Business Combination, Asset Acquisition And Dispositions [Abstract] |
Acquisitions and Dispositions | Note 3—Acquisitions and Dispositions All gains or losses on asset dispositions are reported before-tax and are included net in the “Gain (loss) on dispositions” line on our consolidated income statement. Cash proceeds and payments are included in the “Cash Flows From Investing Activities” section of our consolidated statement of cash flows except for cash payments associated with a contingent consideration arrangement that are included in the "Cash Flows From Financing Activities" section. 2024 Acquisition of Marathon Oil Corporation (Marathon Oil) In November 2024, we completed our acquisition of Marathon Oil, an independent oil and gas exploration and production company with operations across the Lower 48 and in Equatorial Guinea. At close, the transaction was valued at $16.5 billion, which primarily represented 0.255 shares of ConocoPhillips common stock exchanged for each outstanding share of Marathon Oil common stock.
Total Fair Value | Millions of Dollars
Value of ConocoPhillips common stock issued* | 15,972 |
Cash transferred at close** | 451 |
Value attributable to Marathon Oil share-based awards | 67 |
Other liabilities incurred*** | 17 |
Total Fair Value (Millions) | $ | 16,507 |
*Represents the fair value of approximately 143 million shares of ConocoPhillips common stock issued to Marathon Oil stockholders. The fair value is based on the number of eligible shares of Marathon Oil common stock at a 0.255 exchange ratio and ConocoPhillips' average stock price on November 22, 2024, which was $111.93. **Cash transferred at close primarily represents funds contributed to Marathon Oil for repayment of Marathon Oil's estimated commercial paper liabilities as of the closing date. ***Liabilities incurred are related to cash settled share-based awards and payment of cash in lieu of fractional Marathon Oil shares outstanding. These liabilities were settled prior to the end of 2024. The transaction was accounted for as a business combination under FASB Topic ASC 805 using the acquisition method, which requires assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be measured at their acquisition date fair values. Fair value measurements were made for acquired assets and liabilities, and adjustments to those measurements may be made in subsequent periods, up to one year from the acquisition date, as we identify new information about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date to consider. At December 31, 2024, remaining items to finalize include allocation of fair value to unproved properties. The impact of finalizing the fair value allocation is not expected to have a material impact to our consolidated financial statements. Oil and gas properties were valued using a discounted cash flow approach incorporating market participant and internally generated price assumptions; production profiles; and operating and development cost assumptions. Debt assumed in the acquisition was valued based on observable market prices. The fair values of accounts receivable, accounts payable, and most other current assets and current liabilities were determined to be equivalent to the carrying value due to their short-term nature. The acquisition, valued at $16.5 billion, was allocated to the identifiable assets and liabilities based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date of November 22, 2024.

With the completion of the transaction, we acquired proved properties of approximately $13.2 billion, with $12.1 billion in Lower 48 and $1.1 billion in Equatorial Guinea, and unproved properties of $10.8 billion in Lower 48. We recognized approximately $545 million of transaction-related costs, the majority of which were expensed in the fourth quarter of 2024. These non-recurring costs related primarily to employee severance and related benefits, fees paid to advisors and the settlement of share-based awards for certain Marathon Oil employees based on the terms of the Merger Agreement. These transaction-related costs included $328 million of employee severance expense. See Note 15. For the year ended December 31, 2024, "Total Revenues and Other Income" and "Net Income (Loss)" associated with the acquired assets were $677 million and income of $66 million, respectively. Alaska Acquisition In the fourth quarter of 2024, after exercising our preferential rights, we completed an acquisition that increased our working interest by approximately 5 percent in the Kuparuk River Unit and approximately 0.4 percent in the Prudhoe Bay Unit from Chevron U.S.A. Inc. and Union Oil Company of California for $296 million, before customary adjustments. The transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition, with the consideration allocated primarily to PP&E. Assets Held For Sale In December 2024, we entered into an agreement to sell our interests in certain noncore assets in the Lower 48 segment for $235 million, before customary adjustments. These assets have a net carrying value of approximately $235 million, which consists primarily of $251 million of PP&E and $16 million of liabilities, primarily noncurrent AROs. These assets met held for sale criteria in the fourth quarter of 2024, and as of December 31, 2024, we reclassified the PP&E to “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” and the noncurrent liabilities to “Other accruals” on our consolidated balance sheet. This transaction is anticipated to close in the first quarter of 2025. Planned Dispositions In January 2025, we entered into an agreement to sell our interests in certain noncore assets in the Lower 48 segment for approximately $400 million, before customary adjustments. This transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2025. 2023 Surmont Acquisition In October 2023, we completed our acquisition of the remaining 50 percent working interest in Surmont, an asset in our Canada segment, from TotalEnergies EP Canada Ltd. Following the acquisition, we own 100 percent working interest in Surmont. The final consideration for the all-cash transaction was $3.0 billion (CAD $4.1 billion) after customary adjustments:
Fair value of consideration | Millions of Dollars
Cash paid | $ | 2,635 |
Contingent consideration | 320 |
Total consideration | $ | 2,955 |
The contingent consideration arrangement requires additional consideration to be paid to TotalEnergies EP Canada Ltd. up to $0.4 billion CAD over a five-year term. The contingent payments represent $2 million for every dollar that WCS pricing exceeds $52 per barrel during the month, subject to certain production targets being achieved. The undiscounted amounts we could pay under this arrangement was up to $0.3 billion USD at closing. The fair value of the contingent consideration on the acquisition date was $320 million and estimated by applying the income approach. For the year ended December 31, 2024, we have made payments of $158 million USD under this arrangement, reflected in the "Other" line within the Financing Activities section of our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. See Note 12. The transaction was accounted for as a business combination under FASB Topic ASC 805 using the acquisition method, which requires assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be measured at their acquisition date fair values. By the end of the first quarter of 2024, we finalized the allocation of the purchase price to specific assets and liabilities. It was based on the fair value of the final consideration and the conclusion of the fair value determination of long-lived assets and all other assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Oil and gas properties were valued using a discounted cash flow approach incorporating market participant and internally generated price assumptions, production profiles and operating and development cost assumptions. The fair values of other assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which included accounts receivable, accounts payable, and most other current assets and current liabilities, were determined to be equivalent to the carrying value due to their short-term nature. The total consideration of $3.0 billion was allocated to the identifiable assets and liabilities based on their fair values as of the acquisition date of October 4, 2023.
Recognized amounts of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed | Millions of Dollars
Oil and gas properties | 3,082 |
Asset retirement obligations | (112) |
Other | (15) |
Total identifiable net assets | $ | 2,955 |
With the completion of the transaction, we acquired proved and unproved properties of approximately $2.9 billion and $0.2 billion, respectively. In anticipation of the acquisition, we entered into, and settled, various foreign exchange forward contracts to purchase CAD. For the year ended December 31, 2023, we recognized a loss of $112 million in the "Foreign currency transaction (gain) loss" line on our consolidated income statement associated with these forward contracts. The related cash flows are included within "Cash Flows From Investing Activities" on our consolidated statement of cash flows. From the acquisition date through December 31, 2023, "Total Revenues and Other Income" and "Net Income (Loss)" associated with the acquired assets were $572 million and $119 million, respectively.

The unaudited supplemental pro forma financial information is presented for illustration purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the operating results that would have occurred had the transaction been completed on January 1, 2022, and January 1, 2023, respectively, nor is it necessarily indicative of future operating results of the combined entity. The pro forma results do not include cost savings anticipated as a result of the transaction. The pro forma results include adjustments which relate primarily to DD&A, which is based on the unit-of-production method, resulting from the purchase price allocated to oil and gas properties as well as adjustments for the timing of transaction costs and tax impacts. We believe the estimates and assumptions are reasonable, and the relative effects of the transaction are properly reflected. QatarEnergy LNG NFS(3) (NFS3) During 2022, we were awarded a 25 percent interest in NFS3, a new joint venture with QatarEnergy, to participate in the North Field South (NFS) LNG project. Formation of NFS3 closed during 2023. NFS3 has a 25 percent interest in the NFS project and is reported as an equity method investment in our Europe, Middle East and North Africa segment. See Note 4. Port Arthur Liquefaction Holdings, LLC (PALNG) During 2023, we acquired a 30 percent interest in PALNG, a joint venture for the development of a large-scale LNG facility for the first phase of the Port Arthur LNG project ("Phase 1"). Sempra PALNG Holdings, LLC owns the remaining 70 percent interest in the joint venture. PALNG is reported as an equity method investment in our Corporate and Other segment. See Note 4. Contingent Payments We recorded contingent payments related to the previous dispositions of our working interests in the Foster Creek Christina Lake Partnership and western Canada gas assets, and our San Juan assets. Contingent payments were recorded as (gain) loss on disposition on our consolidated income statement and reflected within our Canada and Lower 48 segments. In our Canada segment, the contingent payment, calculated and paid quarterly, was $6 million CAD for every $1 CAD by which the WCS quarterly average crude oil price exceeded $52 CAD per barrel. In our Lower 48 segment, the contingent payment, paid annually, was calculated monthly at $7 million per month when the U.S. Henry Hub natural gas price was at or above $3.20 per MMBTU. The term of contingent payments in our Canada segment ended in the second quarter of 2022 and the term of contingent payments in our Lower 48 segment ended at the end of 2023. Contingent payments recorded in the years 2023 and 2022 were $7 million and $451 million, respectively. 2022 Acquisition of Additional Shareholding Interest in Australia Pacific LNG (APLNG) In February 2022, we completed the acquisition of an additional 10 percent interest in APLNG from Origin Energy for approximately $1.4 billion, after customary adjustments, in an all-cash transaction resulting from the exercise of our preemption right. This increased our ownership in APLNG to 47.5 percent, with Origin Energy and Sinopec owning 27.5 percent and 25.0 percent, respectively. APLNG is reported as an equity investment in our Asia Pacific segment. QatarEnergy LNG NFE(4) (NFE4) During 2022, we were awarded a 25 percent interest in NFE4, a new joint venture with QatarEnergy to participate in the North Field East (NFE) LNG project. NFE4 has a 12.5 percent interest in the NFE project and is reported as an equity method investment in our Europe, Middle East and North Africa segment. See Note 4. Asset Acquisition In September 2022, we completed the acquisition of an additional working interest in certain Eagle Ford acreage in the Lower 48 segment for cash consideration of $236 million after customary adjustments. This agreement was accounted for as an asset acquisition, with the consideration allocated primarily to PP&E. Assets Sold During 2022, we sold our interests in certain noncore assets in our Lower 48 segment for net proceeds of $680 million, with no gain or loss recognized on sale. At the time of disposition, our interest in these assets had a net carrying value of $680 million, consisting of $825 million of assets, primarily related to $818 million of PP&E, and $145 million of liabilities, primarily related to AROs. In March 2022, we completed the divestiture of our subsidiaries that held our Indonesia assets and operations, and based on an effective date of January 1, 2021, we received net proceeds of $731 million after customary adjustments and recognized a $534 million before-tax and $462 million after-tax gain related to this transaction. Together, the subsidiaries sold indirectly held our 54 percent interest in the Indonesia Corridor Block PSC and 35 percent shareholding in the Transasia Pipeline Company. At the time of the disposition, the net carrying value was approximately $0.2 billion, excluding $0.2 billion of cash and restricted cash. The net book value consisted primarily of $0.3 billion of PP&E and $0.1 billion of ARO. The before-tax earnings associated with the subsidiaries sold, excluding the gain on disposition noted above, was $138 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. Results of operations for the Indonesia interests sold were reported in our Asia Pacific segment.
