ConocoPhillips (COP) said Tuesday it now expects $6.3 billion in capital expenditures this year, up from a prior forecast of $6.1 billion.

The oil producer believes that spending will rise compared with its earlier forecast due to additional exploration work and drilling in Alaska, as well as the addition of a drilling rig in the Eagle Ford production region of Texas.

Conoco also said it expects third-quarter production of 1.29 million to 1.33 million barrels of oil equivalent a day.
