Symbol description changes for ConocoPhillips crude postings

ConocoPhillips has announced the separation of the company into 2 stand-alone, publicly traded corporations, effective May 1. All refining, marketing and transportation assets and business will be transferred to and operated by Phillips 66 Company, a new company. ConocoPhillips will continue as an exploration and production company.

In anticipation of this change, Platts has adjusted the descriptions of the symbols currently used for ConocoPhillips crude postings to reflect the name of the new company.
