ConocoPhillips flies to Bartlesville the week it reports Q1 earnings and Middle East disruption

ConocoPhillips flew from Houston Intercontinental to Bartlesville Municipal on May 14, a 67-minute hop aboard its Embraer ERJ-145XR, N284CP. The aircraft, acquired last year for employee shuttles in the Lower 48, touched down just after 8:50 a.m. local time.

The trip arrives the same week ConocoPhillips reported first-quarter 2026 earnings of $2.2 billion, per its SEC filing on April 30. The company also flagged ongoing disruption from the Middle East conflict, excluding Qatar from second-quarter production guidance, as covered by World Oil. Bartlesville, home to ConocoPhillips' former corporate roots and still a significant administrative hub, is a regular stop for the shuttle fleet.

The flight follows a pattern of recent hops between Houston, Midland, Carlsbad, and Bartlesville — the network ConocoPhillips Aviation laid out when it began the E145 shuttle service in mid-2024, per Hamden Aviation. With the Willow project in Alaska nearing 50% completion and Permian activity ramping, the shuttle schedule reflects a company moving people around a sprawling domestic operation.
