Major integrated oil and gas company producing, refining and marketing petroleum and chemicals worldwide.
Sells oil, gas, fuels and chemicals at market prices, with production earning the most when prices are high and refining and fuel marketing less cyclical. The 2025 purchase of Hess added a stake in Guyana's large offshore Stabroek field, alongside Permian Basin shale and its Kazakhstan operation.
Moat: narrow (scale, cost advantage, installed base). Low-cost Permian and deepwater positions plus integrated downstream provide cost advantages.
