Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements | ConocoPhillips |
Note 1Basis of Presentation
The interim-period financial information presented in the financial statements included in this report is unaudited and, in the opinion of management, includes all known accruals and adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position of ConocoPhillips and its results of operations and cash flows for such periods. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed. Certain notes and other information have been condensed or omitted from the interim financial statements included in this report. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
As a result of our separation of Phillips 66 on April 30, 2012, the results of operations for our former refining, marketing and transportation businesses; most of our former Midstream segment; our former Chemicals segment; and our power generation and certain technology operations included in our former Emerging Businesses segment (collectively, our Downstream business), have been classified as discontinued operations for the period ended March 31, 2012. In addition, the results of operations for our interest in the North Caspian Sea Production Sharing Agreement (Kashagan) and our Algerian and Nigerian businesses have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented. See Note 3Discontinued Operations, for additional information. Unless indicated otherwise, the information in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements relates to our continuing operations.
Note 2Change in Accounting Principles
Effective January 1, 2013, we early adopted, on a prospective basis, Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-05, Parents Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment (CTA) upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity. This ASU resolves the diversity in practice about whether FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Subtopic 810-10, ConsolidationOverall, or Subtopic 830-30, Foreign Currency MattersTranslation of Financial Statements, applies to the release of the CTA into net income when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a nonprofit activity or a business (other than a sale of in substance real estate or conveyance of oil and gas mineral rights) within a foreign entity. This ASU clarifies that ASC Subtopic 830-30 applies to sales within a foreign entity and thus the CTA should not be released into net income unless those sales represent the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the reporting parents investment in the broader foreign entity. This ASU also requires the release of all the related CTA into net income upon gaining control in a step acquisition of an equity method investment that is considered to be a standalone foreign entity, and a pro rata release of the related CTA into net income upon a partial sale of an interest in an equity method investment that is considered to be a standalone foreign entity.

Note 3Discontinued Operations
Separation of Downstream Business
On April 30, 2012, the separation of our Downstream business was completed, creating two independent energy companies: ConocoPhillips and Phillips 66. In connection with the separation, Phillips 66 distributed approximately $7.8 billion to us in a special cash distribution. The principal funds from the special cash distribution were designated solely to pay dividends, repurchase common stock, repay debt, or a combination of the foregoing, within twelve months following the distribution. The cash was included in the Restricted cash line on our consolidated balance sheet. No balance remained from the cash distribution as of March 31, 2013. We also entered into several agreements with Phillips 66 in order to effect the separation and govern our relationship with Phillips 66.
Sales and other operating revenues and income from discontinued operations related to Phillips 66 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012, were as follows:

Income from discontinued operations after-tax includes transaction, information systems and other costs incurred to effect the separation of $44 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012. No separation costs were incurred during the first three months of 2013.
Prior to the separation, commodity sales to Phillips 66 were $4,054 million and commodity purchases from Phillips 66 were $160 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012. Prior to May 1, 2012, commodity sales and related costs were eliminated in consolidation between ConocoPhillips and Phillips 66. Beginning May 1, 2012, these revenues and costs represent third-party transactions with Phillips 66.
Other Discontinued Operations
As part of our ongoing strategic asset disposition program, we agreed to sell our interest in the North Caspian Sea Production Sharing Agreement (Kashagan) and our Algerian and Nigerian businesses (collectively, the Disposition Group). The Disposition Group was previously part of the Other International operating segment.
On November 26, 2012, we notified government authorities in Kazakhstan and co-ventures of our intent to sell the Companys 8.4 percent interest in Kashagan to ONGC Videsh Limited. Expected proceeds are approximately $5.0 billion, which represents the purchase price plus expected working capital and customary adjustments at closing. The transaction is expected to close in 2013. We recorded pre-tax impairments of $606 million and $43 million in the fourth quarter of 2012 and first quarter of 2013, respectively. At March 31, 2013, the carrying value of the net assets related to our interest in Kashagan was $5.1 billion, net of impairments.
On December 18, 2012, we entered into an agreement with Pertamina to sell our wholly owned subsidiary, ConocoPhillips Algeria Ltd., for a total of $1.75 billion plus customary adjustments. The transaction is anticipated to close in 2013. We received a deposit of $175 million in December 2012. The deposit is refundable in the event our co-venturer exercises its preemptive rights, which have been waived, or government approval is not received. At March 31, 2013, the net carrying value of our Algerian assets was $698 million.
6
On December 20, 2012, we entered into agreements with affiliates of Oando PLC to sell our Nigerian business unit for a total of $1.79 billion plus customary adjustments. The transaction is anticipated to close in 2013, following appropriate consultations with stakeholders. We received a deposit of $435 million in December 2012. The deposit is only refundable in the event of default by us. At March 31, 2013, the net carrying value of our Nigerian assets was $317 million.
At March 31, 2013, the Disposition Group met the criteria to be classified as held for sale. Accordingly, we classified $22 million of loans and advances to related parties in the Accounts and notes receivablerelated parties line and $7,058 million of noncurrent assets in the Prepaid expenses and other current assets line of our consolidated balance sheet. In addition, we classified $777 million of noncurrent liabilities in the Accrued income and other taxes line and $133 million of asset retirement obligations in the Other accruals line of our consolidated balance sheet. The carrying amounts of the major classes of assets and liabilities associated with the Disposition Group were as follows:

Note 4Variable Interest Entities (VIEs)
We hold variable interests in VIEs that have not been consolidated because we are not considered the primary beneficiary. Information on our significant VIEs follows:
Freeport LNG Development, L.P. (Freeport LNG)
We have an agreement with Freeport LNG to participate in a liquefied natural gas (LNG) receiving terminal in Quintana, Texas. We have no ownership in Freeport LNG; however, we own a 50 percent interest in Freeport LNG GP, Inc. (Freeport GP), which serves as the general partner managing the venture. We entered into a credit agreement with Freeport LNG, whereby we agreed to provide loan financing for the construction of the terminal. We also entered into a long-term agreement with Freeport LNG to use 0.9 billion cubic feet per day of regasification capacity, which expires in 2033. The terminal became operational in June 2008, and we began making payments under the terminal use agreement. At March 31, 2013, the prepaid balance of the terminal use agreement was $244 million, which is primarily reflected in the Other assets line on our consolidated balance sheet. Freeport LNG began making loan repayments in September 2008, and the loan balance outstanding was $551 million at March 31, 2013, and $565 million at December 31, 2012.
Freeport LNG is a VIE because Freeport GP holds no equity in Freeport LNG, and the limited partners of Freeport LNG do not have any substantive decision making ability. Since we do not have the unilateral power to direct the key activities which most significantly impact its economic performance, we are not the primary beneficiary of Freeport LNG. These key activities primarily involve or relate to operating and maintaining the terminal. We also performed an analysis of the expected losses and determined we are not the primary beneficiary. This expected loss analysis took into account that the credit support arrangement requires Freeport LNG to maintain sufficient commercial insurance to mitigate any loan losses. The loan to Freeport LNG is accounted for as a financial asset, and our investment in Freeport GP is accounted for as an equity investment.
Australia Pacific LNG (APLNG)
APLNG is considered a VIE, as it has entered into certain contractual arrangements that provide it with additional forms of subordinated financial support. We are not the primary beneficiary of APLNG because we share with Origin Energy and China Petrochemical Corporation (Sinopec) the power to direct the key activities of APLNG that most significantly impact its economic performance, which involve activities related to the production and commercialization of coalbed methane, as well as LNG processing and export marketing. As a result, we do not consolidate APLNG, and it is accounted for as an equity method investment.
As of March 31, 2013, we have not provided, nor do we expect to provide in the future, any financial support to APLNG other than amounts previously contractually required. In addition, unless we elect otherwise, we have no requirement to provide liquidity or purchase the assets of APLNG. See Note 7Investments, Loans and Long-Term Receivables, and Note 13Guarantees, for additional information.

Note 6Assets Held for Sale or Sold
Our interest in Kashagan and the Algerian and Nigerian business units were considered held for sale at March 31, 2013. These assets are classified as discontinued operations. See Note 3Discontinued Operations, for additional information.
In March 2013, we sold the majority of our properties in the Cedar Creek Anticline for $989 million and recognized a before-tax loss on disposition of $62 million, which was included in the Gain on dispositions line on our consolidated income statement. At the time of the disposition, the carrying value of our interest, which was included in the Lower 48 and Latin America segment, was $1,051 million, which included $1,079 million of properties, plants and equipment (PP&E) and $28 million of asset retirement obligations.
Note 7Investments, Loans and Long-Term Receivables
APLNG
In the fourth quarter of 2012, APLNG satisfied all conditions precedent to drawdown from the $8.5 billion project finance facility. The facility is comprised of financing agreements executed by APLNG with the Export-Import Bank of the United States for approximately $2.9 billion, the Export-Import Bank of China for approximately $2.7 billion, and a syndicate of Australian and international commercial banks for approximately $2.9 billion. In connection with the execution of the project financing, we provided a completion guarantee for our pro-rata share of the project finance facility until the project achieves financial completion. See Note 13Guarantees, for additional information.
APLNG is considered a VIE, as it has entered into certain contractual arrangements that provide it with additional forms of subordinated financial support. See Note 4Variable Interest Entities (VIEs), for additional information.
At March 31, 2013, the book value of our equity method investment in APLNG was $10,402 million, which included $2,595 million of cumulative translation effects due to strengthening of the Australian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar over time, and is included in the Investments and long-term receivables line on our consolidated balance sheet.
Loans and Long-Term Receivables
As part of our normal ongoing business operations and consistent with industry practice, we enter into numerous agreements with other parties to pursue business opportunities. Included in such activity are loans made to certain affiliated and non-affiliated companies. Significant loans to affiliated companies at March 31, 2013, included the following:
| $551 million in loan financing to Freeport LNG. |
| $1,050 million in project financing to Qatar Liquefied Gas Company Limited (3) (QG3). |
The long-term portion of these loans is included in the Loans and advancesrelated parties line on our consolidated balance sheet, while the short-term portion is in Accounts and notes receivablerelated parties.
Note 8Suspended Wells
The capitalized cost of suspended wells at March 31, 2013, was $1,239 million, an increase of $201 million from $1,038 million at year-end 2012. No suspended wells were charged to dry hole expense during the first three months of 2013 relating to exploratory well costs capitalized for a period greater than one year as of December 31, 2012.

The first quarter of 2012 included a $213 million property impairment in our Canada segment for the carrying value of capitalized project development costs associated with our Mackenzie Gas Project. Advancement of the project was suspended indefinitely in the first quarter of 2012 due to a continued decline in market conditions and the lack of acceptable commercial terms. We also recorded a $481 million impairment for the undeveloped leasehold costs associated with the project, which was included in the Exploration expenses line on our consolidated income statement.
Note 10Debt
We have two commercial paper programs supported by our $7.5 billion revolving credit facility: the ConocoPhillips $6.35 billion program, primarily a funding source for short-term working capital needs, and the ConocoPhillips Qatar Funding Ltd. $1.15 billion commercial paper program, which is used to fund commitments relating to QG3. Commercial paper maturities are generally limited to 90 days.
At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we had no direct outstanding borrowings or letters of credit issued under our revolving credit facilities. In addition, under the ConocoPhillips Qatar Funding Ltd. commercial paper program, there was $1,008 million of commercial paper outstanding at March 31, 2013, compared with $1,055 million at December 31, 2012. Since we had $1,008 million of commercial paper outstanding and had issued no letters of credit, we had access to $6.5 billion in borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facilities at March 31, 2013.
At March 31, 2013, we classified $920 million of short-term debt as long-term debt, based on our ability and intent to refinance the obligation on a long-term basis under our revolving credit facilities.
In April 2013, we repaid the following debt instruments at maturity:
| The $100 million 7.625% Debentures due 2013. |
| The $750 million 5.50% Notes due 2013. |
Note 11Joint Venture Acquisition Obligation
We are obligated to contribute $7.5 billion, plus interest, over a 10-year period that began in 2007, to FCCL Partnership. Quarterly principal and interest payments of $237 million began in the second quarter of 2007, and will continue until the balance is paid. Of the principal obligation amount, approximately $782 million was short-term and was included in the Accounts payablerelated parties line on our March 31, 2013, consolidated balance sheet. The principal portion of these payments, which totaled $189 million in the first three months of 2013, is included in the Other line in the financing activities section on our consolidated
10
statement of cash flows. Interest accrues at a fixed annual rate of 5.3 percent on the unpaid principal balance. Fifty percent of the quarterly interest payment is reflected as a capital contribution and is included in the Capital expenditures and investments line on our consolidated statement of cash flows.

Note 13Guarantees
At March 31, 2013, we were liable for certain contingent obligations under various contractual arrangements as described below. We recognize a liability, at inception, for the fair value of our obligation as a guarantor for newly issued or modified guarantees. Unless the carrying amount of the liability is noted below, we have not recognized a liability either because the guarantees were issued prior to December 31, 2002, or because the fair value of the obligation is immaterial. In addition, unless otherwise stated, we are not currently performing with any significance under the guarantee and expect future performance to be either immaterial or have only a remote chance of occurrence.
APLNG Guarantees
At March 31, 2013, we have outstanding multiple guarantees in connection with our 37.5 percent ownership interest in APLNG. The following is a description of the guarantees with values calculated utilizing March 2013 exchange rates:
| We have guaranteed APLNGs performance with regard to a construction contract executed in connection with APLNGs issuance of the Train 1 and Train 2 Notices to Proceed. We estimate the remaining term of this guarantee is 4 years. Our maximum potential amount of future payments related to this guarantee is approximately $110 million and would become payable if APLNG cancels the applicable construction contract and does not perform with respect to the amounts owed to the contractor. |
| We have issued a construction completion guarantee related to the third-party project financing secured by APLNG. Our maximum potential amount of future payments under the guarantee is estimated to be $3.2 billion, which could be payable if the full debt financing capacity is utilized and completion of the project is not achieved. Our guarantee of the project financing will be released upon meeting certain completion milestones, which we estimate would occur beginning in 2016. Our maximum exposure at March 31, 2013, is $1.7 billion based upon our pro-rata share of the facility used at that date. At March 31, 2013, the carrying value of this guarantee is approximately $114 million. |
11
| In conjunction with our original purchase of an ownership interest in APLNG from Origin Energy in October 2008, we agreed to guarantee an existing obligation of APLNG to deliver natural gas under several sales agreements with remaining terms of 4 to 19 years. Our maximum potential amount of future payments, or cost of volume delivery, under these guarantees is estimated to be $1.0 billion ($2.4 billion in the event of intentional or reckless breach), and would become payable if APLNG fails to meet its obligations under these agreements and the obligations cannot otherwise be mitigated. Future payments are considered unlikely, as the payments, or cost of volume delivery, would only be triggered if APLNG does not have enough natural gas to meet these sales commitments and if the co-venturers do not make necessary equity contributions into APLNG. |
| We have guaranteed the performance of APLNG with regard to certain other contracts executed in connection with the projects continued development. The guarantees have remaining terms of up to 33 years or the life of the venture. Our maximum potential amount of future payments related to these guarantees is approximately $180 million and would become payable if APLNG does not perform. |
Other Guarantees
We have other guarantees with maximum future potential payment amounts totaling approximately $280 million, which consist primarily of guarantees of the residual value of leased corporate aircraft, guarantees to fund the short-term cash liquidity deficit of two joint ventures, a guarantee for our portion of a joint ventures debt obligations and a guarantee of minimum charter revenue for an LNG vessel. These guarantees have remaining terms of up to 11 years or the life of the venture and would become payable, if upon sale, certain asset values are lower than guaranteed amounts, business conditions decline at guaranteed entities or as a result of non-performance of contractual terms by guaranteed parties.
Indemnifications
Over the years, we have entered into various lease agreements or agreements to sell ownership interests in certain corporations, joint ventures and assets that gave rise to qualifying indemnifications. Agreements associated with these leases and sales include indemnifications for taxes, environmental liabilities, permits and licenses, employee claims, real estate indemnity against tenant defaults, and litigation. The terms of these indemnifications vary greatly. The majority of these indemnifications are related to environmental issues, the term is generally indefinite and the maximum amount of future payments is generally unlimited. The carrying amount recorded for these indemnifications at March 31, 2013, was approximately $70 million. We amortize the indemnification liability over the relevant time period, if one exists, based on the facts and circumstances surrounding each type of indemnity. In cases where the indemnification term is indefinite, we will reverse the liability when we have information the liability is essentially relieved or amortize the liability over an appropriate time period as the fair value of our indemnification exposure declines. Although it is reasonably possible future payments may exceed amounts recorded, due to the nature of the indemnifications, it is not possible to make a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential amount of future payments. Included in the recorded carrying amount were approximately $50 million of environmental accruals for known contamination that are included in the Asset retirement obligations and accrued environmental costs line on our consolidated balance sheet. For additional information about environmental liabilities, see Note 14Contingencies and Commitments.
In connection with the separation of the Downstream business, the Company entered into an Indemnification and Release Agreement with Phillips 66. See Note 3Discontinued Operations, for additional information. This agreement provided for cross-indemnities between Phillips 66 and ConocoPhillips and established procedures for handling claims subject to indemnification and related matters. We evaluated the impact of the indemnifications given and the Phillips 66 indemnifications received as of the separation date and concluded those fair values were immaterial.
12
Note 14Contingencies and Commitments
A number of lawsuits involving a variety of claims arising in the ordinary course of business have been made against ConocoPhillips. We also may be required to remove or mitigate the effects on the environment of the placement, storage, disposal or release of certain chemical, mineral and petroleum substances at various active and inactive sites. We regularly assess the need for accounting recognition or disclosure of these contingencies. In the case of all known contingencies (other than those related to income taxes), we accrue a liability when the loss is probable and the amount is reasonably estimable. If a range of amounts can be reasonably estimated and no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, then the minimum of the range is accrued. We do not reduce these liabilities for potential insurance or third-party recoveries. If applicable, we accrue receivables for probable insurance or other third-party recoveries. With respect to income-tax-related contingencies, we use a cumulative probability-weighted loss accrual in cases where sustaining a tax position is less than certain.
Based on currently available information, we believe it is remote that future costs related to known contingent liability exposures will exceed current accruals by an amount that would have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial statements. As we learn new facts concerning contingencies, we reassess our position both with respect to accrued liabilities and other potential exposures. Estimates particularly sensitive to future changes include contingent liabilities recorded for environmental remediation, tax and legal matters. Estimated future environmental remediation costs are subject to change due to such factors as the uncertain magnitude of cleanup costs, the unknown time and extent of such remedial actions that may be required, and the determination of our liability in proportion to that of other responsible parties. Estimated future costs related to tax and legal matters are subject to change as events evolve and as additional information becomes available during the administrative and litigation processes.
Environmental
We are subject to international, federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. When we prepare our consolidated financial statements, we record accruals for environmental liabilities based on managements best estimates, using all information that is available at the time. We measure estimates and base liabilities on currently available facts, existing technology, and presently enacted laws and regulations, taking into account stakeholder and business considerations. When measuring environmental liabilities, we also consider our prior experience in remediation of contaminated sites, other companies cleanup experience, and data released by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or other organizations. We consider unasserted claims in our determination of environmental liabilities, and we accrue them in the period they are both probable and reasonably estimable.
Although liability of those potentially responsible for environmental remediation costs is generally joint and several for federal sites and frequently so for state sites, we are usually only one of many companies cited at a particular site. Due to the joint and several liabilities, we could be responsible for all cleanup costs related to any site at which we have been designated as a potentially responsible party. We have been successful to date in sharing cleanup costs with other financially sound companies. Many of the sites at which we are potentially responsible are still under investigation by the EPA or the state agencies concerned. Prior to actual cleanup, those potentially responsible normally assess the site conditions, apportion responsibility and determine the appropriate remediation. In some instances, we may have no liability or may attain a settlement of liability. Where it appears that other potentially responsible parties may be financially unable to bear their proportional share, we consider this inability in estimating our potential liability, and we adjust our accruals accordingly. As a result of various acquisitions in the past, we assumed certain environmental obligations. Some of these environmental obligations are mitigated by indemnifications made by others for our benefit and some of the indemnifications are subject to dollar and time limits.
We are currently participating in environmental assessments and cleanups at numerous federal Superfund and comparable state sites. After an assessment of environmental exposures for cleanup and other costs, we make accruals on an undiscounted basis (except in respect of sites acquired in a purchase business combination, which we record on a discounted basis) for planned investigation and remediation activities for sites where it is probable future costs will be incurred and these costs can be reasonably estimated. At March 31, 2013, our
13
balance sheet included a total environmental accrual of $350 million, compared with $364 million at December 31, 2012. We expect to incur a substantial amount of these expenditures within the next 30 years. We have not reduced these accruals for possible insurance recoveries. In the future, we may be involved in additional environmental assessments, cleanups and proceedings.
Legal Proceedings
Our legal organization applies its knowledge, experience and professional judgment to the specific characteristics of our cases, employing a litigation management process to manage and monitor the legal proceedings against us. Our process facilitates the early evaluation and quantification of potential exposures in individual cases. This process also enables us to track those cases that have been scheduled for trial and/or mediation. Based on professional judgment and experience in using these litigation management tools and available information about current developments in all our cases, our legal organization regularly assesses the adequacy of current accruals and determines if adjustment of existing accruals, or establishment of new accruals, are required.
Other Contingencies
We have contingent liabilities resulting from throughput agreements with pipeline and processing companies not associated with financing arrangements. Under these agreements, we may be required to provide any such company with additional funds through advances and penalties for fees related to throughput capacity not utilized. In addition, at March 31, 2013, we had performance obligations secured by letters of credit of $782 million (issued as direct bank letters of credit) related to various purchase commitments for materials, supplies, commercial activities and services incident to the ordinary conduct of business.
In 2007, we announced we had been unable to reach agreement with respect to our migration to an empresa mixta structure mandated by the Venezuelan governments Nationalization Decree. As a result, Venezuelas national oil company, Petróleos de Venezuela S.A. (PDVSA), or its affiliates, directly assumed control over ConocoPhillips interests in the Petrozuata and Hamaca heavy oil ventures and the offshore Corocoro development project. In response to this expropriation, we filed a request for international arbitration on November 2, 2007, with the World Banks International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID). An arbitration hearing was held before an ICSID tribunal during the summer of 2010, and we anticipate an interim decision on key legal and factual issues in 2013.
In 2008, Burlington Resources, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of ConocoPhillips, initiated arbitration before ICSID against The Republic of Ecuador, as a result of the newly enacted Windfall Profits Tax Law and government-mandated renegotiation of our production sharing contracts. Despite a restraining order issued by the ICSID tribunal, Ecuador confiscated the crude oil production of Burlington and its co-venturer and sold the seized crude oil. In 2009, Ecuador took over operations in Blocks 7 and 21, fully expropriating our assets. In June 2010, the ICSID tribunal concluded it has jurisdiction to hear the expropriation claim. On April 24, 2012, Ecuador filed a supplemental counterclaim asserting environmental damages, which we believe are not material. The ICSID tribunal issued a decision on liability on December 14, 2012, in favor of Burlington, finding that Ecuadors seizure of Blocks 7 and 21 was an unlawful expropriation in violation of the Ecuador-U.S. Bilateral Investment Treaty. An additional arbitration phase is now proceeding to determine the damages owed to ConocoPhillips for Ecuadors actions.
ConocoPhillips served a Notice of Arbitration on the Timor-Leste Minister of Finance in October 2012 for outstanding disputes related to a series of tax assessments. Between 2010 and 2012, ConocoPhillips has paid, under protest, tax assessments totaling approximately $227 million, which are primarily recorded in the Investments and long-term receivables line on our consolidated balance sheet. The arbitration will be conducted in Singapore under the United Nations Commission on International Trade Laws (UNCITRAL) arbitration rules, pursuant to the terms of the Tax Stability Agreement with the Timor-Leste government. The arbitration process is currently underway. Future impacts on our business are not known at this time.

Note 15Derivative and Financial Instruments
Derivative Instruments
We use futures, forwards, swaps and options in various markets to meet our customer needs and capture market opportunities. Our commodity business primarily consists of natural gas, crude oil, bitumen, LNG and natural gas liquids. Under our current business model, we are not required to register as a Swap Dealer or Major Swap Participant.
Our derivative instruments are held at fair value on our consolidated balance sheet. Where these balances have the right of setoff, they are presented net. Related cash flows are recorded as operating activities on the consolidated statement of cash flows. On the consolidated income statement, realized and unrealized gains and losses are recognized either on a gross basis if directly related to our physical business or a net basis if held for trading. Gains and losses related to contracts that meet and are designated with the normal purchase normal sale exception are recognized upon settlement. We generally apply this exception to eligible crude contracts. We do not use hedge accounting for our commodity derivatives.

Foreign Currency Exchange Derivatives
We have foreign currency exchange rate risk resulting from international operations. Our foreign currency exchange derivative activity primarily consists of transactions designed to mitigate our cash-related and foreign currency exchange rate exposures, such as firm commitments for capital projects or local currency tax payments, dividends, and cash returns from net investments in foreign affiliates. We do not elect hedge accounting on our foreign currency exchange derivatives.

In conjunction with the separation of our Downstream business, we received a special cash distribution from Phillips 66. See Note 3Discontinued Operations, for additional information. The balance of the special cash distribution was zero at March 31, 2013, and $748 million at December 31, 2012, and was included in Restricted cash on our consolidated balance sheet. At December 31, 2012, the funds in the restricted cash account were invested in money market funds with maturities within 90 days from December 31, 2012.
Credit Risk
Financial instruments potentially exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash equivalents, over-the-counter (OTC) derivative contracts and trade receivables. Our cash equivalents and short-term investments are placed in high-quality commercial paper, money market funds, government debt securities and time deposits with major international banks and financial institutions.
The credit risk from our OTC derivative contracts, such as forwards and swaps, derives from the counterparty to the transaction. Individual counterparty exposure is managed within predetermined credit limits and includes the use of cash-call margins when appropriate, thereby reducing the risk of significant nonperformance. We also use futures, swaps and option contracts that have a negligible credit risk because these trades are cleared with an exchange clearinghouse and subject to mandatory margin requirements until settled; however, we are exposed to the credit risk of those exchange brokers for receivables arising from daily margin cash calls, as well as for cash deposited to meet initial margin requirements.
Our trade receivables result primarily from our petroleum operations and reflect a broad national and international customer base, which limits our exposure to concentrations of credit risk. The majority of these receivables have payment terms of 30 days or less, and we continually monitor this exposure and the creditworthiness of the counterparties. We do not generally require collateral to limit the exposure to loss; however, we will sometimes use letters of credit, prepayments and master netting arrangements to mitigate credit risk with counterparties that both buy from and sell to us, as these agreements permit the amounts owed by us or owed to others to be offset against amounts due us.
Certain of our derivative instruments contain provisions that require us to post collateral if the derivative exposure exceeds a threshold amount. We have contracts with fixed threshold amounts and other contracts with variable threshold amounts that are contingent on our credit rating. The variable threshold amounts typically decline for lower credit ratings, while both the variable and fixed threshold amounts typically revert to zero if we fall below investment grade. Cash is the primary collateral in all contracts; however, many also permit us to post letters of credit as collateral, such as certain transactions administered through the New York Mercantile Exchange or the IntercontinentalExchange.
The aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with such credit-risk-related contingent features that were in a liability position on March 31, 2013, and December 31, 2012, was $143 million and $130 million, respectively. For these instruments, no collateral was posted as of March 31, 2013 or December 31, 2012. If our credit rating had been lowered one level from its A rating (per Standard and Poors) on March 31, 2013, we would be required to post no additional collateral to our counterparties. If we had been downgraded below investment grade, we would be required to post $143 million of additional collateral, either with cash or letters of credit.
17
Note 16Fair Value Measurement
We carry a portion of our assets and liabilities at fair value that are measured at a reporting date using an exit price (i.e., the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability) and disclosed according to the quality of valuation inputs under the following hierarchy:
| Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in an active market for identical assets or liabilities. |
| Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices which are directly or indirectly observable. |
| Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value of assets or liabilities. |
The classification of an asset or liability is based on the lowest level of input significant to its fair value. Those that are initially classified as Level 3 are subsequently reported as Level 2 when the fair value derived from unobservable inputs is inconsequential to the overall fair value, or if corroborated market data becomes available. Assets and liabilities that are initially reported as Level 2 are subsequently reported as Level 3 if corroborated market data is no longer available. Transfers occur at the end of the reporting period. There were no material transfers in or out of Level 1.
Recurring Fair Value Measurement
Financial assets and liabilities reported at fair value on a recurring basis primarily include commodity derivatives and certain investments to support nonqualified deferred compensation plans. The deferred compensation investments are measured at fair value using unadjusted prices available from national securities exchanges; therefore, these assets are categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Level 1 derivative assets and liabilities primarily represent exchange-traded futures and options that are valued using unadjusted prices available from the underlying exchange. Level 2 derivative assets and liabilities primarily represent OTC swaps, options and forward purchase and sale contracts that are valued using adjusted exchange prices, prices provided by brokers or pricing service companies that are all corroborated by market data. Level 3 derivative assets and liabilities consist of OTC swaps, options and forward purchase and sale contracts that are long term in nature and where a significant portion of fair value is calculated from underlying market data that is not readily available. The derived value uses industry standard methodologies that may consider the historical relationships among various commodities, modeled market prices, time value, volatility factors and other relevant economic measures. The use of these inputs results in managements best estimate of fair value. Level 3 activity was not material.

At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we did not present any amounts gross on our consolidated balance sheet where we had the right of setoff.
Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurement
We recorded a pre-tax loss of $43 million to reduce net PP&E (held for sale) to fair value. As of March 31, 2013, the fair value less costs to sell was $5,070 million. Since the fair value was determined by the negotiated selling price, it is classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. See Note 3Discontinued Operations, for additional information.
Reported Fair Values of Financial Instruments
We used the following methods and assumptions to estimate the fair value of financial instruments:
| Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments: The carrying amount reported on the balance sheet approximates fair value. |
| Accounts and notes receivable (including long-term and related parties): The carrying amount reported on the balance sheet approximates fair value. The valuation technique and methods used to estimate the fair value of the current portion of fixed-rate related party loans is consistent with Loans and advancesrelated parties. |
| Loans and advancesrelated parties: The carrying amount of floating-rate loans approximates fair value. The fair value of fixed-rate loan activity is measured using market observable data and is categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. See Note 7Investments, Loans and Long-Term Receivables, for additional information. |
19
| Accounts payable (including related parties) and floating-rate debt: The carrying amount of accounts payable and floating-rate debt reported on the balance sheet approximates fair value. The valuation technique and methods used to estimate the fair value of the current portion of the joint venture acquisition obligation is consistent with the methodology below. |
| Fixed-rate debt: The estimated fair value of fixed-rate debt is measured using prices available from a pricing service that is corroborated by market data; therefore, these liabilities are categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. |
| Joint venture acquisition obligationrelated party: Fair value is estimated based on the net present value of the future cash flows as a Level 2 fair value. At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, effective yield rates were 0.66 percent and 0.7 percent, respectively, based on yields of U.S. Treasury securities of similar average duration adjusted for our average credit risk spread and the amortizing nature of the obligation principal. See Note 11Joint Venture Acquisition Obligation, for additional information. |

In connection with the separation of the Downstream business on April 30, 2012, ConocoPhillips entered into an Employee Matters Agreement with Phillips 66 which provides that employees of Phillips 66 will no longer participate in benefit plans sponsored or maintained by ConocoPhillips upon separation. As such, changes in net periodic benefit cost included in the table above primarily relate to the employees of Phillips 66 no longer participating in the ConocoPhillips benefit plans for the three-month period ended March 31, 2013.
During the first three months of 2013, we contributed $52 million to our domestic benefit plans and $50 million to our international benefit plans.

Note 21Segment Disclosures and Related Information
We explore for, produce, transport and market crude oil, bitumen, natural gas, LNG and natural gas liquids on a worldwide basis. We manage our operations through six operating segments, which are defined by geographic region: Alaska, Lower 48 and Latin America, Canada, Europe, Asia Pacific and Middle East, and Other International.
On April 30, 2012, our Downstream business was separated into a stand-alone, publicly traded corporation, Phillips 66. Results of operations for Phillips 66 for the period ended March 31, 2012, have been reported as discontinued operations. Commodity sales to Phillips 66, which were previously eliminated in consolidation prior to the separation, are now reported as third-party sales. In 2012, we also agreed to sell our Nigerian and Algerian businesses and our interest in Kashagan. Results of operations for Nigeria, Algeria and Kashagan have been reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented. For additional information, see Note 3Discontinued Operations.
Corporate and Other represents costs not directly associated with an operating segment, such as most interest expense, corporate overhead, costs associated with the separation and certain technology activities, net of licensing revenues. Corporate assets include all cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and restricted cash.
We evaluate performance and allocate resources based on net income attributable to ConocoPhillips. Intersegment sales are at prices that approximate market.

Note 22Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2013 was 47 percent compared with 49 percent for the first quarter of 2012. The decrease was primarily due to a smaller proportion of income in higher tax jurisdictions in 2013. Additionally, the tax rate for the first quarter of 2013 reflected a favorable tax resolution associated with the sale of certain western Canada properties which occurred in a prior year, and the tax rate for the first quarter of 2012 reflected a benefit from asset dispositions in 2012.
The effective tax rate in excess of the domestic federal statutory rate of 35 percent was primarily due to foreign taxes.
During the first quarter of 2013, unrecognized tax benefits decreased $235 million to $637 million at March 31, 2013, mainly due to the favorable tax resolution noted above. Included in this balance is $411 million which, if recognized, would impact our effective tax rate.

Due to the separation of our downstream businesses in 2012 and our intention to sell our interest in the North Caspian Sea Production Sharing Agreement (Kashagan) and our Nigerian and Algerian businesses, which are reported as discontinued operations, income (loss) from continuing operations is more representative of ConocoPhillips as an independent exploration and production company. The terms earnings and loss as used in Managements Discussion and Analysis refer to income (loss) from continuing operations.
BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT AND EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
ConocoPhillips is the worlds largest independent exploration and production (E&P) company, based on production and proved reserves. Headquartered in Houston, Texas, we have operations and activities in 30 countries. At March 31, 2013, we had approximately 17,100 employees worldwide and total assets of $118 billion.
Discontinued Operations
On April 30, 2012, we completed the separation of our downstream businesses into an independent, publicly traded company, Phillips 66. Our refining, marketing and transportation businesses, most of our Midstream segment, our Chemicals segment, as well as our power generation and certain technology operations included in our Emerging Businesses segment (collectively, our Downstream business), were transferred to Phillips 66. Results of operations related to Phillips 66 for the period ended March 31, 2012, have been classified as discontinued operations. As part of our strategic asset disposition program, in the fourth quarter of 2012, we agreed to sell our interest in Kashagan and our Nigerian and Algerian businesses. Results of operations related to Kashagan, Nigeria and Algeria have been classified as discontinued operations in all periods presented in this Form 10-Q. For additional information, see Note 3Discontinued Operations, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Overview
As an independent E&P company, we are solely focused on exploring for, developing and producing crude oil and natural gas globally. Our portfolio primarily includes legacy assets in North America, Europe, Asia and Australia; growing North American shale and oil sands businesses; several major international developments; and a global exploration program. Our value proposition to our shareholders is to deliver production and cash margin growth, competitive returns on capital, and a compelling dividend, while keeping our fundamental commitment to safety, operating excellence and environmental stewardship. We expect to achieve our value proposition through portfolio optimization, investments in high-margin developments, applying technical capability and maintaining financial flexibility.
29
In the first quarter of 2013, we achieved production of 1,596 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day (MBOED), including production from discontinued operations of 41 MBOED. Additionally, we generated $4.6 billion in cash from continuing operations, paid dividends on our common stock of $0.8 billion, funded a $3.6 billion capital program and continued to progress the asset disposition program. For the first quarter of 2013, we have generated proceeds from dispositions of approximately $1.1 billion, which mainly included the sale of certain properties in the Cedar Creek Anticline, located in North Dakota and Montana; our 24.5 percent interest in the N Block, located offshore Kazakhstan; and our 10 percent interest in the Interconnector Pipeline, located in Europe. The previously announced sales of Kashagan, Nigeria and Algeria are anticipated to close in 2013 and generate approximately $8.5 billion in expected proceeds.
Because we participate in a capital-intensive industry, we make significant investments to acquire acreage, explore for new oil and gas fields, develop newly discovered fields, maintain existing fields, and construct pipelines and liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities. We use a disciplined approach to select the appropriate projects which will provide the most attractive investment opportunities, with a continued focus on higher-margin liquids plays and limited investment in North American conventional natural gas. As investments bring more liquids production online, we expect a corresponding shift in our production mix. However, there are often long lead times from the time we make an investment to the time the investment is operational and begins generating financial returns. In the near-term, we will fund a portion of our capital program with the proceeds from strategic asset dispositions. Over the next five years, our investment in high-margin developments should position us to deliver 3 to 5 percent annual production volume and margin growth, enabling us to fund our capital program organically.
Business Environment
In recent years, the business environment for the energy industry has experienced many challenges which have influenced our operations and profitability, largely due to factors beyond our control, such as the recent financial crisis, geopolitical events or fears thereof, environmental laws, tax regulations, governmental policies, and weather-related disruptions. These factors generally influence the supply and demand of crude oil and natural gas. The most significant factor impacting our profitability and related reinvestment of our operating cash flows into our business is commodity prices. The prices for commodity products are supply- and demand-based and can be very volatile; therefore, to navigate through the volatility, our strategy is to maintain a core portfolio of low-risk, high-return development programs associated with legacy assets, coupled with a portfolio of development opportunities which offer high-margin growth, such as unconventional plays, deepwater exploration and LNG.
The following table depicts the average benchmark prices for West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil, Dated Brent crude oil and U.S. Henry Hub natural gas:

Industry crude prices for WTI decreased 8 percent in the first quarter of 2013, compared with the same period in 2012, while Brent prices decreased 5 percent in the first quarter of 2013. Global oil prices weakened during the first quarter of 2013, mainly as a result of weak global economic growth and increasing North American oil supply.
30
Henry Hub natural gas prices increased 23 percent in the first quarter of 2013, compared with the same period in 2012. The increase was due to a colder winter in 2013 compared to 2012, which increased U.S. natural gas consumption by over 5 billion cubic feet per day in the first quarter of 2013 versus the first quarter of 2012.
The expansion in shale production has also helped boost supplies of natural gas liquids, resulting in downward pressure on natural gas liquids prices in the United States. As a result, our domestic realized natural gas liquids price declined 34 percent in the first quarter of 2013, compared with the same period of 2012. Our realized bitumen price was $39.23 in the first quarter of 2013, compared with $60.66 in the first quarter of 2012 and $48.32 in the fourth quarter of 2012, decreases of 35 percent and 19 percent, respectively. We expect bitumen prices to strengthen in the second quarter of 2013, compared to the first quarter of 2013.
Key Operating and Financial Highlights
Significant highlights during the first quarter of 2013 included the following:
| Achieved first quarter total production of 1,596 MBOED, including continuing operations of 1,555 MBOED and discontinued operations of 41 MBOED. |
| Eagle Ford, Bakken and Permian combined production increased by 42 percent compared to the first quarter of 2012. |
| Oil sands production averaged 109 MBOED, up 30 percent compared to the first quarter of 2012. |
| Major projects on schedule for fourth-quarter startup. |
| Realized the first sale of oil from the deepwater Gumusut Field. |
| Announced Coronado and Shenandoah discoveries in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico. |
| Continued building the Gulf of Mexico exploration portfolio. |
| Entered Colombia to explore La Luna Shale. |
| Completed the sale of Cedar Creek Anticline properties for $989 million. |
Outlook
Consistent with prior guidance, second quarter 2013 production from continuing operations is expected to be 1,440 to 1,470 MBOED, reflecting previously announced planned downtime and turnaround activity. Production from discontinued operations is expected to be approximately 40 MBOED in the second quarter of 2013. Full-year 2013 production from continuing operations is expected to be 1,485 to 1,520 MBOED.

Earnings for ConocoPhillips decreased 7 percent in the first quarter of 2013. The decrease primarily resulted from:
| Lower gains from asset sales. Earnings for the first quarter of 2013 included a $270 million after-tax benefit associated with asset dispositions, compared with gains of $938 million after-tax in the first quarter of 2012. |
| Lower crude oil, bitumen and natural gas liquids prices. |
| Higher depreciation, depletion and amortization (DD&A) expenses, mainly due to higher volumes in the Lower 48 and China. |
These items were partially offset by:
| Lower impairments. Non-cash impairments in the first quarter of 2013 totaled $1 million after-tax, compared with impairments in the first quarter of 2012 of $520 million after-tax. |
| Higher natural gas prices. |
| Lower production taxes, primarily as a result of lower production volumes and prices in Alaska. |
| Higher sales, largely due to higher bitumen and LNG sales. |

Income Statement Analysis
Sales and other operating revenues decreased 3 percent in the first quarter of 2013, mainly due to lower crude oil, natural gas liquids and bitumen prices, partly offset by higher natural gas prices.
Equity in earnings of affiliates decreased 26 percent in the first quarter of 2013. The decrease primarily resulted from:
| Lower earnings from FCCL Partnership, mainly as a result of lower bitumen prices, partly offset by higher bitumen volumes. |
| Lower earnings from Lane Energy Poland Sp.z o.o., primarily due to expenses related to a dry hole. |
| Lower earnings from Phoenix Park Gas Processors Limited, mostly due to lower natural gas liquids prices. |
These decreases in equity earnings were partially offset by higher earnings from Qatar Liquefied Gas Company Limited (3) (QG3), largely due to higher LNG prices and volumes.
Gain on dispositions decreased $882 million in the first quarter of 2013. Gains in the first quarter of 2013 primarily resulted from the disposition of our interest in the Interconnector Pipeline in Europe, partly offset by a loss on the disposition of certain properties located in the Cedar Creek Anticline in the Lower 48. Gains in the first quarter of 2012 mainly reflected the $937 million gain on sale of our Vietnam business.
Purchased commodities decreased 4 percent in the first quarter of 2013, largely as a result of lower purchased natural gas volumes, partly offset by higher natural gas prices.
Production and operating expenses increased 8 percent in the first quarter of 2013, mostly due to higher operating expenses in the Lower 48 and Canada.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 49 percent in the first quarter of 2013, mainly as a result of lower costs related to compensation and benefit plans and the absence of costs associated with the separation of Phillips 66.
Exploration expenses decreased 59 percent in the first quarter of 2013, mostly due to the absence of the first quarter 2012 impairment of undeveloped leasehold costs associated with the Mackenzie Gas Project as a result of the indefinite suspension of the project. This decrease was partly offset by higher geol
