ConocoPhillips' fourth-quarter earnings fell, hurt by lower prices that were slightly offset by higher production.

The Houston-based oil producer on Thursday posted a profit of $1.44 billion, or $1.17 a share, compared with $2.31 billion, or $1.90 a share, a year earlier.

Stripping out one-time items, primarily relating to a gain on asset sales and restructuring costs, earnings were $1.02 a share. Analysts polled by FactSet expected adjusted earnings of $1.07 a share.

Conoco's total average realized price per barrel of oil equivalent was $42.46 during the recent quarter, down 19% from the same quarter last year. Production came in at approximately 2.32 million barrels of oil equivalent per day, up 137 million barrels of oil equivalent per day from last year.

Chief Executive Ryan Lance said the company looking forward is focused on driving a $1 billion reduction in its capital and costs this year.

For the current quarter, Conoco expects to produce 2.3 million to 2.34 million barrels of oil equivalent per day. For the year, it forecast production of 2.33 million to 2.36 million barrels of oil equivalent per day.
