Today’s Big Oil Super-majors only control about six percent of all worldwide gas and oil reserves. At the same time, around 88 percent of the world’s gas and oil reserves are held by the state owned and run oil companies as well as the OPEC cartel companies, mostly found within the region of the Middle East. The London based newspaper Financial Times sometimes calls these “The New Seven Sisters.” They refer to the new group of the most powerful gas and oil national companies in the world today. Their list
includes Gazprom of Russia, CNPC of China, Petrobras of Brazil, National Iranian Oil Company, Saudi Aramco, PDVSA/Citgo of Venezuela, and Petronas of Malaysia.
