EXPLANATORY NOTE

ConocoPhillips (the “Registrant”) filed a Registration Statement on Form S-8 on April 4, 2008 (Registration No. 333-150086) (the “Registration Statement”) to register shares of the Registrant’s common stock, par value $.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), for issuance pursuant to the Burlington Resources Inc. Retirement Savings Plan. Since the filing of the Registration Statement, the Burlington Resources Inc. Retirement Savings Plan has been merged with and into the ConocoPhillips Savings Plan. As a result, the Burlington Resources Inc. Retirement Savings Plan is no longer in existence and annual reports will no longer be filed for such plan. Annual reports will continue to be filed for the ConocoPhillips Savings Plan, the successor plan to the Burlington Resources Inc. Retirement Savings Plan.

In accordance with the undertaking contained in the Registration Statement pursuant to Item 512 of Regulation S-K, this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement is being filed to deregister and remove all of the previously registered shares of Common Stock that remain unissued and unsold under the Registration Statement as of the date hereof.
