You should carefully consider the following risk factors in addition to the other information included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
If any of these risks or other risks that are yet unknown or currently considered immaterial were to occur, our business, operating results and financial condition, as well as the value of an investment in our common stock, could be materially and adversely affected.
Among the most significant factors impacting the Company’s revenues, operating results and future rate of growth are the sales prices for crude oil, bitumen, LNG, natural gas and NGL.
These prices can fluctuate widely, and many of the factors influencing the prices are beyond our control.
Between January 2020 and December 2022, WTI crude oil prices ranged from a low of a negative $38 per barrel in April 2020 to a high of $124 per barrel in March 2022.
Given the volatility in commodity price drivers and the worldwide political and economic environment, including potential economic slowdowns or recessions, as well as increased uncertainty generated by recent (and potential future) armed hostilities in various oil-producing regions around the globe, prices for crude oil, bitumen, LNG, natural gas and NGLs may continue to be volatile.
Low commodity prices could have a material adverse effect on our revenues, operating income, cash flows and liquidity, and may also affect the amount of dividends we elect to declare and pay on our common stock and the amount of shares we elect to acquire as part of the share repurchase program and the timing of such acquisitions.
Lower prices may also limit the amount of reserves we can produce economically, thus adversely affecting our proved reserves and reserve replacement ratio and accelerating the reduction in our existing reserve levels as we continue production from upstream fields.
Prolonged depressed prices may affect strategic decisions related to our operations, including decisions to reduce capital investments or curtail operated production.
Significant reductions in crude oil, bitumen, LNG, natural gas and NGL prices could also require us to reduce our capital expenditures, impair the carrying value of our assets or discontinue the classification of certain assets as proved reserves.
Although it is not reasonably practicable to quantify the impact of any future impairments or estimated change to our unit-of-production rates at this time, our results of operations could be adversely affected as a result.
If we are not successful in replacing the resources we produce with good prospects for future organic development or through acquisitions, our business will decline.
In addition, our ability to successfully develop our reserves is dependent on a number of factors, including our ability to successfully navigate political and regulatory challenges to obtain and renew rights to develop and produce hydrocarbons; our success at reservoir optimization; our ability to bring long-lead time, capital intensive projects to completion on budget and on schedule; and our ability to efficiently and profitably operate mature properties.
If we are not successful in developing the resources in our portfolio, our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.
We compete with private, public and state-owned companies in all facets of the exploration and production business, including to locate and obtain new sources of supply and to produce crude oil, bitumen, natural gas and NGLs in an efficient, cost-effective manner.
In addition, as the energy transition progresses, we anticipate the oil and gas industry will face additional competition from alternative fuels.
We must compete for the materials, equipment, services, employees and other personnel (including geologists, geophysicists, engineers and other specialists) necessary to conduct our business.
If we are not successful in our competition, our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

| | | | | | |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
Our ability to successfully execute on our energy transition plans is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties and may be costly to achieve.
In 2020, we announced our Paris-aligned climate risk framework, including an ambition to achieve net-zero emissions on operational emissions by 2050.
In 2022, we published our Plan for the Net-Zero Energy Transition (the “Plan”) and continued to set increasingly ambitious targets around emissions and flaring.
Our ability to achieve stated targets, goals and ambitions is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties out of our control, including the pace of development of currently undeveloped technologies, policies and markets, as well as potential regulations that may impair our ability to execute on current or future plans.
Furthermore, we are still in the planning stages, and execution could be costly and have unforeseen obstacles.
We may be required to purchase emission credits, and there may be insufficient offsets to achieve our goals.
As advanced technologies are developed to accurately measure emissions, we may be required to revise our emissions estimates and reduction goals.
We may be adversely affected and potentially need to reduce economic end-of-field life of certain assets and impair associated net book value due to the emissions intensity of some of our assets.
Even if we meet our goals, our efforts may be characterized as insufficient.
In 2021, we established our Low-Carbon Technologies organization to identify and evaluate business opportunities that address end-use emissions and early-stage low-carbon technology opportunities that would leverage our existing expertise and adjacencies.
While we perform a thorough analysis on these investments, the related technologies and markets are at early stages of development and we do not yet know what rate of return we will achieve.
The success of our low-carbon strategy will in part be dependent upon the cooperation of agencies, the support of stakeholders, the success of our investments, and our ability to apply our existing strengths and expertise.
Our proved reserve information included in this annual report represents management’s best estimates based on assumptions, as of a specified date, of the volumes to be recovered from underground accumulations of crude oil, bitumen, natural gas and NGLs.
Any material changes in the factors and assumptions underlying our estimates of these items could result in a material negative impact to the volume of reserves reported or could cause us to incur impairment expenses on property associated with the production of those reserves.
Future reserve revisions could also result from changes in, among other things, governmental regulation and commodity prices.
Our business may be adversely affected by price controls, government-imposed limitations on production or exports of crude oil, bitumen, LNG, natural gas and NGLs, or the unavailability of adequate gathering, processing, compression, transportation, and pipeline facilities and equipment for our production of crude oil, bitumen, natural gas and NGLs.
From time to time, regulatory agencies have imposed price controls and limitations on production by restricting the rate of flow of crude oil, bitumen, natural gas and NGL wells below actual production capacity.
Similarly, in response to increased domestic energy costs, circumstances determined to be in the economic interest of the country, or a declared national emergency, governments could restrict the export or import of our products which would adversely impact our business.
You should carefully

Readers are cautioned that such forward-looking statements should be read in conjunction with the company’s disclosures under the heading: “CAUTIONARY STATEMENT FOR THE PURPOSES OF THE ‘SAFE HARBOR’ PROVISIONS OF THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995,” beginning on page* *[63](#i97d6a5a21f0b4e07bc407797f215290e_160).*
Our diverse, low cost of supply portfolio includes resource-rich unconventional plays in North America; conventional assets in North America, Europe, Africa and Asia; LNG developments; oil sands assets in Canada; and an inventory of global conventional and unconventional exploration prospects.
Headquartered in Houston, Texas, at December 31, 2022, we employed approximately 9,500 people worldwide and had total assets of $94 billion.
In 2022, the energy landscape continued to improve with commodity prices ultimately reaching a 10-year high before decreasing in the second half of the year due to macroeconomic concerns.
Our view is that a successful business strategy in the E&P industry must be resilient in lower price environments while also retaining upside during periods of higher prices.
As such, we are unhedged, remain highly disciplined in our investment decisions and continually monitor market fundamentals, including the impacts associated with the conflict in Ukraine, OPEC Plus supply updates, global demand for our products, oil and gas inventory levels, governmental policies, inflation, supply chain disruptions and the fluctuating global COVID-19 impacts.
We believe ConocoPhillips will continue to play an essential role by executing on three objectives: responsibly meeting energy transition pathway demand, delivering competitive returns on and of capital and achieving our net-zero operational emissions ambition.
We call this our Triple Mandate, and it represents our commitment to create long-term value for our stakeholders.
Our value proposition to deliver competitive returns to stockholders through price cycles is guided by foundational principles that support our Triple Mandate.
Our foundational principles consist of maintaining balance sheet strength, providing peer-leading distributions, making disciplined investments, and demonstrating responsible and reliable ESG performance.
Our actions throughout 2022 reinforced our differential value proposition.
Demonstrating our commitment to maintaining and enhancing balance sheet strength, in 2022, we executed several activities focused on debt reduction, including early retiring and refinancing some of our debt.
In aggregate, these transactions along with naturally maturing debt reduced the company's total debt by $3.3 billion.
These activities facilitate our ability to achieve our previously announced $5 billion debt reduction target by the end of 2026, while also reducing the company's annual cash interest expense.

Total company production in 2022 was 1,738 MBOED, yielding cash provided by operating activities of $28.3 billion.
We invested $10.2 billion into the business in the form of capital expenditures and investments and provided returns of capital to shareholders of approximately $15.0 billion through our ordinary dividend, share repurchases and our VROC.
For 2022, we returned $2.4 billion from our ordinary dividend, which included an increase from 46 cents per share to 51 cents per share, effective in December.
We also returned $3.3 billion to shareholders from the VROC in 2022.
In the first quarter of 2022, we completed the paced monetization program of our Cenovus Energy (CVE) common shares and used the proceeds for a portion of our share repurchase program.
In total for 2022, we returned $9.3 billion to shareholders through share repurchases.
In October 2022, our Board of Directors approved an increase to our share repurchase authorization, increasing it from $25 billion to $45 billion to support our plan for future share repurchases.
As of December 31, 2022, we have repurchased $23.4 billion of the $45 billion authorized share repurchase program.
In February 2023, we announced our 2023 planned return of capital to shareholders of $11 billion through our three-tier return of capital framework.
We also declared a first quarter ordinary dividend of $0.51 cents per share and a VROC of $0.60 cents per share.
In 2022, we took several steps to expand our global LNG business.
In the first quarter, we increased our equity share in Australia Pacific LNG (APLNG) by 10 percent to 47.5 percent.
*[See Note](#i97d6a5a21f0b4e07bc407797f215290e_202) 3*[.](#i97d6a5a21f0b4e07bc407797f215290e_202) We were also awarded a 25 percent interest in each of two new joint ventures with QatarEnergy that will participate in the North Field East (NFE) and North Field South (NFS) LNG projects.
Formation of the NFE joint venture (QG8) closed in December 2022 and we anticipate that the formation of the NFS joint venture (QG12) will close in early 2023.
Also, in 2022, we executed a 15-year regasification agreement at the recently announced German LNG Terminal at Brunsbuttel.
Domestically, in November 2022, we entered into several agreements with Sempra entities in connection with the Port Arthur LNG (PALNG) facility, including a Sales and Purchase Agreement for 5 MTPA of LNG offtake at the start-up of Phase 1 of the PALNG facility, and an Equity Sale and Purchase Agreement, whereby we will acquire 30 percent of the equity in Phase 1 of Port Arthur LNG.
Development of the PALNG facility is subject to completing required commercial agreements and resolving a number of risks and uncertainties, obtaining financing and reaching a final investment decision, among other factors.
As part of our ongoing portfolio high-grading and optimization efforts, in the first quarter of 2022, we completed two transactions in our Asia Pacific segment, including the above-mentioned acquisition of additional interest in APLNG as well as the sale of our interests in Indonesia.

We and certain of our subsidiaries hold and issue derivative contracts and financial instruments that expose our cash flows or earnings to changes in commodity prices, foreign currency exchange rates or interest rates.
We may use financial and commodity-based derivative contracts to manage the risks produced by changes in the prices of natural gas, crude oil and related products; fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates; or to capture market opportunities.
Our use of derivative instruments is governed by an “Authority Limitations” document approved by our Board of Directors that prohibits the use of highly leveraged derivatives or derivative instruments without sufficient liquidity.
The Authority Limitations document also establishes the Value at Risk (VaR) limits for the company, and compliance with these limits is monitored daily.
The Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, who reports to the Chief Executive Officer, monitors commodity price risk and risks resulting from foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates.
Our Commercial organization uses futures, forwards, swaps and options in various markets to accomplish the following objectives:
- Consistent with our policy to generally remain exposed to market prices, we use swap contracts to convert fixed-price sales contracts, which are often requested by natural gas consumers, to floating market prices.
- Enable us to use market knowledge to capture opportunities such as moving physical commodities to more profitable locations and storing commodities to capture seasonal or time premiums.
We may use derivatives to optimize these activities.
We use a VaR model to estimate the loss in fair value that could potentially result on a single day from the effect of adverse changes in market conditions on the derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity contracts we hold or issue, including commodity purchases and sales contracts recorded on the balance sheet at December 31, 2022.
Using Monte Carlo simulation, a 95 percent confidence level and a one-day holding period, the VaR for those instruments issued or held for trading purposes or held for purposes other than trading at December 31, 2022 and 2021, was immaterial to our consolidated cash flows and net income attributable to ConocoPhillips.

The following table provides information about our debt instruments that are sensitive to changes in U.S. interest rates.
A hypothetical 10 percent change in prevailing interest rates would not have a material impact on interest expense associated with our floating-rate debt.
Changes to prevailing interest rates would not impact our cash flows associated with fixed rate debt, unless we elect to repurchase or retire such debt prior to maturity.

We are a defendant in a number of legal and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including those involving governmental authorities under federal, state and local laws regulating the discharge of materials into the environment.
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 not be a material effect to our consolidated financial position.
ConocoPhillips has elected to use a $1 million threshold for disclosing certain proceedings arising under federal, state or local environmental laws when a governmental authority is a party.
ConocoPhillips believes proceedings under this threshold are not material to ConocoPhillips' business and financial condition.
Applying this threshold, there are no such proceedings to disclose for the year ended December 31, 2022.

The following graph shows the cumulative TSR for ConocoPhillips’ common stock in each of the five years from December 31, 2017 to December 31, 2022.
The graph also compares the cumulative total returns for the same five-year period with the S&P 500 Index and our performance peer group consisting of Chevron, ExxonMobil, Apache, Marathon Oil Corporation, Devon, Occidental, Hess, and EOG weighted according to the respective peer’s stock market capitalization at the beginning of each annual period.
The comparison assumes $100 was invested on December 31, 2017, in ConocoPhillips stock, the S&P 500 Index and ConocoPhillips’ peer group and assumes that all dividends were reinvested.

Management prepared, and is responsible for, the consolidated financial statements and the other information appearing in this annual report.
The consolidated financial statements present fairly the company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
In preparing its consolidated financial statements, the company includes amounts that are based on estimates and judgments management believes are reasonable under the circumstances.
The company’s financial statements have been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm appointed by the Audit and Finance Committee of the Board of Directors and ratified by stockholders.
Management has made available to Ernst & Young LLP all of the company’s financial records and related data, as well as the minutes of stockholders’ and directors’ meetings.
Management is also responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.
ConocoPhillips’ internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to the company’s management and directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements.
Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
In making this assessment, it used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in *Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013).* Based on our assessment, we believe the company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2022.
Ernst & Young LLP has issued an audit report on the company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, and their report is included herein.
