This is data for 2017, which are based on the version provided by the famous Forbes magazine.
Velichavo is at the head of not only the oil industry, but alsoof the list of the richest companies in Russia. "Lukoil" is the result of the merger in 1991 of three Siberian oil and gas production plants. Further, smaller oil refineries and oil producers were also absorbed. In addition to Russia, activities are carried out in 25 other countries.
The company is engaged in oil production, receiving a littleless than a quarter of all oil produced in Russia, and more than 2% of all oil in the world. And also sells products made from this type of fuel.
This PJSC "Lukoil" was the first to introduce the practice "from well to machine". There are already more than 1,000 gas stations in the world. Petrol with refueling "Lukoil" has long won the confidence of motorists.
Another group of oil companies are from Siberia.As will be seen, many companies in this region have succeeded in this. And it's no accident, there are huge deposits of oil, which are the wealth of the whole country.
Its history begins back in 1965,then it was a state enterprise. And in 1992, based on it, an open joint-stock company was founded, which, after absorbing several more companies, became known as Surgutneftegaz.
For many years the company has focused on oil production in the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug. But now, in connection with the depletion of oil reserves, there is an emphasis on the Yakutian deposits.
Around the question of who owns OJSC"Surgutneftegaz", there are many legends. But despite the fact that the joint-stock company is open, it is still not known to the general public. For many years Vladimir Bogdanov is the permanent leader, who is very unlike the owner.
This company is in another richestoil region of the country - the Republic of Tatarstan. It has a holding structure and has an impressive list of subsidiaries. They, in turn, are engaged in the collection of geological data, the extraction of oil and gas and their processing, as well as the further sale of refined products. In addition, it carries out banking and insurance activities.
In the rating of the richest companies in Russia-2017"Tatneft" takes an honorable 7th place. Success and popularity are brought to it by the use of advanced technologies, the implementation of various business projects in the territory of the Russian Federation, as well as the development of the oil industry as a whole.
Tatneft has in its arsenal the scientific institutes TatNIPIneft and TatNIneftemash JSC, which constantly improve the equipment and methods of oil production.
The headquarters is located in Almetyevsk.More than a third of all shares belong to the leadership of the republic, and the rest actively participate in the bidding. The development of new fields is constantly being carried out, today there are more than 70 of them.
Group of companies "TAIF" takes 10th place in the listthe richest companies in Russia. The field of activity is the extraction of oil and gas, as well as their processing. Has been operating since 1995. He is also from Tatarstan, and the son of the former president of the republic Radik Shaimiev owns the control package. "TAIF" is an abbreviation of the name "Tatar-American Investments and Finance". The headquarters is located in the capital of the Republic of Kazan.
The company owns more than 90% of the totalpetrochemical activity of Tatarstan. But apart from this, the companies of the group are engaged in financial, construction, mass media and other industries. "TAIF" also owns 3% of the shares of the above-mentioned "Tatneft".
With a rather large margin, occupying the 16th place alreadyin the general list, goes "Sibur". The company was established in 1995, and in 1998 became a subsidiary of Gazprom. The name is an abbreviation from "Siberian-Urals Oil and Gas Chemical Company". The headquarters is located in Moscow.

The controlling stake, which is more than 34%, belongs to Leonid Mikhelson. For the second consecutive year, he ranked 1st in the Forbes ranking in Russia. And this despite the fact that in 2011 he occupied 15th place.
Probably, many could be surprised that the list does notit was Gazprom, but it's not a mistake. The company's profit for various reasons has fallen dramatically. In the first half of 2017, the figures are lower than those for 2016 by more than 10 times. This is associated with the growth of foreign currency, in particular - the euro.
