About the company
ConocoPhillips explores for, drills and produces crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids, which it sells to refiners, utilities and energy traders around the world. Most of its output comes from shale basins across the continental United States, where its crews drill long horizontal wells and fracture tight rock to release oil and gas. It also runs conventional onshore fields and offshore production platforms in Canada, Norway and other countries, and it earns its money from the market price of each barrel and cubic foot it sells. ConocoPhillips was formed in 2002 when Conoco and Phillips Petroleum merged, and it is based in Houston, Texas.

Simplify's Take
What believers are saying
- Profits doubled: adjusted earnings for the quarter ended June 2026 reached $4.0 billion, up from $1.8 billion.
- Insiders reach the top: CEO Andy O'Brien, who joined Conoco in 1997, took over in September 2026.
- Alaska gas gets a buyer: a 30-year deal signed in May 2026 supplies North Slope gas to Alaska LNG.
What critics are saying
- War hits LNG output: conflict curbed Qatar's Ras Laffan plants in March 2026, removing Qatar volumes from guidance.
- Big bets pay back slowly: Willow in Alaska was half built in April 2026, with first oil in 2029.
- Job security is shaky: it planned to cut up to 25% of roughly 13,000 workers, with exits from December 2025.
What makes ConocoPhillips unique
- A pure producer: it spun off refining as Phillips 66 in 2012, so it has no refineries or fuel stations.
- It owns Alaska's oil heartland: it is the state's largest oil producer, with hubs at Prudhoe Bay and Kuparuk.
- Shale scale came by acquisition: the $22.5 billion Marathon Oil purchase added Eagle Ford, Bakken and Permian acreage.
