Notes
  1. ConocoPhillips equity share of emissions from operated and non-operated assets based on the company’s financial interest.
  2. Using net production values reported in ConocoPhillips 2021 Annual Report, which represent the company’s equity share of total production.
  3. GHG intensity target excludes emissions from exploration and transportation services (i.e. Polar Tankers and Global Aviation), which are not directly related to oil or gas production. This may give rise to small differences between the intensity we report for our GHG target purposes and our total greenhouse gas intensity. The company set a medium-term target to reduce our gross operated and net equity operational GHG emissions intensity by 40% to 50% by 2030, from a 2016 baseline.
  4. Data is based on assets where we have operational control. Environmental data is represented as 100% ownership interest regardless of actual share owned by ConocoPhillips with acquisitions and divestitures aligned with financial reporting. To provide the most current and accurate data available, we have updated previously reported data for prior years as needed.
  5. Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions divided by sales and other operating revenues.
  6. Includes CO 2 from operations, methane (CO 2 equivalent), Nitrous Oxide (CO 2 equivalent).
  7. Includes marine and aviation support operations.
  8. In 2020, we endorsed the World Bank Zero Routine Flaring by 2030 initiative. Routine flaring is defined as flaring that occurs during the normal production of oil in the absence of sufficient facilities to utilize the gas onsite, dispatch it to a market, or reinject it. Total flaring volume represents total hydrocarbons to flare including produced gas, upsets, tank vapors, etc.routed to flares.
  9. Calculated as total fresh water withdrawn minus total fresh water discharged in 2021.
  10. Based on World Resources Institute Aqueduct Risk Atlas water stress mapping layer as of December 31, 2021 and calculated as the percentage of total fresh water withdrawn.
  11. Based on World Resources Institute Aqueduct Risk Atlas water stress mapping layer as of December 31, 2021 and calculated as the percentage of total fresh water consumed.
  12. Includes water withdrawn from saline/brackish groundwater aquifers and seawater.
  13. Includes produced water recycled for production (e.g. steam generation) or completions (e.g. hydraulic fracturing) and produced water reused for enhanced oil recovery.
  14. Calculated using Enverus data for the average volume of fresh water (BBL) divided by the average estimated ultimate recovery (EUR, BOE) as of April 6, 2022. Intensity value may change as EUR data are updated.
  15. Calculated using the average volume of fresh water (BBL) divided by the average annual production (BOE).
  16. Operated lease area overlapping with IUCN I-VI protected areas based on World Database on Protected Areas accessed on December 31, 2021.
  17. Cumulative acreage includes impact avoidance, grassland and wetland restoration, habitat conservation, biodiversity offsets and voluntary conservation areas.
  18. Operated assets with species observed or known to occur based on IUCN Red List of Threatened Species mapping tool accessed on December 31, 2021.
  19. All but one of the Arctic releases over five years were to gravel pads.
  20. Rate of process safety events of greater consequence as defined by API 752 and IOGP 456 Standards.
  21. Payments to vendors and suppliers is an estimate based on Production and Operating Expenses and Capital Program.
  22. Rates are shown including and excluding COVID-19 work-related illnesses experienced in 2020, as defined by OSHA.
  23. Data may not equal 100% due to rounding.
  24. Employee headcount based on active employees as of December 31, 2021.
  25. U.S. workforce demographics account only for self-reported data.
  26. POC: People of Color (includes ethnic/racial groups defined per the U.S. Census).
  27. As of December 31, 2021.
  28. Production data is average daily net production from continuing operations.
  29. Data is normalized using barrels of oil equivalent (BOE) from production operations, including gas plant liquid production of ethane, propane, butane and condensate and LNG production from third-party gas not accounted for in production operations. For gas production, 6,000 standard cubic feet of gas is assumed to equal one BOE.
  30. In the 20 lowest-ranked countries per Transparency International's Corruption Perception Index.
