    Business Editors/Energy Editors

    HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 15, 2005--ConocoPhillips (NYSE:COP) today announced that David L. Boren has elected to retire from the company's board of directors. Boren has served on the board since 1994. His resignation is effective immediately.
    "In order to focus my time and energy on my work at the University of Oklahoma and to spend more time with my family, I have decided to limit my outside activities," said Boren. "Serving on the ConocoPhillips board has been an honor and a privilege. The company is not only strong financially, but it is also a good corporate citizen."
    "David has been a valued asset to ConocoPhillips for many years," said Jim Mulva, chairman and chief executive officer. "David is a great American and a treasured friend whose counsel and judgment have been clear and consistent. His presence on our board will truly be missed."

    Other Board Changes

    The company also announced that the board of directors has amended the by-laws to change the retirement policy for board members. The new policy, which became effective Feb. 4, 2005, allows board members to serve until the annual shareholders' meeting after reaching age 72. The prior policy required retirement upon reaching age 70.
    The amendment will affect four directors who would otherwise retire this year -- Norm Augustine and Larry Horner, standing for re-election at the May 2005 shareholders meeting, as well as Stapleton Roy and William Rhodes.
    Frank McPherson will retire at this year's shareholder's meeting pursuant to the new policy.
