Oil and Natural Gas Outlook: Implications for Alaska The Alliance – Meet Alaska

January 9, 2015

Cautionary Statement

The following presentation includes forward-looking statements. These statements relate to future events, such as anticipated revenues, earnings, business strategies, competitive position or other aspects of our operations or operating results or the industries or markets in which we operate or participate in general. Actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecast in such forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that may prove to be incorrect and are difficult to predict such as oil and gas prices; operational hazards and drilling risks; potential failure to achieve, and potential delays in achieving expected reserves or production levels from existing and future oil and gas development projects; unsuccessful exploratory activities; unexpected cost increases or technical difficulties in constructing, maintaining or modifying company facilities; international monetary conditions and exchange controls; potential liability for remedial actions under existing or future environmental regulations or from pending or future litigation; limited access to capital or significantly higher cost of capital related to illiquidity or uncertainty in the domestic or international financial markets; general domestic and international economic and political conditions, as well as changes in tax, environmental and other laws applicable to ConocoPhillips’ business and other economic, business, competitive and/or regulatory factors affecting ConocoPhillips’ business generally as set forth in ConocoPhillips’ filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). We caution you not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements, which are only as of the date of this presentation or as otherwise indicated, and we expressly disclaim any responsibility for updating such information.

Use of non-GAAP financial information – This presentation may include non-GAAP financial measures, which help facilitate comparison of company operating performance across periods and with peer companies. Any non-GAAP measures included herein will be accompanied by a reconciliation to the nearest corresponding GAAP measure in an appendix.

Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors – 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 presentation 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 disclosures in our Form 10-K and other reports and filings with the SEC. Copies are available from the SEC and from the ConocoPhillips website.

Challenging Oil and Natural Gas Outlook

• Weak global economic and energy demand growth

• Global oil supply growth outpacing demand, causing present oil price weakness

• Need for U.S. crude exports

• Weak N.A. natural gas market • Sufficient supplies available below $5/MMBtu prices

• Loosening international natural gas market • Pipeline and LNG supply competition

• Lower economic and gas demand growth

• Lower oil prices reducing LNG contract prices

• Environmental, cost and tax pressures

• Declining light, sweet crude imports, with year round exports needed by 2017 • Condensates and super light

crudes are already in surplus • Seasonal exports needed before

then during U.S. refinery turnarounds / outages

• Eventual reductions in light, sour

and medium crude imports

• U.S. likely to maintain heavy crude imports that better matches domestic refinery configuration

Ability to Export L48 Crude Would Increase U.S. Oil Production

• Lifting the ban on U.S. Lower 48 crude exports would increase production by 1.5 to 3.0 MMBD by 2020

• 10-20% increase

• Removing domestic crude price discounts caused by the ban would increase investment in new production

• More wells and plays would become economic

• Increased cash flow to invest

Increased production comes with significant economic benefits to the U.S.

Benefits of U.S. Crude Oil Exports

• Would lower consumer fuel costs at the pump by $18 billion annually

• U.S. economy could gain $135 billion and about one million jobs at its peak

• Reduce nation’s oil import bill by $67 billion annually

• Increase government revenues by $1.3 trillion between 2016-2030

• Strengthen U.S. geopolitical position

More jobs & economic development would result from continued growth in U.S. oil production

Alaska Activities Announced Since Tax reform (SB21) Passed

• Added two rigs to the Kuparuk rig fleet

• Investment has decreased Kuparuk Unit

field decline from 7% to 1%

• Two new-build rigs are on order – deliver 2016

• Rotary rig Doyon 142

• Coil tubing drill rig Nabors CDR-3

• New Drill site at Kuparuk (DS-2S) – Approved October 2014

• Evaluating plans for additional development in NPRA (GMT-1)

• In dialogue with Federal Government for acceptable terms

• Pre-engineering for viscous oil expansion in Kuparuk (1H NEWS)

Implications for Alaska

• Alaska North Slope oil needs to be cost competitive, especially in today’s low oil price environment

• ANS crude export option driven by increased flows of competing crude oils to the U.S. West Coast

• Relatively low natural gas prices in Lower 48 makes those LNG projects competitive and they are helping set global LNG prices

• With stiff competition, Alaska LNG needs to be competitive with regard to cost and fiscal terms
