conditions was assumed. The calculations were based on estimates of proved reserves, which are revised over time as new data becomes available. Probable or possible reserves, which may become proved in the future, were not considered. The calculations also require assumptions as to the timing of future production of proved reserves and the timing and amount of future development costs, including dismantlement, and future production costs, including taxes other than income taxes.
While due care was taken in its preparation, we do not represent that this data is the fair value of our oil and gas properties, or a fair estimate of the present value of cash flows to be obtained from their development and production.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
None.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure information required to be disclosed in reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Act), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As of December 31, 2023, with the participation of our management, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer) carried out an evaluation, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Act, of ConocoPhillips’ disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Act). Based upon that evaluation, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer concluded our disclosure controls and procedures were operating effectively as of December 31, 2023.
In the third quarter of 2023, we began a multi-year implementation of an updated global enterprise resource planning system (ERP). As a result, we have made corresponding changes to our business processes and information systems, updating applicable internal controls over financial reporting where necessary. As the phased implementation of the ERP system progresses, we expect to continue to modify or change certain processes and procedures which may result in further changes to our internal controls over financial reporting.
There have been no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Act, in the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
