(Reuters) - Exxon Mobil Corp (N:XOM), the world's largest publicly traded oil producer, said on Friday its quarterly profit nearly doubled on surging margins at its operations outside the United States.
The company posted net income of $3.35 billion (2.55 billion pounds), or 78 cents per share, compared to $1.7 billion, or 41 cents per share, a year earlier.
Production fell about 1 percent to 3.9 million barrels of oil equivalent per day.
