NEW YORK - Exxon Mobil Corp. will book a $1.6 billion gain in its third quarter from the sale of its interests in a natural-gas transport business in northern Germany, the oil giant disclosed Thursday in a Securities and Exchange Commission filing.

In a Form 8-K, Exxon Mobil said the deal closed Wednesday.
Last November, Royal Dutch Shell announced that affiliates of it and Exxon Mobil had agreed to sell the business of the German joint venture BEB Erdgas und Erdoel GmbH to Dutch gas transport company NV Nederlandse Gasunie.
Exxon Mobil's filing did not specify if that deal was the transaction referred to in the filing. A company representative could not be immediately reached for comment.
Exxon Mobil posted a $10.9 billion profit in the first quarter, the second-largest quarterly profit in U.S. corporate history.
