Amid a weakened global economy and fluctuating oil prices, the oil and gas industry continues to wield incredible influence in international economics and politics – especially in consideration of employment levels in the sector. The world is still dependent on oil and gas as global economies and infrastructure continue to rely heavily on petroleum-based products. There are over 200 oil and gas companies in the world. Recently, big-league conglomerates have been experiencing stiff competition from the growing number of National Oil Companies – state-owned entities that are increasingly seizing sole rights to major oil reserves. Thus begging the questions: Who are the key players in the oil sector industry and what companies can have the biggest effect on international markets? Who are the people that run these mega-corporations?
