Recent developments highlight a mixed landscape for the energy sector. A regulatory update on offshore drilling permits in the Gulf of Mexico has drawn attention, with the Department of Interior announcing a revised schedule for lease auctions in early 2026. While no immediate operational changes were mandated for existing producers, the adjusted timeline could influence long-term capital allocation strategies. Additionally, a shift in transportation infrastructure funding for key pipelines in Texas has raised logistical concerns, though ConocoPhillips’ diversified production mix and existing pipeline partnerships are expected to mitigate direct impacts.

Market participants are closely monitoring the company’s response to a new environmental reporting framework proposed by the SEC. The draft rules would require enhanced disclosure of methane emissions and climate-related risks, aligning with broader industry trends toward transparency. Analysts note that ConocoPhillips’ pre-announced sustainability initiatives, including its 2024 methane intensity reduction targets, position it favorably to meet regulatory expectations without significant operational retooling.

To run this back-test accurately I need to confirm a few practical details: 1. Stock universe • Should we limit the selection to U.S. listed equities (NYSE + NASDAQ) or another market? • Do you want to exclude ETFs, preferreds, ADRs, etc.? 2. Pricing convention • Buy at today’s close and sell at tomorrow’s close (close-to-close), or buy at tomorrow’s open? • Equal-weight each day (i.e., 1/500 per position) – is that acceptable? 3. Portfolio-level result • Our back-test engine runs one ticker at a time. To evaluate a 500-stock daily-rotating basket I will aggregate the individual returns externally and then feed the daily portfolio equity curve into the engine for risk/return statistics. (This will not require any extra input from you, but I want to be sure that approach meets your expectations.) Once these points are clear I can generate the data-retrieval plan and start the back-test.
