Top: Business: Energy: Oil_and_Gas: Operating_Companies: Exploration_and_Production

If an organization does not actually drill wells and produce oil and gas, it should probably be submitted to some subcategory in Business: Industries: Energy: Oil and Gas: Companies: Service Companies.

Organizations whose primary business is the finding and production of oil and gas. These are the companies traditionally referred to as "Oil and Gas Operators". Vertically integrated oil companies, no matter how much production they have, go under the parent category "Operating Companies"

Prospects and Investments

Companies that mainly explore for and produce oil and gas and operate these activities should be submitted to the main category Exploration and Production.
The principal business of these organizations is the generation of prospects. A few of these organizations also operate exploration drilling and producing properties. This category also includes organizations that package prospective acreage and/or producing properties for investors as their principal business.

Venture Capital

Submit only sites that provide financing. Organizations that actually operate exploration and production programs should be submitted to the main Exploration and Production category.

Provide financing for oil and gas exploration and production.
