Stripping out certain one-time items, adjusted earnings came in at $1.81 a share. Analysts polled by FactSet expected $1.64 a share.
Total revenue and nonoperating income declined to $2.94 billion from $3.34 billion. Analysts polled by FactSet expected $2.76 billion.
Oil and natural gas net production in the quarter came in at 476,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day.
The company's average realized crude oil selling price during the quarter was $71.22 a barrel, down from $80.06 a barrel a year prior.
