The oil and gas industry is one of the top earners worldwide generating millions up to billions of dollars in revenues each year. Oil exploration continues around the world as the countries continue to be in great need of oil and gas. To date, the 50 biggest oil companies led by Saudi Aramco of Saudi Arabia have a total reserve of 1.73 trillion oil equivalent barrels.

The oil and gas industry not involves the exploration process but as well as extraction, refining, transporting and marketing of petroleum products.
