ConocoPhillips produced an average of nearly 2.4 million barrels of oil equivalent ( BOE ) per day during the first quarter .

That production was up 5% from the year-ago period due to its investments to grow its output in low-cost regions.

The oil giant ended the period with $7.5 billion in cash and short-term investments on its balance sheet.

It used that money to help fund $3.4 billion of capital expenditures and investments to maintain and grow its production.

Stock Advisor’s total average return is 909% — a market-crushing outperformance compared to 163% for the S&P 500.
