Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements | ConocoPhillips |
Note 1Basis 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 and 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 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Effective April 1, 2014, the Other International segment has been restructured to focus on enhancing our capability to operate in emerging and new country business units. As a result, the Latin America and Poland businesses have been moved from the historically presented Lower 48 and Latin America segment and the Europe segment to the Other International segment. Certain financial information has been revised for all prior periods presented to reflect the change in the composition of our operating segments. For additional information, see Note 17Segment Disclosures and Related Information.
The results of operations for our interest in the North Caspian Sea Production Sharing Agreement (Kashagan) and our Algeria and Nigeria businesses have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented. See Note 2Discontinued Operations, for additional information. Unless indicated otherwise, the information in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements relates to our continuing operations.
Note 2Discontinued Operations
As part of our asset disposition program, we agreed to sell our interest in Kashagan and our Algeria and Nigeria businesses (collectively, the Disposition Group). The Disposition Group was previously part of the Other International operating segment. We completed the sales of Kashagan and our Algeria business in the fourth quarter of 2013.
On December 20, 2012, we entered into agreements with affiliates of Oando PLC to sell our Nigeria business. This originally included our upstream affiliates and Phillips (Brass) Limited, which owned a 17 percent interest in the Brass LNG Project. On July 30, 2014, we completed the sale of the upstream assets for a total sales price, after customary adjustments, of $1.5 billion, generating net proceeds of approximately $1.4 billion, after customary adjustments, inclusive of deposits previously received and less cash in the business at closing. In addition, we received a $33 million short-term promissory note. We received deposits of $550 million as of June 30, 2014, which included $435 million in 2012, $15 million in 2013, and $100 million in 2014. As of June 30, 2014, the net carrying value of our Nigerian upstream assets was $259 million.
In the first quarter of 2014, we and Oando agreed to terminate the sales agreement for Phillips (Brass) Limited. In July 2014, we transferred our interest in the Brass LNG Project to the remaining shareholders in Brass LNG Limited. The financial impact of the transfer was recorded in the second quarter of 2014 and did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
5
At June 30, 2014, our interest in the Nigeria business was considered held for sale, and accordingly, we classified $1,203 million of noncurrent assets in the Prepaid expenses and other current assets line on our consolidated balance sheet. In addition, we classified $811 million of deferred income taxes in the Accrued income and other taxes line and $14 million of asset retirement obligations in the Other accruals line on our consolidated balance sheet. The carrying amounts of the major classes of assets and liabilities associated with the Disposition Group were as follows:

Note 3Variable Interest Entities (VIEs)
We hold variable interests in VIEs that have not been consolidated because we are not considered the primary beneficiary. Information on our significant VIEs follows:
Freeport LNG Development, L.P. (Freeport LNG)
We have an agreement with Freeport LNG to participate in an LNG receiving terminal in Quintana, Texas. We have no ownership in Freeport LNG; however, we own a 50 percent interest in Freeport LNG GP, Inc. (Freeport GP), which serves as the general partner managing the venture. We entered into a credit agreement with Freeport LNG, whereby we agreed to provide loan financing for the construction of the terminal. We also entered into a long-term agreement with Freeport LNG to use 0.9 billion cubic feet per day of regasification capacity, which expires in 2033. When the terminal became operational in June 2008, we began making payments under the terminal use agreement. At June 30, 2014, the prepaid balance of the terminal use agreement was $305 million, which is primarily reflected in the Other assets line on our consolidated balance sheet. Freeport LNG began making loan repayments in September 2008, and the loan balance outstanding was $476 million at June 30, 2014, and $506 million at December 31, 2013.
In July 2013, we reached an agreement with Freeport LNG to terminate our long-term agreement at the Freeport LNG Terminal, subject to Freeport LNG obtaining regulatory approval and project financing for an LNG liquefaction and export facility in Texas, in which we are not a participant. In July 2014, Freeport LNG received conditional approval from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). Upon satisfaction of their project financing conditions and receipt of FERCs permission to construct, currently expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2014, we will pay Freeport LNG a termination fee of approximately $520 million. Freeport LNG will repay the outstanding ConocoPhillips loan used by Freeport LNG to partially fund the original construction of the terminal. When the agreement becomes effective, we expect to recognize an after-tax charge to earnings of approximately $520 million. At that time, our terminal regasification capacity will be reduced from 0.9 billion cubic feet per day to 0.4 billion cubic feet per day, until July 1, 2016, at which time it will be reduced to zero.
Freeport LNG is a VIE because Freeport GP holds no equity in Freeport LNG, and the limited partners of Freeport LNG do not have any substantive decision making ability. Since we do not have the unilateral power to direct the key activities which most significantly impact its economic performance, we are not the primary beneficiary of Freeport LNG. These key activities primarily involve or relate to operating and maintaining the terminal. We also performed an analysis of the expected losses and determined we are not the primary beneficiary. This expected loss analysis took into account that the credit support arrangement requires Freeport LNG to maintain sufficient commercial insurance to mitigate any loan losses. The loan to Freeport LNG is accounted for as a financial asset, and our investment in Freeport GP is accounted for as an equity method investment.
Australia Pacific LNG Pty Ltd (APLNG)
APLNG is considered a VIE, as it has entered into certain contractual arrangements that provide it with additional forms of subordinated financial support. We are not the primary beneficiary of APLNG because we share with Origin Energy and China Petrochemical Corporation (Sinopec) the power to direct the key activities of APLNG that most significantly impact its economic performance, which involve activities related to the production and commercialization of coalbed methane, as well as LNG processing and export marketing. As a result, we do not consolidate APLNG, and it is accounted for as an equity method investment.
As of June 30, 2014, we have not provided any financial support to APLNG other than amounts previously contractually required. Unless we elect otherwise, we have no requirement to provide liquidity or purchase the assets of APLNG. See Note 5Investments, Loans and Long-Term Receivables, and Note 9Guarantees, for additional information.

Inventories valued on the last-in, first-out (LIFO) basis totaled $346 million and $343 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The estimated excess of current replacement cost over LIFO cost of inventories was approximately $180 million and $160 million at June 30, 2014, and December 31, 2013, respectively.
Note 5Investments, Loans and Long-Term Receivables
APLNG
APLNGs $8.5 billion project finance facility consists of financing agreements executed by APLNG with the Export-Import Bank of the United States for approximately $2.9 billion, the Export-Import Bank of China for approximately $2.7 billion, and a syndicate of Australian and international commercial banks for approximately $2.9 billion. At June 30, 2014, $7.8 billion had been drawn from the facility. In connection with the execution of the project financing, we provided a completion guarantee for our pro-rata share of the project finance facility until the project achieves financial completion. See Note 9Guarantees, for additional information.
APLNG is considered a VIE, as it has entered into certain contractual arrangements that provide it with additional forms of subordinated financial support. See Note 3Variable Interest Entities (VIEs), for additional information.
At June 30, 2014, the book value of our equity method investment in APLNG was $12,470 million, which included $1,694 million of cumulative translation effects due to strengthening of the Australian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar over time, and is included in the Investments and long-term receivables line on our consolidated balance sheet.
FCCL
In the first quarter of 2014, we received a $1.3 billion distribution from FCCL Partnership, our 50 percent owned business venture with Cenovus Energy Inc., which is included in the Undistributed equity earnings line on our consolidated statement of cash flows.
Loans and Long-Term Receivables
As part of our normal ongoing business operations and consistent with industry practice, 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. Significant loans to affiliated companies at June 30, 2014, included the following:
| $476 million in loan financing to Freeport LNG. See Note 3Variable Interest Entities (VIEs), for additional information. |
| $959 million in project financing to Qatar Liquefied Gas Company Limited (3) (QG3). |
8
The long-term portion of these loans is included in the Loans and advancesrelated parties line on our consolidated balance sheet, while the short-term portion is in Accounts and notes receivablerelated parties.
Note 6Suspended Wells and Unproved Property Impairments
The capitalized cost of suspended wells at June 30, 2014, was $1,261 million, an increase of $267 million from $994 million at year-end 2013. No suspended wells were charged to dry hole expense during the first six months of 2014 relating to exploratory well costs capitalized for a period greater than one year as of December 31, 2013.
In June 2014, we decided not to pursue future development of the Amauligak discovery at this time. Accordingly, we recorded a $145 million before-tax property impairment for the carrying value of capitalized undeveloped leasehold costs associated with our Amauligak, Arctic Islands and other Beaufort properties, located offshore Canada. The impairment is included in the Exploration expenses line on our consolidated income statement.
Note 7Debt
On June 23, 2014, we refinanced our revolving credit facility from a total of $7.5 billion to $7.0 billion, with a new expiration date of June 2019. Our revolving credit facility may be used for direct bank borrowings, for the issuance of letters of credit totaling up to $500 million, or as support for our commercial paper programs. 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.
Credit facility borrowings may bear interest at a margin above rates offered by certain designated banks in the London interbank market as administered by ICE Benchmark Administration or at a margin above the overnight federal funds rate or prime rates offered by certain designated banks in the United States. The agreement calls for commitment fees on available, but unused, amounts. The agreement also contains early termination rights if our current directors or their approved successors cease to be a majority of the Board of Directors.
We have two commercial paper programs supported by our $7.0 billion revolving credit facility: the ConocoPhillips $6.35 billion program, primarily a funding source for short-term working capital needs, and the ConocoPhillips Qatar Funding Ltd. $1.15 billion program, which is used to fund commitments relating to QG3. Commercial paper maturities are generally limited to 90 days.
At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had no direct outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility, with no letters of credit as of June 30, 2014 or December 31, 2013. In addition, under the ConocoPhillips Qatar Funding Ltd. commercial paper program, there was $912 million of commercial paper outstanding at June 30, 2014, compared with $961 million at December 31, 2013. Since we had $912 million of commercial paper outstanding and had issued no letters of credit, we had access to $6.1 billion in borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility at June 30, 2014.
At June 30, 2014, we classified $808 million of short-term debt as long-term debt, based on our ability and intent to refinance the obligation on a long-term basis under our revolving credit facility.
During the first six months of 2014, we repaid at maturity the aggregate principal amount of our $400 million 4.75% Notes due 2014.
9
During 2013, a lease of a semi-submersible floating production system (FPS) commenced for the Gumusut development, located in Malaysia, in which we are a co-venturer. As of June 30, 2014, the value of the capital lease asset and associated obligation for our proportionate interest in the FPS was $916 million with commissioning activities continuing. Following the startup of the FPS, the capital lease asset will be depreciated over a period consistent with the estimated proved reserves of Gumusut using the unit-of-production method with the associated depreciation included in the Depreciation, depletion and amortization line on our consolidated income statement.

Note 9Guarantees
At June 30, 2014, 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 either because the guarantees were issued prior to December 31, 2002, or because the fair value of the obligation is immaterial. In addition, unless otherwise stated, we are not currently performing with any significance under the guarantees and expect future performance to be either immaterial or have only a remote chance of occurrence.
APLNG Guarantees
At June 30, 2014, we have outstanding multiple guarantees in connection with our 37.5 percent ownership interest in APLNG. The following is a description of the guarantees with values calculated utilizing June 2014 exchange rates:
| We have guaranteed APLNGs performance with regard to a construction contract executed in connection with APLNGs issuance of the Train 1 and Train 2 Notices to Proceed. We estimate the remaining term of this guarantee is three years. Our maximum potential amount of future payments related to this guarantee is approximately $120 million and would become payable if APLNG cancels the applicable construction contract and does not perform with respect to the amounts owed to the contractor. |
10
| We have issued a construction completion guarantee related to the third-party project financing secured by APLNG. Our maximum potential amount of future payments under the guarantee is estimated to be $3.2 billion, which could be payable if the full debt financing capacity is utilized and completion of the project is not achieved. Our guarantee of the project financing will be released upon meeting certain completion tests with milestones, which we estimate would occur beginning in 2016. Our maximum exposure at June 30, 2014, is approximately $2.9 billion based upon our pro-rata share of the facility used at that date. At June 30, 2014, the carrying value of this guarantee is $114 million. |
| In conjunction with our original acquisition of an ownership interest in APLNG in October 2008, we agreed to guarantee an existing obligation of APLNG to deliver natural gas under several sales agreements with remaining terms of 2 to 17 years. Our maximum potential amount of future payments, or cost of volume delivery, under these guarantees is estimated to be $0.8 billion (approximately $2.0 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 projects continued development. The guarantees have remaining terms of up to 31 years or the life of the venture. Our maximum potential amount of future payments related to these guarantees is approximately $210 million and would become payable if APLNG does not perform. |
Other Guarantees
We have other guarantees with maximum future potential payment amounts totaling approximately $250 million, which consist primarily of guarantees of the residual value of leased corporate aircraft, guarantees to fund the short-term cash liquidity deficit of two joint ventures, a guarantee for our portion of a joint ventures debt obligations and a guarantee of minimum charter revenue for an LNG vessel. These guarantees have remaining terms of up to 10 years or the life of the venture and would become payable if, upon sale, certain asset values are lower than guaranteed amounts, business conditions decline at guaranteed entities, or as a result of non-performance of contractual terms by guaranteed parties.
Indemnifications
Over the years, we have entered into agreements to sell ownership interests in certain corporations, joint ventures and assets that gave rise to qualifying indemnifications. These agreements include indemnifications for taxes, environmental liabilities, employee claims, and litigation. The terms of these indemnifications vary greatly. The majority of these indemnifications are related to environmental issues, the term is generally indefinite and the maximum amount of future payments is generally unlimited. The carrying amount recorded for these indemnifications at June 30, 2014, was approximately $70 million. We amortize the indemnification liability over the relevant time period, if one exists, based on the facts and circumstances surrounding each type of indemnity. In cases where the indemnification term is indefinite, we will reverse the liability when we have information the liability is essentially relieved or amortize the liability over an appropriate time period as the fair value of our indemnification exposure declines. 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. Included in the recorded carrying amount at June 30, 2014, were approximately $50 million of environmental accruals for known contamination that are included in the Asset retirement obligations and accrued environmental costs line on our consolidated balance sheet. For additional information about environmental liabilities, see Note 10Contingencies and Commitments.
On April 30, 2012, the separation of our downstream businesses was completed, creating two independent energy companies: ConocoPhillips and Phillips 66. In connection with the separation, we entered into an Indemnification and Release Agreement, which provides for cross-indemnities between Phillips 66 and us and
11
established procedures for handling claims subject to indemnification and related matters. We evaluated the impact of the indemnifications given and the Phillips 66 indemnifications received as of the separation date and concluded those fair values were immaterial.
Note 10Contingencies and Commitments
A number of lawsuits involving a variety of claims arising in the ordinary course of business have been made 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 minimum of the range is accrued. We do not reduce these liabilities for potential insurance or third-party recoveries. If applicable, we accrue receivables for probable insurance or other third-party recoveries. 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. When we prepare our consolidated financial statements, we record accruals for environmental liabilities based on managements best estimates, using all information that is available at the time. We measure estimates and base liabilities 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. Environmental Protection Agency (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.
12
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. At June 30, 2014, our balance sheet included a total environmental accrual of $378 million, compared with $348 million at December 31, 2013, for remediation activities in the United States and Canada. We expect to incur a substantial amount of these expenditures within the next 30 years. We have not reduced these accruals for possible insurance recoveries. In the future, we may be involved in additional environmental assessments, cleanups and proceedings.
Legal Proceedings
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, personal injury, and property damage. Our primary exposures for such matters relate to alleged royalty underpayments on certain Federal, State and privately owned properties and claims of alleged environmental contamination from historic operations. 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.
Other Contingencies
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, 2014, we had performance obligations secured by letters of credit of $638 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, we announced we had been unable to reach agreement with respect to our migration to an empresa mixta structure mandated by the Venezuelan governments Nationalization Decree. As a result, Venezuelas 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, we filed a request for international arbitration on November 2, 2007, with the World Banks International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID). An arbitration hearing was held before an ICSID tribunal during the summer of 2010. On September 3, 2013, an ICSID arbitration tribunal held that Venezuela unlawfully expropriated ConocoPhillips significant oil investments in June 2007. A separate arbitration phase is currently proceeding to determine the damages owed to ConocoPhillips for Venezuelas actions.
In 2008, Burlington Resources, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of ConocoPhillips, initiated arbitration before ICSID against The Republic of Ecuador, as a result of the newly enacted Windfall Profits Tax Law and government-mandated renegotiation of our production sharing contracts. Despite a restraining order issued by the ICSID tribunal, Ecuador confiscated the crude oil production of Burlington and its co-venturer and sold the seized crude oil. In 2009, Ecuador took over operations in Blocks 7 and 21, fully expropriating our assets. In June 2010, the ICSID tribunal concluded it has jurisdiction to hear the expropriation claim. On April 24, 2012, Ecuador filed supplemental counterclaims asserting environmental damages, which we believe are not material. The ICSID tribunal issued a decision on liability on December 14, 2012, in favor of Burlington,
13
finding that Ecuadors seizure of Blocks 7 and 21 was an unlawful expropriation in violation of the Ecuador-U.S. Bilateral Investment Treaty. An additional arbitration phase is currently proceeding to determine the damages owed to ConocoPhillips for Ecuadors actions and to address Ecuadors counterclaims.
ConocoPhillips served a Notice of Arbitration on the Timor-Leste Minister of Finance in October 2012 for outstanding disputes related to a series of tax assessments. As of June 2014, ConocoPhillips paid, under protest, tax assessments totaling approximately $236 million, which are primarily recorded in the Investments and long-term receivables line on our consolidated balance sheet. The arbitration hearing was conducted in Singapore in June 2014 under the United Nations Commission on International Trade Laws (UNCITRAL) arbitration rules, pursuant to the terms of the Tax Stability Agreement with the Timor-Leste government. Post-hearing briefs from both parties are due in August 2014. Subsequently, we will be awaiting the Tribunals decision. Future impacts on our business are not known at this time.
Note 11Derivative and Financial Instruments
Derivative Instruments
We use futures, forwards, swaps and options in various markets to meet our customer needs and capture market opportunities. Our commodity business primarily consists of natural gas, crude oil, bitumen, LNG and natural gas liquids.
Our 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 the consolidated statement of cash flows. On our consolidated income statement, realized and unrealized 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 normal purchase normal sale exception are recognized upon settlement. We generally apply this exception to eligible crude contracts. We do not use hedge accounting for our commodity derivatives.

Foreign Currency Exchange Derivatives
We have foreign currency exchange rate risk resulting from international operations. Our foreign currency exchange derivative activity primarily consists of transactions designed to mitigate our cash-related and foreign currency exchange rate exposures, such as firm commitments for capital programs or local currency tax payments, dividends, and cash returns from net investments in foreign affiliates. We do not elect hedge accounting on our foreign currency exchange derivatives.

Credit Risk
Financial instruments potentially exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash equivalents, short-term investments, over-the-counter (OTC) derivative contracts and trade receivables. Our cash equivalents and short-term investments are placed in high-quality commercial paper, money market funds, government debt securities and time deposits with major international banks and financial institutions.
The credit risk from our OTC derivative contracts, such as forwards and swaps, 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 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 petroleum 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 do not generally require collateral to limit the exposure to loss; however, we will sometimes use letters of credit, prepayments and 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 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 or IntercontinentalExchange.
16
The aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with such credit-risk-related contingent features that were in a liability position on June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, was $135 million and $57 million, respectively. For these instruments, no collateral was posted as of June 30, 2014 or December 31, 2013. If our credit rating had been lowered one level from its A rating (per Standard and Poors) on June 30, 2014, we would be required to post no additional collateral to our counterparties. If we had been downgraded below investment grade, we would be required to post $135 million of additional collateral, either with cash or letters of credit.
Note 12Fair Value Measurement
We carry a portion of our assets and liabilities at fair value that are measured at a 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 following hierarchy:
| Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in an active market for identical assets or liabilities. |
| Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are directly or indirectly observable. |
| Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value of assets or liabilities. |
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 that are initially reported as Level 2 are subsequently reported as Level 3 if corroborated market data is no longer available. Transfers occur at the end of the reporting period. There were no material transfers in or out of Level 1 during 2014 or 2013.
Recurring Fair Value Measurement
Financial assets and liabilities reported at fair value on a recurring basis primarily include commodity derivatives and certain investments to support nonqualified deferred compensation plans. The deferred compensation investments are measured at fair value using unadjusted prices available from national securities exchanges; therefore, these assets are categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. 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 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 3 derivative assets and liabilities consist of OTC swaps, options and forward purchase and sale contracts that are long term in nature and 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 managements best estimate of fair value. Level 3 activity was not material for all periods presented.

At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we did not present any amounts gross on our consolidated balance sheet where we had the right of setoff.
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. |
| 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 advancesrelated parties. |
| Loans and advancesrelated 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 5Investments, Loans and Long-Term Receivables, for additional information. |
18
| 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. |

Note 17Segment Disclosures and Related Information
We explore for, produce, transport and market crude oil, bitumen, natural gas, LNG and natural gas liquids on a worldwide basis. We manage our operations through six operating segments, which are primarily defined by geographic region: Alaska, Lower 48, Canada, Europe, Asia Pacific and Middle East, and Other International.
Effective April 1, 2014, the Other International segment was restructured to focus on enhancing our capability to operate in emerging and new country business units. As a result, we moved the Latin America and Poland businesses from the historically presented Lower 48 and Latin America segment and the Europe segment to the Other International segment. Results of operations for the Lower 48, Europe and Other International segments have been revised for all periods presented. There was no impact on our consolidated financial statements, and the impact on our segment presentation was immaterial.
In 2012, we agreed to sell our Nigeria and Algeria businesses and our interest in Kashagan. We sold Kashagan and our Algeria business in the fourth quarter of 2013. Results for the Disposition Group have been reported as discontinued operations in all periods presented. For additional information, see Note 2Discontinued Operations.
Corporate and Other represents costs not directly associated with an operating segment, such as most interest expense, corporate overhead and certain technology activities, including licensing revenues. Corporate assets include all cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments.
We evaluate performance and allocate resources based on net income attributable to ConocoPhillips. Intersegment sales are at prices that approximate market.

Note 18Income Taxes
Our effective tax rates from continuing operations for the second quarter and first six months of 2014 were 40 percent and 42 percent, respectively, compared with 44 percent and 45 percent for the same periods of 2013. The lower rates were primarily due to a smaller proportion of income in higher tax jurisdictions in 2014. The effective tax rate for the first six months of 2013 was favorably impacted by the tax resolution associated with the sale of certain western Canada properties which occurred in a prior year.
For both the second quarter and the first six months of 2014, the effective tax rate in excess of the domestic federal statutory rate of 35 percent was primarily due to foreign taxes.
Note 19New Accounting Standards
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. This ASU supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance. This ASU sets forth a five-step model for determining when and how revenue is recognized. Under the model, an entity will be required to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount reflecting the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. Additional disclosures will be required to describe the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts. The ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted. Entities may choose to adopt the standard using either a full retrospective approach or a modified retrospective approach. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this ASU.

BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT AND EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
ConocoPhillips is the worlds largest independent exploration and production (E&P) company, based on production and proved reserves. Headquartered in Houston, Texas, we have operations and activities in 27 countries. At June 30, 2014, we had approximately 19,200 employees worldwide and total assets of $122 billion.
Overview
We are an independent E&P company focused on exploring for, developing and producing crude oil and natural gas globally. Our asset base reflects our legacy as a major company with a strategic focus on higher-margin developments. Our diverse portfolio primarily includes resource-rich North American shale and oil sands assets; lower-risk legacy assets in North America, Europe, Asia and Australia; several major international developments; and a growing inventory of global conventional and unconventional exploration prospects. Our value proposition to our shareholders is to deliver 3 to 5 percent production and cash margin growth, achieve ongoing competitive dividends and returns on capital, while keeping our fundamental commitment to safety, operating excellence and environmental stewardship. To achieve these goals, we plan to continue to invest in high-margin developments, optimize our portfolio, apply technical capability and maintain financial flexibility.
In 2013, we successfully achieved the targets we set to sell non-core assets, advance major projects, progress development drilling and exploration programs and maintain a competitive dividend. Our success has enabled us to focus on growth in 2014, which we intend to deliver through investments in our legacy assets, continued success in our development drilling and exploration programs, continued ramp up in our unconventional plays and additional project startups, which include anticipated startups in Canada, Malaysia and the United Kingdom in 2014. As a result, we expect to deliver 3 to 5 percent volume and margin growth in 2014. In the second quarter of 2014, we achieved production of 1,594 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day (MBOED), including production from discontinued operations of 37 MBOED. Excluding Libya, our production from continuing operations was 1,556 MBOED. Adjusted for Libya and downtime, production from continuing operations increased by 60 MBOED, or 4 percent, compared with the second quarter of 2013.
29
Consistent with our commitment to offer our shareholders a competitive dividend, in July 2014, our Board of Directors increased our quarterly dividend by 5.8 percent to $0.73 per share. Through June 2014, we generated $9.8 billion in cash from continuing operations, which included a $1.3 billion distribution from our 50 percent owned FCCL Partnership. We also paid dividends on our common stock of $1.7 billion and ended the quarter with $6.1 billion in cash and cash equivalents.
We participate in a capital-intensive industry. As a result, we invest significant capital to acquire acreage, explore for new oil and gas fields, develop newly discovered fields, maintain existing fields, and construct pipelines and liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities. In December 2013, we announced a capital budget of $16.7 billion for 2014, and this guidance remains unchanged. We funded $8.1 billion of capital expenditures through June 2014. We use a disciplined approach to select the appropriate projects which will provide the most attractive investment opportunities, with a continued focus on organic growth in volumes and margins through higher-margin oil, condensate and LNG projects and limited investment in North American natural gas. As investments bring more liquids production online, we expect a corresponding shift in our production mix. In the second quarter of 2014, our average liquids production from continuing operations, excluding Libya, increased 11 percent compared with the same period of 2013. However, there are often long lead times from the time we make an investment to the time the investment is operational and begins generating financial returns. We expect our capital expenditures to be approximately $16.0 billion per year through 2017. Our investment in higher-value products and geographic areas is expected to contribute to additional margin growth.
Basis of Presentation
Effective April 1, 2014, the Other International segment was restructured to focus on enhancing our capability to operate in emerging and new country business units. As a result, we moved the Latin America and Poland businesses from the historically presented Lower 48 and Latin America segment and the Europe segment to the Other International segment. Results of operations for the Lower 48, Europe and Other International segments have been revised for all periods presented. There was no impact on our consolidated financial results, and the impact on our segment presentation was immaterial. For additional information, see Note 17Segment Disclosures and Related Information, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Business Environment
The business environment for the energy industry has historically experienced many challenges which have influenced our operations and profitability, largely due to factors beyond our control, such as the global financial crisis and recession which began in 2008, supply disruptions or fears thereof caused by civil unrest or military conflicts, environmental laws, tax regulations, governmental policies and weather-related disruptions. North Americas energy landscape has been transformed from resource scarcity to an abundance of supply, as a result of advances in technology responsible for the rapid growth of shale production, successful exploration and development in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico and rising production from the Canadian oil sands. These dynamics generally influence world energy markets and commodity prices. The most significant factor impacting our profitability and related reinvestment of operating cash flows into our business is commodity prices, which can be very volatile; therefore, our strategy is to maintain a strong balance sheet with a diverse portfolio of assets, which will provide the financial flexibility to withstand challenging business cycles.
30
Our earnings generally correlate with industry price levels for crude oil and natural gas. These are commodity products, the prices of 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 West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil, Dated Brent crude oil and U.S. Henry Hub (HH) natural gas:
Brent crude oil prices averaged $109.63 per barrel in the second quarter of 2014, an increase of 7 percent compared with $102.44 per barrel in the second quarter of 2013, and an increase of 1 percent compared with $108.22 per barrel in the first quarter of 2014. Prices have been supported by continued geopolitical risks impacting supplies, as well as global oil demand growth. Industry crude prices for WTI averaged $103.05 per barrel in the second quarter of 2014, an increase of 9 percent compared with $94.12 per barrel in the second quarter of 2013, and an increase of 4 percent compared with $98.75 per barrel in the first quarter of 2014. Strong U.S. refinery runs and new pipeline and rail infrastructure contributed to reducing the discount of WTI relative to global oil prices during the second quarter of 2014.
Henry Hub natural gas prices averaged $4.68 per thousand cubic feet (MCF) in the second quarter of 2014, an increase of 14 percent compared with $4.10 per MCF in the second quarter of 2013 and a decrease of 5 percent compared with $4.94 per MCF in the first quarter of 2014. Strong growth in demand in 2014 versus 2013, particularly winter weather-driven demand, pushed natural gas prices higher early in the year. During the spring months of 2014, prices fell modestly relative to the first quarter of 2014, as seasonal demand subsided.
Bitumen prices continued to strengthen in the second quarter of 2014, mainly as a result of higher refinery demand, as well as increased rail volumes and pipeline capacity improvements. Our realized bitumen price was $65.82 per barrel in the second quarter of 2014, an increase of 18 percent compared with $55.69 per barrel in the second quarter of 2013 and an increase of 17 percent compared with $56.47 per barrel in the first quarter of 2014.
Our total average realized price was $70.17 per barrel of oil equivalent (BOE) in the second quarter of 2014, an increase of 5 percent compared with $66.82 per BOE in the second quarter of 2013, which reflected higher average realized prices across all commodities. In the first six months of 2014, our total realized price was $70.68 per BOE, an increase of 4 percent compared with $67.70 per BOE in the first six months of 2013. This reflected higher overall bitumen and natural gas prices, partially offset by lower crude oil prices.

Outlook
Production and Other Guidance
We expect to achieve 3 to 5 percent volume and margin growth in 2014. The third and fourth quarter 2014 production guidance for continuing operations, excluding Libya, is unchanged. Third-quarter 2014 production is expected to be 1,435 to 1,485 MBOED. This range reflects a high level of seasonal planned maintenance and turnaround activity. Fourth-quarter production is expected to be 1,590 to 1,640 MBOED. This range anticipates project startups in Canada, Malaysia and the United Kingdom and reflects a strong anticipated exit rate at year-end. We are raising the midpoint of our 2014 full-year production outlook for continuing operations, excluding Libya. Full-year production guidance is now approximately 1,525 to 1,550 MBOED.
For other guidance items, we are providing a mid-year update. Previous guidance for depreciation of $8.5 billion, corporate expense of $0.95 billion and full-year capital of $16.7 billion remain unchanged. Exploration expense guidance of $1.5 billion is also unchanged and includes risked dry hole expense. Production and selling, general and administrative expense outlook is up modestly from prior guidance and is expected to be in the range of $8.7 billion to $8.9 billion.
Sale of Nigeria Business Update
As previously announced, we entered into agreements with affiliates of Oando PLC to sell our Nigeria business, which originally included our upstream affiliates and Phillips (Brass) Limited, which owned a 17 percent interest in the Brass LNG Project. The upstream sale closed on July 30, 2014, and generated net proceeds of approximately $1.4 billion, after customary adjustments, inclusive of deposits previously received. In July 2014, we transferred our 17 percent interest in the Brass LNG Project to the remaining shareholders in Brass LNG Limited. For additional information, see Note 2Discontinued Operations, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Freeport LNG
We have a long-term agreement with Freeport LNG Development, L.P. to use 0.9 billion cubic feet per day of regasification capacity at Freeports 1.5-billion-cubic-feet-per-day LNG receiving terminal in Quintana, Texas. In July 2013, we and Freeport LNG agreed to terminate this agreement, subject to Freeport LNG obtaining regulatory approval and project financing for an LNG liquefaction and export facility in Texas, in which we are not a participant. In July 2014, Freeport LNG received conditional approval from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). Upon satisfaction of their project financing conditions and receipt of FERCs permission to construct, currently expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2014, we will pay Freeport LNG a termination fee of approximately $520 million. Freeport LNG will repay the outstanding ConocoPhillips loan used by Freeport LNG to partially fund the original construction of the terminal. These transactions, plus miscellaneous items, will result in a one-time net cash outflow of approximately $50 million
32
for us. When the agreement becomes effective, we also expect to recognize an after-tax charge to earnings of approximately $520 million. At that time, our terminal regasification capacity will be reduced from 0.9 billion cubic feet per day to 0.4 billion cubic feet per day, until July 1, 2016, at which time it will be reduced to zero. As a result of this transaction, we anticipate saving approximately $50 million to $60 million per year in operating costs over the next 19 years. For additional information, see Note 3Variable Interest Entities (VIEs), in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Earnings for ConocoPhillips were flat in the second quarter of 2014, and earnings for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014, increased 2 percent. Both periods of 2014 reflected improvements primarily from higher prices, higher volumes, a continued portfolio shift to liquids and a higher proportion of production in high-margin areas. These items were largely offset by:
| Higher leasehold impairments in Canada. |
| Higher operating expenses. |
| Higher corporate expenses, largely due to lower licensing revenues and capitalized interest. |
| Lower recognition of net gains associated with pending claims and settlements. The second quarter and six-month period of 2014 included net gains of $138 million after-tax and $99 million after-tax, respectively, compared with net gains of $234 million after-tax for the comparable periods of 2013. |
| Higher depreciation, depletion and amortization (DD&A) expenses, mainly due to higher volumes in the Lower 48 and Europe. |
| Lower gains from asset sales. Earnings for the second quarter of 2014 included gains of $5 million after-tax, compared with gains of $71 million after-tax in the second quarter of 2013. Gains realized in the six-month period of 2014 were $11 million after-tax, compared with gains of $341 million after-tax in the six-month period of 2013. |
Earnings in the six-month period of 2014 also benefitted from lower production taxes in Alaska, which mainly resulted from higher capital spending and lower production volumes, and improved marketing of third-party North American natural gas volumes. These increases were partly offset by an $83 million after-tax loss
33
related to releases of capacity on transportation and storage capacity agreements in the six-month period of 2014.
See the Segment Results section for additional information on our segment results.
Income Statement Analysis
Sales and other operating revenues increased 4 percent in the second quarter and 6 percent in the six-month period of 2014 due to higher prices and volumes.
Equity in earnings of affiliates increased 36 percent in the second quarter and 45 percent in the six-month period of 2014. The increases in both periods of 2014 primarily resulted from higher earnings from FCCL Partnership, largely as a result of higher bitumen prices and volumes. The increase in equity earnings in the six-month period of 2014 was partially offset by lower earnings from Australia Pacific LNG Pty Ltd (APLNG), primarily due to higher operating expenses and DD&A.
Gain on dispositions decreased 93 percent in the second quarter and 90 percent in the six-month period of 2014. Gains realized in the second quarter of 2013 mainly resulted from the disposition of certain properties located in southwest Louisiana. Additional gains realized in the six-month period of 2013 primarily included the disposition of our interest in the Interconnector Pipeline in Europe, partly offset by a loss on the disposition of the majority of our producing zones located in the Cedar Creek Anticline in the Lower 48.
Purchased commodities increased 11 percent in the six-month period of 2014, largely as a result of higher natural gas prices, in addition to a $130 million loss related to transportation and storage capacity agreements located in the Lower 48, partly offset by lower purchased volumes.
Production and operating expenses increased 21 percent in the second quarter and 17 percent in the six-month period of 2014. Both periods in 2013 included the benefit of a $142 million accrual reduction related to FERC approval of cost allocation (pooling) agreements with the remaining owners of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System (TAPS). Additional increases in both periods of 2014 were mostly due to increased activity in the Lower 48, as well as higher well workovers and maintenance in Europe, Alaska, Australia and China.
Exploration expenses increased 61 percent in the second quarter and 36 percent in the six-month period of 2014. The increase in both periods of 2014 was primarily attributable to the $145 million impairment of undeveloped leasehold costs associated with the offshore Canada Amauligak discovery, Arctic Islands and other Beaufort properties, as a result of our decision not to pursue future development at this time. Higher dry hole costs, mostly associated with the Gulf of Mexico, also contributed to the increase in both periods of 2014.
DD&A increased 13 percent in the second quarter and 9 percent in the six-month period of 2014. The increase in both periods of 2014 was mostly associated with higher production volumes in the Lower 48 and the United Kingdom, partly offset by lower unit-of-production rates in Canada associated with year-end 2013 price-related reserve revisions and lower natural gas production volumes.
Taxes other than income taxes decreased 18 percent in the six-month period of 2014, mainly due to lower production taxes in Alaska, as a result of higher capital spending and lower crude oil production volumes.
Interest and debt expense increased 21 percent in the six-month period of 2014, primarily due to lower capitalized interest on projects.
Foreign currency transaction losses in the six-month period of 2014, compared with foreign currency transaction gains in the six-month period of 2013, were primarily attributable to fluctuations in the U.S. dollar versus Norwegian krone and Malaysian ringgit exchange rates.

We explore for, produce, transport and market crude oil, bitumen, natural gas, LNG and natural gas liquids on a worldwide basis. At June 30, 2014, our continuing operations were producing in the United States, Norway, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Timor-Leste, Indonesia, China, Malaysia, Qatar, Libya and Russia.
Total production from continuing operations, including Libya, increased 3 percent in the second quarter of 2014 and 1 percent in the six-month period of 2014, while average liquids production increased 6 percent and 2 percent over the corresponding periods in 2013. The increase in total average production primarily resulted from additional production from major developments, mainly from shale plays in the Lower 48 and the ramp up of production from Jasmine in the United Kingdom and Christina Lake in Canada; increased drilling programs, mostly in the Lower 48, western Canada, Norway and China; and lower planned and unplanned downtime. These increases were largely offset by normal field decline, shut-in Libya production due to the closure of the Es Sider crude oil export terminal, and unfavorable market impacts. The impact from asset dispositions also partially offset the increases in production in the six-month period of 2014. Adjusted for Libya and downtime, production from continuing operations increased by 60 MBOED, or 4 percent, compared with the second quarter of 2013.

The Alaska segment primarily explores for, produces, transports and markets crude oil, natural gas liquids, natural gas and LNG. As of June 30, 2014, Alaska contributed 21 percent of our worldwide liquids production and 1 percent of our natural gas production.
Alaska earnings decreased 8 percent in the second quarter and remained flat in the six-month period of 2014 compared with the same periods of 2013. Earnings in both periods of 2014 were mainly impacted by the absence of a $97 million after-tax benefit associated with a ruling by FERC in 2013, more fully described below, lower crude oil volumes and higher operating expenses. These reductions to earnings were largely offset by lower production taxes, which resulted from higher 2014 capital spending and lower crude oil production volumes. Higher crude oil prices also partially offset the decrease in earnings in the second quarter of 2014.
In 2012, the major owners of TAPS filed a proposed settlement with FERC to resolve pooling disputes prior to August 2012 and establish a voluntary pooling agreement to pool costs prospectively from August 2012. In July 2013, FERC approved the proposed settlement and pooling agreement without modification. As a result, we reduced a related accrual in the second quarter of 2013, which decreased our production and operating expenses by $97 million after-tax.
Average production decreased 2 percent in the second quarter and 5 percent in the six-month period of 2014, compared with the corresponding periods of 2013. The reduction in both periods of 2014 was mainly due to normal field decline, partially offset by lower unplanned downtime.
Alaska LNG (AKLNG) Update
In June 2014, we, along with affiliates of Exxon Mobil Corporation, BP p.l.c., TransCanada Corporation and the State of Alaska, signed a joint venture agreement to begin preliminary front-end engineering and design on the AKLNG Project. In July 2014, an application was filed with the U.S. Department of Energy for a permit to export up to 20 million metric tons of LNG annually. Significant engineering, technical, regulatory, fiscal, commercial and permitting issues will need to be resolved prior to a final investment decision on the potential $45 billion to $65 billion (gross) project.

As of June 30, 2014, the Lower 48 contributed 31 percent of our worldwide liquids production and 38 percent of our natural gas production. The Lower 48 segment consists of operations located in the U.S. Lower 48 states and exploration activities in the Gulf of Mexico.
Earnings from the Lower 48 increased 14 percent in the second quarter and 74 percent in the six-month period of 2014 compared with the same periods of 2013. Earnings in both periods of 2014 primarily benefitted from increased crude oil volumes and stronger natural gas prices. These increases to earnings were partially offset by higher DD&A, mostly due to higher crude oil production, the absence of a $69 million after-tax gain on disposition of certain properties in southwest Louisiana recognized in the second quarter of 2013, and higher operating expenses, taxes and dry hole expenses. Dry hole expenses in both periods of 2014 were approximately $85 million after-tax for the nonoperated Coronado Miocene appraisal and Deep Nansen wildcat wells in the Gulf of Mexico, compared with approximately $40 million after-tax in both periods of 2013 for the Thorn well. Additional benefits to earnings in the six-month period of 2014 included approximately $100 million after-tax from marketing third-party natural gas volumes, higher natural gas liquids prices, and the absence of a $52 million after-tax loss recognized in the six-month period of 2013 from the disposition of the majority of our producing zones in the Cedar Creek Anticline. These increases in the six-month period of 2014 were partially offset by an $83 million after-tax loss recognized upon the release of underutilized transportation and storage capacity at rates below our contractual rates, in addition to a $35 million after-tax legal accrual.
Rising U.S. production and an increase in pipeline capacity to the Gulf Coast have put downward pressure on Gulf Coast crude oil prices. Prices for Permian Basin crude oil production have been impacted by production increases exceeding pipeline offtake additions. Our average realized prices in the Lower 48 have historically correlated with WTI prices; however, in the second half of 2013, our Lower 48 crude differential versus WTI began to widen. In the second quarter of 2014, our average realized crude oil price of $93.73 per barrel was 9 percent less than WTI of $103.05 per barrel. Current market dynamics indicate this crude differential may remain relatively wide in the near-term.
Total average production in the Lower 48 increased 10 percent in the second quarter and 8 percent in the six-month period of 2014. Average crude oil production increased 30 percent and 23 percent over the same periods, respectively. The increases in both periods of 2014 were mainly attributable to new production, primarily from the Eagle Ford and Bakken, and improved drilling and well performance. These increases in production were partially offset by normal field decline and higher unplanned downtime.

Our Canadian operations mainly consist of natural gas fields in western Canada and oil sands developments in the Athabasca Region of northeastern Alberta. As of June 30, 2014, Canada contributed 18 percent of our worldwide liquids production and 18 percent of our natural gas production.
Earnings from Canada increased $177 million in the second quarter and $400 million in the six-month period of 2014 compared with the corresponding periods of 2013. The increases in earnings in both periods of 2014 were largely due to higher bitumen and natural gas prices, higher bitumen volumes and lower DD&A from western Canada. The lower DD&A mainly resulted from lower unit-of-production rates related to year-end 2013 price-related reserve revisions and lower natural gas production volumes.
These increases to earnings were partly offset by the $109 million after-tax impairment of undeveloped leasehold costs associated with the offshore Amauligak discovery, Arctic Islands and other Beaufort properties. This resulted from our decision not to pursue future development at this time; however, we remain committed to the potential of the area as technology develops and the price environment improves.
Earnings for the six-month period of 2013 also included the recognition of a $224 million tax benefit, which related to the favorable tax resolution associated with the sale of certain western Canada properties in a previous year. For additional information on the Amauligak impairment, see Note 6Suspended Wells and Unproved Property Impairments, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Total average production increased 5 percent in the second quarter and 2 percent in the six-month period of 2014, while bitumen production increased 28 percent and 21 percent over the same periods, respectively. The increases in total production in both periods of 2014 were mainly attributable to improved drilling and well performance from western Canada and Christina Lake in FCCL, the ramp-up of production from Christina Lake Phase E and lower planned downtime. These increases were partly offset by normal field decline and higher royalty impacts, which resulted from higher prices.
38
Exploration Update
In the second quarter of 2014, we entered into a farm-in agreement to acquire a 30 percent nonoperated interest in six exploration licenses covering approximately five million gross acres in the deepwater Shelburne Basin, offshore Nova Scotia. Pending regulatory approval, we anticipate drilling will begin in the second half of 2015.

The Europe segment consists of operations principally located in the Norwegian and U.K. sectors of the North Sea, as well as exploration activities in Greenland. As of June 30, 2014, our Europe operations contributed 16 percent of our worldwide liquids production and 12 percent of our natural gas production.
Earnings for Europe decreased 2 percent in the second quarter and 15 percent in the six-month period of 2014 compared with the same periods of 2013. Earnings in both periods of 2014 were primarily impacted by higher DD&A, which mostly resulted from increased production volumes from Jasmine, higher taxes and operating expenses and lower gains from asset dispositions. Gains realized in the six-month period of 2013 mainly included an $83 million after-tax gain on the disposition of our interest in the Interconnector Pipeline. These decreases in earnings in both periods of 2014 were partly offset by higher crude oil and natural gas volumes. Lower foreign currency transaction gains also contributed to the reduction in earnings in the six-month period of 2014.
Average production increased 23 percent in the second quarter and 14 percent in the six-month period of 2014, mostly due to the continued ramp-up of production from Jasmine and Ekofisk South, the startup of the new sour gas plant at East Irish Sea, improved drilling and well performance in Norway and lower planned downtime. These increases were partly offset by normal field decline.

The Asia Pacific and Middle East segment has operations in China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Australia, Timor-Leste and Qatar, as well as exploration activities in Bangladesh and Brunei. As of June 30, 2014, Asia Pacific and Middle East contributed 13 percent of our worldwide liquids production and 31 percent of our natural gas production.
Asia Pacific and Middle East earnings decreased 16 percent in the second quarter and 18 percent in the six-month period of 2014 compared with the same periods of 2013. The reduction in earnings in both periods of 2014 was mainly due to the absence of a $146 million after-tax insurance settlement received in the second quarter of 2013 associated with the Bohai Bay seepage incidents. Lower crude oil and LNG sales volumes; higher expenses from equity affiliates; higher operating expenses; foreign currency losses in 2014, compared with foreign currency gains in 2013; and lower natural gas prices, mostly from Indonesia, also contributed to the decrease in earnings in both periods of 2014. These decreases were partly offset by higher LNG and crude oil prices.
40
Average production remained relatively flat in both the second quarter and six-month period of 2014 compared with the same periods of 2013. Increased production and lower unplanned downtime were mostly offset by normal field decline. The increases in the second quarter of 2014 were also partially offset by unfavorable effects on production sharing contracts, as a result of higher prices. Production increases in the six-month period of 2014 were also partially offset by higher planned maintenance at Qatar Liquefied Gas Company Limited (3) (QG3).

The Other International segment includes operations in Libya and Russia, as well as exploration activities in Colombia, Poland, Angola, Senegal and Azerbaijan. As of June 30, 2014, Other International contributed 1 percent of our worldwide liquids production.
Other International earnings increased $95 million in the second quarter and $47 million in the six-month period of 2014 compared with the same periods of 2013. Earnings in both periods of 2014 primarily benefitted from the recognition of other income of $154 million after-tax associated with the favorable resolution of a contingent liability, partially offset by lower volumes from Libya and lower earnings from equity affiliates, which mostly resulted from the 2013 disposition of our equity investment in Phoenix Park Processors Limited, located in Trinidad and Tobago. Lower gains from asset dispositions and higher exploration expenses also partially offset the increase in earnings in the six-month period of 2014.
Average production decreased 91 percent in the both the second quarter and six-month period of 2014 compared with the same periods in 2013. The decreases primarily resulted from the shutdown of the Es Sider crude oil export terminal in Libya, which began at the end of July 2013. Libya production remains shut in, as the Es Sider Terminal closure has continued into the third quarter of 2014.
41
Exploration Update
In June 2014, we spud the Kamoxi-1 well, located offshore Angola, as part of a four-well drilling program. During the second quarter of 2014, drilling also commenced on the FAN-1 well, offshore Senegal, as part of a two-well drilling program. In Colombia, we expect to begin exploratory drilling in the La Luna Shale in the second half of 2014.
Asset Dispositions
In July 2014, we sold our Nigeria upstream affiliates, and we transferred our 17 percent interest in the Brass LNG Project to the remaining shareholders in Brass LNG Limited. In 2013, we sold our Algeria business and our interest in Kashagan. Results of operations related to Nigeria, Algeria and Kashagan have been classified as discontinued operations in all periods presented in this Form 10-Q. For additional information, see Note 2Discontinued Operations, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Net interest consists of interest and financing expense, net of interest income and capitalized interest, as well as premiums incurred on the early retirement of debt. Net interest increased 24 percent in the second quarter and 37 percent in the six-month period of 2014 compared with the same periods in 2013, mainly as a result of lower capitalized interest on projects sold or completed and lower interest income.
Technology includes our investment in new technologies or businesses, as well as licensing revenues received. Activities are focused on heavy oil and oil sands, unconventional reservoirs, LNG, and subsurface, arctic and deepwater technologies, with an underlying commitment to environmental responsibility. Losses from Technology were $20 million in the second quarter and $48 million in the six-month period of 2014, compared with earnings of $41 million and $33 million, respectively, in the same periods of 2013. The reduction in earnings primarily resulted from lower licensing revenues and higher research and development expenses.
The category Other includes certain foreign currency transaction gains and losses, environmental costs associated with sites no longer in operation, and other costs not directly associated with an operating segment. Other expenses decreased 50 percent in the second quarter and 44 percent in the six-month period of 2014, primarily as a result of foreign currency transaction gains in both periods of 2014, compared with foreign currency transaction losses in both periods of 2013. These reductions to expense were partially offset by higher environmental expenses.

To meet our short- and long-term liquidity requirements, we look to a variety of funding sources. Cash generated from continuing operating activities is the primary source of funding. During the first six months of 2014, the primary uses of our available cash were $8,141 million to support our ongoing capital expenditures and investments program, $1,711 million to pay dividends and $450 million to repay debt. During the first six months of 2014, cash and cash equivalents decreased by $104 million, to $6,142 million.
In addition to cash flows from operating activities, we rely on our commercial paper and credit facility programs and our shelf registration statement to support our short- and long-term liquidity requirements. We believe current cash balances and cash generated by operations, together with access to external sources of funds as described below in the Significant Sources of Capital section, will be sufficient to meet our funding requirements in the near- and long-term, including our capital spending program, dividend payments and required debt payments.
Significant Sources of Capital
Operating Activities
Cash provided by continuing operating activities was $9,841 million for the first six months of 2014, compared with $8,297 million for the corresponding period of 2013, a 19 percent increase. The increase was primarily due to the $1.3 billion distribution from FCCL in the first quarter of 2014. This distribution resulted from our $2.8 billion prepayment of the remaining joint venture acquisition obligation in 2013, which substantially increased the financial flexibility of our 50 percent owned FCCL Partnership. We do not expect this individually significant distribution to recur in the future under current economic conditions.
While the stability of our cash flows from operating activities benefits from geographic diversity, our short- and long-term operating cash flows are highly dependent upon prices for crude oil, bitumen, natural gas, LNG and natural gas liquids. 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 absolute production volumes, as well as product and location mix, impacts our cash flows. Production levels are impacted by such factors as acquisitions and dispositions of fields, field production decline rates, new technologies, operating efficiencies, weather conditions, the addition of proved reserves through exploratory success, and their timely and cost-effective development. While we actively manage 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.
Asset Sales
On July 30, 2014, we sold our Nigeria upstream affiliates for net proceeds of approximately $1.4 billion, after customary adjustments, inclusive of deposits previously received. In 2013, we sold our Algeria business and
43
our interest in Kashagan. Results of operations related to Nigeria, Algeria and Kashagan have been classified as discontinued operations in all periods presented in this Form 10-Q. For additional information, see Note 2Discontinued Operations, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. We continue to evaluate opportunities to further optimize the portfolio.
Commercial Paper and Credit Facilities
On June 23, 2014, we refinanced our revolving credit facility from a total of $7.5 billion to $7.0 billion, with a new expiration date of June 2019. Our revolving credit facility may be used for direct bank borrowings, for the issuance of letters of credit totaling up to $500 million, or as support for our commercial paper programs. 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.
Credit facility borrowings may bear interest at a margin above rates offered by certain designated banks in the London interbank market as administered by ICE Benchmark Administration or at a margin above the overnight federal funds rate or prime rates offered by certain designated banks in the United States. The agreement calls for commitment fees on available, but unused, amounts. The agreement also contains early termination rights if our current directors or their approved successors cease to be a majority of the Board of Directors.
Our primary funding source for short-term working capital needs is the ConocoPhillips $6.35 billion commercial paper program. Commercial paper maturities are generally limited to 90 days. We also have the ConocoPhillips Qatar Funding Ltd. $1.15 billion commercial paper program, which is used to fund commitments relating to QG3. At both June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had no direct borrowings or letters of credit issued under the revolving credit facility. In addition, under the ConocoPhillips Qatar Funding Ltd. commercial paper program, $912 million of commercial paper was outstanding at June 30, 2014, compared with $961 million at December 31, 2013. Since we had $912 million of commercial paper outstanding and had issued no letters of credit, we had access to $6.1 billion in borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility at June 30, 2014.
Certain of our project-related 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, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had direct bank letters of credit of $638 million and $827 million, respectively, which secured performance obligations related to various purchase commitments incident to the ordinary conduct of business.
Shelf Registration
We have a universal shelf registration statement on file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission under which we, as a well-known seasoned issuer, have the ability to issue and sell an indeterminate amount of various types of debt and equity securities.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As part of our normal ongoing business operations and consistent with normal industry practice, we enter into numerous agreements with other parties to pursue business opportunities, which share costs and apportion risks among the parties as governed by the agreements.
For information about guarantees, see Note 9Guarantees, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, which is incorporated herein by reference.
44
Capital Requirements
For information about our capital expenditures and investments, see the Capital Spending section.
Our debt balance at June 30, 2014, was $21.2 billion, a decrease of $428 million from the balance at December 31, 2013. Our short-term debt balance at June 30, 2014, increased $1.1 billion compared with December 31, 2013, primarily as a result of the timing of scheduled maturities. During the first six months of 2014, we repaid notes at maturity totaling $400 million. For more information, see Note 7Debt, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
In May 2014, we announced a dividend of 69 cents per share. The dividend was paid June 2, 2014, to stockholders of record at the close of business on May 23, 2014. In July 2014, we announced a 5.8 percent increase in the quarterly dividend rate to 73 cents per share. The dividend will be paid September 2, 2014, to stockholders of record at the close of business on July 21, 2014.

Contingencies
A number of lawsuits involving a variety of claims arising in the ordinary course of business have been made 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 minimum of the range is accrued. We do not reduce these liabilities for potential insurance or third-party recoveries. If applicable, we accrue receivables for probable insurance or other third-party recoveries. 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. For information on other contingencies, see Note 10Contingencies and Commitments, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Legal Matters
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, personal injury, and property damage. Our primary exposures for such matters relate to alleged royalty underpayments on certain Federal, State and privately owned properties and claims of alleged environmental contamination from historic operations. 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, are required.
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 Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations on pages 6365 of our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
We occasionally receive requests for information or notices of potential liability from the Environmental Protection Agency (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 wastes attributable to our past
46
operations. As of December 31, 2013, we reported we had been notified of potential liability under CERCLA and comparable state laws at 15 sites around the United States. As of June 30, 2014, there was no change in the number of sites.
At June 30, 2014, our balance sheet included a total environmental accrual of $378 million, compared with $348 million at December 31, 2013, for remediation activities in the United States and Canada. We expect to incur a substantial amount of these expenditures within the next 30 years.
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.
Climate Change
There has been a broad range of proposed or promulgated state, national and international laws focusing on greenhouse gas (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. Examples of legislation and precursors for possible regulation that do or could affect our operations include the EPAs announcement on March 29, 2010 (published as Interpretation of Regulations that Determine Pollutants Covered by Clean Air Act Permitting Programs, 75 Fed. Reg. 17004 (April 2, 2010)) and the EPAs and U.S. Department of Transportations joint promulgation of a Final Rule on April 1, 2010, that trigger regulation of GHGs under the Clean Air Act, may trigger more climate-based claims for damages, and may result in longer agency review time for development projects.
For other 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 Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations on pages 6566 of our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Information about market risks for the six months ended June 30, 2014, does not differ materially from that discussed under Item 7A in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that 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 June 30, 2014, with the participation of our management, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and our Executive Vice President, Finance 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, Finance and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were operating effectively as of June 30, 2014.
There have been no 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.

The following is a description of reportable legal proceedings including those involving governmental authorities under federal, state and local laws regulating the discharge of materials into the environment for this reporting period. The following proceedings include those matters that arose during the second quarter of 2014 and any material developments with respect to matters previously reported in ConocoPhillips 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K. While it is not possible to accurately predict the final outcome of these pending proceedings, if any one or more of such proceedings were to be decided adversely to ConocoPhillips, we expect there would be no material effect on our consolidated financial position. Nevertheless, such proceedings are reported pursuant to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulations.
On April 30, 2012, the separation of our downstream businesses was completed, creating two independent energy companies: ConocoPhillips and Phillips 66. In connection with the separation, we entered into an Indemnification and Release Agreement, which provides for cross-indemnities between Phillips 66 and us and established procedures for handling claims subject to indemnification and related matters, such as legal proceedings. We have included matters where we remain or have subsequently become a party to a proceeding relating to Phillips 66, in accordance with SEC regulations. We do not expect any of those matters to result in a net claim against us.
New MattersConocoPhillips
The New Mexico Environment Department has issued a Notice of Violation (NOV) to ConocoPhillips alleging failure to comply with two air emission monitoring requirements at the East Vacuum Liquid Recovery/CO2 Plant in southeastern New Mexico. The agency is seeking a penalty of over $100,000. The Plant has corrected these issues and is working with the agency to resolve the NOV.
New MattersPhillips 66
The Phillips 66 Wood River Refinery has received a NOV from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) alleging various flaring-related violations between 2009 and 2013. It is anticipated the EPA will seek the installation of additional flare controls and yet to be determined penalties as part of any settlement.
On July 8, 2014, the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (District) issued a $175,000 demand to settle 18 NOVs issued in 2010 with respect to alleged violations of regulatory and/or permit requirements at the Phillips 66 Rodeo Refinery.
On July 8, 2014, the District issued a $259,000 demand to settle 20 NOVs issued in 2011 with respect to alleged violations of regulatory and/or permit requirements at the Phillips 66 Rodeo Refinery.
There have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in Item 1A of our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
