ConocoPhillips is working with advisers to seek a buyer, with interest expected from strategic as well as private equity suitors, the people said.
Deliberations are at an early stage and the Houston-based company may decide not to sell the assets, they added.
ConocoPhillips in its fourth-quarter earning release said it closed $3.2 billion in asset sales in 2025 and remains on track to meet its $5 billion disposition target by the end of 2026, as it streamlines its business.
ConocoPhillips did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment on the Bloomberg report.
