Top 10 oil companies in the world 2025: Only 1 Indian company among top 50; here’s the full list

In comparison, ExxonMobil of the United States — the second-largest company — is worth $457 billion, far behind Aramco.

ExxonMobil, ranked second in the world, pumps out around three million barrels of crude oil and other liquids daily, according to Statista. The company operates across every part of the oil and gas supply chain—exploration, refining, distribution, and even chemicals. It has long been counted among the oil “supermajors” or “Big Oil,” a title reserved for the industry’s most dominant players.

Right after ExxonMobil is another US multinational, Chevron, which takes the third spot with a market capitalisation of $306.25 billion. Chevron is widely recognised as one of the key players in the sector.

The fourth position goes to PetroChina, the first Chinese company to appear in the rankings, with a market cap of $211.45 billion. China’s contribution to global oil supply is massive. In fact, the Asia-Pacific region led the world in oil supply in 2022, recording 65.62 million terajoules, which accounted for 34.9 per cent of the global share. PetroChina, headquartered in Beijing, is a huge part of that.

Looking at the global top ten, data from companiesmarketcap.com shows that four of the biggest oil companies are American (ExxonMobil, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, and Southern Company). Alongside them, there are two major Chinese players (PetroChina and CNOOC) and one British company, Shell.

Indian company’s rank:

While it doesn’t crack the top ten, India’s Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited (ONGC) still has a strong presence in the global list. The state-owned enterprise sits at the 45th spot with a market cap of $34.33 billion.

Five Indian companies have made it into the world’s top 100 oil and gas firms, ONGC (45th), Indian Oil (56th), Bharat Petroleum (68th), GAIL (79th) and Hindustan Petroleum (95th).
