Legal Proceedings

Legal Proceedings

We are a defendant

in a number of legal and administrative

proceedings arising in the ordinary course

of business,

including those involving governmental

authorities under federal, state

and local laws regulating the discharge

of

materials into the environment.

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.

See

Note 11

for a description of such

legal and administrative

proceedings.

Stock Performance Graph

The following graph shows the cumulative

TSR for ConocoPhillips' common stock

in each of the five years from

December 31, 2016 to December 31, 2021.

The graph also compares the cumulative

total returns for the

same

five-year period with the S&P 500 Index and our

performance peer group consisting

of Chevron, ExxonMobil,

Apache, Marathon Oil Corporation,

Devon, Occidental, Hess, and EOG weighted

according to the respective peer's

stock market capitalization

at the beginning of each annual period.

The comparison assumes $100 was invested

on December 31, 2016, in ConocoPhillips stock, the S&P 500 Index

and ConocoPhillips' peer group and assumes that

all dividends were reinvested.

The cumulative total returns

of

the peer group companies' common stock

do not include the cumulative total return

of ConocoPhillips' common

stock.

The stock price performance included in this graph

is not necessarily indicative of future stock

price

performance.
