LNG

ExxonMobil Corp., the largest US oil company and leading LNG producer and a partner of Qatar, said changes in natural gas prices would impact its second-quarter Upstream earnings by $1.8 billion to $2.2 billion compared with the first quarter even as the company was also overhauling trading activities and embarking on oil projects in Guyana and LNG expansion.

ExxonMobil Corp., the leading global oil and gas company and LNG market operator, indicated that first-quarter earnings could fall by up to 25 percent from the previous quarter because of falling prices and other factors.
