OSLO -- Norwegian oil company Statoil ASA has posted a 5 percent jump in third-quarter profits, saying gains on currency values helped offset the effects of sagging oil and gas prices. The state-controlled oil concern said Wednesday that net profit for the July through September period inched up to 6.6 billion kroner (US$1.1 billion) from 6.3 billion kroner in 2008.
