Exxon Mobil planning to keep Argentine assets

BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) - U.S. oil major Exxon Mobil Corp said on Monday it was keeping its Argentine assets, reversing an announced decision to abandon the country, an official said.

Exxon (XOM.N: Quote, Profile, Research) operates in Argentina under its affiliate Esso and controls 13 percent of the oil market in the country.
