Mulva Chief Executive Officer ConocoPhillips 600 North Dairy Ashford Houston, TX 77079 RE: ConocoPhillips Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 File No. 1-32395 Dear Mr. Mulva: We have limited our review of your Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, to disclosures relating to your contacts with countries that have been identified as state sponsors of terrorism. Our review with respect to this issue does not preclude further review by the Assistant Director group with respect to other issues. At this juncture, we are asking you to provide us with supplemental information, so that we may better understand your disclosure. Please be as detailed as necessary in your response. After reviewing this information, we may raise additional comments. Please understand that the purpose of our review process is to assist you in your compliance with the applicable disclosure requirements and to enhance the overall disclosure in your filings. We look forward to working with you in these respects. We welcome any questions you may have about our comments or on any other aspect of our review. Feel free to call us at the telephone numbers listed at the end of this letter. General - 1. We note the disclosure in your Form 10-K for fiscal 2005 that you expected your presence in Syria to end in 2006. We note also that the list of subsidiaries included as Exhibit 21 to your Form 10-K for fiscal 2006 includes Conoco Syria DEZ Gas Ltd. and Conoco Syria Ltd., entities incorporated in Bermuda Please advise us whether you continue to have operations or activities associated with Syria. 2. We note that on page 32 of your 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, you state that LUKOIL has exploratory or other projects under way in a number of countries, including Iran. We also note an article from April 2006 that reports that LUKOIL has invested heavily in a number of countries, including Sudan. Iran and Sudan have been identified by the U.S. State Department as state sponsors of terrorism, and are subject to U.S. economic sanctions and export controls. Please address for us the potential impact on your reputation and share value of the fact that LUKOIL, a company in which you hold an approximately 20 percent equity stake and have Board representation, appears to have operations associated with Iran and Sudan. We note in this regard 2004 reports that you were ending your operations in Iran and Syria following a request by the New York City Comptroller that you examine your ties with countries that promote terrorism. Please also address the potential impact of LUKOIL`S contacts with Iran and Sudan upon the value of your approximately 20 percent ownership interest in LUKOIL.
