Variable Interest Entities VIEs [Abstract]
Variable Interest Entities (VIEs)	Note 2 —Variable Interest Entities ( VIEs ) We hold variable interests in VIEs that have not been consolidated because we are not considered the primary beneficiary. Information on our significant VIE follows: Australia Pacific LNG Pty Ltd (APLNG) APLNG is considered a VIE, as it has entered into certain contractual arrangements that provide it with additional forms of subordinated financial support. We are not the primary beneficiary of APLNG because we share with Origin Energy and China Petrochem ical Corporation (Sinopec) the power to direct the key activities of APLNG that most significantly impact its economic performance, which involve activities related to the production and commercialization of coalbed methane, as well as liquefied natural gas ( LNG) processing and e xport marketing. As a result, we do not cons olidate APLNG, and it is accounted for as an equity method investment. As of September 30, 2015 , we have not provided any financial support to APLNG other than amounts previously contractually required. Unless we elect otherwise, we have no requirement to provide liquidity or purchase the assets of APLNG. See Note 5 —Investments, Loans and Long-Term Receivables, and Note 10 —Guarantees, for additional information.

Debt [Abstract]
Debt	Note 8 —Debt We have two commercial paper programs supported by our $ 7.0 billion revolving credit facility: the ConocoPhillips $ 6.1 billion program, primarily a funding source for short-term working capital needs, and the ConocoPhillips Qatar Funding Ltd. $ 900 million program, which is used to fund commitments relating to QG3. Commercial paper maturities are generally limited to 90 days.

Under the ConocoPhillips Qatar Funding Ltd. commercial paper program, $ 803 million of commercial paper was outstanding at September 30, 2015 , compared with $ 860 million at December 31, 2014 . Since we had $ 803 million of commercial paper outstanding and had issued n o letters of credit, we had access to $ 6.2 billion in borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility at September 30, 2015 . At September 30, 2015 , we classified $ 695 million 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 facility.

Guarantees

Guarantees [Abstract]
Guarantees	Note 10 —Guarantees At September 30, 2015 , 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 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. APLNG Guarantees At September 30, 2015 , we had out standing multiple guarantees in connection with our 37.5 percent ownership interest in APLNG. The following is a description of the guarantees with values calculated utilizing September 2015 exchange rates: We have guaranteed APLNG’s p erformance with regard to a construction contract executed in connection with APLNG’s issuance of the Train 1 and Train 2 Notices to Proceed. We estimate the remaining term of this guarantee is two years . Our maximum potential amount of future pay ments related to this guarantee is approximately $ 90 million and would become payable if APLNG cancels the applicable construction contract and does not perform with respect to the amounts owed to the contractor. We have issu ed a construction completion guarantee related to the third-party project financing secured by APLNG. Our maximum potential amount of future payments under the guarantee is estimated to be $ 3.2 billion, which could be payable if the full debt financing capacity is utilized and completion of the project is not achieved. Our guarantee of the project financing will be released upon meeting certain completion tests with milestones, which we estimate should occur beginning in 2016. Our maximum exposure at September 30, 2015 , is $ 3.1 billion based upon our pro-rata share of the facility used at that date. At September 30, 2015 , the carrying value of this guarantee is approximately $ 114 million. In conjunct ion with our original purchase of an ownership interest in APLNG from Origin Energy in October 2008, we agreed to guarantee an existing obligation of APLNG to deliver natural gas under several sales agreements with remaining terms of 1 to 27 years . Our maximum potential amount of future payments, or cost of volume delivery, under these guarantees is estimated to be $ 1.1 billion ($ 1.9 billion in the event of intentional or reckless breach), and would become payable if APLNG fails to meet its obligations under these agreements and the obligations cannot otherwise be mitigated. Future payments are considered unlikely, as the payments, or cost of volume delivery, would only be triggered if APLNG does not have enough natural gas to meet these sales commitments and if the co- venturers do not make necessary equity contributions into APLNG. We have guaranteed the performance of APLNG with regard to certain other contracts executed in connection with the pr oject’s continued development. The guarantees have remaining terms of up to 30 years or the life of the venture . Our maximum potential amount of future payments related to these guarantees is approximately $ 160 million and would become payable if APLNG do es not perform. Other Guarantees We have other guarantees with maximum future potential payment amounts totaling approximately $ 370 million, which consist primarily of guarantees of the residual value of leased corporate aircraft, a guarantee for our portion of a joint venture’s project finance reserve accounts , a guarantee to fund the short-term cash liquidity deficit of a joint venture, and a guarantee of minimum charter revenue for an LNG vessel. These guarantees have remaining terms of up to nine years or the life of the venture and would become payable if, upon sale, certain asset values are lower than guaranteed amounts, business conditions decline at guaranteed entities, or as a result of non-performance of contractual terms by guaranteed parties. Indemnifications Over the years, we have entered into agreements to sell ownership interests in certain corporations, joint ventures and assets that gave rise to qualifying indemnifications. In addition we have entered into agreements involving leased facilities that provided for certain indemnifications. These agreements include indemnifications for taxes, environmental liabilities, employee claims, property damage, costs, fees and litigation. The terms of these indemnifications vary greatly. The majority of these indemnif ications are related to environmental issues, the term is generally indefinite and the maximum amount of future payments is generally unlimited. The carrying amount recorded for these indemnifications at September 30, 2015 , was approximately $ 90 million. We amortize the indemnification liability over the relevant time period, if one exists, based on the facts and circumstances surrounding each type of indemnity. In cases where the indemnification term is indefinite, we will reverse the liabil ity when we have information the liability is essentially relieved or amortize the liability over an appropriate time period as the fair value of our indemnification exposure declines. Although it is reasonably possible future payments may exceed amounts recorded, due to the nature of the indemnifications, it is not possible to make a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential amount of future payments. Included in the recorded carrying amount at September 30, 2015 , were approximately $ 40 milli on of environmental accruals for known contamination that are included in the “Asset retirement obligations and accrued environmental costs” line on our consolidated balance sheet. For additional information about environmental liabilities, see Note 11 —Contingencies and Commitments. On April 30, 2012, the separation of our Downstream businesses was completed, creating two independent energy companies: ConocoPhillips and Phillips 66. In connection with the separation, we entered into an Indemnifica tion and Release Agreement, which provides for cross-indemnities between Phillips 66 and us and established procedures for handling claims subject to indemnification and related matters. We evaluated the impact of the indemnifications given and the Philli ps 66 indemnifications received as of the separation date and concluded those fair values were immaterial. On March 1, 2015, a supplier to one of the refineries that was included in Phillips 66 as part of the separation of our Downstream businesses form ally registered Phillips 66 as a party to the supply agreement, thereby triggering a guarantee we provided at the time of separation. Our maximum potential liability for future payments under this guarantee, which would become payable if Phillips 66 does not perform its contractual obligations under the supply agreement, is approximately $ 1.6 billion. At September 30, 2015 , the carrying value of this guarantee is approximately $ 100 million and the remaining term is nine years . Because Phillips 66 has indemnified us for losses incurred under this guarantee, we have recorded an indemnification asset from Phillips 66 of approximately $ 100 million. The recorded indemnification asset amount represents the estimated fair value of the guarantee; however, if we are required to perform under the guarantee, we would expect to recover from Phillips 66 any amounts in excess of that value, provided Phillips 66 is a going concern.

Contingencies and Commitments [Abstract]
Contingencies and Commitments	Note 11 —Contingencies and Commitments A number of lawsuits involving a variety of claims arising in the ordinary course of business have been made against ConocoPhillips. We also may be required 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 active and inactive sites. We regularly assess the need for accounting recognition or disclosure of these contingencies. In the ca se 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. With respect to 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 rela ted 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 re spect 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. Es timated 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 international, federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. When we prepare our consolidated financial statements, we record accruals for environmental liabilities based on management’s 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. Whe n 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 jo int and several for federal sites and frequently so for other 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 cleanup costs related to any site at which we have been designated as a potentially responsible party. We have been successful to date in sharing cleanup costs with other financially sound companies. Many of the sites at which we are potentially responsible are still under investigation by the E PA or the agency concerned. Prior to actual cleanup, those potentially responsible normally assess the site conditions, apportion responsibility and determine the appropriate remediation. In some instances, we may have no liability or may attain a settle ment of liability. Where it appears that other potentially responsible parties may be financially unable to bear their proportional share, we consider this inability in estimating our potential liability, and we adjust our accruals accordingly. As a resu lt of various acquisitions in the past, we assumed certain environmental obligations. Some of these environmental obligations are mitigated by indemnifications made by others for our benefit and some of the indemnifications are subject to dollar limits an d time limits. We are currently participating in environmental assessments and cleanups at numerous federal Superfund and comparable state and international sites. After an assessment of environmental exposures for cleanup and other costs, we make accrua ls on an undiscounted basis (except those acquired in a purchase business combination, which we record on a discounted basis) for planned investigation and remediation activities for sites where it is probable future costs will be incurred and these costs can be reasonably estimated. At September 30, 2015 , our balance sheet included a total environmental accrual of $ 286 million, compared with $ 344 million at December 31, 2014 , for remediation activities in the United States and Canada. We expect to incur a substantial amount of these expenditures within the next 30 years . We have not reduced these accruals for possible insurance recoveries. In the future, we may be involved in additional environmental assessmen ts, cleanups and proceedings. Legal Proceedings We are subject to various lawsuits and claims including but not limited to matters involving oil and gas royalty and severance tax payments, gas measurement and valuation methods, contract disputes, environmental damages, personal injury, and property damage. Our primary exposures for such matters relate to alleged royalty underpayments on certain federal, state and privately owned properties and claims of alleged environmental contamination from historic operations. We will conti nue to defend ourselves vigorously in these matters. Our legal organization applies its knowledge, experience and professional judgment to the specific characteristics of our cases, employing a litigation management process to manage and monitor the legal proceedings against us. Our process facilitates the early evaluation and quantification of potential exposures in individual cases. This process also enables us to track those cases that have been scheduled for trial and/or mediation. Based on professi onal judgment and experience in using these litigation management tools and available information about current developments in all our cases, our legal organization regularly assesses the adequacy of current accruals and determines if adjustment of existi ng accruals, or establishment of new accruals, is required. Other Contingencies We have contingent liabilities resulting from throughput agreements with pipeline and processing companies not associated with financing arrangements. Under these agreements, we may be required to provide any such company with additional funds through advances and penalties for fees related to throughput capacity not utilized. In addition, at September 30, 2015 , we had performance obligations secured by letters of credit of $ 388 million (issued as direct bank letters of credit ) related to various purchase commitments for materials, supplies, commercial activities and services incident to the ordinary conduct of business. In 2007, we announced we had been unable to reach agreement with respect to our migration to an empresa mi xta structure mandated by the Venezuelan government’s Nationalization Decree. As a result, Venezuela’s national oil company, Petróleos de Venezuela S.A. (PDVSA), or its affiliates, directly assumed control over ConocoPhillips’ interests in the Petrozuata and Hamaca heavy oil ventures and the offshore Corocoro development project. In response to this expropriation, we filed a request for international arbitration on November 2, 2007, with the World Bank’s International Centre for Settlement of Investment D isputes (ICSID). An arbitration hearing was held before an ICSID tribunal during the summer of 2010. On September 3, 2013, an ICSID arbitration tribunal held that Venezuela unlawfully expropriated ConocoPhillips’ significant oil investments in June 2007. A separate arbitration phase is currently proceeding to determine the damages owed to ConocoPhillips for Venezuela’s actions. On October 10, 2014, we filed a separate arbitration under the rules of the International Chamber of Commerce against PDVSA for contractual compensation related to the Petrozuata and Hamaca heavy crude oil projects. In 2008, Burlington Resources, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of ConocoPhillips, initiated arbitration before ICSID against The Republic of Ecuador, as a result of t he newly enacted Windfall Profits Tax Law and government-mandated renegotiation of our production sharing contracts. Despite a restraining order issued by the ICSID tribunal, Ecuador confiscated the crude oil production of Burlington and its co- venturer a nd sold the seized crude oil. In 2009, Ecuador took over operations in Blocks 7 and 21, fully expropriating our assets. In June 2010, the ICSID tribunal concluded it has jurisdiction to hear the expropriation claim. On April 24, 2012, Ecuador filed supp lemental counterclaims asserting environmental damages, which we believe are not material. The ICSID tribunal issued a decision on liability on December 14, 2012, in favor of Burlington, finding that Ecuador's seizure of Blocks 7 and 21 was an unlawful ex propriation in violation of the Ecuador-U.S. Bilateral Investment Treaty. An additional arbitration phase is now proceeding to determine the damages owed to ConocoPhillips for Ecuador’s actions and to address Ecuador’s counterclaims. ConocoPhillips serve d a Notice of Arbitration on the Timor-Leste Minister of Finance in October 2012 for outstanding disputes related to a series of tax assessments. As of September 30, 2015 , ConocoPhillips has paid, under protest, tax assessments totaling approximately $ 237 million , which are primarily recorded in the “Investments and long-term receivables” line on our consolidated balance sheet . The arbitration hearing was conducted in Singapore in June 2014 under the United Nations Commission on International Trade Laws (UNCITRAL) arbitration rules, pursuant to the terms of the Tax Stability Agreement with the Timor-Leste government. Post-hearing briefs from both parties were filed in August 2014. We are now awaiting the Tribunal’s decision. Future impacts on our business are not known a t this time.

Derivative and Financial Instruments [Abstract]
Derivative and Financial Instruments	Note 12 —Derivative and Financial Instruments Derivative Instruments We use futures, forwards, swaps and options in various markets to meet our customer needs and capture market opportunities. Our commodity business primarily consists of natural gas, crude oil, bitumen, LNG and natural gas liquids. Our derivative instru ments are held at fair value on our consolidated balance sheet. Where these balances have the right of setoff, they are presented on a net basis. Related cash flows are recorded as operating activities on the consolidated statement of cash flows. On our consolidated income statement, realized and unrealized gains and losses are recognized either on a gross basis if directly related to our physical business or a net basis if held for trading. Gains and losses related to contracts that meet and are design ated with the normal purchase normal sale exception are recognized upon settlement. We generally apply this exception to eligible crude contracts. We do not use hedge accounting for our commodity derivatives. The following table presents the gross fair values of our commodity derivatives, excluding collateral, and the line items where they appear on our consolidated balance sheet: Millions of Dollars September 30 December 31 2015 2014 Assets Prepaid expenses and other current assets $ 1,532 4,500 Other assets 78 157 Liabilities Other accruals 1,553 4,426 Other liabilities and deferred credits 68 144 The gains (losses) from commodity derivatives incurred, and the line items where they appear on our consolidated income statement were: Millions of Dollars Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30 September 30 2015 2014 2015 2014 Sales and other operating revenues $ 89 (185) 117 236 Other income - 1 1 3 Purchased commodities (85) 163 (88) (221) The table below summarizes our material net exposures resulting from outstanding commodity derivative contracts: Open Position Long/(Short) September 30 December 31 2015 2014 Commodity Natural gas and power (billions of cubic feet equivalent) Fixed price (17) (11) Basis (18) 18 Foreign Currency Exchange Derivatives We have foreign currency exchange rate risk resulting from international operations. Our foreign currency exchange derivative activity primarily relates to managing our cash-related and foreign currency exchange rate exposures, such as firm commitments for capital programs or local currency tax payments, dividends, and cash returns from net investments in foreign affiliates. We do not elect hedge accounting on our foreign currency exchan ge derivatives. The following table presents the gross fair values of our foreign currency exchange derivatives, excluding collateral, and the line items where they appear on our consolidated balance sheet: Millions of Dollars September 30 December 31 2015 2014 Assets Prepaid expenses and other current assets $ 40 1 Liabilities Other accruals 3 1 The (gains) losses from foreign currency exchange derivatives incurred, and the line item where they appear on our consolidated income statement were: Millions of Dollars Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30 September 30 2015 2014 2015 2014 Foreign currency transaction (gains) losses $ (17) 5 (30) (2) We had the following net notional position of outstanding foreign currency exchange derivatives: In Millions Notional Currency September 30 December 31 2015 2014 Sell U.S. dollar, buy other currencies* USD - 7 Buy U.S. dollar, sell other currencies** USD 18 44 Buy British pound, sell other currencies*** GBP 472 20 *Primarily Canadian dollar. **Primarily Canadian dollar and Norwegian krone. ***Primarily Canadian dollar and euro. Financial Instruments We have certain financial instruments on our consolidated balance sheet related to interest-bearing time deposits and commercial paper. These held-to- maturity financial instruments are included in “Cash and cash equivalents” on our consolidated balance sheet if the maturities at the time we made the investments were 90 days or less . Millions of Dollars Carrying Amount Cash and Cash Equivalents September 30 December 31 2015 2014 Cash $ 546 946 Money Market Funds - 50 Time deposits Remaining maturities from 1 to 90 days 1,867 3,726 Commercial paper Remaining maturities from 1 to 90 days - 340 $ 2,413 5,062 Credit Risk Financial instruments potentially exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash equivalents, over-the-counter (OTC) derivative contracts and trade receivables. Our cash equivalents are placed in high-quality commercial paper, money market funds, government debt securities and time deposits with major international banks and financial institutions. The credit risk from our OTC derivative contracts, such as forwards and swaps, derives from the c ounterparty to the transaction. Individual counterparty exposure is managed within predetermined credit limits and includes the use of cash-call margins when appropriate, thereby reducing the risk of significant nonperformance. We also use futures, swaps and option contracts that have a negligible credit risk because these trades are cleared with an exchange clearinghouse and subject to mandatory margin requirements until settled; however, we are exposed to the credit risk of those exchange brokers for re ceivables arising from daily margin cash calls, as well as for cash deposited to meet initial margin requirements. Our trade receivables result primarily from our petroleum operations and reflect a broad national and international customer base, which li mits our exposure to concentrations of credit risk. The majority of these receivables have payment terms of 30 days or less , and we continually monitor this exposure and the creditworthiness of the counterparties. We do not generally require collateral to limit the exposure to loss; however, we will sometimes use letters of credit, prepayments and master netting arrangements to mitigate credit risk with counterparties that both buy from and sell to us, as these agreements permit the amounts owed by us o r owed to others to be offset against amounts due us. Certain of our derivative instruments contain provisions that require us to post collateral if the derivative exposure exceeds a threshold amount. We have contracts with fixed threshold amounts and ot her contracts with variable threshold amounts that are contingent on our credit rating. The variable threshold amounts typically decline for lower credit ratings, while both the variable and fixed threshold amounts typically revert to zero if we fall belo w investment grade. Cash is the primary collateral in all contracts; however, many also permit us to post letters of credit as collateral, such as transactions administered through the New York Mercantile Exchange . The aggrega te fair value of all derivative instruments with such credit-risk-related contingent features that were in a liability position on September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , was $ 122 million and $ 150 million, respectively. For these instruments, no collateral was posted as of September 30, 2015 or December 31, 2014 . If our credit rating had been lowered one level from its “A” rating (per Standard and Poor’s) on September 30, 2015 , we would be required to post no additional collate ral to our counterparties. If we had been downgraded below investment grade, we would be required to post $ 122 million of additional collateral, either with cash or letters of credit.

Fair Value Measurement

Fair Value Measurement	9 Months Ended
	Sep. 30, 2015
Fair Value Measurement [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurement	Note 13 —Fair Value Measurement We carry a portion of our assets and liabilities at fair value that are measured at a reporting date using an exit price (i.e., the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability) and disclosed according to the quality of valuation inputs under the following hierarchy: Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in an active market for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are directly or indirectly obs ervable. Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value of assets or liabilities. The classification of an asset or liability is based on the lowest level of input significant to its fair value. Those that are initially classified as Level 3 are subsequently reported as Level 2 when the fair value derived from unobservable inputs is inconsequential to the overall fair value, or if corroborated market data becomes available. Assets and liabilities that are initially reported as Level 2 are subsequently reported as Level 3 if corroborated market data is no longer available. Transfers occur at the end of the reporting period. There were no material transfers in or out of Level 1 during 2015 or 2014 . Recurring Fair Value Measurement Financial assets and liabilities reported at fair value on a recurring basis primarily include commodity derivatives and certain investments to support nonqualified deferred compensation plans. The deferred compensation investments are measured at fair value using unadjusted prices available from national securities exchanges; therefore, these assets are categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Level 1 derivative assets and liabilities primarily represent exch ange-traded futures and options that are valued using unadjusted prices available from the underlying exchange. Level 2 derivative assets and liabilities primarily represent OTC swaps, options and forward purchase and sale contracts that are valued using adjusted exchange prices, prices provided by brokers or pricing service companies that are all corroborated by market data. Level 3 derivative assets and liabilities consist of OTC swaps, options and forward purchase and sale contracts that are long term in nature and where a significant portion of fair value is calculated from underlying market data that is not readily available. The derived value uses industry standard methodologies that may consider the historical relationships among various commoditie s, modeled market prices, time value, volatility factors and other relevant economic measures. The use of these inputs results in management’s best estimate of fair value. Level 3 activity was not material for all periods presented. The following table summarizes the fair value hierarchy for gross financial assets and liabilities (i.e., unadjusted where the right of setoff exists for commodity derivatives accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis): Millions of Dollars September 30, 2015 December 31, 2014 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets Deferred compensation investments $ 22 - - 22 297 - - 297 Commodity derivatives 1,344 198 68 1,610 4,221 361 75 4,657 Total assets $ 1,366 198 68 1,632 4,518 361 75 4,954 Liabilities Commodity derivatives $ 1,378 228 15 1,621 4,200 354 16 4,570 Total liabilities $ 1,378 228 15 1,621 4,200 354 16 4,570 The following table summarizes those commodity derivative balances subject to the right of setoff as presented on our consolidated balance sheet.

Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurement The following table summarizes the fair value hierarchy by major category for assets accounted for at fair value on a non-recurring basis: Millions of Dollars Fair Value Measurements Using Fair Value * Level 3 Inputs Before-Tax Loss September 30, 2015 Net PP&E (held for use) $ 42 42 86 Net PP&E (unproved property) 104 104 240 *Represents the fair value at the time of the impairment. Net PP&E held for use is comprised of various producing properties impaired to their individual fair values less costs to sell. The fair values were determined by internal discounted cash flow models using estimates of future production, prices from futures excha nges and pricing service companies, costs, and a discount rate believed to be consistent with those used by principal market participants. Net PP&E unproved property is comprised of unproved lea seholds impaired to our best estimate of sales value less costs to sell . Reported Fair Values of Financial Instruments We used the following methods and assumptions to estimate the fair value of financial instruments: Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amount reported on the balance sheet approximates fair value. Accounts and notes receivable (including long-term and related parties): The carrying amount reported on the balance sheet approximates fair value. The valuation technique and methods used to estimate the fair value of the current portion of fixed-rate re lated party loans is consistent with Loans and advances—related parties. Loans and advances—related parties: The carrying amount of floating-rate loans approximates fair value. The fair value of fixed-rate loan activity is measured using market observable data and is categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. See Note 5 —Investments, Loans and Long-Term Receivables, for additional information. Accounts payable (including related parties) and floating-rate debt: The carrying amount of accounts payable and floating-rate debt reported on the balance sheet approximates fair value. Fixed-rate debt: The estimated fair value of fixed-rate debt is measured using prices available from a pricing service that is corroborated by market data; therefore, these liabilities are categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The following table summarizes the net fair value of financial instruments (i.e., adjusted where the right of setoff exists for commodity derivatives): Millions of Dollars Carrying Amount Fair Value September 30 December 31 September 30 December 31 2015 2014 2015 2014 Financial assets Deferred compensation investments $ 22 297 22 297 Commodity derivatives 175 297 175 297 Total loans and advances—related parties 805 913 805 913 Financial liabilities Total debt, excluding capital leases 24,063 21,707 26,460 25,191 Commodity derivatives 154 214 154 214 Deferred compensation investments In May 2015, we liquidated certain deferred compensation investments for proceeds of $267 million, which is included in the “Other” line within “Cash Flows From Investing Activities” on our consolidated statement of cash flows .

In 2015, we expect to contribute approximately $ 100 million to our domestic qualified and nonqualified pension and postretirement benefit plans and $ 120 million to our international qualified and nonqualified pension and postretirement benefit plans. We recognized a proportionate share of prior actuarial losses from other comprehensive income as pension settlement expense of $ 79 million and $ 131 million for the three - and nine - month periods ended September 30, 2015 , respectively, related to the U.S. qualifie d pension plan and certain U.S. nonqualified supplemental retirement plans. As part of the ongoing restructuring program in the United States , we concluded that actions taken during the three - month period ended September 30, 2015 , would result in a significant red uction of future services of active employees in the U.S. qualified pension plan and a U.S. nonqualified supplemental retirement plan. As a result, we recognized an increase in the benefit obligation and a proportionate share of prior service cost from ot her comprehensive income as a curtailment loss of $ 35 million on the U.S. qualified pension plan during the three - month period ended September 30, 2015 . In conjunction with the significant reduction of active employees, the net pension benefit obligation of the U.S. qualified pension plan was remeasured. At the measurement date, the net pension liability increased by $ 181 million to $ 876 million, resulting in a corresponding decrease to other comp rehensive income. Additionally, the pension benefit obligation of a U.S. nonqualified supplemental retirement plan was remeasured. At the measurement date, the pension benefit obligation increased $ 53 million to $ 472 millio n, resulting in a corresponding decrease in other comprehensive income. During the three - month period ended September 30, 2015 , there was an amendment to the U.S. other postretirement benefit plan. The benefit obligation decreased by $ 163 million for changes in the plan made to retiree medical benefits . The $ 163 million decrease consists of $ 149 million related to the discontinuation of all company premium cost-sharing contributions to the post-65 retiree medi cal plan after December 31, 2025, and $ 14 million associated with new participants in the post-65 retiree medical plan after December 31, 2015, no longer being eligible for any company premium cost-sharing contributions. In conjunction with the recognition of the changes in the amendment, the benefit obligation was remeasured but did not result in additional significant change. During the nine - month period ended September 30, 2015 , in addition to the amendment to th e U.S. other postretirement benefit plan described above, there was an amendment made to retiree medical benefits that resulted in a decrease of the benefit obligation by $ 140 million. This decrease consists of $ 91 million related t o cost sharing changes for retirees and $ 49 million associated with excluding employees and retirees of Phillips 66 who were not enrolled in a ConocoPhillips retiree medical plan as of July 1, 2015. The measurements of the accumulated post retirement benefit obligation for the post-65 retiree medical plan assumed a health care cost trend rate of 2 percent in 2015 that increases to 5 percent in 2018. Due to an ongoing restructuring program in th e Europe segment, we recognized additional expense of $ 15 million and $ 75 million, respectively, during the three - and nine - month periods ended September 30, 2015 , associated with employee special termination benefits, of which approximately 62 percent is expected to be recovered from joint venture partners. Severance Accrual As a result of the current business environment’s impact on our operatin g and capital plans, a reduction in our overall employee workforce is ongoing during 2015 . Severance accruals of $ 202 million and $ 290 million were recorded during the three - and nine - month periods ended September 30, 2015 , respectively. The following table summarizes our severance accrual activity for the nine - month period ended September 30, 2015 Millions of Dollars Balance at December 31, 2014 $ 61 Accruals 290 Accrual reversals (2) Benefit payments (99) Foreign currency translation adjustments (6) Balance at September 30, 2015 $ 244 Of the remaining balance at September 30, 2015 , $ 201 million is classified as short-term.

Segment Disclosures and Related Information [Abstract]
Segment Disclosures and Related Information	Note 18 —Segment Disclosures and Related Information We explore for, produce, transport and market crude oil, bitumen, natural gas, LNG and natural gas liquids on a worldwide basis. We manage our operations through six operating segments, which are primarily defined by geographic region: Alaska, Lower 48, Canada, Europe, Asia Pacific and Middle East, and Other International. After agreeing to sell our Nigeria business in 2012, we completed the sale in the third quart er of 2014. Results for these operations have been reported as discontinued operations in all periods presented. Corporate and Other represents costs not directly associated with an operating segment, such as most interest expense, corporate overhead a nd certain technology activities, including licensing revenues. Corporate assets include all cash and cash equivalents. We evaluate performance and allocate resources based on net income attributable to ConocoPhillips. Intersegment sales are at prices that approximate market. Effective November 1, 2015, the Other International and Europe segments will be restructured to align with changes to our internal organization structure. The Libya business will be moved from the Other International segment to the Europe segment, which will be renamed Europe and North Africa. Accordingly, results of operations for the Other International and Europe segments will be revised for current and prior periods beginning in the fourth quarter of 2015. There is no expec ted impact on our consolidated financial statements, and the impact on our segment presentation is expected to be immaterial.

Income Taxes [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Note 19 —Income Taxes Our effective tax rates from continuing operations for the third quarter and first nine months of 2015 were 39 percent and 57 percent, respectively, compared with 35 percent and 40 percent for the same periods of 2014 . The increase in the effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2015 was primarily due to the absence of the effects of our election of the fair market value m ethod of apportioning interest expense in the third quarter of 2014 . The increase in the effective tax ra te for the first nine months of 2015 was primarily due to our overall pre-tax loss position; the effect of the first quarter 2015 U.K. tax law change generating a tax benefit, discussed below; the absence of our election of the fair market value method of apportioning interest expense in the third quarter of 2014 ; and pre-tax losses in low tax jurisdictions. Th ese items were partially offset by the second quarter 2015 Canadian tax law change, discussed below, and pre-tax income in high tax jurisdictions. In the United Kingdom, legislation was enacted on March 26, 2015 , to decrease the overall U.K. upstr eam corporation tax rate from 62 percent to 50 percent effective January 1, 2015 . As a result, a $ 555 million net tax benefit for revaluing the U.K. deferred tax liability is reflected in the “Provision (benefit) for income taxes” line on our consolidated income statement. In Canada, legislation was enacted on June 29, 2015 , to increase the overall Can adian corporation tax rate from 25 percent to 27 percent effective July 1, 2015 . As a result, a $ 129 million net tax expense for revaluing the Canadian deferred tax liability is reflected in the “Provision (benefit ) for income taxes” line on our consolidated income statement.

New Accounting Standards [Abstract]
Description of New Accounting Pronouncements Not yet Adopted [Text Block]	Note 20 — New Accounting Standards In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers ” (ASU No. 2014-09), which outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. This ASU supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition,” and most industry-specific guidance. This ASU sets f orth a five-step model for determining when and how revenue is recognized. Under the model, an entity will be required to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount reflecting the consideration it expects to r eceive in exchange for those goods or services. Additional disclosures will be required to describe the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, “Deferral of the Effective Date,” w hich defers the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09 . The ASU is now effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 . Early adoption is permitted for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 . Entities may choose to adopt the standard using either a full retrospective approach or a modified retrospective appr oach. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this ASU. In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, “Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis,” which amends existing requirements applicable to reporting entities that are required to evaluate whether certain legal entities should be consolidated. The ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. Entities may choose to adopt the standard using either a full retrosp ective approach or a modified retrospective approach. We do not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
