Top 10 Oil & Gas Companies

Gazprom, a portmanteau of the Russian words Gazovaya Promyshlennost (gas industry), holds the world’s largest natural gas reserves. 

With a global share of gas reserves of 17%, Gazprom owns the world’s largest network of gas trunk lines (171.2 thousand kilometres long), most of which are tied together into the Unified Gas Supply System (UGSS) of Russia. Although a private company, the majority shares of the company are owned by the Russian government.

Following major reforms initiated by President Vladimir Putin, the company saw a shift in management personnel and policy and later sales by its major subsidiaries resulted in the Russian government gaining the controlling share in the company.
