Platts, which provides pricing information on the energy, petrochemicals, metals and agricultural markets, has released an annual list of the largest energy companies in the world.

The rating, which includes 250 companies, is used by industrialists and financiers to determine the largest players in the energy field, to monitor global trends, and also to measure the effectiveness of their own activities in comparison with competitors.
This is how Platts ranked the top 10 largest energy companies in the world. Over the past year, their total profit amounted to $ 119 billion, and total revenue - $ 1.87 trillion.
