Top: Business: Energy: Oil_and_Gas: Operating_Companies
| The Oil and Gas Companies category is divided into four sections; operating companies (those involved in exploration, production and development of oil and gas fields); service companies (those companies which provide services, equipment, technical staff and information etc. to the operating companies); processing (companies which conduct oil and gas processing and refining);distributors (those companies involved in the distribution and wholesale/retail sale of oil, gas, petroleum goods and lubricants etc.). |
This main category includes only VERTICALLY INTEGRATED COMPANIES that include divisions for exploration, production, refining and wholesale and/or retail sales. Most operating companies fall into the various subcategories.
|
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"
Companies which conduct refining and processing of oil and gas.
