COP

ConocoPhillips (NYSE:COP) is one of the world's largest independent oil and gas exploration and production companies, founded in 1917 and headquartered in Houston, Texas. The company was formed through the merger of Conoco Inc. and Phillips Petroleum Company in 2002, creating a major integrated energy company that later spun off its refining and marketing operations in 2012 to focus exclusively on upstream oil and gas activities. Today, ConocoPhillips operates as a pure-play exploration and production company with a diversified global portfolio spanning North America's unconventional shale plays, conventional oil and gas fields worldwide, and liquefied natural gas (LNG) developments.
