ExxonMobil Q3 profit, sales dip

US energy giant ExxonMobil has reported a smaller-than-expected dip in profit for the third quarter on falling production and sales.

Net income for the July-September quarter dropped 7.0 per cent from a year earlier to $US9.6 billion ($A9.3 billion), Exxon Mobil Corporation said.

Earnings of $US2.09 per share were down 2.0 per cent from the 2011 third quarter, solidly topping Wall Street forecasts of $US1.96.

Revenue fell 7.7 per cent to $US115.7 billion as oil equivalent production declined 7.5 per cent in the quarter, the Irving, Texas-based company said.

ExxonMobil increased capital and exploration spending by 7.0 per cent to $US9.2 billion, the bulk of it outside the United States.

The quarter included a $US5.1 billion share buyback.

"Third-quarter results reflect our ongoing commitment to help deliver the energy needed to underpin economic recovery and growth while maintaining our strong focus on safety and environmental performance," said chairman Rex Tillerson.
