Oil Prices Lift Exxon Mobil Profits

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Exxon Mobil Corp.(XOM) on Thursday said quarterly profit rose by more than 50 percent as sharply higher oil and gas prices helped fuel better-than-expected results.
The hike in energy prices also lifted profit at independent oil and gas producer Apache Corp.(APA), while a large charge erased the benefit of stronger commodity prices at Amerada Hess Corp.(AHC), which posted a quarterly loss.
Exxon Mobil, the world's No. 1 publicly traded oil company, saw benchmark oil prices rise by more than 40 percent from a year earlier amid fears of a potential war in Iraq and as a labor strike hit Venezuela, one of the largest crude exporters in the world.
Net income jumped 53 percent to $4.09 billion, or 60 cents a share, in the fourth quarter from $2.68 billion, or 39 cents a share, a year earlier.

There are two things you need for an adventure, a treasure map and someone dumb enough to go with you.
