S&P Global Platts Top 250 Global Energy Companies 2017 Edition

Energy companies are back in focus these days as crude oil prices soar. With some OPEC cartel members trying to lift and maintain prices at $100 per barrel, oil is bound to be volatile and could head higher from current levels. Even at lower prices energy firms have been making the same profits as they did at $100 and so if prices move higher they will generate even more profits. As a result it is wise to jump into selective energy firms when prices are cheap.

One way to identify the world’s top energy companies is to review the S&P Global Platts Top 250 Global Energy Companies list. This comprehensive and definitive ranking by S&P Global shows the top firms each year based on a tough selection methodology.
