The Other International segment and Exploration function include a balanced, global portfolio of high-quality conventional and unconventional exploration opportunities.
ConocoPhillips has proved reserves of approximately 5.3 billion barrels of oil equivalent (BOE) and a large, diverse, low cost of supply resource base that provides the company with significant flexibility for future growth.
In 2019, ConocoPhillips’ exploration strategy emphasized flexibility and discovering new barrels accretive to its existing portfolio. The company’s 2019 exploration focused on select business units: Alaska, Lower 48, Canada, Norway and Malaysia — where existing infrastructure and experience can be leveraged. In addition to these focus areas, ConocoPhillips concentrates on international exploration opportunities that provide both scale and flexibility, with international new-venture activity ongoing in Latin America, including a new position in Argentina.

AlaskaConocoPhillips is one of the largest owners of exploration leases in Alaska, with approximately 1.3 million net undeveloped acres at year-end 2019. In 2019, the company further strengthened its position in Alaska during the fourth quarter through a federal lease sale on the North Slope. ConocoPhillips was high bidder on three tracts for a total of approximately 33,000 net acres.
Kuparuk River Unit Operator: ConocoPhillips (94.5%)In 2019, the company acquired 21,000 acres of the Nuna discovery. The company plans to develop this resource by leveraging existing Kuparuk infrastructure. First oil is planned for 2022.
Bear Tooth UnitOperator: ConocoPhillips (100.0%)In 2016, ConocoPhillips drilled two exploration wells in the northeast portion of the NPR-A that encountered significant pay, making the Willow discovery. Appraisal of the discovery commenced in January 2017 with the acquisition of state-of-the-art 3-D seismic data. In 2018, the company appraised the greater Willow area with three additional wells and three tests. Evaluation continued throughout 2019 with five appraisal wells, with further appraisal of Willow planned in 2020.
Colville River Unit Operator: ConocoPhillips (100%)In late 2018, ConocoPhillips commenced appraisal of the Putu discovery in the Narwhal trend with a long-reach horizontal well from existing Alpine CD4 infrastructure. The Narwhal appraisal well finished drilling and testing in 2019. A supporting injector well was drilled in 2019 and will be tested in 2020.
Exploration of State and Federal LeasesConocoPhillips drilled the West Willow-1 exploration well to the west of the Bear Tooth Unit in 2018, resulting in an oil discovery. The West Willow-2 well was drilled in 2019 and appraised the oil discovery.
In 2018, ConocoPhillips drilled the Stony Hill-1 well on federal leasehold, resulting in an oil discovery.
Additionally in 2018, ConocoPhillips acquired a 3-D seismic survey on the state leasehold and continues evaluating this data.
Existing Business Units
The company will explore the Harpoon prospect located approximately 25 miles southwest of Willow, targeting the Brookian topset geological play.
Lower 48OnshoreConocoPhillips’ total onshore acreage position in the Lower 48 unconventional plays is approximately 1.7 million net acres. The onshore exploration focus areas include the Delaware Basin in the Permian as well as several emerging plays. The company continues to identify and assess other uncon-ventional opportunities.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENTThis fact sheet contains forward-looking statements. We based the forward-looking statements on our current expectations, estimates and projections about ourselves and the industries in which we operate in general. We caution you that these statements are not guarantees of future performance as they involve assumptions that, while made in good faith, may prove to be incorrect, and involve risks and uncertainties we cannot predict. In addition, we based many of these forward-looking statements on assumptions about future events that may prove to be inaccurate. Accordingly, our actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what we have expressed or forecast in the forward-looking statements. Economic, business, competitive and other factors that may affect ConocoPhillips’ business are set forth in ConocoPhillips’ filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (including in Item 1A of our Form 10-K), which may be accessed at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
Definition of resources: ConocoPhillips uses the term “resources” in this document. The company estimates its total resources based on a system developed by the Society of Petroleum Engineers that classifies recoverable hydrocarbons into six categories based on their status at the time of reporting. Three (proved, probable and possible reserves) are deemed commercial and three others are deemed noncommercial or contingent. The company’s resource estimate encompasses volumes associated with all six categories. The SEC permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only proved, probable and possible reserves. We use the term “resources” in this fact sheet that the SEC’s guidelines prohibit us from including in filings with the SEC. U.S. investors are urged to consider closely the oil and gas disclosure in our Form 10-K and other reports and filings with the SEC.
