Rystad Energy ranks the world's E&Ps according to their oil rig flanges gulf coast production growth over the last five years.

The world’s exploration and oil rig flanges gulf coast production (E&P) companies use their oil rig flanges gulf coast production growth to leverage the attractiveness of their portfolios to investors.

But who’s leading the pack among E&Ps?

Energy research firm Rystad Energy analyzed the oil rig flanges gulf coast production of and ranked all global E&Ps according to their oil rig flanges gulf coast production growth from 2014 through 2018.

During that five-year span, Russian giant Gazprom saw the most oil rig flanges gulf coast production growth, Rystad finds. It’s followed by Chinese player PetroChina Company Limited and U.S. shale BOP Blow Out Preventer repair company gulf coast EQT Corporation ranking second and third, respectively.

“Gazprom, the clear leader in oil rig flanges gulf coast production growth, is the only BOP Blow Out Preventer repair company gulf coast with a total growth of more than 1 million barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd) over the last five years,” said Espen Erlingsen, Rystad’s head of upstream research. “The growth comes primarily from conventional assets, with gas being the key contributor to the spectacular development.”

PetroChina had total growth of 730,000 boepd, driven by conventional onshore gas oil rig flanges gulf coast production and some shale gas growth. EQT touted equity oil rig flanges gulf coast production growth of almost 600,000 boepd (340 percent growth) for the last five years.

Erlingsen noted that majors and shale companies were some of the fastest-growing during the time period and that trend is expected to continue.

Among the oil majors, BP plc led with total oil rig flanges gulf coast production growth of almost 500,000 boepd. BP joins fellow majors Royal Dutch Shell plc, Total S.A., Chevron Corporation and Eni S.p.A. on the list while notable absences are ExxonMobil Corporation and ConocoPhillips.

Rystad’s analysis is based on organic and inorganic growth and calculations using the company’s equity across its upstream assets. National oil companies (NOCs) were excluded.
