Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract] | |
Note 2 - Changes in Accounting Principles | Note 2Changes in Accounting Principles LUKOIL Accounting Effective January1, 2010, we changed the method used to determine our equity-method share of LUKOILs earnings. Prior to 2010, we estimated our LUKOIL equity earnings for the current quarter based on current market indicators, publicly available LUKOIL information and other objective data. This earnings estimation process was necessary because, historically, LUKOILs accounting cycle close and preparation of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) financial statements occurred subsequent to our reporting deadline, and for certain periods this timing gap exceeded 93days. Although Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)Accounting Standards Codification (ASC)Topic 323, InvestmentsEquity Method and Joint Ventures, provides that when financial statements of an investee are not sufficiently timely, then the investor should record its share of earnings or loss based on the most recently available financial statements, SEC guidance indicates this timing gap should not exceed 93days. Recently, the timing gap has been reduced to less than 93days for all reporting periods. Accordingly, we believe it is now preferable to implement a change in accounting principle to record our equity-method share of LUKOILs earnings on a one-quarter lag basis, rather than using an earnings estimate for the current quarter. We believe the new method is preferable as it improves reporting reliability, while maintaining an acceptable level of relevance. This change in accounting principle to a one-quarter lag under ASC Topic 323 has been applied retrospectively, by recasting prior period financial information. The following table summarizes the line items affected on the consolidated income statement: Millions of Dollars Three Months Ended March 31 2010 2009 Computed As Effect As Effect with Reported of Originally As of Estimate with Lag Change Reported Adjusted Change Equity in earnings of affiliates $ 751 868 117 415 373 (42 ) Provision for income taxes 1,877 1,878 1 1,178 1,176 (2 ) Net Income 1,996 2,112 116 856 816 (40 ) Net Income Attributable to ConocoPhillips 1,982 2,098 116 840 800 (40 ) Net Income Attributable to ConocoPhillips Per Share of Common Stock (dollars) Basic $ 1.33 1.41 0.08 0.57 0.54 (0.03 ) Diluted 1.32 1.40 0.08 0.56 0.54 (0.02 ) The following table summarizes the line items affected on the consolidated balance sheet: Millions of Dollars March 31, 2010 December 31, 2009 Computed As Effect As Effect with Reported of Originally As of Estimate with Lag Change Reported Adjusted |

Variable Interest Entities (VIEs) [Abstract] | |
Note 3 - Variable Interest Entities (VIEs) | Note 3Variable Interest Entities (VIEs) We hold significant variable interests in VIEs that have not been consolidated because we are not considered the primary beneficiary. Information on these VIEs follows: We have a 30percent ownership interest with a 50percent governance interest in the OOO Naryanmarneftegaz (NMNG)joint venture to develop resources in the Timan-Pechora province of Russia. The NMNG joint venture is a VIE because we and a related party, OAO LUKOIL, have disproportionate interests. When related parties are involved in a VIE and neither party has the power to direct the activities of the VIE without the consent of the other party, reasonable judgment should take into account the relevant facts and circumstances for the determination of the primary beneficiary. The activities of NMNG are more closely aligned with LUKOIL because they share Russia as a home country, and LUKOIL conducts extensive exploration and production activities in the same province. Additionally, there are no financial guarantees given by LUKOIL or us, and LUKOIL owns 70percent, versus our 30percent direct interest. As a result, we have determined we are not the primary beneficiary of NMNG, and we use the equity method of accounting for this investment. The funding of NMNG has been provided with equity contributions, primarily for the development of the Yuzhno Khylchuyu (YK)Field. At March31, 2010, the book value of our investment in the venture was $1,587million. Production from the NMNG joint venture fields is transported via pipeline to LUKOILs terminal at Varandey Bay on the Barents Sea and then shipped via tanker to international markets. LUKOIL completed an expansion of the terminals gross oil-throughput capacity from 30,000 barrels per day to 240,000 barrels per day, and we participated in the design and financing of the expansion. The terminal entity, Varandey Terminal Company, is a VIE because we and LUKOIL have disproportionate interests. We had an obligation to fund, through loans, 30percent of the terminals expansion costs, but have no governance or direct ownership interest in the terminal. We determined we are not the primary beneficiary for Varandey because LUKOIL has the power to direct the activities that most influence Varandeys economic performance. We account for our loan to Varandey as a financial asset. Principal repayments began in April2009. The loan balance outstanding as of March31, 2010, at current exchange rates, was $275million. We have an agreement with Freeport LNG Development, L.P. (Freeport LNG) to participate in a liquefied natural gas (LNG)receiving terminal in Quintana, Texas. We have no ownership in Freeport LNG; however, we own a 50percent interest in Freeport LNG GP, Inc. (Freeport GP), which serves as the general partner managing the venture. We entered into a credit agreement with Freeport LNG, whereby we agreed to provide loan financing for the construction of the terminal. We also entered into a long-term agreement with Freeport LNG to use 0.9billion cubic feet per day of regasification capacity. The terminal became operational in June2008, and we began making payments under the terminal use agreem |

Note 5 - Assets Held for Sale | Note 5Assets Held for Sale At March31, 2010, we classified $333million of noncurrent assets, primarily investments in equity affiliates, as held for sale and most of this amount is included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets. We also classified $75million of noncurrent deferred tax liabilities as current, based on their held for sale status. In April2010, we entered into definitive agreements with subsidiaries of Sinopec International Petroleum Exploration and Production Company to sell our 9.03percent interest in the Syncrude Canada Ltd. joint venture (Syncrude) for approximately $4.65billion. The transaction is anticipated to close in the third quarter of 2010, subject to Canadian and Chinese government approvals. Syncrude met the held-for-sale criteria during the second quarter, and we expect it to be reflected as held for sale in our June30, 2010, balance sheet. The carrying value of our Syncrude net assets at March31, 2010, was $1,793million. In addition, there is an associated net deferred tax liability of $414million. |

Note 6 - Investments, Loans and Long-Term Receivables | Note 6Investments, Loans and Long-Term Receivables LUKOIL Our ownership interest in LUKOIL was 20percent at March31, 2010, based on 851million shares authorized and issued. For financial reporting under U.S. GAAP, treasury shares held by LUKOIL are not considered outstanding for determining our equity method ownership interest in LUKOIL. Our ownership interest, based on estimated shares outstanding, was 20.09percent at March31, 2010. At March31, 2010, the book value of our ordinary share investment in LUKOIL was $6,809million. Our 20percent share of the net assets of LUKOIL was estimated to be $11,262million. A majority of this negative basis difference of $4,453million is being amortized on a straight-line basis over a 22-year useful life as an increase to equity earnings. On March31, 2010, the closing price of LUKOIL shares on the London Stock Exchange was $56.70 per share, making the total market value of our LUKOIL investment $9,645million. For additional information about accounting for our LUKOIL investment, see Note 2Changes in Accounting Principles. Loans to Related Parties As part of our normal ongoing business operations and consistent with industry practice, we invest and enter into numerous agreements with other parties to pursue business opportunities, which share costs and apportion risks among the parties as governed by the agreements. Included in such activity are loans made to certain affiliated companies. Significant loans to affiliated companies at March31, 2010, included the following: $691million in loan financing to Freeport LNG Development, L.P. $275million in loan financing at March2010 exchange rates to Varandey Terminal Company. $1,051million in project financing and an additional $91million of accrued interest to Qatargas 3. $550million in loan financing to WRB Refining LLC. The long-term portion of these loans are included in the Loans and advancesrelated parties line on the consolidated balance sheet, while the short-term portion is in Accounts and notes receivablerelated parties. Other Investments We have investments remeasured at fair value on a recurring basis to support certain nonqualified deferred compensation plans. The fair value of these assets at March31, 2010, was $329million, and substantially the entire value is categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. These investments are measured at fair value using a market approach based on quotations from national securities exchanges. Merey Sweeny, L.P. (MSLP)is a limited partnership that owns a 70,000 barrel-per-day delayed coker and related facilities at the Sweeny Refinery used to produce fuel-grade petroleum coke. Prior to August28, 2009, MSLP was owned 50/50 by us and Petrleos de Venezuela S.A. (PDVSA). Under the agreements that govern the relationships between the partners, certain defaults by PDVSA with respect to supply of crude oil to the Sweeny Refinery gave us the right to acquire PDVSAs 50 percent ownership interest in MSLP. On August28, 2009, we exercised that right. PDVSA recently initiated arbitration in the International Chamber of Commerce challenging our actions. We continue t |

Commercial paper maturities are generally limited to 90days. At both March31, 2010 and December31, 2009, we had no direct outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facilities, but $40million in letters of credit had been issued. In addition, under the two commercial paper programs, there was $1,662million of commercial paper outstanding at March31, 2010, compared with $1,300million at December31, 2009. Since we had $1,662million of commercial paper outstanding and had issued $40million of letters of credit, we had access to $6.1billion in borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facilities at March31, 2010. At March31, 2010, we classified $1,113million of short-term debt as long-term debt, based on our ability and intent to refinance the obligation on a long-term basis under our revolving credit facilities. |

Guarantees [Abstract] | |
Note 12 - Guarantees | Note 12Guarantees At March31, 2010, we were liable for certain contingent obligations under various contractual arrangements as described below. We recognize a liability, at inception, for the fair value of our obligation as a guarantor for newly issued or modified guarantees. Unless the carrying amount of the liability is noted below, we have not recognized a liability either because the guarantees were issued prior to December31, 2002, or because the fair value of the obligation is immaterial. In addition, unless otherwise stated, we are not currently performing with any significance under the guarantee and expect future performance to be either immaterial or have only a remote chance of occurrence. Construction Completion Guarantees In December2005, we issued a construction completion guarantee for 30percent of the $4billion in loan facilities of Qatargas 3, which are being used to finance the construction of an LNG train in Qatar. Of the $4billion in loan facilities, we committed to provide $1.2billion. The maximum potential amount of future payments to third-party lenders under the guarantee is estimated to be $850million, which could become payable if the full debt financing is utilized and completion of the Qatargas 3 Project is not achieved. The project financing will be nonrecourse to ConocoPhillips upon certified completion, which is expected in 2011. At March31, 2010, the carrying value of the guarantee to third-party lenders was $11million. Guarantees of Joint Venture Debt In June2006, we issued a guarantee for our ownership percentage of $2billion in credit facilities of Rockies Express Pipeline LLC, operated by Kinder Morgan Energy Partners, L.P. At March31, 2010, the total carrying value of this guarantee was $11million, and Rockies Express had no amount outstanding under the credit facilities. In April2010, the credit facilities were reduced to $200million and our guarantee was released. At March31, 2010, we had guarantees outstanding for our portion of joint venture debt obligations, which have terms of up to 16years. The maximum potential amount of future payments under the guarantees is approximately $80million. Payment would be required if a joint venture defaults on its debt obligations. Other Guarantees In conjunction with our purchase of a 50percent ownership interest in Australia Pacific LNG (APLNG)from Origin Energy in October2008, we agreed to participate, if and when requested, in any parent company guarantees that were outstanding at the time we purchased our interest in APLNG. These parent company guarantees cover the obligation of APLNG to deliver natural gas under several sales agreements with remaining terms of 7 to 22years. Our maximum potential amount of future payments, or cost of volume delivery, under these guarantees is estimated to be $1,475million ($3,185million in the event of intentional or reckless breach) at March2010 exchange rates based on our 50percent share of the remaining contracted volumes, which could become payable if APLNG fails to meet its obligations under these agreements and the obligations cannot otherwise be mitigated.

Contingencies and Commitments [Abstract] | |
Note 13 - Contingencies and Commitments | Note 13Contingencies and Commitments In the case of all known contingencies (other than those related to income taxes), we accrue a liability when the loss is probable and the amount is reasonably estimable. If a range of amounts can be reasonably estimated and no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, then the minimum of the range is accrued. We do not reduce these liabilities for potential insurance or third-party recoveries. If applicable, we accrue receivables for probable insurance or other third-party recoveries. In the case of income-tax-related contingencies, we use a cumulative probability-weighted loss accrual in cases where sustaining a tax position is less than certain. Based on currently available information, we believe it is remote that future costs related to known contingent liability exposures will exceed current accruals by an amount that would have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial statements. As we learn new facts concerning contingencies, we reassess our position both with respect to accrued liabilities and other potential exposures. Estimates particularly sensitive to future changes include contingent liabilities recorded for environmental remediation, tax and legal matters. Estimated future environmental remediation costs are subject to change due to such factors as the uncertain magnitude of cleanup costs, the unknown time and extent of such remedial actions that may be required, and the determination of our liability in proportion to that of other responsible parties. Estimated future costs related to tax and legal matters are subject to change as events evolve and as additional information becomes available during the administrative and litigation processes. Environmental We are subject to federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. These may result in obligations to remove or mitigate the effects on the environment of the placement, storage, disposal or release of certain chemical, mineral and petroleum substances at various sites. When we prepare our consolidated financial statements, we record accruals for environmental liabilities based on managements best estimates, using all information that is available at the time. We measure estimates and base liabilities on currently available facts, existing technology, and presently enacted laws and regulations, taking into account stakeholder and business considerations. When measuring environmental liabilities, we also consider our prior experience in remediation of contaminated sites, other companies cleanup experience, and data released by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)or other organizations. We consider unasserted claims in our determination of environmental liabilities, and we accrue them in the period they are both probable and reasonably estimable. Although liability of those potentially responsible for environmental remediation costs is generally joint and several for federal sites and frequently so for state sites, we are usually only one of many companies cited at a particular site. Due to the joint and several liabilities, we could be responsible for all clean |

Financial Instruments and Derivative Contracts [Abstract] | |
Note 14 - Financial Instruments and Derivative Contracts | Note 14Financial Instruments and Derivative Contracts Derivative Instruments We use financial and commodity-based derivative contracts to manage exposures to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, and interest rates, or to capture market opportunities. Since we are not currently using hedge accounting, all gains and losses, realized or unrealized, from derivative contracts have been recognized in the consolidated income statement. Gains and losses from derivative contracts held for trading not directly related to our physical business, whether realized or unrealized, have been reported net in other income. Purchase and sales contracts for commodities that are readily convertible to cash (e.g., crude oil, natural gas and gasoline) are recorded on the balance sheet as derivatives unless the contracts are for quantities we expect to use or sell over a reasonable period in the normal course of business (i.e., contracts eligible for the normal purchases and normal sales exception). We record most of our contracts to buy or sell natural gas and the majority of our contracts to sell power as derivatives, but we do apply the normal purchases and normal sales exception to certain long-term contracts to sell our natural gas production. We generally apply this normal purchases and normal sales exception to eligible crude oil and refined product commodity purchase and sales contracts; however, we may elect not to apply this exception (e.g., when another derivative instrument will be used to mitigate the risk of the purchase or sale contract but hedge accounting will not be applied, in which case both the purchase or sales contract and the derivative contract mitigating the resulting risk will be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value). We value our exchange-cleared derivatives using closing prices provided by the exchange as of the balance sheet date, and these are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Over-the-counter (OTC)financial swaps and physical commodity forward purchase and sale contracts are generally valued using quotations provided by brokers and price index developers such as Platts and Oil Price Information Service. These quotes are corroborated with market data and are classified as Level 2. In certain less liquid markets or for longer-term contracts, forward prices are not as readily available. In these circumstances, OTC swaps and physical commodity purchase and sale contracts are valued using internally developed methodologies that consider historical relationships among various commodities that result in managements best estimate of fair value. These contracts are classified as Level 3. A contract that is initially classified as Level 3 due to absence or insufficient corroboration of broker quotes over a material portion of the contract will transfer to Level 2 when the portion of the trade having no quotes or insufficient corroboration becomes an insignificant portion of the contract. A contract would also transfer to Level 2 if we began using a corroborated broker quote that has become available. Conversely, if a corroborated broker quote ceases to be available or us |

Note 20 - Income Taxes | Note 20Income Taxes Our effective tax rates for the first quarters of 2010 and 2009 were 47percent and 59percent, respectively. The change in the effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2010, versus the same period of 2009, was primarily due to a higher proportion of income in higher tax rate jurisdictions in 2009. The effective tax rate in excess of the domestic federal statutory rate of 35percent was primarily due to foreign taxes. |

This condensed consolidating financial information should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes. To facilitate the restructuring of certain legal entities within the Canada operating unit, ConocoPhillips Canada Funding Company I (CFC I) entered into a transaction with another wholly owned subsidiary of ConocoPhillips (included in the All Other Subsidiaries column) whereby it acquired an investment in certain preferred shares of a Canadian legal entity within the ConocoPhillips group, in exchange for a non-interest-bearing demand note payable. The value ascribed to the preferred shares and note payable represented the redemption price for both. This noncash transaction was effective December31, 2009. As a result, the balance sheet of CFC I reflects a short-term investment of $2,973million and a corresponding amount in short-term debt. In January2010, the preferred shares acquired under the above transaction were resold to the original holder at the same value as the original purchase price, as satisfaction of the obligation under the demand note payable.
