The Connection

Throughout this year, the Power in Cooperation community has continued to grow, engage, and impact critical issues that face our industry. As the holidays are approaching, we wanted to provide a look back at all the great things you have helped make possible. From everyone at ConocoPhillips, thank you for your support and time.

We are literally surrounded by the benefits of natural gas and oil every day of the holiday season. From the heating oil that keeps us warm to the petroleum-based components used to manufacture the devices that allow us to order gifts online, we are continuously impacted by these resources.

You probably know that eating healthy and regular exercise are the cornerstones of a healthy lifestyle. You’re probably familiar with the benefits of natural gas use too. 

There has been a lot of discussion in the U.S. recently about the benefits of natural gas. We’ve got a pretty comprehensive list and have posted several blog entries that extoll the value of this natural resource. So it’s really not surprising to read that natural gas plays an important role in American manufacturing.

With less than two weeks until Election Day, candidates and their surrogates are traveling across districts, states, and the country, working to persuade voters. NBC’s latest Electoral College map projects that Clinton is on pace to secure 287 Electoral College votes, 17 more than required to become the 45th President of the United States Senate Democrats need only five net gains to become the majority party, while House Democrats need a 30 seat pickup to lead their chamber.

A lot of companies invest in America, creating jobs, paying taxes, and adding value to communities across the nation. We are proud that our investment resulted in being named one of the Top 25 “Investment Heroes” by The Progressive Policy Institute.

You know that oil is used for transportation and heating homes and businesses. But did you know it is used to create rubber balls, toothbrushes or t-shirts? And yes, it’s also used to manufacture many of the components of the phone, tablet, or computer you’re using right now. Not to mention birthday candles and crayons. It’s actually pretty amazing how many varied products can be created from just one barrel of oil.

Did you know natural gas is a game-changer as a clean, safe form of energy in America? 

Do you have an idea to convert carbon dioxide (CO2) into valuable products? If so, we want to hear from you.

We have operations across the globe, from Alaska’s icy North Slope to tropical Timor Leste, northwest of Australia. But there is one common thread that runs through all of our operations - sustainability.
