SHARING INSIGHTS From the desk of Ryan Lance Chairman & CEO AS THE HOUSTON AREA RECOVERS from the devastating aftermath of Hurricane Harvey, I continue to be impressed by the incredible compassion and resilience of our ConocoPhillips workforce. We are forging ahead on many fronts, including the completion of this special issue of spirit Magazine featuring the annual SPIRIT of Performance Awards. One of the most important responsibilities of my job is meeting with ConocoPhillips employees and listening to their ideas and concerns. During the past quarter, I visited China, Malaysia and Indonesia and saw the amazing work our people are doing on projects such as additional development phases at the Peng Lai field in Bohai Bay; production rampup and an active exploration program in Malaysia; and an initiative to sell more gas in Indonesia. During a visit to Alaska, I heard excitement around our Willow discovery in the National Petroleum Reserve and the active upcoming winter drilling campaign. In July, the company’s board of directors joined me on a visit to our Bakken operations in North Dakota, where the team patiently answered all our questions and showed why ConocoPhillips is recognized as an operator of choice in that important region.
