Iran threatens to close the strait in case of attack.

4. ExxonMobil - by 5.3 million barrels per day

    Possessing huge natural reserves of oil and gas, Russia has been successfully trading fuel raw materials with many countries of the world for a long time. This work is ensured by organizations that protect a truly strategic outpost of a huge country - oil industry... The functioning of this industry is unthinkable without the organization of the most complex set of interactions between oil companies that extract "black gold", process it, transport it and sell it to consumers, including at ordinary gas stations. There is also the maintenance of the most complex technological equipment, and the construction of oil rigs, and the laying of pipelines, the arrangement and repair of wells.

    The list of major oil companies in Russia consists of the real giants of the oil industry, which have signs of natural monopolies. In reality, the industry is “divided”, since the work of each individual company has a certain specificity. Someone is engaged in service maintenance, someone specializes in field development, and someone designs and builds modern oil refineries. All together, this is a powerful conglomerate operating under the control of the main leadership of the country and the Government of the Russian Federation.

    List of major oil companies in Russia

    On the scale of a huge country, out of more than two dozen relatively large companies, 7 "giants" can be distinguished:

    • Lukoil
    • Rosneft
    • TNK-BP Holding
    • Gazprom Neft
    • Surgutneftegaz
    • Tatneft
    • Bashneft

    The list of Russian oil companies is headed by Lukoil, a company whose name is encoded with the names of cities where oil workers live - Langepas, Urai, Kogalym (+ oil). The second in the list, but the first in oil production, is Rosneft, which is considered the largest state oil company. The third place in production is traditionally taken by the TNK-BP concern, created jointly with the British company British Petroleum.



    The list for small oil companies can be much more extensive, but here there are organizations that stand out from the general row due to their success in the domestic Russian market:

    • RussNeft
    • Zarubezhneft
    • Slavneft
    • Transneft
    • Transnefteproduct
    • Total Exploration Development Russia
    • Sakhalin Energy Investment

    Among the large organizations representing the oil industry in Russia, one can find companies from Moscow, Syktyvkar, Surgut, Tatarstan, Chechnya, etc.

    Major global competitors

    Russian oil industry giants are well represented on the world market. Their main competitors there are Saudi Aramco from Saudi Arabia, National Iranian Oil Co. from Iran, Royal Dutch Shell (England / Netherlands), as well as American oil companies, the list of the largest of which will be as follows:

    • ExxonMobil
    • Chevron
    • Pennzoil
    • Standard Oil
    • Valero Energy
    • Murphy Oil
    • Hess Corporation
    • Baker hughes
    • Continental Resourses
    • ConocoPhillips

The largest oil and gas companies in the world in terms of hydrocarbon production. The ranking is interesting precisely because it provides data on both oil and gas production converted to conventional barrels of oil per day. This approach makes it possible to compare companies with different production structures within the same list and understand which of them is “larger”.

The second feature of the ranking is the inclusion in it not only of public and partially state corporations, but also completely state ones, which journalists often forget. But it is the state-owned companies and even the oil and gas ministries of individual countries that often produce more oil and gas than well-known private giants.

In developing its hydrocarbon production, Russia is following a hybrid path: the formation of huge state-controlled companies with multibillion-dollar revenues and an opaque system of expenses, combined with the presence of a small number of private investors. At the same time, the fact that some of the mega-companies' shares are traded on exchanges makes it easier for them to obtain loans and evaluate their stakes in exchange transactions of the Rosneft-BP type. offers a translation of the ranking published on forbes.com, with its explanations and additions.


1. Saudi aramco- 12.5 mln b / d (conventional barrels of oil per day)

State Oil and Gas Company of Saudi Arabia. In fact, it acts as a balancing force in the world oil market, increasing and decreasing production depending on the movement of exchange prices.

2. Gazprom- 9.7 million bpd

Russian company controlled by the state. The bulk of the hydrocarbons produced is gas, although Gazprom owns almost 100% of the shares of the large oil company Gazprom Neft (formerly Sibneft). The state, through several legal entities, owns slightly more than 50% of Gazprom's shares. However, the real power in the company belongs to a group of managers closely associated with the "St. Petersburg" political and business group. Gazprom's financial flows are serviced by a private Gazprombank controlled by the Rossiya bank from St. Petersburg, the so-called “bank of Vladimir Putin's friends,” construction contracts are carried out by companies of the same group, the country's largest insurance group SOGAZ, which is part of Gazprom’s “perimeter”, belongs to the bank "Russia"...

3. National Iranian Oil Co.- 6.4 million bpd

Fully state-owned Iranian corporation. Recently experiencing sales difficulties due to sanctions imposed on oil exports from Iran Western countries... Nevertheless, Iran successfully cooperates with India, Turkey and China, supplying them with oil in exchange not only for dollars, but also, for example, for gold or yuan.

4. ExxonMobil- 5.3 million bpd

The largest private oil and gas company in the world with annual revenues of about $ 500 billion. Unlike most other oil and gas corporations, it is truly global, operating in dozens of countries around the world. One of the most hated corporations in the world, mainly for tough international politics and disregard for fashion values ​​- from "green" to "blue".

(no number) New Rosneft- 4.6 million bpd

After the merger with TNK-BP, Rosneft will become the world's largest publicly traded oil company. Gazprom and ExxonMobil, which are ahead of it in the ranking, have the main (or significant) share in the production of gas. It is sometimes mistakenly said that Rosneft will become the world's largest private oil company. This is wrong, since public status (that is, the listing of part of the shares on the stock exchange) does not mean that the company is controlled by private shareholders. Rosneft was, is and will remain under state control, despite the possible continuation of partial privatization.

5. PetroChina- 4.4 million bpd

A state-controlled Chinese oil and gas company, the largest of China's three oil giants. It was once the largest public company in the world, but has since fallen in price. In many ways it is similar to the Russian Rosneft (connections in the country's leadership, the implementation of political and economic government orders, etc.), adjusted for the scale - the Chinese company is still several times larger.

6. BP- 4.1 million b / d

British "special company" for working with unpleasant regimes. At one time, she managed to work in many "hot spots", bringing income to her country and shareholders. V last years concentrates efforts on oil production in the USA and Russia. Following the deal over TNK-BP, it will become Rosneft's largest private shareholder. The company's-controlled oil production will drop by almost a third as a result of this deal, but cooperation with the Russian oil near-monopoly could bring additional financial income. And there is no need to worry about BP's reputation - what's the point of worrying about something that never happened?

7. Royal Dutch Shell- 3.9 million bpd

The European equivalent of ExxonMobil is a wholly private Anglo-Dutch global corporation with traditional oil industry views on business ethics. Works actively in Africa and Russia.

8. Pemex(Petróleos Mexicanos) - 3.6M bbl / d

An extremely poorly managed Mexican state-owned oil producer. Despite the presence in the country of one of the world's largest oil companies, Mexico imports gasoline, since the profit from the sale of oil goes not to investments in refining, but to government (including social) programs.

9. Chevron- 3.5 million b / d

An international oil, gas and energy corporation headquartered in the United States. In addition to the extraction and processing of hydrocarbons, it is engaged in the production of electricity, including actively involved in "alternative" energy projects. The main production facilities are located in the USA, Australia, Nigeria, Angola, Kazakhstan.

10. Kuwait Petroleum Corp.- 3.2 million bpd

Kuwait's state-owned oil and gas holding company, which controls many upstream and downstream companies. Oddly enough, it is very widely represented in the retail gasoline market in Denmark, Sweden, Belgium, the Netherlands under the brands Q8, OKQ8, Q8 Easy.

11. Abu Dhabi National Oil Co.- 2.9 million bpd

State Oil and Gas Company United United Arab Emirates... Among other things, it is a major partner of the US government, including supplying fuel for US troops.

12. Sonatrach- 2.7 million bpd

Algerian state-owned company, mainly gas. Also engaged in oil production, petrochemical production and energy. One of the main competitors of Gazprom in Europe.

13. Total- 2.7 million bpd

French oil and gas company known for its funny mustache and glasses general director Christophe de Magerie and the fact that 3% of the company's shares belong to Qatar and about the same amount to China. Total is developing the liquefied natural gas market and, quite possibly, will begin deliveries in 2015.

14. Petrobras(Petróleo Brasileiro) - 2.6 million bbl / d

More than 60% of the shares are owned by the Brazilian government, the rest of the shares are traded on the stock exchanges in New York and Sao Paulo. The Brazilian corporation made history with the largest one-time public offering of shares on the stock exchange: in September 2010, securities were sold for $ 72.8 billion. The company is fighting for the rights of whales, which does not prevent it from drilling deep-water wells in the ocean.

15. Rosneft- 2.6 million bpd

Igor Ivanovich Sechin and his friends.

16. Iraqi Oil Ministry- 2.3 million b / d

Iraqi Oil Ministry.

17. Qatar Petroleum- 2.3 million b / d

Qatar state oil and gas company, future global Gazprom. World leader in natural gas liquefaction projects.

18. Lukoil- 2.2 million bpd

General sponsor of the football team Spartak (Moscow).

19. Eni- 2.2 million bpd

A global Italian oil and gas company operating in dozens of countries around the world. It has a large network of gas stations under the Agip brand. The main distinguishing feature is the logo with a six-legged dog spewing fire. They say that the artist created it under the influence of the legend of the Nibelungs, but according to another version, completely different substances acted on him. Slightly more than 30% of the company's shares are directly and indirectly owned by the state, the rest is traded on stock exchanges. According to the law, no investor (except for the Italian state) has the right to concentrate more than 3% of the shares in himself, do not even try.

20. Statoil- 2.1 million bpd

Norwegian oil and gas company, 2/3 of the shares of which are owned by the state. The basis of Norwegian socialism. The current main competitor of Gazprom in Europe.

21. ConocoPhillips- 2 mln b / d

American private corporation. In recent years, she became famous for two controversial actions: the purchase and subsequent quick sale of a large stake in Lukoil (up to 18%), as well as the spin-off and sale of the oil refining division. Now ConocoPhillips is perhaps the world's only major upstream oil company.
