HOUSTON Oct 28 (Reuters) - Exxon Mobil Corp (XOM.N:
Quote) has not shut off any North American natural gas production because of current low prices for the fuel, an executive said on Thursday.
"We have not shut in any gas wells," David Rosenthal, an investor relations executive for the oil company told analysts on a conference call.
Exxon is the largest producer of natural gas in North America following its purchase of XTO Energy in June.
On Wednesday, ConocoPhillips said it had closed down a small amount of its gas production, citing low prices.
Hefty supplies of natural gas have weighed on the market. Since January, natural gas futures on the New York Mercantile Exchange have fallen more than 30 percent
