Marathon Oil reported a jump in gas sector profits that it included a gain from the sale of its share of Alaska’s Kenai LNG export plant.

The US independent said today that it booked $55 million in segment income for the third quarter, compared to $41 million in the same period of last year.

Marathon sold its 30% stake in Kenai LNG to ConocoPhillips, giving the US supermajor full control of the plant.
