ConocoPhillips Resumes Pre-Storm Production Rates in Eagle Ford; Third-Quarter and Full-Year Production Guidance Remains Unchanged
HOUSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–ConocoPhillips (NYSE: COP) today announced that production from its
Eagle Ford (Texas) field has returned to pre-Hurricane Harvey rates of
around 130 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day (MBOED).
The company’s previously communicated production guidance for the third
quarter and the full year is unchanged. Third-quarter 2017 production is
expected to be 1,170 to 1,210 MBOED, which excludes Libya and reflects
expected impacts from the San Juan, Barnett and Panhandle dispositions.

1,340 to 1,370 MBOED.
