ConocoPhillips focuses
on disciplined plan in
challenging environments
It is a challenging time for the oil and gas business. The downturn in commodity
prices has hit the entire industry hard, and few people expect prices to reverse
anytime soon. ConocoPhillips responded by quickly adjusting our plans, while
remaining focused on executing the aspects of the business that we control.
Chairman & CEO Ryan Lance recently reported on our short-, mid- and long-term

Changes to medical benefits for post-65 retirees
Beginning in 2016, the company will
no longer provide a company subsidy
to participants who turn 65 and
transition to post-65 retiree Medicare
Supplement Insurance Plans with
UnitedHealthcare (UHC). However,
even without the company subsidy,
pre-65 retirees moving into similar
post-65 retiree medical benefits will see
reduced premiums.
The company routinely evaluates its
benefit plans for coverage, costs and
competitiveness. Our assessments
show that UHC’s Medicare Supplement
Insurance Plans have become more
affordable, while also providing
improved benefits coverage. These
improvements can be partially
attributed to health care reform.
What does this mean for you?
•If you’re currently eligible for the
pre-65 retiree medical plan, there
are no changes to the subsidy
provisions in that plan. However, if
you turn 65 on or after Jan. 1, 2016,
and move to the post-65 retiree
medical plan, you will not continue
to receive a company subsidy.
•If you’re already a participant in
the post-65 retiree medical plan,
you will continue to receive the
company subsidy toward the cost
of your UHC Medicare Supplement
plan in 2016.
•Over the next 10 years (by January
2026), the company subsidy will
be phased out for participants
(covered by Dec. 31, 2015) in the
post-65 retiree medical plan.
•If you have an eligible dependent
who is under 65 as of Jan. 1, 2016, he
or she will not receive a company
subsidy upon transition to the post65 retiree medical plan.
Although you’re not required to
take any action, we encourage you
to review the Summary of Material
Modifications we distributed to retirees
in September with additional details
about these changes.
Should you have any questions, you can
either attend a Retiree Benefits Road Show
(see the back page of this newsletter for the
complete list of dates and locations) or you
may call a Benefits Center representative at
800-622-5501 or 718-354-1344, from 8 a.m.
to 6 p.m. CDT, Monday through Friday.
Mark your calendar and make plans
to attend a Retiree Benefits Road
Show this fall. The ConocoPhillips
U.S. Benefits team will present
an overview of pre and post-65
retiree health care benefits as well
as review changes for 2016. They
will share tips to help you make
decisions about your benefits and
you’ll have the opportunity to ask
the team questions. This year’s
Annual Benefits Enrollment begins
Oct. 23 and ends at midnight
Central time on Nov. 13, 2015.
The Open Enrollment for post-65
retirees’ Medicare drug coverage is
Oct. 15 to Dec. 7, 2015.
Challenging environments (continued)
approach to our business in this environment.
“When prices began to fall, we moved quickly, taking
decisive steps to position our company for lower,
more volatile prices by exercising capital flexibility and
reducing costs company-wide,” said Lance. “We started
in October 2014 with a capital plan to spend $16 billion.
We stepped it down to $13.5 billion in December. By
April, we had reduced our estimated annual spend to
$11.5 billion for three years and launched our $1 billion
cost reduction challenge.”
COST Project
Lance recently introduced the Cost Optimization
Sustainability Team (COST), tasked with identifying ways
to refocus ConocoPhillips’ business for a future of relatively
low, volatile commodity prices. Leading the COST Project
is Michael Hatfield, formerly vice president of the Rockies
business unit. Hatfield reports to Don Wallette, executive
vice president, Commercial, Business Development &
Corporate Planning.
“This project represents a significant opportunity to
reassess and change how we manage our business,”
said Lance. “By undertaking this project, I am confident
that we will position ConocoPhillips to thrive in any price
environment for years to come.”
Lance acknowledges that the COST Project will
mean significant change for the organization. Those
changes were announced late in the third quarter with
implementation planned for the fourth quarter.
Reduced deepwater exploration
spending
The company recently announced its decision to reduce
future deepwater exploration spending.
“This was a very difficult decision,” said Lance. “But it
will further increase our capital flexibility and reduce
expenses. This should strengthen our ability to achieve
cash flow neutrality in 2017 even if lower commodity
prices persist.”
Lance emphasized that the deepwater team has
performed extremely well and commented that
the company has achieved notable success in the
deepwater program, particularly in the Gulf of Mexico
Lower Tertiary play and offshore Senegal.

Emergency preparedness at ConocoPhillips
“We are committed to delivering the value we have
created from these discoveries, while reducing the
number of deepwater exploratory prospects we drill in
the future,” Lance said. “But put simply, the deepwater
exploration growth engine doesn’t compete with our
captured resource inventory, especially in the low price
environment.”
The company has also terminated its contract for the
Ensco DS-9 deepwater drill ship that was scheduled
for delivery to the Gulf of Mexico in late 2015 to begin
drilling the company’s operated deepwater inventory.
Stock prices
Lance acknowledged that the company’s share price
performance is adding to the anxiety level among
shareholders.
“Some of what is driving the shares is beyond our
control, which makes it especially important to deliver
upon the things we do control,” Lance said. “We’ve got
a lot more work to do. The second half of the year will
have its share of challenges and difficult decisions.”
Moving forward
Lance noted that the company will continue to pursue
organic growth through more focused exploration
programs.
“With increased capital flexibility, we can direct more
investment to our captured resource base of 44 billion
barrels of oil equivalent, which includes significant
identified inventory in the highest value areas of the Eagle
Ford, Bakken, Permian and Western Canada unconventional
plays, as well as our legacy businesses around the world,”
Lance said.
In closing, Lance reinforced the company’s ongoing
commitments to safety and execution, as well as his
confidence in the workforce.
“We know that at some point this cycle will turn, and we
want to be the company with the vision, assets, people
and reputation to thrive. That means knowing how to
adapt; having a great set of assets that can deliver profitable
growth and returns; having a workforce that is nimble; and
protecting our reputation for being a company that lives
by its SPIRIT Values. We know we have to change, but we
won’t change our SPIRIT Values.”
Emergency preparedness at ConocoPhillips
Along with an intense focus on incident prevention,
ConocoPhillips employs a systematic multi-tiered
approach to crisis management.
“If we do have an unplanned event, it’s critical that we
have the proper equipment, people and processes to
respond,” said Mike Ferrow, vice president, Health, Safety
& Environment. “Building our emergency response
capability is critical to our continuous pursuit of safe
operations.”
For any incident, the company’s response priorities are
people, the environment, assets and its reputation, in
this order. The program includes an incident notification
process to ensure early awareness at the proper levels and
to the appropriate individuals. ConocoPhillips works to
the internationally accepted Incident Command System
(ICS) to provide a standardized, structured, and ideally,
a predictable process to manage unplanned events as
efficiently as practicable. ICS is based upon the National
Incident Management System (NIMS), used by many local,
state and federal response entities as well.
When an unplanned event occurs, the business unit owns
the incident and all other ConocoPhillips resources are
focused to help it mitigate the consequences and return
to normal operations. Most events are small and are
handled quickly and safely at the worksite or business unit
level by well-trained local teams.
“The basic premise of our model is that no single business
is expected to manage a large, protracted event and
concurrently manage their day-to-day business,” said
Josh Soybel, manager, Crisis Management & Emergency
Response. “For this reason, we maintain a modestly-sized,
but well-trained, volunteer response team that can be
accessed and leveraged, per the scalable ICS model, to
supplement a business unit response team if required.”
In addition to internal resources, ConocoPhillips subscribes
to surface and sub-sea oil spill and emergency response
entities and participates in mutual aid agreements that
can further augment a response if ever needed.
“Prevention is always our first line of defense; however,
we must be prepared to respond,” Ferrow said. “As
a responsible operator, we must be fully prepared.
Our commitment to the safety of our people, the
environment and operational excellence is the highest
importance.”

In Memoriam includes the names of deceased ConocoPhillips employees and retirees as submitted
quarterly by Hewitt Associates to ConocoPhillips. Unfortunately, we are unable to accept death notices

Your guide to choosing the right level of care
When you or a family member suffers an accident
or illness, your first inclination may be to rush to the
nearest hospital emergency room (ER). That is the right
choice in serious or life-threatening conditions. Use of
an ER for non-emergency conditions, however, incurs
higher rate charges. Choosing the appropriate option
for your situation will save you time and money.
Urgent Care
Teladoc
Hospital based ERs are the best place to seek care if you
have a true medical emergency.
A telephonic medical consultation available 24/7 for
acute health issues. Teladoc doctors can diagnose,
recommend treatment and prescribe medication,
when necessary. Take 10 minutes to set up your
account online now.
Your Physician’s Office
If the situation is not urgent or if the issue is related
to an ongoing condition for which you are already
being treated, make an appointment with your family
physician.
CVS Minute Clinic
Nurse practitioners and physician assistants at these
walk-in clinics can diagnose, treat and write prescriptions
for common illnesses and treat minor wounds, abrasions,
joint sprains and skin conditions. Show your Aetna card.
Local urgent care centers can provide treatment for
injuries that require stitches, sprains and broken bones
at a fraction of the cost, and often with shorter waiting
times.
Hospital based ERs
Stand-alone ERs
ERs that are not attached to a larger hospital are a new
health care trend, especially in urban areas. Like their
hospital-based counterparts, they come with a high
price tag for services. If you seek treatment for a nonemergency condition you end up paying top dollar
for everyday medical care. And if you do have a true
medical emergency that requires hospitalization you
may need to take an ambulance to a hospital-based ER,
incurring even more charges.
Making informed choices about how and where you
receive medical care is all part of taking an active role in
your health. The more you know, the better chance you
have of getting the right care, at the right price, for both
you and ConocoPhillips.

Make your voice heard
Keeping in touch
Make your voice heard on crude oil exports
We want to know what you’re up to! If you’ve started a new retiree group, please let us help you spread the word about
your activities. To show your meeting information in this section, please call Natasha Mitchell at 918-661-6717 or email
[email protected].
As the national conversation on U.S. crude oil exports continues, it is undeniable
that exporting crude oil would grow the nation’s economy. A robust American
economy can offer low unemployment, healthy retail sales, consumer
confidence and ample revenue for governments to provide services to citizens.
And economic growth propels business and consumer optimism, creating a
domino effect that supports more economic growth.
Congress is now considering legislation to lift the ban on crude oil exports and
showing support at the local level will be key to getting that legislation passed.
Now would be the perfect time to insert your voice into the debate through
Power in Cooperation, ConocoPhillips’ new advocacy community. As a retiree,
you have a firsthand understanding of how the oil and natural gas industry has
impacted the U.S. economy. You have witnessed advancements in technology
that have made the U.S. the new global leader in oil and natural gas production.
By joining Power in Cooperation, you can help us tell that story and make a
difference within your community.
Please join Power in Cooperation today and consider submitting a letter to the
editor of your local newspaper or writing your elected official. It’s quick, easy and
will help spread the message that removing the ban would help to protect and
create jobs, stimulate our economy and lower gasoline prices while ensuring
energy security for the long term and allowing the U.S. to remain the global
leader in oil production. You can lend your voice to this important issue by
visiting www.powerincooperation.com/actioncenter.aspx.
If contacting us via email, please make sure you include the following information:
• Name of your group.
• Geographic area served (city/state/country).
• Where/how often the group meets.
• Contact information: name/phone number/email.
