1Q12 or $1.5 billion in 4Q12.
1Q12 or $1.5 billion in 4Q12.
– EPS $1.69 (diluted) vs. $1.92 (diluted) in 1Q12 or $1.83 in 4Q12.
– Compared to 4Q12, current quarter results reflected higher
realized oil prices, reduced operating expenses in the oil and
gas business and higher earnings in the midstream segment,
which were offset by lower volumes in the Middle East/North
Africa, as a result of planned maintenance turnarounds, and
higher DD&A rates.
