Second-Quarter Review
Production for the second quarter of 2023 was 1,805 MBOED, an increase of 113 MBOED from the same period a year ago. After adjusting for impacts from closed acquisitions and dispositions, second-quarter 2023 production increased 100 MBOED or 6% from the same period a year ago. Organic growth from Lower 48 and other development programs more than offset decline and downtime.
Lower 48 delivered record production of 1,063 MBOED, including 709 MBOED from the Permian, 235 MBOED from the Eagle Ford and 104 MBOED from the Bakken. Turnarounds were successfully completed in Norway and Qatar.
Earnings and adjusted earnings decreased from the second quarter of 2022 primarily due to lower prices partially offset by increased volumes. The company’s total average realized price was $54.50 per BOE, 38% lower than the $88.57 per BOE realized in the second quarter of 2022.
For the quarter, cash provided by operating activities was $3.9 billion. Excluding a $0.8 billion change in working capital, ConocoPhillips generated CFO of $4.7 billion and received $0.2 billion primarily related to a prior year disposition. The company funded $2.9 billion of capital expenditures and investments. In addition, the company paid $1.4 billion in ordinary dividends and VROC and repurchased $1.3 billion of shares.
Six-Month Review
ConocoPhillips’ six-month 2023 earnings and adjusted earnings were $5.2 billion, or $4.22 per share, compared with six-month 2022 earnings of $10.9 billion, or $8.36 per share, and six-month 2022 adjusted earnings of $9.4 billion, or $7.18 per share.
Production for the first six months of 2023 was 1,798 MBOED, an increase of 78 MBOED from the same period a year ago. After adjusting for impacts from closed acquisitions and dispositions, production increased 82 MBOED or 5% from the same period a year ago. Organic growth from Lower 48 and other development programs more than offset decline and downtime.
The company’s total realized price during this period was $57.63 per BOE, 30% lower than the $82.70 per BOE realized in the first six months of 2022.
In the first six months of 2023, cash provided by operating activities was $9.3 billion. Excluding a $1.1 billion change in working capital, ConocoPhillips generated CFO of $10.4 billion and received disposition proceeds of $0.4 billion. The company funded $5.8 billion of capital expenditures and investments, repurchased $3.0 billion of shares and paid $2.8 billion in ordinary dividends and VROC.
Outlook
Third-quarter 2023 production is expected to be 1.78 to 1.82 million barrels of oil equivalent per day (MMBOED). Full-year production is now expected to be 1.80 to 1.81 MMBOED, as compared to prior guidance of 1.78 to 1.80 MMBOED.
Consistent with raising full-year production guidance for two consecutive quarters, the company updated its 2023 adjusted operating cost guidance to $8.3 billion versus the prior guidance of $8.2 billion and updated full-year guidance for depreciation, depletion and amortization to $8.2 billion versus the prior guidance of $8.1 billion. Full-year guidance for adjusted corporate segment net loss has been lowered to $0.8 billion from $0.9 billion driven by lower net interest expense. On capital, the guidance range has been narrowed to $10.8 to $11.2 billion from $10.7 to $11.3 billion, reflecting ongoing progress on the company’s development plans.
All guidance excludes any impact from the previously announced Surmont and APLNG transactions.
