The Other International segment and Exploration cover a balanced, global portfolio of high-quality conventional and unconventional exploration opportunities.

ConocoPhillips has proved reserves of approximately 8.2 billion barrels of oil equivalent (BOE) and a large, diverse, low-cost-of-supply resource base that provides the company with significant flexibility for future growth.

In mid-2015, ConocoPhillips announced plans to reduce future spending on deepwater exploration and is currently pursuing a phased exit. This decision will provide increasing capital flexibility over time. The company continues to assess high-quality conventional and unconventional exploration opportunities that will underpin long-term, organic growth plans.

In December 2015, the company completed the sale of its interest in the Polar Lights joint venture and exited Russia.

The FAN-1 and SNE-1 exploration wells were drilled in 2014. The oil discoveries opened a new basin on the Atlantic Margin.

The FAN-1 well, located in the Sangomar Deep Block, encountered a gross oil bearing interval of more than 500 meters. The second exploration well, SNE-1, confirmed hydrocarbons approximately 15 miles away.

The two discoveries are currently being evaluated and an exploration and appraisal drilling program commenced in the fourth quarter of 2015. The first well in this program, SNE-2, confirmed the accumulation and was successfully flow tested in the fourth quarter of 2015.

ConocoPhillips has the option to become operator if the project advances to development.

IndonesiaThe Kualakurun PSC was signed in May 2015. This onshore exploration block is located in Central Kalimantan. The first three-year phase of the exploration program will include airborne gravity gradiometry and a 2-D seismic program.

NorwayBarents Sea and North SeaIn 2015, ConocoPhillips participated in four nonoperated exploration and appraisal wells in the Oseberg, Visund and Aasta Hansteen areas. Two discoveries in the Oseberg area are currently producing; the other two wells were also discoveries and are currently undergoing evaluation.

The company was awarded two exploration licenses, PL044C and PL782S, in early 2015. ConocoPhillips was also awarded two additional licenses, PL845 and PL782SB, in early 2016.

United KingdomNorth Sea ConocoPhillips drilled one operated exploration well north of the Jasmine Field in the Central Graben in early 2015. The well was subsequently expensed as a dry hole. The company also participated in a nonoperated exploration well in the Greater Clair Area, which was successful and is currently undergoing evaluation. Two new licenses were awarded in the U.K. 28th licensing round in the East Irish Sea.

AustraliaBrowse and Bonaparte Basins In 2006, ConocoPhillips farmed into permit WA-315-P and jointly acquired permit WA-398-P. The three-well, Phase I drilling program successfully encountered hydrocarbons. The Phase II drilling campaign was completed in 2014 where five wells were drilled in these permits and all discovered hydrocarbons.

Also in Australia, the NT/RL6 and NT/RL5 permits are located offshore Northern Territory in the Timor Sea approximately 160 miles north-northwest of Darwin. The Caldita-1 discovery well in NT/RL6 was drilled in 2005, and the Barossa-1 discovery well in NT/RL5 in 2006. A retention lease over the Barossa discovery was awarded in October 2012, and the Caldita discovery in May 2013. In 2012, ConocoPhillips farmed down its interest from 60 percent to 37.5 percent. A three-well appraisal program to further evaluate the fields’ potential was completed in March 2015. The first two wells, Barossa-2 and Barossa-3 both encountered hydrocarbons. The final well, Barossa-4, was not commercially viable.

ChinaIn 2015, the company participated in two successful appraisal wells in the Penglai fields. These will be used to support future development plans.

TCAUTIONARY STATEMENTThis fact sheet contains forward-looking statements. We based the forward-looking statements on our current expectations, estimates and projections about ourselves and the industries in which we operate in general. We caution you these statements are not guarantees of future performance as they involve assumptions that, while made in good faith, may prove to be incorrect, and involve risks and uncertainties we cannot predict. In addition, we based many of these forward-looking statements on assumptions about future events that may prove to be inaccurate. Accordingly, our actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what we have expressed or forecast in the forward-looking statements. Economic, business, competitive and other regulatory factors that may affect ConocoPhillips’ business are set forth in ConocoPhillips’ filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (including in Item 1A of our Form 10-K), which may be accessed at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Definition of resources: ConocoPhillips uses the term “resources” in this document. The company estimates its total resources based on a system developed by the Society of Petroleum Engineers that classifies recoverable hydrocarbons into six categories based on their status at the time of reporting. Three (proved, probable and possible reserves) are deemed commercial and three others are deemed noncommercial or contingent. The company’s resource estimate encompasses volumes associated with all six categories. The SEC permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only proved, probable and possible reserves. We use the term “resource” in this fact sheet that the SEC’s guidelines prohibit us from including in filings with the SEC. U.S. investors are urged to consider closely the oil and gas disclosure in our Form 10-K and other reports and filings with the SEC.
