ConocoPhillips (Template:Nyse) is an international energy company with its headquarters located in Houston. It was founded by the merger of Conoco Inc. and the Phillips Petroleum Company on August 30, 2002.

In the United States, the company operates Conoco, Phillips 66, and Union 76 (which it bought from Unocal) retail gas stations. In Europe, it operates Jet filling stations in Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Hungary, Norway, Poland, Slovakia, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. ProJet is the brand operated in Malaysia, Turkpetrol in Turkey, and COOP in Switzerland.

In 2005, the corporation began rebranding their Union 76 gas stations, prompting a petition campaign by fans hoping to save the historic 76 orange ball signage.
