Royal Dutch Shell reported its third quarter 2016 results. Key points included:
- Earnings of $2.8 billion, down from $2.4 billion in the third quarter of 2015, driven by lower oil and gas prices being offset by higher volumes and lower costs.
- Oil and gas production of 3.25 million barrels of oil equivalent per day, up from 3 million the previous year.
- LNG liquefaction volumes of 3.75 million tonnes.
- Continued focus on re-shaping Shell through consolidating BG, updating capital investment guidance, reducing costs and divestments.

factors that could affect the future operations of Royal Dutch Shell and could cause those results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements included in this release,
