ANCHORAGE, Alaska – In connection with ConocoPhillips’ second-quarter 2021 earnings announced earlier today, ConocoPhillips Alaska reported the following 2021 earnings facts.

ConocoPhillips Alaska reported a net income of $371 million in the second quarter of 2021, as per ConocoPhillips’ earnings supplemental information.

During this time, ConocoPhillips Alaska incurred an estimated $279 million in taxes and royalties due to the State of Alaska and $76 million in estimated taxes and royalties due to the federal government. Additionally, the company invested $228 million in capital in the State of Alaska, which represents approximately 18 percent of the corporation’s global capital expenditures and investments in the second quarter.

Year to date 2021, ConocoPhillips Alaska has incurred an estimated $506 million in the form of taxes and royalties to the State of Alaska, $105 million estimated federal taxes and royalties, and has invested $463 million in capital in the State.

“After working through last year’s market volatility and the pandemic, the theme for us this year has been Getting Back to Work,” said Erec Isaacson, president, ConocoPhillips Alaska, “and we are full speed ahead.”

“Alaskans are back to work on the North Slope,” he continued, “and ConocoPhillips is investing in Alaska’s future. The state’s economy is no doubt still on shaky ground, but we are fully engaged in multiple large-scale projects, like our planned Willow field, and the long-term engineering, construction, and maintenance they require are crucial to that recovery. The state needs now, more than ever, a predictable and stable fiscal regime in order to stay competitive in the global market.”

Since 2007, ConocoPhillips Alaska has paid over $39 billion in taxes and royalties to the State of Alaska and the federal government. Of that amount, about $30 billion went directly to the State. In that same period, ConocoPhillips Alaska’s earnings have been approximately $21 billion.
