Nov 6 (Reuters) - ConocoPhillips ( COP ) beat Wall
Street estimates for third-quarter profit on Thursday, as higher
oil and gas production and cost-cutting efforts helped offset
lower commodity prices.
The largest U.S. independent oil and gas producer posted an
adjusted profit of $1.61 per share for the quarter ended
September 30, compared with analysts' average estimate of $1.43
per share, according to data compiled by LSEG.
