Talk:ConocoPhillips

Hi, it has been one week and I haven’t heard back from the community on these factual edits to the ConocoPhillips page. I wanted to follow up before making any edits directly. Thank you for your thoughts - Afauve (talk) 17:49, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

RE: Request Edits
Hi! I work for ConocoPhillips and recognize that I have a clear conflict of interest tied to editing related articles. I noticed there are a few errors in this article and wanted to flag them for the community first for transparency before I make any edits. I would like to make sure the article is up to date and reflects general consensus. Here are the updates for consideration:

Sidebar •	In the right sidebar under the ConocoPhillips logo, the image shows the company's old headquarters. (The headquarters moved in 2018.) Updated images of the ConocoPhillips Center are available in the ConocoPhillips media library. I recommend changing the existing image to an accurate image: o	Image: https://static.conocophillips.com/files/pages/conocophillipscenter.jpg o	Media Library: https://www.conocophillips.com/news-media/multimedia-gallery/)

•	Under “Products”, add Liquefied Natural Gas o	 https://static.conocophillips.com/files/resources/conocophillips-2020-annual-report.pdf (2020 Annual Report, Page 2) o	Wiki link for Liquefied Natural Gas: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquefied_natural_gas

Article: Introduction. Paragraph 1 •	First Sentence: Change ConocoPhillips …”engaged in hydrocarbon exploration.” to “engaged in hydrocarbon exploration and production.” o	 https://www.conocophillips.com/about-us/

Article: Introduction. Paragraph 2 •	First sentence: Change “17 countries” to “15 countries” o	 https://static.conocophillips.com/files/resources/conocophillips-2020-annual-report.pdf (2020 Annual Report, Page 2) •	First sentence: Delete “Timor-Leste.” The company sold its interests in 2019. o	 https://www.conocophillips.com/news-media/story/conocophillips-closes-sale-of-its-interest-in-greater-sunrise-fields/

Article: Introduction. Paragraph 4 •	Change “…ranked 93rd” to “ranked 156th”. o	 https://fortune.com/company/conocophillips/fortune500/

•	Change “In the 2020 Forbes Global 2000, ConocoPhillips was ranked as the 201st-largest public company in the world.” To “In the 2021 Forbes Global 2000, ConocoPhillips was ranked as the 574th largest public company in the world.” o	 https://www.forbes.com/companies/conocophillips/?list=global2000/&sh=504d9ce73ab7

•	Add additional Forbes rankings: “ConocoPhillips also ranked 207th on Forbes Best Employers for Diversity (2021), 125th on Forbes America’s Best Employers (2021) and 76th on Forbes Canada’s Best Employers (2021). o	 https://www.forbes.com/companies/conocophillips/?list=global2000/&sh=504d9ce73ab7

Article: Introduction. Paragraph 6. •	Change “The Conoco Museum in Ponca City, Oklahoma is…” to “The Conoco Museum in Ponca City, Oklahoma and the Phillips Petroleum Company Museum in Bartlesville, Oklahoma are…” o	 (same as current): https://aoghs.org/energy-education-resources/conocophillips-petroleum-museums/ o	Wiki link to Bartlesville Oklahoma: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bartlesville,_Oklahoma

Article: Missing Section. •	There is currently no description of ConocoPhillips’ operations. Recommend adding:

Operations: Exploration and Production ConocoPhillips explores for, produces, transports and markets crude oil, bitumen, natural gas, natural gas liquids and liquefied natural gas on a worldwide basis. https://static.conocophillips.com/files/resources/21-0034-2021-conocophillips-fact-sheets-overview.pdf

The company manages its operations through six operating segments, defined by geographic region: Alaska; Lower 48; Canada; Europe, Middle East and North Africa; Asia Pacific; and Other International. https://static.conocophillips.com/files/resources/conocophillips-2020-annual-report.pdf (2020 Annual Report, Page 2)

Article: Board of Directors •	In the “Board of directors” section, the list of board of directors is outdated. ( http://www.conocophillips.com/investor-relations/corporate-governance/board-of-directors/board-members/)

o	Change the following list of board of directors: 	Charles Bunch, CEO and chairman of PPG Industries 	Caroline Maury Devine, former president and managing director of a Norwegian affiliate of ExxonMobil 	John V.

Seaton, Former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Fluor Corporation 	R.A. Walker, Former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Anadarko Petroleum Corporation

o	Additionally, the following content should be moved to the History section, as it is not relevant to the board of directors: “On 1 August 2020, Steinar Våge who has been with the ConocoPhillips company since 1988, was elected into the position of President for ConocoPhillips Europe, Middle East and North Africa. He was previously the Senior Vice President of Global Operations, Wells and Projects at the corporate headquarters in Huston, United States, and is now located in Stravanger where the main office is located.[53]"

Hi, it’s Afauve again from ConocoPhillips. Since I haven’t heard any feedback on this, I wanted to come back to the talk pages to state that I made the proposed edits directly to the page. Just wanted to flag the edits again to maintain transparency and acknowledge that I have a clear conflict of interest. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Afauve (talk • contribs) 23:16, 16 November 2021 (UTC)

Giant History Gap
This page either grossly overlaps the Conoco page or is grossly incomplete. I propose that the history section needs to be reworked to incorporate the Conoco history by reference and not as a separate timeline. This would be consistent with other petroleum company pages where there’s a distinct history of the pre-merger companies and then one starting with the run-up to the merger.
