The Largest Oil and Gas Corporations in 2022: Who are They?
By Garvit Vyas , 12 October, 2022
Oil demand has begun to suffer because of rising prices and a weakening global economy, although a recovery in China and robust power generation partially offset these effects. At the same time, the rate of growth in worldwide demand has slowed slightly in 2022. A further increase is anticipated in 2023, driven by the non-OECD countries' robust development track. The World Bank also cautioned that the invasion of Ukraine by Russia and its effects on supply chains, inflation, and financial conditions had accelerated the decline in global economic activity in its most recent edition. Following are some of the largest Oil & Gas firms by revenue in 2022 based on net income.
GAZPROM, RUSSIA: PJSC Gazprom is a Russian majority state-owned multinational energy corporation headquartered in the Lakhta Center in Saint Petersburgh. During January 1 and May 15, 2022, Gazprom produced 193.8 billion cubic meters of natural gas, which marked a 3.7% decline from the corresponding period of the previous year. The gas producer has also reduced its exports to countries outside the Commonwealth of Independent States. The company reached 55.9 billion cubic meters from January 1 to May 15, 2022. Net sales of gas increased by 85% in 2021. Net sales of refined products increased by 44% in 2021.
PETROBRAS, BRAZIL: Petroleo Brasileiro engages in oil and gas exploration, production, and distribution activities. The exploration and production segment of the company involves crude oil, natural gas liquids, and natural gas exploration, development, and production. They are a publicly held corporation that operates in an integrated and specialized manner in the oil, natural gas, and energy industry.
