  /LP,/TX  While executives promoted their $15.5 billion deal to unite Phillips 
    Petroleum Co. and Conoco as a merger of equals, analysts described the 
    combination as a deal done to survive. 
     
  /TX  If Phillips and Conoco hadn't decided to join forces, analysts said Monday, 
    they risked losing market share to competitors in an unhealthy business 
    climate for all but the largest petroleum companies. 
                        (...) 
    Wall Street reacted positively to the deal. Conoco shares rose $1.68, or 
    6.8 percent, at $25.98 on the New York Stock Exchange, while Phillips 
    shares rose $1.53, or nearly 3 percent, to $53.35.
