Foreign currency effects increased earnings in 2Q17 by $3 million, compared to an increase of $279 million a year before. Sales and other operating revenues in 2Q17 were $33 billion. This is compared to $28 billion in 2Q16.

“We’re delivering higher production with lower capital and operating expenditures.
“Oil and gas production was up 10% in the second quarter from a year ago.
“Our Gorgon LNG Project in Australia closed the quarter running above nameplate capacity and we had record production from our shale and tight resource in the Permian Basin. First production from the Wheatstone LNG Project is expected next month.
“Operating expenses were down 10% and capital spending was down 25% in the first six months of the year versus 2016.”
