HOUSTON—Exxon Mobil Corp is suing Australia’s Macquarie Energy in a Texas court to avoid paying $11.7 million for missed deliveries during last month’s winter freeze in the central United States.
The lawsuit, filed by Exxon’s natural gas business, said the massive storm and state declarations of emergencies prevented it from fulfilling its supply commitment to Macquarie Energy, the second largest U.S. gas marketer.
