    The third largest oil and gas company is the National

    Iranian Oil Co.

    The company that was to become BP, AICO (Anglo-

    Iranian Oil Company), initially owned rights to all

    Persian oil resources. However they were ousted when

    the Iranian oil industry was nationalised resulting in the

    formation of the NIOC in 1951.

    This meant the NIOC had exclusive rights to all Iranian

    extraction, exploration, transportation and exportation

    of crude oil, and all natural gas / LNG sales.

    Remarkably the NIOC remains a major oil and gas

    producer despite international sanctions targeting oil

    revenues in an effort to stop Irans nuclear programme.

    Its thought that some nations have been purchasing oil

    from Iran with Gold to bypass sanction regulations.

    Iran has threatened to close the Strait of Hormuz in

    retaliation for U.S. and European sanctions which could

    lead to a spike in oil prices globally.

    The UAE in response is looking to the Fujairah Terminallocated on the Gulf of Oman as opposed to the Persian

    Gulf, theoretically a perfect position to sidestep the

    diplomatically tense chokepoint.

    BIJAN NAMADAR ZANGENEHPetroleum Minister

    Bijan Namdar Zangeneh was appointed Irans

    petroleum minister in 2013. In the same year he was

    BPD 4.6 millionFounded 1993

    Headquarters Moscow, Russia

    State Owned? Yes

    President Igor Sechin

    Revenue US$ 102 Billion (2012)

    Employees 106,000

    Rosneft is a Russian, state owned NOC. The company

    was formed in 1993 from assets previously held by

    Rosneftegaz, the successor to the Soviet Union'sMinistry of Oil and Gas. Currently the state holds

    69.50% in Rosneft.

    In 1995 Rosneft was turned into an open joint stock

    company. Plans to privatise the company in the late 90s

    never materialised.

    Rosneft operates in key regions of Russia: Western

    Siberia, Southern and Central Russia, Timan-Pechora,

    Eastern Siberia, Far East and is involved in exploration

    projects in Kazakhstan and Algeria and has stakes infour Germany refineries through Ruhr Oel GmbH.

    The company was set to merge with Gazprom in 2005

    but this was scrapped - allegedly because then

    president Sergey Bogdanchikov would not take a

    deferential role to Gazprom CEO Alexei Miller.

    Rosneft ran one of the largest IPOs in history in 2006.

    The IPO raised $10.7 billion (including over $1 billion

    from oligarch Roman Abramovich) and Rosneft was

    valued at $79.8 billion. Financier George Soros was

    against the IPO and called for a boycott on ethical

    grounds, and Andrei Illarionov, called the deal "a crime

    against the Russian people," as none of the proceeds

    went to the state budget.

    2011 saw a major joint venture between Rosneft and

    ExxonMobil, to conduct exploration and extracting on

    the Black Sea shelf. The Tuapse Trough was estimated

    to contain 7.2 billion barrels of oil equivalent.

    Rozneft and BP were set to complete a partnership todevelop the East-Prinovozemelsky field on the Russian

    arctic shelf. The deal was not completed as BP's Russian

    partners in the TNK-BP joint venture, AAR, claimed the

    deal breached their own contract with BP which

    stipulated their partnership would be the principal

    venture for BP's Russian oil and gas operations.

    However in 2013, Rosneft completed a deal to acquire

    TNK-BP. As part of the deal BP divested its stake for

    $12.3 billion and 18.5% of Rosneft's share, while AAR

    received $28 billion.

    IGOR SECHINChairman

    Sechin graduated from Leningrad State University in

    1984 and holds a PhD in Economics.

    He has held the following roles: Deputy Head of the

    Executive Office of the President of the Russian

    Federation, Aide to the President of the Russian

    Federation and Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian

    Federation.

    In May 2012 he was appointed President of Rosneft and

    Chairman of Rosnefts Management Board. Sechin alsoserves on the boards of a number of companies

    including TNK-BP Limited. Sechin holds 9 million Rosneft

    Another super major, the Chevron Corporation isAmerica's third largest corporation according to the

    Fortune 500. It was named the worlds 16th largest

    public company by Forbes Global 2000.

    The company was founded in 1984, but its origins can

    be traced as far back to 1879 when the Pacific Coast Oil

    Companywas formed. This company was acquired by

    Standard Oil Co(part of its parent corporation

    Standard Oil) who then later rebranded the subsidiary

    to SoCal. This is when it launched the name Chevron for

    some of its product lines. In 1984 when Gulf Oil and

    SoCalmerged, it was decided the new company would

    be rebranded as Chevron.

    In 2000, Chevron bought Texaco in a $45 billion deal

    which created the US second-largest oil company and

    the worlds fourth-largest publicly traded oil company.

    The company has had many different brands under its

    umbrella including: Chevron, Standard Oil, Texaco,

    Caltex, Unocal, Star Mart, Extra Mile, Redwood

    Market, Town Pantry, Delo, Havoline, Revtex, Ursa,

    Techron and Caltex.

    Chevron is also distinguished by its environmentally

    track record and achieved the highest score for an

    American oil and gas company investing in alternative

    energy sources and setting emission reduction targets.

    The company is also largest producer of geothermal

    energy. Chevron has also slashed its own energy usage

    by more than 30% since 1992 by utilising alternative

    energy platforms including hydrogen fuel and solar

    panels at its facilities.

    In 2010 the company acquiredAtlas Petroleumfor $4.3billion to make inroads in the lucrative Marcellus and

    Utica shale plays.

    JOHN S WATSONChairman and Chief Executive Officer

    John S. Watson is chairman of the board and CEO of

    Chevron Corporation, a position he has held since 2010.

    California born Watson Watson holds a degree in

    agricultural economics from the University of California

    at Davis and a MBA from the University of Chicago.

    Following his studies he joined Chevron as a financial

    analyst in 1980. He was elected president of Chevron

    Canada Limited in 1996, and a VP of the corporation in

    1998. Two years later became the corporation's CFO

    following the Texaco merger.

    In 1975 the Kuwaiti oil industry was nationalised and an

    agreement was signed by the State of Kuwait and

    British Petroleum and Gulf giving Kuwait complete

    control of its oil resources.

    This led to the formation of the Kuwait Petroleum

    Corporation in 1980 as an umbrella organisation to

    manage the countrys diversified oil interests.

    KPC is made up of the following subsidiaries: Kuwait Oil

    Company (KOC), Kuwait National Petroleum Company

    BP

    BPD 3.1 millionFounded 1909

    Headquarters London, UK

    State Owned? No

    CEO Bob Dudley

    Revenue US$ 388.285 Billion (2012)

    Employees 85,700 (2012)

    Although founded in 1954 British Petroleums roots go

    back much further. The Anglo-Persian Oil Company

    was formed in 1909, itself an offshoot of the BurmahOil Company. It later rebranded to the Anglo-Iranian

    Oil Company and then finally to BP. 11 years later the

    company became the first to strike oil in the north

    seas

    Other notable mergers and acquisitions following its

    privatisation in 1979 / 1987 include Amoco in 1998 and

    ARCO and Burmah Castrol in 2000.

    Thanks to its 20,000 plus service stations, BP is one of

    the most recognisable oil and gas companies.The company rebranded in 2001, dropping its green

    shield logo in favour of the Helios symbol designed

    to represent event in all its forms.

    The company also adopted the slogan "Beyond

    Petroleum" highlighting their focus on all types of

    energy and stressing their commitment to a lower

    carbon future.

    BP hit rock bottom when the 2010 Gulf of Mexico

    disaster became a major global talking point and led to

    the company pleading guilty on 11 counts of

    manslaughter, two misdemeanours, and one count of

    lying to Congress resulting in $4.5 billion in fines- the

    largest criminal resolution in US history.

    Embattled CEO Tony Haywardwas also forced to quit

    his post.

    The ramifications of the Deepwater Horizonoil spill are

    still being felt today as BP stands trial in the biggest

    court case of the century. BP may face damages in

    excess of $17 billion in the trial.

    It was a turning point for the company made all the

    more unfortunate considering BPs previous efforts to

    establish its green friendly credentials with renewable

    energy. Despite this, BP still managed to be the fifth-

    largest company in the world by revenue.

    Current CEO Bob Dudleyis delivering on his new

    strategy of selling assets (including its stake in the TNK

    BPventure), resolving lawsuits and enhancing

    efficiency. This will lead to a leaner operation.

    BOB DUDLEYGroup Chief Executive

    Dudley holds a Degree in Chemical Engineering and an

    MBA. He has spent his entire career in the oil and gas

    industry including his time at Amoco where he worked

    in a number of engineering and commercial posts

    including the position of general manager for strategy

    Following the merger between BP and Amoco he took

    up a similar role and later was appointed chiefexecutive officer of TNK-BP.

    In summer 2010, he served as the president and chief

    executive officer of BPs Gulf Coast Restoration

    Organization in the US and became group chief

    executive on 1 October 2010. In 2012, Dudley earned

    1.1m plus a further 2.6m in bonuses.

    DID YOU KNOW?In 1997 BP became the first multinational outside the

    reinsurance industry to publicly support the scientific

    consensus on climate change.
