ConocoPhillips (NYSE:COP) Files An 8-K Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of
Assets.
On May17, 2017 (the Closing), ConocoPhillips (the Company)
completed its previously announced sale to Cenovus Energy Inc.
(Cenovus) of the Companys 50 percent non-operated interest in the
FCCL Partnership, the owner of the Foster Creek, Christina Lake
and Narrows Lake oil sands projects in northeast Alberta (FCCL),
as well as the majority of the Companys western Canada gas assets
(collectively called the WCBU Assets). The sale was completed to
a Purchase and Sale Agreement with Cenovus, as amended as of
May16, 2017, which is included as Exhibits 2.1 and 2.2 hereto and
incorporated herein by reference.
Total consideration received by the Company for the transaction
was comprised of $12.4 billion in cash (after a downward
adjustment of $600 million for amounts withheld and escrowed
relating to certain environmental claims pending future
resolution offset by an upward adjustment of $426 million for the
return of cash from FCCL and other customary adjustments) and
208,000,000 common shares issued by Cenovus (Share
Consideration). Additionally, for each quarter in the five years
following the Closing in which the average quarterly Western
Canadian Select (WCS) crude price exceeds CA$52.00 per barrel,
Cenovus will make contingent payments to the Company in an amount
equal to CA$6 million multiplied by the amount that the average
quarterly WCS crude price exceeds CA$52.00 per barrel. The
calculation includes an adjustment mechanism related to
significant outages which may reduce the amount of the contingent
payment. The contingent payments are uncapped.
In Canada, the Company has retained its operated 50 percent
interest in the Surmont oil sands joint venture and its 100
percent operated interest in the Blueberry-Montney unconventional
acreage position.

On May17, 2017, the Company issued a press release announcing
completion of the previously announced disposition of FCCL and
