List of Large-Cap Oil & Gas Exploration and Production Companies Listed on U.S. Exchanges

This list is comprised of oil and gas exploration and production companies with a market capitalization of over ten billion dollars. We update this list at the beginning of each month so it is possible that during the course of the month the stock will move below this level.

When compared to other oil and gas producers, the large-cap companies tend to have more international operations, larger totals of gross acres and more assets outside of the core exploration and production activities (midstream assets, etc.). You also start to have more companies engaged in both onshore and offshore activities including companies like Anadarko Petroleum (APC), Apache (APA) and Occidental Petroleum (OXY).
