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 all periods presented. 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 June 30,
5
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- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2012, were as follows:

Income from discontinued operations after-tax includes transaction, information systems and other costs incurred to effect the separation of $26 million and $70 million for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2012, respectively. No separation costs were incurred during the first six months of 2013.
Prior to the separation, commodity sales to Phillips 66 were $919 million and $4,973 million for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2012, respectively. Commodity purchases from Phillips 66 prior to the separation were $7 million and $166 million for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2012, respectively. 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 asset disposition program, we agreed to sell our interest in 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-venturers of our intent to sell the Companys 8.4 percent interest in Kashagan to ONGC Videsh Limited (OVL). On July 2, 2013, we received notification from the government of Kazakhstan indicating it is exercising its right to pre-empt the proposed sale to OVL and designating KazMunayGas as the entity to acquire the interest. Expected proceeds are approximately $5.4 billion, including 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 June 30, 2013, the carrying value of the net assets related to our interest in Kashagan was $5.2 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 June 30, 2013, the net carrying value of our Algerian assets was $674 million.
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. We received a deposit of $435 million in December 2012. The deposit is only refundable in the event of default by us. At June 30, 2013, the net carrying value of our Nigerian assets was $378 million.

At June 30, 2013, each component of the Disposition Group met the criteria to be classified as held for sale. Accordingly, we classified $16 million of loans and advances to related parties in the Accounts and notes receivablerelated parties line and $7,254 million of noncurrent assets in the Prepaid expenses and other current assets line of our consolidated balance sheet. In addition, we classified $853 million of noncurrent liabilities in the Accrued income and other taxes line and $135 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 June 30, 2013, the prepaid balance of the terminal use agreement was $256 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 $536 million at June 30, 2013, and $565 million at December 31, 2012.
In July 2013, we reached an agreement with Freeport LNG to terminate our long-term agreement at the Freeport LNG Terminal, subject to Freeport LNG obtaining regulatory approval and project financing for an LNG liquefaction and export facility in Texas, in which we are not a participant. Upon satisfaction of these conditions, currently expected to occur by the end of the first quarter of 2014, we will pay Freeport LNG a termination fee of approximately $600 million. Freeport LNG will repay the outstanding ConocoPhillips loan used by Freeport to partially fund the original construction of the terminal. When the agreement becomes effective, we expect to recognize an after-tax charge to earnings of approximately $540 million. Our terminal regasification capacity will be reduced from 0.9 billion cubic feet per day to 0.4 billion cubic feet per day, until July 1, 2016, at which time it will be reduced to zero.
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 June 30, 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.

Inventories valued on the last-in, first-out (LIFO) basis totaled $252 million and $147 million at June 30, 2013, and December 31, 2012, respectively. The estimated excess of current replacement cost over LIFO cost of inventories was approximately $168 million at June 30, 2013, and $200 million at December 31, 2012.
Note 6Assets Held for Sale or Sold
Our interest in Kashagan and the Algerian and Nigerian business units were considered held for sale at June 30, 2013. These assets are classified as discontinued operations. See Note 3Discontinued Operations, for additional information.
In June 2013, we sold a portion of our working interests in the Browse and Canning basins for approximately $402 million. We received $369 million in the second quarter of 2013 and recorded a receivable of $33 million as of June 30, 2013. Because we retain a working interest in the unproved properties, proceeds were treated as a reduction of the carrying value of properties, plants and equipment (PP&E) with no gain or loss on disposition recognized. Prior to the partial disposition, the carrying value of the PP&E associated with our interests, included in our Asia Pacific and Middle East segment, was $486 million.
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 consists 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 June 30, 2013, the book value of our equity method investment in APLNG was $9,700 million, which included $1,472 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
9
made to certain affiliated and non-affiliated companies. Significant loans to affiliated companies at June 30, 2013, included the following:
| $536 million in loan financing to Freeport LNG. See Note 4Variable Interest Entities (VIEs), for additional information. |
| $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 June 30, 2013, was $915 million, a decrease of $123 million from $1,038 million at year-end 2012. No suspended wells were charged to dry hole expense during the first six months of 2013 relating to exploratory well costs capitalized for a period greater than one year as of December 31, 2012.
Note 9Impairments
During the three- and six-month periods of 2013 and 2012, we recognized before-tax impairment charges within the following segments:

In the second quarters of 2013 and 2012, we recorded impairments in our Europe segment of $28 million and $78 million, respectively, primarily due to increases in the asset retirement obligation for the Don Field in the United Kingdom, which has ceased production. Additionally, the six-month period 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 June 30, 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 $1,009 million of commercial paper outstanding at June 30, 2013, compared with $1,055 million at December 31, 2012. Since we had $1,009 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 June 30, 2013.
At June 30, 2013, we classified $915 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.
During the second quarter of 2013, a lease of a semi-submersible floating production system (FPS) commenced for the Gumusut development, located in Malaysia, in which we are a co-venturer. The FPS lease provides for an initial noncancelable term of 15 years, a subsequent 5-year cancelable term with no required lease payments, and an additional 5-year term with terms and conditions to be agreed at a later date. The lease has no ongoing purchase options or escalation clauses. Certain contingent rental payments may be incurred if actual commissioning costs exceed provisioned amounts. The lease does not impose any significant restrictions concerning dividends, debt or further leasing activities.
A capital lease asset and capital lease obligation were recognized for our proportionate interest in the FPS of $906 million, based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments using our pre-tax incremental borrowing rate of 3.58 percent for debt with similar terms. The capital lease asset will be depreciated over a period consistent with the estimated proved reserves of Gumusut using the unit-of-production method with the associated depreciation included in the Depreciation, depletion and amortization line on our consolidated income statement. Future minimum lease payments under the capital lease are $46 million for the remainder of 2013, $78 million per year for 2014 through 2017 and $814 million for all years thereafter.
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 $793 million was short-term and was included in the Accounts payablerelated parties line on our June 30, 2013 consolidated balance sheet. The principal portion of these payments, which totaled $381 million in the first six months of 2013, is included in the Other line in the financing activities section on our consolidated 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 June 30, 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 June 30, 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 June 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 four years. Our maximum potential amount of future payments related to this guarantee is approximately $200 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 June 30, 2013, is $2.1 billion based upon our pro-rata share of the facility used at that date. At June 30, 2013, the carrying value of this guarantee is approximately $114 million. |
12
| 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 3 to 18 years. Our maximum potential amount of future payments, or cost of volume delivery, under these guarantees is estimated to be $1.0 billion ($2.1 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 32 years or the life of the venture. Our maximum potential amount of future payments related to these guarantees is approximately $190 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 June 30, 2013, was approximately $60 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. 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.
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
13
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 June 30, 2013, our balance sheet included a total environmental accrual of $359 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.
14
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 June 30, 2013, we had performance obligations secured by letters of credit of $786 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 Ecuador's 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 December 2010 and June 2013, ConocoPhillips paid, under protest, tax assessments totaling approximately $231 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
15
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 our 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.
The following table presents the gross fair values of our commodity derivatives, excluding collateral, and the line items where they appear on our consolidated balance sheet:

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.
The following table presents the gross fair values of our foreign currency exchange derivatives, excluding collateral, and the line items where they appear on our consolidated balance sheet:

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 June 30, 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 June 30, 2013, and December 31, 2012, was $122 million and $130 million, respectively. For these instruments, no collateral was posted as of June 30, 2013 or December 31, 2012. If our credit rating had been lowered one level from its A rating (per Standard and Poors) on June 30, 2013, we would be required to post no additional collateral to our counterparties. If we had been downgraded below
18
investment grade, we would be required to post $122 million of additional collateral, either with cash or letters of credit.
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.
The following table summarizes the fair value hierarchy for gross financial assets and liabilities (i.e., unadjusted where the right of setoff exists for commodity derivatives accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis):

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. |
| 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 June 30, 2013, and December 31, 2012, effective yield rates were 0.81 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- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013.

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. In 2012, we also agreed to sell our Nigerian and Algerian businesses and our interest in Kashagan. As such, results for these operations have been reported as discontinued operations in all periods presented. Commodity sales to Phillips 66, which were previously eliminated in consolidation prior to the separation, are now reported as third-party sales. 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 rates from continuing operations for the second quarter and first six months of 2013 were 44 percent and 45 percent, respectively, compared with 56 percent and 53 percent for the same two periods of 2012. The lower rates were due primarily to a smaller proportion of income in higher tax jurisdictions in 2013. Additionally, the tax rate for the first six months of 2013 reflected a favorable tax resolution associated with the sale of certain western Canada properties, which occurred in a prior year.
During the first six months of 2013, unrecognized tax benefits decreased $255 million to $617 million at June 30, 2013, mainly due to the favorable tax resolution noted above. Included in this balance is $387 million which, if recognized, would impact our effective tax rate.
For both the second quarter and the first six months of 2013, the effective tax rate in excess of the domestic federal statutory rate of 35 percent was primarily due to foreign taxes.

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 earnings. 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 June 30, 2013, we had approximately 17,500 employees worldwide and total assets of $117 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. As part of our 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 Phillips 66, 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
We are an independent E&P company focused on exploring for, developing and producing crude oil and natural gas globally. Our asset base reflects our legacy as a major company, yet with a more strategic focus on higher-margin developments. Our diverse portfolio primarily includes resource-rich North American shale and oil sands assets; lower-risk legacy assets in Europe, Asia and Australia; several major international developments; and an emerging conventional and unconventional inventory of global exploration prospects. 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 this value proposition through optimizing our portfolio, investing in high-margin developments, applying technical capability and maintaining financial flexibility.
31
In the second quarter of 2013, we achieved production of 1,552 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day (MBOED), including production from discontinued operations of 42 MBOED. Consistent with our commitment to offer our shareholders a compelling dividend, in July 2013, our Board of Directors increased our quarterly dividend by 4.5 percent to $0.69 per share. Through June 2013, we generated $8.3 billion in cash from continuing operations, paid dividends on our common stock of $1.6 billion, funded a $7.5 billion capital program and continued to progress the asset disposition program.
During the first six months of 2013, we received proceeds from dispositions of approximately $1.7 billion, which mainly resulted from:
| The sale of certain properties in the Cedar Creek Anticline, located in North Dakota and Montana. |
| The disposition of a portion of our working interests in the Poseidon discovery in the Browse Basin and the Goldwyer Shale in the Canning Basin. |
| The disposition of certain properties located in southwest Louisiana. |
| The sale of 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 $9.0 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 expect our full-year 2013 capital program will be approximately $15.9 billion for continuing operations and $0.6 billion for discontinued operations. 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
The business environment for the energy industry has historically experienced many challenges which have influenced our operations and profitability, largely due to factors beyond our control, such as the global financial crisis and recession which began in 2008, geopolitical events or fears thereof, environmental laws, tax regulations, governmental policies, and weather-related disruptions. More recently, North Americas energy landscape has been transformed from resource scarcity to an abundance of supply, as a result of advances in technology responsible for the rapid growth of shale production, successful development in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico and rising production from the Canadian oil sands. These dynamics generally influence world energy markets and commodity prices. The most significant factor impacting our profitability and related reinvestment of operating cash flows into our business is commodity prices, which can be very volatile; therefore, our strategy is to maintain a strong balance sheet with a diverse portfolio of assets, which will provide the financial flexibility to withstand challenging business cycles.

Industry crude prices for WTI remained relatively flat in the second quarter of 2013, compared with the same period in 2012, while Brent prices decreased 5 percent in the second quarter of 2013. Global oil prices weakened during the second quarter of 2013, mainly as a result of slowing global economic growth and increasing North American oil supply. The WTI-Brent differential has decreased considerably during 2013, as additional infrastructure helped to alleviate the bottleneck at Cushing, Oklahoma, and as U.S. refineries utilized more domestic light sweet barrels instead of foreign light sweet imports.
Henry Hub natural gas prices increased 86 percent in the second quarter of 2013, compared with the same period in 2012. The increase was due to a colder winter in 2013 compared with 2012, which increased demand and reduced natural gas storage inventories to below the normal inventory levels going into the summer cooling season.
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 15 percent in the second quarter of 2013, compared with the same period of 2012. Bitumen prices strengthened during the second quarter of 2013, as a result of fewer infrastructure constraints downstream of the Hardisty Terminal, which have more than offset the increase in supplies. Our realized bitumen price was $55.69 per barrel in the second quarter of 2013, compared with $39.23 per barrel in the first quarter of 2013 and $51.38 per barrel in the second quarter of 2012.
Key Operating and Financial Highlights
Significant highlights during the second quarter of 2013 included the following:
| Strong second-quarter production performance; raising full-year production guidance. |
| Second-quarter production of 1,552 MBOED, including continuing operations of 1,510 MBOED and discontinued operations of 42 MBOED. |
| Major turnarounds and tie-in activity on plan. |
| Eagle Ford production of 121 MBOED, up 98 percent compared with second-quarter 2012. |
| Christina Lake Phase E startup in July; four additional major projects on track for startup by year end in the North Sea and Malaysia. |
| Exploration momentum continues with drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, Australias Browse Basin, and unconventional plays in Canada and the Lower 48. |
| Increased quarterly dividend by 4.5 percent. |
Outlook
Third quarter 2013 production from continuing operations is expected to be 1,460 to 1,490 MBOED, reflecting previously announced planned downtime and turnaround activity. Full-year 2013 production from continuing operations is expected to be 1,515 to 1,530 MBOED. Full-year 2013 production from discontinued operations is expected to be 25 to 40 MBOED.

Freeport LNG
In July 2013, we reached agreement with Freeport LNG to terminate our long-term agreement at the Freeport LNG Terminal, subject to Freeport LNG obtaining regulatory approval and project financing for an LNG liquefaction and export facility in Texas, in which we are not a participant. Upon satisfaction of these conditions, currently expected to occur by the end of the first quarter of 2014, we will pay Freeport LNG a termination fee of approximately $600 million. Freeport LNG will repay the outstanding ConocoPhillips loan used by Freeport to partially fund the original construction of the terminal. These transactions, plus miscellaneous items, will result in a net cash outflow of approximately $80 million for us. When the agreement becomes effective, we also expect to recognize an after-tax charge to earnings of approximately $540 million. Our terminal regasification capacity will be reduced from 0.9 billion cubic feet per day to 0.4 billion cubic feet per day, until July 1, 2016, at which time it will be reduced to zero. As a result of this transaction, we anticipate saving approximately $50 to $60 million per year in operating costs over the next 19 years. For additional information, see Note 4Variable Interest Entities (VIEs), in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Unless otherwise indicated, discussion of results for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013, is based on a comparison with the corresponding period of 2012.

Earnings for ConocoPhillips increased 20 percent in the second quarter of 2013, while earnings for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, increased 5 percent. The improvements in the second quarter and six-month period of 2013 primarily resulted from:
| Higher volumes, a continued portfolio shift to liquids and a higher proportion of production in high-margin areas. |
| The favorable resolution of pending claims and settlements of $234 million after-tax. |
| Higher natural gas prices. |
| Lower production taxes, primarily as a result of lower production volumes and prices in Alaska. |
These items were partially offset by:
| Lower gains from asset sales. Gains realized in the second quarter of 2013 were $71 million after-tax, compared with gains of $281 million after-tax in the second quarter of 2012. Gains realized in the six-month period of 2013 were $341 million after-tax, compared with gains of $1,220 million after-tax in the six-month period of 2012. |
34
| Lower crude oil, natural gas liquids and LNG prices. |
| Higher depreciation, depletion and amortization (DD&A) expenses, mainly due to higher volumes in the Lower 48 and China. |
In addition, earnings in the six-month period of 2013 benefitted from lower impairments. Non-cash impairments in the six-month period of 2013 totaled $20 million after-tax, compared with impairments in the six-month period of 2012 of $550 million after-tax. Lower bitumen prices partially offset the increase in earnings in the six-month period of 2013.
See the Segment Results section for additional information on our segment results.
Income Statement Analysis
Equity in earnings of affiliates decreased 16 percent in the six-month period of 2013. The decrease primarily resulted from:
| Lower earnings from Qatar Liquefied Gas Company Limited (3) (QG3), largely due to the absence of a $72 million tax-related adjustment recorded in 2012 and lower prices, partly offset by higher volumes. |
| Lower earnings from FCCL Partnership, mainly as a result of lower bitumen prices and higher operating expenses, partly offset by higher bitumen volumes. |
| Lower earnings from Lane Energy Poland Sp.z o.o., primarily due to expenses related to a mechanical dry hole. |
Gain on dispositions decreased 84 percent in the second quarter and 90 percent in the six-month period of 2013. Gains realized in the second quarter of 2013 primarily resulted from the disposition of certain properties located in southwest Louisiana, compared with gains realized in the second quarter of 2012, which mostly resulted from the disposition of our Statfjord and Alba fields located in the North Sea. Additional gains realized in the six-month period of 2013 mainly 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 in 2013. The first quarter of 2012 also included the $937 million gain on sale of our Vietnam business.
Other income increased $137 million in the second quarter and $142 million in the six-month period of 2013, largely as a result of an insurance settlement associated with the Bohai Bay seepage incidents.
Production and operating expenses decreased 7 percent in the second quarter of 2013, primarily as a result of the reduction of an accrual related to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) approval of cost allocation (pooling) agreements with the remaining owners of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System (TAPS).
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 36 percent in the six-month period 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 36 percent in the six-month period of 2013, largely due to lower leasehold impairment costs, partly offset by higher dry hole costs. The six-month period of 2012 included the impairment of undeveloped leasehold costs associated with the Mackenzie Gas Project as a result of the indefinite suspension of the project.
DD&A increased 16 percent in the second quarter and 15 percent in the six-month period of 2013. The increase was mostly associated with higher production volumes in the Lower 48 and China.
Impairments decreased 90 percent in the six-month period of 2013. The six-month period of 2012 included a $213 million impairment of capitalized project development costs associated with the Mackenzie Gas Project,
35
in addition to an increase in the asset retirement obligation for the Don Field in the United Kingdom, which has ceased production. For additional information, see Note 9Impairments, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Taxes other than income taxes decreased 29 percent in the second quarter and 23 percent in the six-month period of 2013, mainly as a result of lower production taxes due to lower crude oil production volumes and prices in Alaska.
Interest and debt expense for the second quarter and six-month period of 2013 decreased 29 and 30 percent, respectively, primarily due to lower interest expense from lower average debt levels and higher capitalized interest on projects.
See Note 22Income Taxes, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for information regarding our provision for income taxes and effective tax rate.

We explore for, produce, transport and market crude oil, bitumen, natural gas, LNG and natural gas liquids on a worldwide basis. At June 30, 2013, our continuing operations were producing in the United States, Norway, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Timor-Leste, Indonesia, China, Malaysia, Qatar, Libya and Russia.
Total production from continuing operations increased 1 percent in the second quarter of 2013 and remained relatively flat in the six-month period of 2013, while average liquids production increased 2 percent and 3 percent over the corresponding periods in 2012. In both periods of 2013, production increased due to new production from major developments, mainly from shale plays in the Lower 48 and the ramp-up of production from new phases at FCCL and Malaysia; higher production in China; and increased drilling programs, mostly in western Canada, the Lower 48 and Norway. These increases were nearly offset by normal field decline, the impact from asset dispositions and higher planned and unplanned downtime.

The Alaska segment primarily explores for, produces, transports and markets crude oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas. As of June 30, 2013, Alaska contributed 23 percent of our worldwide liquids production and 1 percent of our natural gas production.
Alaskas earnings increased 24 percent in the second quarter and 5 percent in the six-month period of 2013, compared with the same periods of 2012. Earnings in both periods of 2013 benefitted from lower production taxes, mainly as a result of lower prices, higher 2013 capital spending and lower crude oil production volumes, as well as the impact of a recent ruling by FERC, as more fully described below. These increases to earnings were partly offset by lower volumes and lower crude oil prices.
In 2012, the major owners of TAPS filed a proposed settlement with FERC to resolve pooling disputes prior to August 2012 and establish a voluntary pooling agreement to pool costs prospectively from August 2012. In July 2013, the FERC approved the proposed settlement and pooling agreement without modification. Under the terms of the agreements, we agreed to pay the other remaining owners of TAPS approximately $356 million, including interest. We expect to pay this amount in the third quarter of 2013. As a result of FERC approval of these agreements, we reduced a related accrual in the second quarter of 2013, which decreased our production and operating expenses by $97 million after-tax.
Average production decreased 8 percent in both the second quarter and six-month period of 2013. The reduction in both periods of 2013 was mostly due to normal field decline.
Chukchi Sea
In April 2013, we announced our 2014 Chukchi Sea exploration drilling plans are on hold given the uncertainties of evolving federal regulatory requirements and operational permitting standards. Once these requirements are clarified and better defined, we will re-evaluate our Chukchi Sea drilling plans.

As of June 30, 2013, Lower 48 and Latin America contributed 27 percent of our worldwide liquids production and 37 percent of our natural gas production. The Lower 48 and Latin America segment primarily consists of operations located in the U.S. Lower 48 states, as well as exploration activities in the Gulf of Mexico and Colombia.
Lower 48 and Latin America operations reported earnings of $247 million in the second quarter of 2013, a 108 percent increase compared with the same period in 2012. Earnings for the six-month period of 2013 were $380 million, a 2 percent increase compared with the same period in 2012. The increases for both periods were primarily due to higher crude oil and natural gas liquids volumes, higher natural gas prices and a $69 million after-tax gain on disposition of certain properties in southwest Louisiana. These increases to earnings were partially offset by higher DD&A, which mainly resulted from higher crude oil and natural gas liquids production, lower natural gas liquids prices and higher operating expenses. Earnings were also negatively impacted by approximately $70 million after-tax for the Thorn dry hole and related leasehold impairment recorded in the second quarter of 2013. Additionally, earnings for the second quarter of 2013 benefitted from higher crude oil prices, while the six-month period of 2013 was impacted by a $52 million after-tax loss on disposition of certain Cedar Creek Anticline properties.
Total average production in the Lower 48 increased 11 percent in the second quarter and 8 percent in the six-month period of 2013. Average liquids production increased 20 percent and 19 percent, respectively, over the same periods. New production, primarily from the Eagle Ford, Bakken and Permian areas, and improved drilling and well performance more than offset normal field decline and the impact from dispositions.
Exploration Update
In the second quarter of 2013, we entered into an agreement with Petrobras to acquire a 20 percent interest in the six-block Gila Joint Operating Agreement located in the Keathley Canyon section of the Gulf of Mexico, where an exploratory well is currently being drilled.

Our Canadian operations comprise mainly natural gas fields in western Canada and oil sands projects in the Athabasca Region of northeastern Alberta. As of June 30, 2013, Canada contributed 17 percent of our worldwide liquids production and 20 percent of our natural gas production.
Canada operations reported earnings of $5 million and $138 million, respectively, in the second quarter and six-month period of 2013, compared with losses of $94 million and $643 million, respectively, in the corresponding periods of 2012. Earnings in the second quarter of 2013 benefitted from higher natural gas and bitumen prices and higher bitumen volumes, partly offset by higher operating expenses. Earnings for the six-month period of 2013 benefitted from the recognition of additional income of $224 million related to the favorable tax resolution associated with the sale of certain western Canada properties in a prior year, as well as the absence of a $520 million after-tax impairment of the Mackenzie Gas Project and associated undeveloped leaseholds in 2012. Additionally, higher natural gas prices and higher bitumen volumes were partially offset by lower bitumen prices in the six-month period of 2013.
Average production increased 1 percent in the second quarter and 3 percent in the six-month period of 2013, while average liquids production increased 12 percent and 17 percent, respectively, over the same periods. The increases in both periods of 2013 were largely due to the ramp-up of production from Christina Lake Phases C and D in FCCL, improved drilling and well performance from western Canada and lower natural gas curtailments, partly offset by normal field decline and higher unplanned downtime.

The Europe segment consists of operations principally located in Norway and the United Kingdom, as well as exploration activities in Poland and Greenland. As of June 30, 2013, our Europe operations contributed 14 percent of our worldwide liquids production and 11 percent of our natural gas production.
Europe operations reported earnings of $261 million in the second quarter of 2013, a decrease of 61 percent compared with the corresponding period of 2012. Earnings for the six-month period of 2013 were $692 million, a 35 percent decrease compared with the same period in 2012. The decreases in earnings in both periods of 2013 were largely due to lower volumes and lower gains from asset dispositions. Gains realized in both periods of 2012 mainly included the $285 million after-tax gain on sale of our interests in the Statfjord and Alba fields. Additionally, lower taxes and higher gains from foreign currency transactions partly offset the decrease in earnings in the six-month period of 2013.
Average production decreased 27 percent in the second quarter and 25 percent in the six-month period of 2013, primarily due to normal field decline, major planned maintenance at Greater Ekofisk and the J-Area, higher unplanned downtime, mostly in the East Irish Sea, and asset dispositions. These decreases were partially offset by improved drilling and well performance in Norway.

The Asia Pacific and Middle East segment has producing operations in China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Australia, Timor-Leste and Qatar, as well as exploration activities in Bangladesh and Brunei. As of June 30, 2013, Asia Pacific and Middle East contributed 14 percent of our worldwide liquids production and 30 percent of our natural gas production.
Asia Pacific and Middle East operations reported earnings of $1,030 million in the second quarter of 2013, a 30 percent increase compared with the same period in 2012. Earnings for the six-month period of 2013 were $1,962 million, a 23 percent decrease compared with the same period in 2012. Earnings in both periods of 2013 mainly benefitted from higher crude oil and LNG volumes, a $146 million after-tax insurance settlement associated with the Bohai Bay seepage incidents, and the absence of an $89 million after-tax charge related to the Bohai Bay settlement with the China State Oceanic Administration in 2012. These improvements were partially offset by lower prices, higher DD&A and the absence of a $72 million tax-related adjustment in 2012. In
42
addition, the absence of the $937 million after-tax Vietnam gain on disposition in 2012 largely contributed to the decrease in earnings in the six-month period of 2013.
Production averaged 324 MBOED in the second quarter of 2013, an increase of 20 percent compared with the second quarter of 2012. For the six-month period of 2013, production averaged 321 MBOED, a 12 percent increase over the corresponding period of 2012. The increase in both periods of 2013 was largely due to:
| Increased production in Bohai Bay, China. |
| New production from Panyu in the South China Sea. |
| The continued ramp-up of production in Malaysia. |
| Lower planned downtime, mainly from our Bayu-Undan Field and Darwin LNG facility. |
These increases were partly offset by normal field decline. Additionally, the increase in production in the six-month period of 2013 was partly offset by the Vietnam disposition.
ChinaBohai Bay
In June 2013, ConocoPhillips received $146 million after-tax related to an insurance settlement associated with two separate seepage incidents which occurred near the Peng Lai 19-3 Platforms B and C in 2011. During 2012, we reached agreements with Chinas Ministry of Agriculture and Chinas State Oceanic Administration to resolve claims related to these seepage incidents. As of June 30, 2013, approximately $153 million related to these agreements paid by ConocoPhillips as operator has not been collected. Discussions to resolve this matter are ongoing.
Asset Dispositions
In the second quarter of 2013, we closed the previously announced arrangement with PetroChina, whereby we sold 20 percent of our working interest in the Poseidon discovery in the Browse Basin and 29 percent of our working interest in Goldwyer Shale in the Canning Basin for approximately $402 million.

The Other International segment includes producing operations in Libya and Russia, as well as exploration activities in Angola and onshore Azerbaijan. As of June 30, 2013, Other International contributed 5 percent of our worldwide liquids production and 1 percent of our natural gas production.
Other International operations reported earnings of $14 million in the second quarter and $28 million in the six-month period of 2013, compared with losses of $57 million and $36 million in the same periods of 2012, respectively. The increases for both periods of 2013 were primarily the result of lower dry hole expenses and higher equity earnings. Higher equity earnings resulted from the disposition of our interest in Naryanmarneftegaz (NMNG) in Russia in 2012.
Average production decreased 8 percent in the second quarter and 4 percent in the six-month period of 2013, compared with the same periods in 2012. The decreases in both periods of 2013 were mostly due to the disposition of our interest in NMNG in 2012, partially offset by higher production in Libya.
Angola
In June 2013, we acquired an additional 20 percent interest in Block 36, which brings our operating interest to 50 percent. Consideration was paid in July 2013.
Senegal
In July 2013, we farmed into three exploration blocks in offshore Senegal with a 35 percent working interest.
Asset Dispositions
In 2012, we announced our intention to sell our 8.4 percent interest in Kashagan and our Algerian and Nigerian 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. The Nigeria and Algeria transactions are expected to close in 2013, subject to customary governmental approvals.
44
In July 2013, we received official notification that the Kazakhstan Ministry of Oil and Gas is exercising its right to pre-empt the proposed sale of our 8.4 percent interest in Kashagan. Expected proceeds are approximately $5.4 billion, including expected working capital and customary adjustments at closing. The transaction is expected to close in 2013.

Net interest consists of interest and financing expense, net of interest income and capitalized interest, as well as premiums incurred on the early retirement of debt. Net interest decreased 21 percent in the second quarter and 27 percent in the six-month period of 2013. The decreases in both periods of 2013 were mainly due to lower interest expense on lower average debt levels and higher interest income. Higher capitalized interest on projects also contributed to the decrease in the six-month period of 2013.
Corporate general and administrative expenses decreased 41 percent in the six-month period of 2013, mostly due to lower costs related to compensation and benefit plans and lower corporate contributions.
Technology includes our investment in new technologies or businesses, as well as licensing revenues received. Activities are focused on heavy oil and oil sands, unconventional reservoirs, subsurface technology, liquefied natural gas, arctic and deepwater, as well as sustainability technology. Earnings from Technology were $41 million in the second quarter and $33 million in the six-month period of 2013, compared with losses of $22 million and $40 million, respectively, in the same periods of 2012. The increases in both periods were primarily due to higher licensing revenues.
Separation costs consist of expenses related to the separation of our Downstream business into a stand-alone, publicly traded company, Phillips 66.
The category Other includes certain foreign currency transaction gains and losses, environmental costs associated with sites no longer in operation, and other costs not directly associated with an operating segment. Other expenses increased $48 million in the second quarter and $42 million in the six-month period of 2013, primarily as a result of higher tax-related adjustments and higher foreign currency transaction losses, partially offset by lower environmental expenses.
Our Corporate and Other segment earnings are estimated to be a $750 million after-tax loss for the full-year 2013.

To meet our short- and long-term liquidity requirements, we look to a variety of funding sources. Cash generated from continuing operating activities is the primary source of funding. In addition, during the first six months of 2013, we received $1,676 million in proceeds from asset sales. We used the remaining $748 million of our restricted cash balance, received in connection with the separation of Phillips 66, solely to pay dividends. During the first six months of 2013, the primary uses of our available cash were $7,096 million to support our ongoing capital expenditures and investments program, $1,629 million to pay dividends and $898 million to repay debt. During the first six months of 2013, cash and cash equivalents increased by $291 million to $3,909 million.
In addition to cash flows from operating activities and proceeds from asset sales, we rely on our commercial paper and credit facility programs, and our shelf registration statement to support our short- and long-term liquidity requirements. We believe current cash balances and cash generated by operations, together with access to external sources of funds as described below in the Significant Sources of Capital section, will be sufficient to meet our funding requirements in the near- and long-term, including our capital spending program, dividend payments, required debt payments and the funding requirements to FCCL Partnership.
Significant Sources of Capital
Operating Activities
Cash provided by continuing operating activities was $8,297 million for the first six months of 2013, compared with $6,148 million for the corresponding period of 2012, a 35 percent increase. The increase was primarily due to lower income taxes, production taxes and other expenses, as well as improvements in working capital due to the timing of certain tax payments.
While the stability of our cash flows from operating activities benefits from geographic diversity, our short- and long-term operating cash flows are highly dependent upon prices for crude oil, bitumen, natural gas, LNG and natural gas liquids. Prices and margins in our industry are typically volatile and are driven by market conditions over which we have no control. Absent other mitigating factors, as these prices and margins fluctuate, we would expect a corresponding change in our operating cash flows.
The level of our production volumes also impacts our cash flows. These production levels are impacted by such factors as acquisitions and dispositions of fields, field production decline rates, new technologies, operating efficiency, weather conditions, the addition of proved reserves through exploratory success, and their timely and cost-effective development. While we actively manage these factors, production levels can cause variability in cash flows, although generally this variability has not been as significant as that caused by commodity prices.
46
Asset Sales
Proceeds from asset sales during the first six months of 2013 were $1,676 million, primarily from the sale of the majority of our properties in the Cedar Creek Anticline and the sale of a portion of our working interests in the Browse and Canning basins. This compares with proceeds of $1,566 million in the first six months of 2012, primarily from the sale of our Vietnam business and the sale of our interest in the Statfjord and Alba fields in the North Sea. We have announced additional asset sales of approximately $9.0 billion which are expected to close in 2013. We continue to evaluate opportunities to further optimize the portfolio.
Commercial Paper and Credit Facilities
At June 30, 2013, we had a revolving credit facility totaling $7.5 billion expiring in August 2016. Our revolving credit facility may be used as direct bank borrowings, as support for issuances of letters of credit totaling up to $750 million, or as support for our commercial paper programs. The revolving credit facility is broadly syndicated among financial institutions and does not contain any material adverse change provisions or any covenants requiring maintenance of specified financial ratios or ratings. The facility agreement contains a cross-default provision relating to the failure to pay principal or interest on other debt obligations of $200 million or more by ConocoPhillips, or by any of its consolidated subsidiaries.
Credit facility borrowings may bear interest at a margin above rates offered by certain designated banks in the London interbank market or at a margin above the overnight federal funds rate or prime rates offered by certain designated banks in the United States. The agreement calls for commitment fees on available but unused amounts. The agreement also contains early termination rights if our current directors or their approved successors cease to be a majority of the Board of Directors.
Our primary funding source for short-term working capital needs is the ConocoPhillips $6.35 billion commercial paper program. Commercial paper maturities are generally limited to 90 days. We also have the ConocoPhillips Qatar Funding Ltd. $1.15 billion commercial paper program, which is used to fund commitments relating to QG3. At both June 30, 2013, and December 31, 2012, we had no direct borrowings or letters of credit issued under the revolving credit facilities. In addition, under the ConocoPhillips Qatar Funding Ltd. commercial paper programs, $1,009 million of commercial paper was outstanding at June 30, 2013, compared with $1,055 million at December 31, 2012. Since we had $1,009 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 June 30, 2013.
Certain of our project-related contracts and derivative instruments contain provisions requiring us to post collateral. Although cash is the primary form of collateral, many of these contracts and instruments permit us to post letters of credit. At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we had direct bank letters of credit of $786 million and $852 million, respectively, which secured performance obligations related to various purchase commitments incident to the ordinary conduct of business.
Shelf Registration
We have a universal shelf registration statement on file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission under which we, as a well-known seasoned issuer, have the ability to issue and sell an indeterminate amount of various types of debt and equity securities.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As part of our normal ongoing business operations and consistent with normal industry practice, we enter into numerous agreements with other parties to pursue business opportunities, which share costs and apportion risks among the parties as governed by the agreements.
For information about guarantees, see Note 13Guarantees, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, which is incorporated herein by reference.
47
Capital Requirements
For information about our capital expenditures and investments, see the Capital Spending section.
Our debt balance at both June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, was $21.7 billion. In April 2013, we repaid bonds at maturity totaling $850 million. In June 2013, we incurred a capital lease obligation of $906 million. For more information, see Note 10Debt, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
We are obligated to contribute $7.5 billion, plus interest, over a 10-year period that began in 2007, to FCCL. 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 $793 million was short-term and was included in the Accounts payablerelated parties line on our June 30, 2013 consolidated balance sheet. The principal portion of these payments, which totaled $381 million in the first six months of 2013, is included in the Other line in the financing activities section on our consolidated 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.
In May 2013, we announced a dividend of 66 cents per share. The dividend was paid June 3, 2013, to stockholders of record at the close of business on May 24, 2013. In July 2013, we announced a 4.5 percent increase in the quarterly dividend rate to 69 cents per share. The dividend will be paid September 3, 2013, to stockholders of record at the close of business on July 22, 2013.

During the first six months of 2013, capital expenditures and investments from continuing operations supported key exploration and development programs, primarily:
| Oil and natural gas exploration and development activities in the Lower 48, including the Eagle Ford, Bakken and Niobrara shale plays, and the Permian Basin. |
| Exploration leases and wells in deepwater Gulf of Mexico. |
| Oil sands development and ongoing liquids-focused plays in Canada. |
| Continued development of new fields offshore Malaysia and ongoing exploration and development activity onshore and offshore Indonesia and Australia. |
| In Europe, development activities in the Greater Ekofisk, Jasmine and Clair Ridge areas, and appraisal activities in the Greater Clair Area. |
48
Contingencies
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. For information on other contingencies, see Note 14Contingencies and Commitments, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Legal Matters
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.
Environmental
We are subject to the same numerous international, federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations as other companies in our industry. For a discussion of the most significant of these environmental laws and regulations, including those with associated remediation obligations, see the Environmental section in Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations on pages 5860 of our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
We occasionally receive requests for information or notices of potential liability from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and state environmental agencies alleging that we are a potentially responsible party under the Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) or an equivalent state statute. On occasion, we also have been made a party to cost recovery litigation by those agencies or by private parties. These requests, notices and lawsuits assert potential liability for remediation costs at various sites that typically are not owned by us, but allegedly contain wastes attributable to our past operations. As of December 31, 2012, we reported we had been notified of potential liability under CERCLA and comparable state laws at 11 sites around the United States. As of June 30, 2013, we had been notified of 2 new sites, increasing the number of unresolved sites with potential liability to 13 sites.
49
At June 30, 2013, our balance sheet included a total environmental accrual of $359 million, compared with $364 million at December 31, 2012. We expect to incur a substantial amount of these expenditures within the next 30 years.
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, and as with other companies engaged in similar businesses, environmental costs and liabilities are inherent concerns in our operations and products, and there can be no assurance that material costs and liabilities will not be incurred. However, we currently do not expect any material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial position as a result of compliance with current environmental laws and regulations.
Climate Change
There has been a broad range of proposed or promulgated state, national and international laws focusing on greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction. These proposed or promulgated laws apply or could apply in countries where we have interests or may have interests in the future. Laws in this field continue to evolve, and while it is not possible to accurately estimate either a timetable for implementation or our future compliance costs relating to implementation, such laws, to the extent enacted, could have a material impact on our results of operations and financial condition. Examples of legislation and precursors for possible regulation that do or could affect our operations include the EPAs announcement on March 29, 2010 (published as Interpretation of Regulations that Determine Pollutants Covered by Clean Air Act Permitting Programs, 75 Fed. Reg. 17004 (April 2, 2010)) and the EPAs and U.S. Department of Transportations joint promulgation of a Final Rule on April 1, 2010, that trigger regulation of GHGs under the Clean Air Act, may trigger more climate-based claims for damages, and may result in longer agency review time for development projects.
For other examples of legislation or precursors for possible regulation and factors on which the ultimate impact on our financial performance will depend, see the Climate Change section in Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations on pages 6062 of our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Information about market risks for the six months ended June 30, 2013, does not differ materially from that discussed under Item 7A in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Act), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As of June 30, 2013, with the participation of our management, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and our Executive Vice President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer) carried out an evaluation, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Act, of ConocoPhillips disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Act). Based upon that evaluation, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and our Executive Vice President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were operating effectively as of June 30, 2013.
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Act, in the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
52
The following is a description of reportable legal proceedings including those involving governmental authorities under federal, state and local laws regulating the discharge of materials into the environment for this reporting period. The following proceedings include those matters that arose during the second quarter of 2013 and any material developments with respect to matters previously reported in ConocoPhillips 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K. While it is not possible to accurately predict the final outcome of these pending proceedings, if any one or more of such proceedings were to be decided adversely to ConocoPhillips, we expect there would be no material effect on our consolidated financial position. Nevertheless, such proceedings are reported pursuant to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulations.
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, we entered into an Indemnification and Release Agreement, which provides for cross-indemnities between Phillips 66 and us and established procedures for handling claims subject to indemnification and related matters, such as legal proceedings. We have included matters where we remain a party to a proceeding relating to Phillips 66, in accordance with SEC regulations. We do not expect any of those matters to result in a net claim against us.
Matters Previously ReportedConocoPhillips
The North Dakota Department of Health requested the operators in the Bakken Pool Area, including ConocoPhillips, to enter into an Administrative Consent Agreement (ACA) to resolve alleged historic violations of the states air emission regulations. ConocoPhillips has entered into an ACA and has paid a penalty of $155,200. This matter is now resolved.
Matters Previously ReportedPhillips 66
In December 2011, ConocoPhillips was notified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of alleged violations related to the use of Renewable Identification Numbers (RINs). Phillips 66 was one of several companies who entered into Administrative Settlement Agreements (ASAs) with the EPA to settle allegations it had used invalid RINs for its 2010 and 2011 fuel program compliance. Under the ASAs, Phillips 66 previously paid a penalty of $250,000 and in June 2013, upon demand from the EPA, Phillips 66 paid a final penalty of $100,000. This matter is now resolved.
There have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in Item 1A of our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
