July 7 (Reuters) - ‌U.S. ​oil ​and gas major Exxon Mobil signaled on ‌Tuesday that changes in oil ⁠prices would boost its ‌second-quarter upstream earnings by $3.5 ‌billion to $3.9 billion.

Benchmark Brent crude prices averaged at $93.58 ​a barrel during the April-June quarter, up ⁠4.8% from the prior quarter.

The U.S.-Iran war ​injected a hefty geopolitical risk premium into oil ​markets and heightened ‌fears of disruption in supply through the ⁠Strait of Hormuz, which carries about a fifth of ⁠global oil flows. Brent climbed to $109.27 ​a barrel in April for the first time since 2022.

The industry ‌bellwether had posted $5.7 billion in upstream earnings ‌for the first ⁠quarter.
