For any company, achieving business goals depends on healthy and productive employees and contract workers. This issue of spirit Magazine dedi- cates more than 20 pages to efforts that promote employee health and well-being as an essential part of our strategy to be the company of choice for all stakehold- ers. It’s a commitment that we are backing up with actions. The Health and Wellness Issue begins with a profile of our Health Services group (Health Services provides integrated health and wellness for employees, Page 10). Under the leadership of Dr. Paul Hodgins, the Health Services team col- laborates with other internal groups and international business units to promote a companywide culture of physical and mental well-being. As the article points Sheila Feldman Vice President, out, this mission is a tall order for an organization with 17,000-plus employees Human Resources & operating in 30 countries around the world. The team is up to it – from emer- Real Estate & Facilities gency preparedness through wellness programs. Much like our other business Services units, Health Services is always looking ahead, conducting drills to prepare for any situation and developing programs that promote physical fitness and mental health. One of those programs, the voluntary Good for You! campaign, was launched worldwide on May 1, our first anniversary as an independent exploration and production company (The Good for You! campaign promotes health, fun and SPIRITed competition, Page 16). This multi-year, global campaign began with a focus on heart health and includes an online tracking tool that was the result of successful collaboration between Information Technology and members of the health and wellness team. Leveraging innova- tive technologies and architectures, the tool will be available to employees so they can log their activities from anywhere, including, of course, the company’s many wellness centers, which are The Good for You! campaign is stirring up enthusiasm around highlighted in our third feature article (Wellness the world, including among these Australia West employees, Services offers something for everyone, Page 20). who are preparing for the Perth Corporate Triathlon. In the end, it all comes down to people. The fourth article (Good for Them! Healthy inspiration, Page 26) celebrates success stories from around the globe, real stories about real people overcoming obstacles and making a difference in their own lives as well as the lives of their families, friends and colleagues. If you’re like me, you’ll be fascinated to learn how people started out with simple steps – that first mile on the treadmill, a shift in eating habits, visualizing success, following the lead of a grandson – and ultimately achieved something profoundly satisfying. Save, hold onto or bookmark this issue. It may be just the thing that will inspire you on your own journey to health and well-being.

Editor’s Notes: In addition to the health and wellness articles, the 2nd Quarter 2013 issue of spirit Magazine revisits some familiar places like Ekofisk in the North Sea – this time to watch as aging structures are decommissioned and responsibly recycled. If you are an iPad, iPhone or Windows 8 user, keep an eye out for new spirit Magazine apps available soon in the Apple and Microsoft app stores.

Sullivan, supervisor of Wellness Services, has dedicated 25 years to helping Conoco Phillips employees improve their fitness and well-being. “I view physical health as one component of over- all wellness,” said Sullivan. “There are many ways people can positively impact their wellness. If they don’t want to exercise, they can get a massage or play on our Wii Fit.”

Safety & Environment and even Ergonomics. “The team is a big success story,” said Sullivan. “Initially there was little participation from other countries, but since repositioning the international business units are much more engaged.” The wellness craze is spreading like wildfire. Several fitness centers have opened, others are planned, and employee groups worldwide are planning programs to get people moving and eating right. Jesse Bluejacket, who will soon assume the position of supervisor, Westlake Wellness Services & Operations, assists locations seeking to open a new facility. “Employ- ees working on the Eagle Ford project will soon have a fitness center up and running,” said Bluejacket. “We ordered them 30 pieces of cardio and strength equip- ment. We’re also helping a group revamp an outdated gym in Louisiana by adding new elliptical machines, treadmills and weight equipment.” Our Norway Business Unit has a long tradition of health and fitness challenges, along with focused cam- paigns on heart health, tobacco use and other topics. “We have a very active biking group, some of whom even bike to work,” said Tatjana Bergsland, regional medical director for Europe. “A large group takes part in the Nordsjøritt (North Sea Ride), an annual cycling competition from Egersund to Stavanger, a distance of 96 km (60 miles).” Dr. Grant Logan, regional medical director for the Asia-Pacific region, points out the importance of factor- ing in location-specific issues. “For example, skin cancer checks in Australia are particularly important,” said Logan. “Experts conducted 93 skin cancer checks at the Darwin LNG plant and found that 27 percent required further assessment.”

Going against the grain in Jakarta Iis Mattjik After the birth of her two children, Iis Mattjik realized some- thing many new moms face: “Baby weight” can be stubborn. Mattjik decided to change her eating habits, replacing her typical diet of white rice with red rice, which is rich in complex carbohydrates, the so-called good kind because it has a lower glucose infusion rate and is high in fiber. “My stomach felt full more quickly and for a longer period of time,” said Mattjik. Adding exercise helped kick her weight loss into high gear. Twice a week, Mattjik burned calories in high-intensity Zumba classes offered at the Conoco Phillips Indonesia gym. Since incorporating these changes into her lifestyle, Mattjik is happy to share, “Now my weight is three kilograms lower than before pregnancy!” Indira Miranti An informative magazine article helped Indira Miranti make a small, yet significant, change in her lifestyle. After learn- ing about the benefits of complex carbohydrates, Miranti substituted her beloved white rice with the more-beneficial red variety. Close to a year later, Miranti marvels at the results. “I feel that my metabolism is better now, and, because my stomach feels full longer, I don’t have the urge to snack as often.” Making healthy choices in her life could be its own reward, yet, Miranti boasts an accomplishment even greater – encour- aging her husband and kids to make the switch, too.

38 Conoco Phillips Eldfisk II jacket is set in place

he giant Eldfisk II project has Ttaken important steps toward its planned startup in the winter of 2014/2015. The jacket for the new platform – Eldfisk 2/7 S – is now in place on the field, while construction of the topsides is on schedule on the island of Stord, Norway. In April and May, the Saipem 7000 heavy lifting vessel was hard at work on Eldfisk. The project reached a milestone when the 96-meter-high, 13,000-ton jacket for the Eldfisk 2/7 S platform was installed on May 6 under perfect weather conditions. Due to its size, the jacket was not lifted in the normal way, but rather skid-launched from a barge – not that different from how a ship is launched (photo) – then lifted and put into position. The spring lifting campaign was completed with the installation of the last bridge linking the jacket to the rest of the Eldfisk Complex. What remains this year is installing the drilling tem- plate for predrilling through the 2/7 S jacket and one more lift – a new waste heat recycling unit under construction at the Rosenberg yard in Stavanger.

As planned “We are very pleased that this year’s lift- ing program so far has been completed as planned,” said Project Manager Tor Inge Hansen. “All the suppliers and the Eldfisk II project team have contributed in an exemplary way in order to carry this out in a safe and controlled manner. in Finland and Poland.

spirit Magazine 43 Historical Osage connection with Conoco Phillips continues

by Jill S. Jones, Osage Tribal Member and Conoco Phillips employee

n 1930, the Osage Tribal Council Iand Principal Chief Fred Lookout bestowed an unprecedented honor on Frank Phillips by adopting him into the Osage Tribe. The first “white man” who had achieved this high honor, he was given the name Hu-lah Ki-he-kah, which means Eagle Chief in the Osage language. The ceremony took place during the fourth annual Cow Thieves and Outlaws reunion at the Frank Phillips ranch.

Beginning in the early twentieth century, Phillips Petroleum Co. drilled hundreds of wells in the Osage, build- ing the company’s foundation while making millions of dollars for tribe members through royalty income. Royalties were made possible because the Osage Tribe retained owner- ship of the mineral rights on their historical reservation lands in Osage County, Okla. With the mineral rights kept in trust for tribal members, the U.S. Department of Interior allowed
