The companies posted strong results in their production units, helped by the surge in benchmark Brent crude oil futures, which averaged around $114 a barrel in the quarter. Earlier this month, the United Kingdom passed a 25% windfall tax on oil and gas producers in the British North Sea. U.S. lawmakers have discussed a similar idea, though it faces long odds in Congress.A windfall tax doesn't provide "incentive for increased production, which is really what the world needs today," said Exxon CFO Kathryn Mikells, in an interview with Reuters.
