Here are the top 5 Biggest Oil & Gas companies in the world:
1. Royal Dutch Shell ($458.4bn)
The world's Biggest Oil & Gas company (and the worlds largest company in all sectors by revenue) is Royal Dutch Shell, a business which generated revenues of $458.4bn in 2009 - more than twice the GDP of Israel. The companies registered office is in London, whilst the company headquarters is in The Netherlands. The business is operational in over 140 countries, with US subsidiary 'The Shell Oil Company' being one of the most profitable.2. Exxon Mobil ($442.9bn)
Following very closely behind Shell is American based multinational corporation Exxon Mobil, a company formed in November 1999 following a merger between Exxon and Mobil. The company posted annual revenues for 2009 of $442.9bn, and as of 2007 had estimated oil reserves of 72 billion barrels. The business employs approximately 80,000 people globally. Exxon also has the second largest revenues of all companies across any sector.3. BP Plc ($246.1bn)
The third largest Oil & Gas company, as already mentioned, is BP Plc. The business, which employs around 92,000 people, and is the fourth largest corporation in the world (by annual revenues). Walmart is the business which sits between Exxon Mobil and BP Plc. The revenues of $246.1bn still exceed the GDP of Israel, to use that as a continued example. The headquarters of BP is in London, although the business is an Anglo-American business as per my hubpage on BP Plc Ownership Statistics.4. Saudi Aramco ($233.0bn)
The fourth largest, and the fastest growing, Oil & Gas company is Saudi Aramco which had 2008 revenues of $233.0bn. The result was the overtaking of Total S.A to achieve the fourth largest market share. Saudi Aramco also has the largest proven crude oil reserves of any energy business, and operates almost entirely in oil rich Saudi Arabia where it has 100 active oil and gas fields with reserves of at least 264bn barrels. The business is believed to be by far the most profitable in the world. Saudi Aramco is fully owned by the Saudi government and employs around 52,000 people.5. Total S.A. ($217.6bn)
Total S.A. takes fifth place on the basis of its 2007 figures, although more recent figures - yet to be formalised - are believed to have pushed Total S.A. down into 6th place out of the six 'supermajor' world oil companies. The sixth of the supermajors, US based Chevron Corp, is believed to have performed much better than Total S.A. in 2009. Total S.A. is a French based business with over 96000 employees and operations in more than 130 countries. The French government, who were involved in the companies formation, still hold a 5% share in the business.
