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, 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 on our website at www.conocophillips.com/nongaap.

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. References in this presentation to “resources” include estimates of quantities of oil, natural gas liquids, natural gas and bitumen that are not classified as “proved reserves”, as defined in SEC regulations, and therefore this term represents a broader description of potentially recoverable volumes than SEC definitions of “probable” or “possible” reserves. Estimates of such unproved resources may change significantly as development provides additional data, and actual quantities that are ultimately recovered may differ substantially from prior estimates. For more information regarding our reserves as calculated pursuant to SEC rules, please read the oil and gas disclosures in our Form 10-K and other reports we file with the SEC. Copies are available from the SEC website and from the ConocoPhillips website.

40-Year Ban on U.S. Crude Oil Exports Has Been Lifted

• Contained in Omnibus Spending bill in 2015

• Passed U.S. Congress and signed by President on December 18, 2015

• “… no official of the Federal Government shall impose or enforce any restriction on the export of crude oil”

• Allows President to re-impose restrictions for up to one year at a time in such cases as national emergencies, sustained crude shortages or crude price increases causing adverse effects in the U.S. • Maintains restrictions due to sanctions

Future Productivity Improvements

• Longer laterals

• Multi-laterals

• Increased drilling efficiency

• More perf clusters per well/stage

• More consistent proppant placement

U.S. Tight Oil Production at Various WTI PricesMMBD • U.S. tight oil supply likely to remain

resilient over the medium-long term

• Due to continuing efficiencies, U.S. tight oil production eventually rises in a $50 per barrel WTI price environment

• WTI price of $85 per barrel required to restore previous production trend, if fully funded from operating cash flow

Summary

• Free trade in crude encourages investment in new U.S. oil supply,

which should have substantial economic and energy security

benefits

• Lifting the export ban should limit the discount of U.S. domestic-

to-international crude prices as U.S. production growth resumes

• Consumers benefit from larger supplies of crude oil as well as

refined products

16

• U.S. refiners remain highly competitive

• U.S. crude exports are likely to be modest and go to nearby

destinations to minimize shipping cost
