Aug 1 (Reuters) - Marathon Oil Corp said quarterly profit fell, hurt by a drop in crude oil and natural gas prices.
The Houston oil and gas company on Wednesday reported a profit of $393 million, or 56 cents per share, compared with $996 million, or $1.39 per share, a year earlier.
Oil and gas output in the quarter was 363,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day, up from 341,000 a year ago.
